Fortunately, this product's fragrance wasn't off-putting at all - I really liked it. Texture: The consistency is less sticky than an essence but has more viscosity than a watery toner. When I used a cotton pad to apply it and refine my skin texture, it felt incredibly refreshing yet moisturizing! I was very satisfied! Experience: My skin type is combination dehydrated with an oily T-zone. My skin is quite sensitive to weather changes, and during the testing period, we experienced significant weather fluctuations. On rainy, humid days, I noticed some excess oil production, so I used more toner on a cotton pad to wipe it off. While it didn't dry out my skin, there was still some oiliness. On sunny days, it felt wonderfully refreshing. Overall, this product really helps create a solid base before applying makeup.
ConsI don't have any particular complaints! I did think it might be nice if the bottle cap was a bit shorter. The container makes the product look like there's less than there actually is, but there's plenty of product inside!
TipI tried using it as a mask by soaking cotton pads and placing them on my cheeks - it left my skin incredibly hydrated!

I'm so grateful for this gem with such amazing ingredients! The Hwahae Testers really outdid themselves this time. * No artificial fragrances, just a subtle woody scent from natural sandalwood oil. Honestly, after cleansing with this product, I'm so satisfied I don't even want to use any other skincare products. (Totally subjective, of course!) * Couldn't find a trace of irritation. It's even free from common PEG (polyethylene glycol). You won't see the usual preservatives like phenoxyethanol or parabens either. (Those make me itchy!) * The hydration is outstanding. It doesn't evaporate quickly and seems to lock in moisture well. P.S. It's so precious, I can barely bring myself to use it! The scent is absolutely divine - I'm in love! (Side note) Lately, it feels like Nature Republic has been really focusing on quality ingredients in their new releases. It's so exciting and encouraging. Here's hoping for even more fantastic products in the future!
ConsTo be honest, the only potential downside I can think of... well, it's not really an issue for me personally, but those who dislike any stickiness might find it slightly bothersome. It's easily manageable though.
TipThis toner is fantastic for hydration and moisture, so I highly recommend using it for a toner mask routine. It feels like your skin is drinking up a nourishing tonic!

Looks like my eyes had a momentary glitch. The scent isn't overpowering, and when applied, there's no rash or itching. So unless you're allergic to chamomile, it should work well for most people.
ConsBefore trying it, I thought it was a completely watery toner, but upon use, it's more like water with a few drops of oil - a toner with a slight viscosity. While some might really enjoy this texture, personally, it's a bit of a letdown. The weather hasn't turned completely cold yet, so the slightly sticky finish isn't to my liking. To be honest, the texture itself is fine, but my skin tends to react when covered with even slightly viscous toners. Especially these days with mask-wearing, skincare can be challenging. Of course, it doesn't form a layer on the skin like cream skin products do, so it might work well as a first essence in winter, giving a feeling of firmness from within. I plan to try it again in winter. Those with dry skin might really love this...
TipDuring seasonal changes, I'd suggest using this toner only in the evening, then switching to both morning and night use in winter.

ConsGiven its slightly viscous texture, it might work better as a hydrating toner rather than an exfoliating one
TipFor an extra boost of hydration, try layering it

The absorption was smooth! It didn't take long to absorb either. It absorbs well enough that it doesn't interfere with the next skincare products at all. - The scent isn't too strong, and it's not a chamomile fragrance! - Rather than being a completely watery texture, it has a slight viscosity. It doesn't seem to evaporate quickly, giving the impression that the ingredients are being well-delivered, which I particularly liked. - The transparent packaging makes it easy to check how much product is left, and the long cap makes it convenient to open and close.
ConsLike other reviews mentioned, there is a bit of stickiness. Personally, I wasn't too bothered by it, but those with super sensitive skin might find it slightly noticeable.
TipAfter cleansing, instead of wiping with a towel, let your skin air dry a bit. Using it as an exfoliating toner at this point seems to be good for hydration as well.

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.ProsFirst, let me describe my skin type: I have combination dehydrated skin with blemishes in the T-zone and dry cheeks! ✔️Ingredients Since my skin is prone to blemishes, I always check the ingredients first when choosing products. I was pleased to find that this product uses natural fragrances, and all the ingredients are gentle and beneficial. ✔️Texture At first glance, I thought it would be a watery toner. But when I actually used it, I found it has a slightly thicker consistency, more like a runny gel. It's not overly sticky though! I think it would be perfect for use in fall and winter when you need that extra hydration :) ✔️Scent The scent is very subtle, almost fragrance-free. ✔️Moisturizing and Hydration It contains great ingredients for skin hydration, so when I apply it to my face, it feels moisturizing and seems to address deep dryness! ✔️Makeup Application No matter how good a product is, if it causes my makeup to pill or look patchy, I tend to stop using it. But this product allows makeup to adhere smoothly without any pilling!
Cons✔️Not recommended for oily skin Due to its runny gel texture and moisturizing properties, this product might be more suitable for combination or dry skin types rather than oily skin. ✔️Soothing effect Perhaps because it's more focused on hydration, I didn't notice a significant soothing effect 😭
TipThe runny gel texture seems to work better with cotton pads rather than as an exfoliating toner! Also, I always store my toners in the refrigerator to help reduce skin heat when applying!

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.ProsAs someone in their 20s transitioning from oily to combination skin, I've been dealing with blemishes on my chin due to health issues lately. Here's what I liked: 1. Scent: As someone who absolutely despises artificial and strong fragrances, this was quite nice. My mom said it was almost scentless, but being sensitive to smells, I detected a subtle chamomile flower scent. It wasn't overpowering and had a natural fragrance, which I appreciated. 2. Texture: It's closer to a watery consistency, I'd say about 75% water to 25% viscous texture. It doesn't drip excessively, making it perfect for use with cotton pads. I was satisfied with this texture. 3. Application: It applies and finishes with a nice, bouncy feel. When used as a toner pack, it gives a sensation of layering hydration onto the skin, which I enjoyed. 4. Moisturizing power: Personally, I dislike the lackluster hydration of regular water-based toners. This toner, however, feels like it's packing moisture into the skin. In summer, I found it sufficient to finish with just a toner pack instead of using an emulsion or essence for hydration.
Cons1. Absorption: It doesn't absorb well, leaving a slippery layer like oil on the skin. I was disappointed that it takes too long to absorb. 2. Volume: The amount is too small for the price. My mom and I have been using it together, and we're already running out!
TipThis toner seems designed for use as a toner pack with cotton pads! I tried applying it with my hands, but it doesn't absorb well that way. The volume is too small to use it as an exfoliating toner. Since it's a hydrating toner with a bouncy texture, I recommend using it as a toner pack!

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.ProsThis review is based on my experience as a Hwahae Tester. First off, I was lucky enough to be selected to try this product, and I can say with 100% certainty that I would buy this toner again with my own money. [I used it twice daily, morning and evening] 1. While I'm not entirely familiar with the scent of chamomile, the fragrance of this toner is subtle, gentle, and not overpowering, making it very pleasant to use. 2. True to its name as a calming toner, it caused absolutely no irritation to my sensitive skin. I typically struggle with small bumps and summer-prone skin that's prone to blemishes, but while using this, my skin either improved or at the very least, didn't worsen or become irritated at all. 3. Lastly, the texture is just right - not too thick or sticky, but not too watery either. It's perfect for both wiping on with a cotton pad or patting directly into the skin. I prefer to pat it in, and I love that it doesn't drip or run. In conclusion, I'm extremely satisfied with this product. It's made me take a second look at Nature Republic's offerings! I definitely plan to repurchase when I run out, and I'm eager to try other products from the line as well.
ConsThere's honestly nothing I disliked about this product. Even the cap is well-designed, making it very easy to open and close.
TipAs someone with combination, blemish-prone, and super sensitive skin (so sensitive that even cotton pads can irritate it), I used to use Hada Labo. When I won this product in an event, it was perfect timing as I had just finished my Hada Labo toner. I found that patting this toner into my skin works wonderfully. It's hydrating, absorbs well, and causes less irritation! As you can see from the photos, my skin has improved significantly. I highly recommend it!

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's a review from The Hwahae Testers: - Scent: It has a mild, pleasant fragrance typical of cosmetics. Not overpowering at all, so it's unlikely to be divisive! - Texture: It has a slightly viscous consistency. Unlike watery toners, this one doesn't leave your face feeling dry after application, which is great! - Quantity: I initially thought it was a small amount, but even after using it for daily mask routines and morning/evening skincare for about a week, I was surprised by how much was left!
Cons- The slightly viscous texture might feel a bit heavy and sticky for those with oily skin. - It felt a bit too rich for summer use. - It doesn't absorb well, so you need to pat it into your skin for quite a while. - Looking at the ingredients, it contains a lot of purified water, so it might be best used just to prevent skin from feeling dry.
TipI think you could use this product as a toner mask for about 5 minutes, then wipe it off with a watery toner. This way, you can avoid the stickiness while still keeping your skin deeply hydrated!

Usually, I can't use skincare products with strong fragrances, and most toners tend to be quite fragrant, right? But I absolutely loved the scent of this product. It didn't have any irritating smell at all. Instead, it had a natural scent that felt familiar somehow. As someone with super sensitive skin who typically only uses baby product lines, I was pleased that this product didn't cause any tingling or irritation when applied. That alone shows how good the ingredients are! After using it for a few days, I didn't experience any blemishes or other skin issues. The texture is very thin, almost like water! You can tell they really prioritized eco-friendliness in the packaging - instead of bubble wrap, they used environmentally friendly paper and even printed with soybean oil-based ink.
ConsI didn't really have any complaints! However, if you're used to thicker toners, you might find this watery texture runs too easily. There's also a slight stickiness after application.
TipThe stickiness mostly disappears once you apply your emulsion!
