So, without realizing it, my expectations for the product went up ใ ใ Most of all, I really liked the fact that the ingredients were gentle, and I've been using the product consistently since the day I received it. The texture is not too watery or too thick - it has about a 50% viscosity, you could say. So, the application felt smooth. Also, the absorption was good, so I felt like it was sinking into my skin. Even though I have extremely dry skin in the summer, I felt like my skin was getting a bit more hydrated. So, I'm quite satisfied with this aspect as well.
ConsI think the toner is fulfilling its function well, and I don't really have any complaints about it.
TipIf you keep it in the refrigerator and use it, you can use it more refreshingly!

I couldn't carelessly change my skincare products due to the cheek seborrheic dermatitis that has been bothering me for years, but the Maitoon Niacinamide Active Toner was absorbed gently without irritation. I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but it seems to have calmed down a bit!! Just a few pats of the toner and I felt like my moisture and oil balance was right. Normally, I would have to apply toner from another brand, then an ampoule, and finally a cream to get rid of the dry feeling, but this time, I just applied the cream right after the toner since the ampoule ran out, and I didn't feel like anything was missing. It feels worth the price. It's packaged in a fancy glass bottle. I think the amount you get for the price is reasonable. I'm not sure if it's because I won the Hwahae Trial Reviewer program and received it, but the packaging was very neat and nicely tied with a ribbon, which made me feel good.
ConsNone~ Since there isn't any, I think I'll repurchase it.

This product felt very gentle, and I noticed good absorption while using it. There was no greasy residue. I did use it as an evening care product, so that may have contributed to the smooth application. Although it claims to have wrinkle improvement effects, the formula didn't feel too heavy. I usually find anti-aging or wrinkle care products to be burdensome, especially in the dry fall and winter weather, but this one wasn't like that. Since it's still summer and humid, I think I could even use it in the mornings come fall. The glass packaging also felt a bit heavy when I picked up the product, but it's much better than plastic containers.
ConsSince I only used it for a short time, I didn't see any dramatic effects. For my skin, using it in the evenings worked much better during the summer.

I think I will stick with this product. I usually use it as a skin toner, and it absorbs well into the skin and provides good moisture. As I have dry and sensitive skin, two applications are just right. I've used it from summer to winter, and it's been great in any season (since my skin is dry year-round). I had tried other brand's toners, but my skin would get irritated after a few days, so I switched back to this one, and my skin calmed down within a day. =========================== Previous Hwahae Trial Reviewer review๐ I have sensitive skin and atopic dermatitis, so I can't use products with harsh ingredients or strong retinol. I was also worried about using niacinamide, as it can potentially irritate sensitive skin. - Skin irritation Despite having atopic and sensitive skin, there was no significant irritation. Only the area around my eyebrows felt a bit warm on the days I shaved. But to be honest, most toners tend to sting a bit after shaving, so this level of irritation is not really a concern. I think even those with atopic dermatitis or sensitive skin can use this product without worry. - Moisturizing The formula is a bit unique - it has a slightly slippery texture. At first, it doesn't seem to absorb well, but it doesn't leave any tightness or dryness either. It's quite interesting. As a dry-skinned person, I was able to finish my morning routine with just this toner and a cream, and at night, I applied the toner twice and then a cream, without any dryness. However, I'm not sure how well it would work for oily/combination skin types. - Functionality My skin tone is uneven, and after about 10 days of use, I didn't notice any significant improvement in that aspect. However, I took before and after photos, and I can see that my nasolabial folds have slightly softened. I can see a mild effect, and I will continue using it and provide an updated review.
ConsI didn't particularly like the slightly slippery texture at first, but I got used to it and ended up liking the formula. However, I noticed some white crystals forming in the product, but even when I applied it to my face, there were no issues.

At 150ml, it seems like it will last a while. This toner has wrinkle improvement functionality. Moisture and absorption The products that don't just sit on the surface and have good absorption also tend to have less tightness. This product was quick to absorb. Normally when I just apply toner and walk around, I immediately feel tightness, but this toner didn't have that tightness for a while even without applying other base products! It seems to have a good amount of moisture and nourishment. I recommend this to those with dry skin. Skin texture improvement This seems effective in improving skin texture. After properly feeding the skin with this toner, the skin texture becomes unusually soft. This also amplifies the effects of other base products. Soothing effect I tend to have a lot of breakouts around my period, but thanks to this product, the breakouts subsided quickly. It contains centella extract, which seems to agree well with my skin. I plan to make good use of this on days when my skin is fatigued, as it's good for skin recovery.
ConsAs for the main functions of wrinkle improvement and tone improvement, I haven't noticed the effects yet. These are elements that are difficult to see short-term effects on. But I think if I use it long-term, I'll be able to feel the difference. There are white particles stuck around the container, but I'm not sure exactly what they are.
TipMaitoon is a combination of the words 'mitochondria' and 'ON', meaning to turn on or enhance the mitochondria. To add to the explanation provided in the booklet, mitochondria are organelles within cells that play a crucial role in generating the energy used by living organisms. However, they are also the site of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. As cells age, the condition of the mitochondria deteriorates, leading to decreased energy production efficiency and increased ROS generation. These ROS can cause damage both inside and outside the cells, contributing to the development of wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity. I've participated in various Hwahae events before, but this is the first time I've encountered a brand that has put so much care into the packaging and even included a postcard. The fact that life science experts were directly involved in the product development makes me want to try out their other offerings as well. Since my first impression was not bad, I may consider purchasing from them again in the future. I recommend this product.

The product description included with the item also conveys a strong sense of pride in the product, making me really look forward to using it. The liquid formula is suitable for use as a cleansing balm, as well as for simply applying and absorbing it with your hands. The scent is also subtle, so I don't think there will be any strong likes or dislikes.
ConsIn terms of efficacy, it is a wrinkle-improving functional product, but it was difficult to see the effects in the short-term trial period. However, the mild ingredients make it seem like a good product to use consistently. In fact, after reading the product description, I'm now interested in trying the ampoule as well. If I get the chance, I'd like to purchase and use it.
TipIt seems to work well as a cleansing balm in the morning and for absorbing with your hands in the evening.

It would be suitable for those considering functional skincare, even for those in their late 20s, as it is not too heavy and absorbs well into the skin. The dark-colored glass packaging seems to be designed to block out light, though I'm not sure if that was the intention. Regardless, I like the packaging. I'd also like to try the ampoule from this product line.
ConsDuring initial use, there was a possibility of some irritation, so I only used it at night. While the toner doesn't have much viscosity, there is a slight weight to it, so I had to get used to that.
TipI felt this product was more like a boosting skin or essence, rather than a typical toner. After using my regular toner, I found this product absorbed better, without any irritation. I'm now using it daily, both day and night.

The first impression was that it had a very watery texture, which absorbed quickly, and I was worried it might be drying, but I was pleasantly surprised by how moisturizing it was. For oily skin types, layering this toner 3 times is enough to provide sufficient hydration without needing a cream. I was concerned the 10% niacinamide might be irritating, but it turned out to be very gentle, and the centella leaf water as the first ingredient suggests it also has a soothing effect. When using it as a toner pack, it doesn't dry out quickly and provides great hydration. Even though it has the same ingredients as the Piteura essence, which didn't work well for me, this toner was great without causing any trouble. I'd give it a 10/10 for having no concerning ingredients.
ConsFor oily skin types, this toner might feel a bit heavy. The strong hydration means that after applying the toner and doing your base makeup, you may feel like your makeup is getting oily throughout the day. It's unclear whether this is due to the toner itself or your makeup routine. The brightening and soothing effects are not as dramatic as expected.
TipGiven the strong hydrating properties, this toner would be suitable for all skin types except extremely dry skin. You can finish your routine with a lightweight moisturizer. I recommend using it as a toner pack for about 10 minutes and then gently patting it in for best absorption.

I use the water-based toner as a galvanic cleansing step, then double-cleanse again. It absorbs quickly, and my skin tone has improved by half a shade. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin, and my skin texture has become much smoother. (My boyfriend's skin around his mouth had become really irritated from wearing masks, but it has improved a lot.)
ConsI'm currently using the Maitoon set (toner, ampoule, cream), and while my skin tone has improved by half a shade, it feels like there's not enough oil. The T-zone is quite oily, but the cheeks weren't dry enough. However, after switching my skincare, the cheeks have become drier. (Oh, and while my skin tone has improved, the freckles haven't faded much.)
TipIt's summer now, so my routine is: Evening - Toner (galvanic cleansing) + double-cleanse + 2 pumps of ampoule + cream Morning - 1 pump of toner + 1 pump of ampoule + sunscreen I can see the difference in my skin when I wash my face in the morning, and when it feels too dry, even in summer, applying a thin layer of cream helps. (As mentioned before, the cheeks got drier, but it's not irritating. Applying a thin layer of the same line's cream in the morning helps. I also think using a full set from the same line has a better synergistic effect than using single products.) My boyfriend has tried it a few times and seen improvements in his skin, so he keeps stealing it, and I'll be repurchasing soon too.
