It works great for both cleansing and toning. Personally, I found the application to be cooling and non-irritating. When wiped with a cotton pad, you can see the yellow dead skin cells being removed, making it great for refinement as well. Even when applied with just the hands without a cotton pad, the hydration level is quite nice. While the moisture level is not as high as my usual Tonymoly Ceramide toner, I liked that this one can be used for both cleansing and toning. Oh, and the slim and pretty packaging is a bonus.
ConsThe price does seem a bit high. While it works well for removing dead skin cells and providing good hydration, without any special additional functions, the high price is a bit of a drawback for using it freely.
TipIn the morning, I like to apply it with my hands for a toning effect, and in the evening, I use it with a cotton pad for gentle exfoliation - this routine has been working well for me :)

After cleansing, I can just apply it with my hands and the amount is not burdensome - a few pumps is enough to make my skin feel nicely hydrated. However, it's not just a lightweight, watery feel, but there is a slight oily/coated sensation. Still, it works well without causing any blemishes.
ConsThe fragrance is not great... it has a strong artificial ionized drink-like scent. The strong fragrance tends to overshadow the other positive aspects.
TipThis is not just a lightweight toner, but has a slightly coated feel, so I would recommend using it after applying an essence or ampoule.

ConsI prefer toners with a moisturizing formula, but this product has a strange slippery feeling that I disliked.
TipIt would be good to use in the winter when the skin is extremely dry.

It felt like smelling the trees and flowers in the forest. Design: It is very neat and matte, so it looks pretty. Moisture: Although you may not be able to see it in the photo, my skin is originally dry and I have a lot of wrinkles on my hands. However, the right hand, after applying the toner, did not lose its moisture quickly and remained plump, helping to control the dryness.
ConsIf there is one thing, it's that my skin is already sensitive and irritable, and it has become even worse due to wearing a mask, so I have an extremely sensitive skin type. I felt a bit of stinging, and there was also a burning sensation when the alcohol went away. If your skin is not like mine, it might be fine.
TipOf course, you should use it along with toner, serum, lotion, and moisturizer.

ConsHmm, it might be a bit acidic and sticky, but other than that, I'm not sure...
TipIf you apply a lot of the toner and gently wipe your face, it helps with both exfoliation and hydration.

The toner seemed thicker than regular toners, so I thought it would be better at locking in moisture, and sure enough, it felt quite hydrating when I used it. I found that I only needed to use a little bit of lotion before makeup, as the toner seemed to provide enough moisture on its own. I would apply the toner twice and then do my makeup, and it didn't feel like it was slipping or moving around. It had a nice, balanced level of hydration. Since it's not a completely watery type, I could even use it like a face mask by soaking a cotton pad and leaving it on my skin, and it wouldn't dry me out at all - it just kept my skin feeling moisturized. And the fresh scent lingered nicely, which I enjoyed.❤️
ConsThere wasn't really anything I disliked, but the one thing is that my face still gets quite oily in the mornings after sleeping, which hasn't improved. But that's been an issue for me before, so I don't really consider it a downside of this product.

I apply this toner and then a moisturizing cream. It doesn't feel exactly like water, but it's a bit heavier than the toner I used before. The 'heavy' feeling doesn't mean it's burdensome on my face, but rather that it provides more nourishment. I think it makes my skin a bit more hydrated than the toner did:) 🐰 Versatility -> Not a downside, but an advantage:) This product works well for both me and my sister, even though we have different skin types. I think this means it's a pretty versatile product that most people can use comfortably. For those who aren't sure about their skin type, this could be a good option!
Cons🐰 Very Dry Skin While I didn't have any issues, I think people with extremely dry skin might not find this suitable. But I don't have very dry skin myself, so I'm not sure. 🐰 Price The thing I mentioned as an advantage earlier becomes a downside here... Haha. I probably wouldn't buy this product at this price. I'm using it because I received it, but I don't think I'd want to purchase it with my own money. It's just a fairly average product, so I don't feel it has great value for the price.
Tip🐰 Toner Application You should soak a cotton pad with the toner and gently wipe it across your face following the grain of your skin. The key is to make sure the cotton pad is thoroughly soaked, with no rough feeling at all!

Sometimes what they say is really mild doesn't really fit, but this one really suits me well After using it, it doesn't dry out completely and is moisturizing and good The scent is also refreshing like after taking a shower??ㅋㅋㅋ I like it
ConsThe amount is a bit disappointing ㅠㅠ I tend to use a lot of toner, but it's a shame to use it up ㅠㅠ
TipIt's also great to use as a skin pack since it's so moisturizing~

The Calming Bell Toner felt slightly moisturizing even when used as a cleansing toner, and it helped manage my dead skin and sebum. It seems to balance my skin's moisture levels well, using seaweed extract instead of just water. Skincare products containing female ginseng have also worked well for me, and this product was a good match too!
ConsThis toner might feel a bit heavy for me in the summer, but it should be suitable for other seasons. The toner itself isn't extremely watery, but the moisture content made it feel slightly heavy when applied to my skin.
TipI think it's better to use this in the evening before bedtime rather than in the morning. While I used it with a cotton pad, it would also work well if you just scoop some out with your hands. I think this would be a great fit for those who struggle with tightness. It's difficult to exfoliate every day, but being able to gently remove dead skin just by using this toner in the evening is so convenient! I'll have to finish the whole bottle to know for sure, but I'm planning to repurchase this.

You don't have many breakouts, but your main skin concerns are dullness, blackheads, and enlarged pores. 1. Texture The best thing about this toner is the texture. Since my skin tends to be more on the dry side, I only use water-based toners for exfoliating. Generally, I prefer toners with a bit of viscosity that can provide hydration. This toner has just the right amount of viscosity, which quickly replenishes moisture after cleansing. 2. Fragrance The fragrance is something that might be a hit or miss for some. Those who dislike artificial fragrances in cosmetics may not like it, but I personally really enjoy the scent. It's not too artificial, with a slight herbal/refreshing aroma that feels like a 40% synthetic, 60% natural blend. In fact, before being selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer, I had recently purchased a toner from Lush, and the fragrance of this toner was right up my alley. 3. Gentleness Since I don't tend to have many breakouts, I can't fully judge this aspect, but I didn't experience any irritation or trouble while using the toner. It should be suitable for most people who are not overly sensitive.
Cons1. High Price Compared to the Functions After using the product, I confirmed that it provides sufficient hydration, but I felt that it lacks distinctive features or standout benefits. It was a pleasant and reliable toner to use, but I couldn't find a compelling reason why I must use this product specifically. If I had to point out something unique, it would be the fragrance - I feel like I could recognize this product just by its scent. However, there are quite a few toners in the market that can provide a similar level of hydration, so I felt the price point was a bit high in comparison. I often used this toner as a toner pack, and toner packs tend to consume a fair amount of product per use. For frequent toner pack users, the price-to-volume ratio would be an important consideration. I'm not sure if I would be willing to purchase this toner just to use it as a toner pack, as the price may be a bit burdensome for that purpose. Those who enjoy toner packs of this texture may find the cost a bit steep. 2. Packaging I initially thought the packaging was interesting and pretty, with the nice color and soft, velvety feel. However, as I continued using it, I found it difficult to check the remaining product volume. If the packaging maintained the same aesthetic but had a slightly transparent section to easily see the amount left, it would have been more user-friendly.
TipThat's a great way to use this toner! Since you mentioned that your skin tends to get very dry around your face when drying your hair, using this toner as a toner pack is an excellent idea. The toner pack texture seems well-suited for that purpose. Your routine of doing the toner pack, followed by an essence, and then adjusting your moisturizer and sunscreen based on the weather conditions sounds like a great way to keep your skin properly hydrated and prepped for makeup application. This approach ensures your skin is in the optimal state - not too dry, not too oily. Sounds like you've found a great way to incorporate this toner into your skincare regimen!
