I'm not sure if I'm just not sensitive, but I can't smell the alcohol scent mentioned in other reviews, even when I put my nose right up to it and sniff. The texture is watery, but how should I describe it? After applying, it feels somewhat firm? For a watery product, I got a strong impression of firmness. The container has a small opening, making it easy to control the amount. Usually, watery products tend to gush out, making it hard to control, but this one's small opening made it easy.
ConsAs someone who prefers extracts over purified water in skincare lines, I found this a bit disappointing. It dries too quickly to use as a mask! After applying the toner, you need to move on to the next step right away. The texture seems more suitable for applying with hands rather than as an exfoliating toner.

Pros: 1. Packaging I loved the clean packaging and container. The design is pleasantly simple. 2. Gentleness Despite my acne-prone, super sensitive skin, I've been using it for over a week without any blemishes. It's working well for me. Being a vegan product adds to my confidence in using it. 3. Container The slim bottle takes up less space than other toners, making storage easy. I prefer applying directly with my hands, and the small opening is perfect for controlling the amount (though those who use cotton pads might find it a bit frustrating).
ConsCons: 1. Effectiveness(?) While it seems to have a soothing effect, the impact on pores and dead skin cells appears minimal. It might work better in combination with other products, but as a standalone item, don't expect dramatic results (this is highly subjective and may vary depending on your skin type or with more consistent use). 2. Hydration As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it dried quickly when applied alone. It worked well when layered with other skincare products. If you dislike oiliness, you might appreciate this. 3. Scent This might be a matter of personal preference, but it has a somewhat natural, herbal scent. It's not unpleasant, but I didn't particularly like it either.
TipThe lightweight formula makes it suitable for sensitive skin types looking for a gentle product. It's great for everyday use.

The outer box has a sleek black design, and the product packaging itself looks clean and high-end for its price point. The bottle has a slim, easy-to-hold size. This is my first time trying a toner from Pyunkang Yul, and it seems pretty decent!
ConsBeing a hydration-focused toner, it has a water-like consistency (as expected) without any additional standout features. It's quite lightweight, so you'll need to follow up with an emulsion or cream to complete your skincare routine. The watery texture might make it dry a bit quickly...?
TipNo special tips to share, really. Just make sure to apply your next skincare product while your skin is still damp from the toner for best results.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsI swapped out the twist-off cap for a spray nozzle from another product. After cleansing, I generously misted it on. It feels refreshingly cool and really calms the skin. (I think this toner will be especially great for summer use!) After about a minute, you can feel the deep hydration kicking in. The outer layer of skin absorbs it beautifully, leaving a fresh, matte finish, while the deeper layers feel plump and bouncy. It's so comfortable, with no tightness, effectively replenishing moisture deep within the skin. There's no noticeable scent, making it perfect for the whole family to use without any preference issues. The formula is packed with hydration without any oiliness, characterized by its light, watery consistency.
ConsI wish it came with a spray nozzle. The current twist-off cap isn't ideal - the toner's consistency is so fluid that it tends to spill or evaporate when you try to dispense it onto your hand. Since it's completely oil-free, this product is best suited for skin types that need to balance their oil and moisture levels. While it would be great for oily or acne-prone skin, providing much-needed hydration and controlling excess sebum, those with dry skin might find they need to apply multiple layers. The formula absorbs quickly and feels refreshing, but it can leave dry skin feeling parched pretty fast.
TipThis product is great for the '7-skin method', but for those with sensitive or reactive skin, it's better to apply it generously on a cotton pad instead. Leave it on for exactly 5 minutes - no more, no less - then remove. You'll be left with glowing, honey-like skin! Be careful not to leave it on for longer than 10 minutes, as it can start to dry out the skin. Timing is crucial!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsApplication & Absorption: It's decent, not sticky, and feels like water. While it might not be bad for all skin types, those with dry skin shouldn't expect it to provide much hydration. Since this toner's purpose seems to be sebum and oil control, it might be a bit drying for some. Hydration: Rather than being intensely hydrating, it provides just enough moisture as a toner to lay the foundation and alleviate some deep dryness. It's not exceptionally moisturizing. Soothing: As someone with sensitive skin, I was curious about its soothing properties when I heard about its hydrating and calming effects. I'm still unsure... Since AHA doesn't agree with my skin, when I used it as a toner pack, it irritated my skin and caused some blemishes. However, when applied normally without using it as a pack, it seems fine...!? Summer Use: It seems suitable for summer when oil production increases! Skin Type: Combination dehydrated skin, cheeks need some oil to prevent clogged pores (except in summer), T-zone tends to be oily. Thin skin with visible capillaries. Works Well With: Soothing: Aloe, thermal water mist, zinc Acne Care: Mild tea tree (Mediheal Tea Tree Serum), mild Houttuynia Cordata Moisturizing: Ceramide products Nourishing: Propolis Doesn't Work Well With: Due to thin skin, PHA and LHA are better than BHA, which is better than AHA for summer oil control. Excessive use (e.g., daily masks) of Houttuynia Cordata, mugwort, hyaluronic acid, tea tree, etc. can cause blemishes. Fermented lines: Probiotics don't agree, cause blemishes. Excessive cooling ingredients also don't suit well.
ConsI need to use it a bit more, but except for my cheeks, when I apply the toner more than twice on my nose area and forehead, I get blemishes, probably because my skin is thin. It only absorbs well on my cheeks while drying out on my nose!! I'll have to be careful and apply it sparingly on different areas...

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros* I'll leave my skin type details in the tips section. Pros: 1. Fragrance-free As someone with sensitive skin and nose, strong fragrances often cause skin reactions. This product is truly unscented, which likely means fewer artificial chemicals. 2. Non-irritating For me, there's no miracle product that prevents blemishes - it's all about lifestyle management and diet (I've even cut out wheat and dairy). So the most important thing is to avoid new breakouts. This toner is gentle and non-irritating. I even tried it as a cotton pad mask without any issues!
Cons1. Dryness It feels a bit drier than my usual toner! I tend to find most water-based toners drying though. When I used it as a cotton pad mask, it dried faster than others I've tried. 2. Slight slipperiness As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I need hydration without excess oil. This leaves a very subtle slick feeling - not bothersome, but noticeable. It's like the moisture and oil components are separated.
Tip* Skin Type: 1. Extremely sensitive skin My skin was already thin, but extreme dieting and stress damaged my gut. Poor gut health lowers immunity, which affects skin... Even typically soothing ingredients like houttuynia cordata or tea tree now irritate my skin. The slightest provocation causes redness and stinging. 2. Prone to flushing I have a cool undertone with a grayish cast, but my face flushes easily. Even mild activity or emotional changes cause patchy redness, giving me a unique complexion. 3. Easily clogged pores My skin is so sensitive that even slightly blocked pores lead to tiny bumps all over. I can't use concealer, powder, contour, or powder-heavy foundations. BB creams work best for me. 4. Extremely combination dehydrated skin My face gets very oily but is also super dry. Dryness causes flushing, so I use cool compresses, but those can be irritating too. Moisturizers like Physiogel instantly clog my pores. => How I'm coping: After watching Yuhwa's videos, I cut out wheat and dairy completely. Previously, I tried antibiotics, isotretinoin, and even birth control (for potential hormonal issues), but the side effects caused hair loss. Eliminating wheat and dairy really improved my skin. I still get some blemishes, but not the painful kind! I keep a note of foods that trigger reactions. Bonus: Cutting out wheat and dairy helped me lose weight effortlessly. Now I'm actually trying to gain weight by eating lots of meat and rice!

As someone with sensitive skin, I often experience redness and tingling when using harsh products, but this one isn't irritating at all. I had a skin flare-up after a recent trip, but using this helped calm it down! I have extremely dry skin underneath, so I used to slather on cream before bed, but would always wake up with dry, yet oily-looking skin. However, after patting this on 2-3 times and applying a moderate amount of cream, my skin felt soft in the morning without excessive dryness! I also appreciate the clear bottle without a label, which allows me to see the contents and makes recycling easier.
ConsWhile it doesn't cause any tightness, it has low oil content and absorbs quickly, which might make the skin's surface feel dry. I wouldn't recommend this for those wanting surface-level hydration. The texture is watery, but the wide, flat opening causes a lot of product to spill out. It's decent as an exfoliating toner, but it's wasteful when trying to dispense it into your hand.

I liked that this product has a lightweight texture, and it feels moisturizing when applied to the face. It's not burdensome to layer it two or three times. Being slightly acidic, it seemed to alleviate itchiness.
ConsRight after application, it feels moisturizing and gives a slight glow, but within a minute, it starts to feel a bit dry. Even though my skin is on the oily side, I need to add a bit more hydration to feel comfortable. Honestly, I don't notice any reduction in pores or oiliness.
TipI find it easier to apply by letting it drip directly onto my face and then gently patting it in. Applying it this way seems to improve absorption somewhat.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros1. Instant hydration is great. - I have combination dehydrated skin, and when it doesn't get enough moisture, I tend to feel oily and my skin cracks. It absorbs quickly, so layering it a few times gives an instant hydration boost! I also felt like it somewhat reduced my sebum production. 2. Exfoliation - There's no pilling when applying makeup, so it seems to have an exfoliating effect. 3. Gentle ingredients - There's no fragrance, and it feels just like water, so it's absolutely non-irritating.
Cons1. Narrow opening - The bottle opening is too narrow. While it's probably unavoidable due to the watery consistency, I thought it might be better to transfer it to a mist bottle for use. 2. Short-lasting hydration - The immediate hydration is good, but it seems to lack something to lock in the moisture? If you don't layer it enough, it dries quickly and leaves your skin feeling even drier. It might be better suited for summer use rather than winter, for a fresh feel. 3. Watery texture and lack of fragrance - Perhaps it's necessary for the gentle formulation, but the completely watery texture and lack of fragrance make you wonder if you're just applying water. As I prefer products with more viscosity, it didn't suit my personal taste.
Tip1. Use as an exfoliating toner + layering - The most noticeable effect I felt from this product was exfoliation, so using it as an exfoliating toner and layering it several times for hydration might work well. 2. Use as a mist - It might be good to spray it like a mist and pat it in for better absorption of hydration.

It doesn't sit on top of the skin, but rather absorbs quickly! If you don't like having toner or essence residue on your face, I recommend this one! •Hydration The hydration is so good that your entire face feels moisturized! It absorbs quickly into the deeper layers of skin, but also leaves moisture on the surface! •Blemishes Perhaps because it's soothing, I didn't experience any blemishes at all, and it's gentle so it's less irritating to the skin. *Volume=150ml*
ConsI wouldn't recommend this for those who only use toner! Or for those with dry skin! After a little while, it dries up quickly and leaves the skin feeling dry. Aside from this point, I'm satisfied and using it well.
TipIf you apply in the order of [toner -> skin -> essence -> cream], your facial care routine is complete! I hope everyone achieves that soft, supple skin!
