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.

I used it diligently, morning and evening, for a week, and I noticed my skin gradually calming down, especially the quick reduction in my blemishes. Although it is a water-based toner, I didn't experience significant dryness. It helped refine my skin texture before makeup application, and the makeup went on smoothly. Even the skin irritated from constant mask-wearing visibly calmed down by the evening application and when I woke up. I had been experiencing some flakiness and breakouts around my cheeks due to mask-wearing, but those issues have significantly subsided. I believe with continued use, my skin will see even more improvement.
ConsThe fragrance... I wonder if they really needed to add an artificial scent. The fragrance was quite strong and synthetic, which was a big turnoff for me as I typically use fragrance-free, gentle toners. My sister, who has acne-prone skin, also tried this with me, and she felt it wasn't particularly recommended for acne-prone skin, as the calming effects weren't as pronounced. While it seems effective for blemishes, it may not be the best option for those with full-blown acne.
TipI used the 1/2 puff sold at Olive Young, tearing it in half. I first wiped my face with one half, then gently patted the skin with the other half. Finally, I sprayed the product onto my palm and pressed it into the areas of concern on my face.

As I have oily skin, I tend to avoid makeup products with a lot of oil, but this one didn't feel sticky at all and had a refreshing finish, which I liked. It seems like a pretty decent item.
ConsThe price is a bit high... If they could lower the price a bit, I'd consider buying it! The formula contains fragrance, but I think they could do without it!! The scent is a bit divisive, I found it rather unique.
TipAfter trying both the cleansing oil and the cleansing balm, I'm quite satisfied with the results!!

Skin characteristics: Oily T-zone, facial flushing with dry cheeks Preferred product features: Lightweight + hydrating, no stickiness Evaluation criteria: First impression (texture, fragrance, etc.)/hydration/skin soothing/moisture retention/finish Although there is no 0.5 score, I've rounded it up to 4 points, but I would have given it 3.5 points if possible. 1. First impression (bad) The texture feels slightly like a watery gel. It's not completely runny like water, but there's a slight viscosity to it. The fragrance is a fresh floral scent? But it's a bit too fresh... It's hard to pinpoint the exact flower, but it reminds me of the assortment of flowers sold in front of schools during graduation or enrollment ceremonies, with a hint of green apple. 2. Hydration (good) I tried it with and without cleansing. Even with just a light layer, the hydrating effect is quite noticeable. 3. Skin soothing (so-so) Since I have facial flushing, I can distinguish between toners that instantly soothe the skin and those that don't. This one is somewhere in the middle. The cooling sensation isn't extremely strong, but the unique hydrating property prevents any irritation or discomfort. 4. Moisture retention (good) Thanks to the texture, the moisture seems to last quite well. My previous product was a completely watery formula, and my face would dry up quickly after application, but with this one, my face still feels hydrated even after watching a YouTube video. 5. Finish (so-so) The surface of my skin feels moisturized, but I'm not entirely convinced that it deeply hydrates the skin. It provides a protective layer, but the moisture doesn't seem to fully absorb into the skin.
Cons1. I'm extremely sensitive to fragrances, and if I detect even a hint of artificial scent, I immediately feel averse to it. This product has exactly that kind of fragrance... Although I've gotten used to it a bit after using it for a week, the initial scent is still quite jarring. 2. The finish is not as refreshing as I'd like. Since I greatly prefer lightweight formulas, this doesn't quite align with my preferences (I avoid thick moisturizers and instead layer several soothing, hydrating products).
TipI think the product works better when applied with the palms rather than with a cotton pad. With a texture between a toner and a serum, this could be a good option for those who prefer to minimize their skincare routine and use fewer products, rather than layering multiple steps.
