Putting a cotton pad soaked in it on troubled areas is helpful.

I wish they had a larger size. It's so good, but it runs out quickly, so I have to buy it again. But it's still great.

The formula is like water and it absorbs incredibly well. That's what I like the most.
It doesn't feel sticky, doesn't leave a residue on the face, and gets absorbed quickly.
When I put a cotton pad soaked in it on troubled areas, it helps soothe them.
I'm a bit sensitive to scents, but the fragrance is mild and pleasant.

I'd recommend that people with very sensitive skin check this product out carefully and use it cautiously!

The artificial? synthetic? scent is a bit of a bummer ㅠㅠ
If the fragrance was better, I would give it a 100 score!😭

I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer for the first time!!
I don't usually switch up my cosmetics often,
so I've been using the same products all the time. But this time, I started using the Calming Bell Toner,
and it felt quite refreshing on my sensitive skin. It seemed to work pretty well for me!

For those with different skin types from mine, this product might work well for you. However, for those who, like me, go through the cycle of dryness > excessive sebum secretion > blemishes, I would recommend giving it some thought. I'm still in the process of finding a toner to settle on, so I looked at it quite critically. But the product itself seems decent. That it doesn't cause any breakouts on my sensitive skin is already quite remarkable...

When I select products that suit me, I look for four things:
First, that it doesn't sting or turn my skin upside down.
Second, that it helps control dryness.
Third, no excessive sebum secretion.
Fourth, soothing of blemishes.
This product met the first two criteria, but I didn't see the effects for the third and fourth. ㅠㅠ Even though it didn't cause any breakouts and provided moisture, I didn't get the feeling that it improved my skin, so I deducted one star.

I normally have extremely dry and sensitive skin. Due to my sensitive skin, I was unable to settle on a single basic skincare product and had been looking around at various products. This time, I was selected for the event and got to try the Calming Bell Toner.
While writing this event review, I promise to tell only the facts.
The most satisfying thing was that after using the toner for about 2 weeks, I didn't experience any stinging or a feeling of my skin being turned upside down. Also, the formula itself was not too watery, so it provided adequate moisture. However, since I have super dry skin, I had to apply it twice to get a moisturized feeling. ㅠㅠ

In 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 :)

The 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.

This multipurpose toner has a refreshing ocean scent!
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.

This is not just a lightweight toner, but has a slightly coated feel, so I would recommend using it after applying an essence or ampoule.

The fragrance is not great... it has a strong artificial ionized drink-like scent. The strong fragrance tends to overshadow the other positive aspects.

The moisturizing effect is really good and the feel of use is excellent. 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.

At first, when I started using it, there was a stinging sensation, and I thought 'what, is this not compatible?' But it wasn't that severe. And since there were no issues with my face, I kept using it, and the next day, that feeling was gone. ㅎㅎ

I've never won anything like an event before, but this time I won the Hwahae Trial Reviewer and gave it a try! >_< My skin is extremely dry, and even the slightest mismatch of ingredients on my face makes it turn red and inflamed, and acne pops up...ㅜㅡㅜ So I was a little worried when I first used it, but what's this??? It's amazing! I've been using it for a while now, and no more breakouts. Just cleansing my face in the morning and evening, followed by a toner, and my skin stays moisturized and absolutely wonderful all day long! 👍

It would be good to use in the winter when the skin is extremely dry.

I prefer toners with a moisturizing formula, but this product has a strange slippery feeling that I disliked.

It applies well, feeling moisturized and slightly oily, so it would be good for those with dry skin.

I think this would be great for light exfoliation! 
The toner is a bit drying, so it would likely suit oily skin types well, but those with dry or combination skin may need to use a more moisturizing lotion or cream afterwards!
And since the toner can be irritating on sensitive areas, I wouldn't recommend it for those with sensitive skin!

When the toner came into contact with my acne scars or when I used it more than twice, my skin felt slightly stinging:( However, it did not cause any burning sensation or severe irritation.
And since I have combination-dry skin, my skin felt a bit dry after using it....
Considering the retail price of 33,000 won, I think the cost-effectiveness of this product is a bit low...

To be honest, I was worried because the brand itself has a low reputation and credibility, but fortunately, my skin did not get irritated. 
The first impression was a fresh and cool scent, like the aroma of unripe apples or apple juice from a picnic - a neutral scent that I enjoyed!
The watery texture absorbed quickly and did not feel sticky at all!
And since it's an exfoliating toner, my skin felt smooth and supple after using it! So I mainly used it to refine my skin texture before applying makeup.

Of course, you should use it along with toner, serum, lotion, and moisturizer.

If 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.

Fragrance: The fragrance was very, very pleasant to me. 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.

If you apply a lot of the toner and gently wipe your face, it helps with both exfoliation and hydration.

Hmm, it might be a bit acidic and sticky, but other than that, I'm not sure...

💖Texture: The runny texture is really moisturizing and doesn't feel sticky at all!
💖Scent: At first, it had a slight cucumber scent, but after using it for a few days, it has a refreshing, sweet green apple fragrance!🍏

Even though it doesn't have a scent, I think it's still usable.
The truth is, the scent is not strong or unpleasant, and it doesn't linger for a long time, so it's not really bothering me, but I still feel a bit of a disappointment.

The first impression lasts~
The bottle is 200ml, but it's slender and tall, so the grip feels good.
I use it every day, and if the bottle is thick or heavy, it's hard to reach for it, you know?

When you use it with a cotton pad, it feels light,
and when you use it with your hands, it feels a bit more moisturizing.
Toner is the first step in skincare, and if the nutrition is too much, the absorption will be slower, making it difficult to use the next step of skincare.
On the other hand, if it evaporates too quickly, it will dry out quickly.
The Calming Bell Toner is just in the middle~
It feels light, but it doesn't dry out quickly.
