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
ConsWhen 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.
TipFor 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...

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.

After cleansing, gently pat the skin with your hands to help absorb the moisture and address the dryness in the pores! 👍🏻The formula is great! It's not a complete watery skin, nor is it a thick, sticky one - it's just the right in-between. After cleansing, just lightly pat it in with your hands, and your skin will feel smooth and supple! 👍🏻Gentle ingredients! I'm very picky about skincare products since my skin is sensitive and prone to breakouts, but the gentle ingredients seem to have a calming effect on my skin and help soothe any troubles.
Cons✔️Fragrance The overall ingredients are great and gentle, but it's a shame that there are artificial fragrances added. I wish the fragrance-free, all-gentle formula would have been even better. The fragrance made me take off one star. 🥲 ✔️Opaque packaging The packaging is completely opaque, so it's hard to see how much product is left or how much I've used. I wish there was at least a transparent section to check the remaining amount.
TipIf you apply the skin toner generously on a cotton pad and do a 5-10 minute skin pack, your skin will feel intensely hydrated and your makeup will go on even better!

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.

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.ProsHere is a Hwahae Trial Reviewer's review: Please refer to my skin characteristics, preferences, and evaluation criteria below! 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.

I've been applying it diligently morning and evening for 12 days~~ The scent is refreshing, like a soap scent, and the texture is similar to a regular toner, but it applies smoothly and moisturizes well~~ I think this would be a great basic skincare product for men that doesn't leave the skin feeling tight! I thought there might be oil ingredients, but there don't seem to be any.. My skin is dry, and when I use oil-based products, my skin tends to break out, so I'm relieved I can apply this diligently without any issues^^ Even when I used to apply toner, my skin would still feel tight, so I had to rely on ampoules for the first step of my skincare routine. But after 2 years, I've been able to transition back to using a toner~~ I don't apply it to cotton pads, but instead, I gently pat it directly onto my face in 3 layers~~ It applies so smoothly, I have to compliment it👍 After 12 days of use, I haven't experienced any troublesome breakouts^^
ConsThe downside is that even though I followed up with a cream, my skin still felt a bit tight after using the toner ㅠㅠ The tightness is why I had switched to starting my routine with an ampoule.. Even after the 3-step toner, ampoule, and cream routine, there's still some occasional tightness that requires an additional layer of cream!! It applies so smoothly and moisturizes well, but those who are used to that tight feeling may not be fully satisfied~~ I'll have to recommend this to my husband~~ The refreshing soap scent should work well for men too^^
TipI don't wipe it off with cotton pads, but instead, I gently pat the toner directly onto my face in 3 layers~~ The application feels very smooth, and I think it helps the product absorb better into the skin~~ I do this 3 times in a row~~

It seems to help control some dryness, and my skin feels smooth and soft. As a dry-skinned person, I need a cream, but my oily-skinned husband says it's fine. It seems to be nicely moisturizing and easy to use. I didn't experience any particular skin issues.
ConsThe scent is like a sweet rose or lilac - a floral fragrance. It might be divisive. A more fresh and crisp scent like the packaging would have suited it better.
TipI can layer it without feeling burdened, and use it when my skin feels dry.

It's not overly thin, so it feels good after application. The scent is also very pleasant and not at all off-putting. It's easy to apply and has decent moisturizing power, so I'm completely satisfied. The packaging design is also clean and nice.
ConsFor those with dry skin, this might not be enough on its own, but I don't think that's the case for most people.
TipI first applied it to a cotton pad to gently cleanse my skin (removing some impurities), then reapplied it directly to my skin for better absorption. This helps it absorb even better!

Even though I didn't use it with a lotion, just talking about the toner, it's just the right amount. After cleansing, it helps with the tightness to some degree, and it's moisturizing and good. :) The toner also has a nice fragrance.
ConsThe price seems a bit high... ㅠㅠ Other than that, it seems good.
TipIf you soak a cotton pad with it and leave it on before going to work, it seems like it would be good as a toner pack. It also seems like it would be good to leave it on trouble spots to have a calming effect. ㅎㅎ
