As soon as you apply it, it absorbs quickly like a refreshing rain shower on dry skin, giving an instant cooling sensation. Not a cold coolness, but a thirst-quenching refreshment! Especially on the cheeks, you can feel them becoming plump and firm. It might be psychological, but I think I can even see the difference! Since it's not tailored for a specific skin type, it's disappointing that there's no explanation on how to use it for different skin types. At first, not knowing better, I used three pumps and got some small blemishes due to over-nourishment. After reducing it to one pump, the problem resolved. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 11, 2021
First off, I love that it's a large size, so I can apply it generously without worrying about running out. It's not completely watery, but has just a hint of viscosity, making it easier to absorb. It seems to provide more hydration than a typical water-based toner, which worked well for me! The texture isn't too heavy, and after application, it leaves a slightly firm feeling with a smooth surface that makes you want to gently touch your skin. I didn't experience any blemishes or tingling sensation on my skin at all! Plus, the design is really pretty! While the overall ingredients are gentle, keep in mind that 'gentle' doesn't necessarily mean it will suit everyone, so be cautious! The bottle has a cap-style lid instead of a twist-open one, which some people might find convenient while others might not. The large size is great, but it can feel a bit heavy for daily use. That's why I've transferred some into a spray bottle for personal use. It's great for spraying directly on the face or soaking cotton pads, which I find more convenient. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinMay 10, 2021
Here's my review as one of The Hwahae Testers: -------------------- Packaging & Container: The product came with a protective plastic seal on the lid that you had to remove. This meticulous packaging made me feel good from the moment I opened it. I was also satisfied that the dispensing hole wasn't too large, preventing any accidental spills. Texture, Application & Absorption: The product has a milky color and a texture that's a mix between a toner and an essence. It has a dense, bouncy consistency that made me wonder if it would work well as an exfoliating toner. Unlike water-based toners, just one application of this exfoliating toner gave an instant boost of hydration! As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I either let it absorb after one application or layered it once more. Either way, it never felt heavy on the skin and absorbed well, leaving my skin bouncy and moisturized. Hydration: It felt like it provided instant hydration. Using it as a toner mask for about 5 minutes and then letting the remaining product absorb made my skin feel incredibly plump! This made me think its hydrating power is superior to regular toners. Ingredients: With zero presence of 20 caution ingredients and potential allergens, what more can I say? I have super sensitive skin prone to blemishes when using products with harsh ingredients, but I experienced absolutely no irritation while using this product. Scent: I've used fragrance-free products before and was disappointed by their smell, but the scent of this product was quite pleasant! Container: While I was satisfied with the container's opening as mentioned earlier, the lid feels a bit flimsy. I'm worried it might break if I open or close it too forcefully... - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinMay 10, 2021
When I first started using it, for about 5 days, I suddenly got a bunch of blemishes! I thought, 'What's going on?!' But after using it for almost 2 weeks, the blemishes cleared up and my skin felt incredibly firm. The texture is much thicker than your typical runny formula, even more so than the Hatomugi skin toner. My deep dryness has significantly improved. I think this alone would be great for summer use :) While I received this product as a review winner, I definitely plan to repurchase it. You might experience some blemishes in the beginning. I was surprised when they appeared at first, but don't give up and keep applying it! As your skin stabilizes, it gets even better. I'm really pleased with it! It was great! Since it has a thick, runny texture, I applied it with a clean, flat foundation brush, which worked surprisingly well. I tried applying it with my hands too, but I recommend using a brush. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinMay 6, 2021
[!The Hwahae Testers Winner Review!] * Writer's skin type: Extremely dry skin that quickly becomes dehydrated even in summer if not kept moisturized. Unable to use skincare products with strong fragrances. * Overall product evaluation: As expected from its opaque color, it's a toner with a moisturizing and rich texture. While I'm not sure about its effectiveness as a cleansing toner, when absorbed into a gauze or cotton pad and placed on the skin, it provided hydration comparable to a sheet mask. It might be suitable for dry or normal skin types, but may feel a bit heavy for those with oily skin. * Texture: An essence-type toner. Initially, it felt somewhat heavy, but it finishes light and fresh on the skin. * Scent: There's a slight herbal scent, but it's not overpowering. A subtle, sweet floral fragrance lingers in the background. * Function: It doesn't seem to absorb well when applied immediately after cleansing, so it's better to use a light toner first, then apply this as an essence for better absorption. It adequately addresses deep dryness, and the generous amount allows for multiple layers, leaving even dry skin feeling hydrated. I haven't used it long enough to notice any significant drawbacks. I can't really think of any particular disappointments. If you soak a cotton pad with this toner and leave it on your skin overnight, you'll wake up to beautifully hydrated skin in the morning. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 5, 2021
Absorption: At first, it feels like it might sit on top of the skin, but it quickly absorbs with a perfect balance between a watery and gel-like texture! Scent: It's practically fragrance-free. Skin blemishes: As someone who deals with acne year-round, I didn't experience any breakouts or redness from this product. Instead, it had a soothing effect. Highly recommended! While I don't have any major complaints, those with very dry skin might find it a bit lacking even after applying 3-7 layers. I'd suggest using a suitable cream in addition to this. My routine: I use an exfoliating toner or do a toner mask first, then apply this skin for extra hydration, and finish with a cream to lock everything in! The combination of Torriden toner -> This essence -> SNature Squalane Moisturizing Cream works wonders! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 4, 2021
The Lessential Rhodiola Toner with rhodiola extract boosts skin's natural resilience! It's a functional toner that strengthens your skin barrier with each use. From the moment I opened it, I fell in love with its clear, transparent packaging. It's fragrance-free, with a dense essence-like texture that absorbs quickly. The hydration is deeply moisturizing and long-lasting. I love how well my makeup applies in the morning after using it. With its generous 500ml size, I highly recommend it for those who enjoy skin-packing or using it as an exfoliating toner (great value for money!). Being low-irritation (96% naturally derived ingredients), it suits even my sensitive skin perfectly for daily use. According to Hwahae's ingredient analysis, while most gentle products still contain at least one fragrance or preservative, the Lessential toner has zero. That's truly impressive! Though it's my first time trying this brand, I've noticed it already has a solid fan base. I think I'll be settling on Lessential as my daily toner from now on! I honestly can't think of any drawbacks. It's been a very satisfying daily product. I definitely plan to repurchase! Thanks to its large size, I use it worry-free for skin-packing or the 7-skin method! Here's a personal tip that some of you might already know: I pour some into an empty bottle and use it as a mist. It's perfect for those times when you're too lazy to apply body emulsion after a shower. It's also great to carry around as a mist substitute, providing instant hydration and soothing when your skin feels dry or needs quick relief. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinMay 1, 2021
The texture is not too thin, but slightly firm and bouncy. I felt it was a bit dry after one application, so I patted it in twice for better absorption. It felt a bit heavy to use with an emulsion, so I applied a moisturizer after letting it absorb fully, which was perfect. The scent is like a mild herbal fragrance, not too strong. I've been using it for 5 days now, and no blemishes have appeared. If I continue to use it without any skin issues, I'd definitely consider purchasing it! While the large size is great, the price in the 30,000 won range on Hwahae might be a bit steep for some... Also, it doesn't quite give the feeling of deep hydration that reaches the inner layers of the skin. Personally, I find it works well when I use a thinner layer and apply it twice after my exfoliating toner. In summer, I follow up with sunscreen and I'm good to go.
