  Pros

  Lately, my skin has been having a hard time absorbing skincare products due to stress. 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.

  Cons

  Since 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.

  Pros

  This is the Maitoon Cell Rejuvenation 10% Niacinamide Active Toner. 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.

  Cons

  As 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.

  Tip

  Maitoon 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.

  Pros

  My skin is combination, with enlarged pores, redness, roughness, and multiple freckles. 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.)

  Cons

  I'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.)

  Tip

  It'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.
