The scent is so subtle it's practically undetectable, making it ideal for those with fragrance sensitivities. The toner's consistency is slightly more viscous than water, with a smooth, slippery feel. There's barely any oily sensation - it feels like 90% hydration and 10% oil, just enough to lock in moisture. The lightweight formula allows for easy layering 2-3 times without feeling heavy or causing makeup to pill. Instead, it brings out a beautiful Inner Glow.
ConsWhile there weren't any major drawbacks, if I had to nitpick, the bottle opening is a bit narrow, making it slightly inconvenient to dispense like a typical skin toner. A dropper-style applicator might have been more convenient.
TipIt seems better suited for layering and absorption rather than as an exfoliating toner. For added convenience, consider transferring it to a dropper bottle from a discount store. It's refreshing to find a decent cosmetic product after being a skincare nomad for so long.

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.ProsWhen I first received it, I was a bit worried that it might feel heavy or sticky as a first step in my skincare routine, given it's an essence toner with some viscosity. However, when I applied it, I didn't feel any stickiness or heaviness at all! The texture was surprisingly refreshing and it absorbed quickly. I think this would be great for those who want a moisturizing toner but dislike heavy textures. Even though my skin condition is generally good, I always seem to have at least one big blemish, and I'm the type who immediately feels it when a product doesn't suit me - my face gets red or my skin rejects it during skincare. But I was able to use this without frequent breakouts or any sense of incompatibility, which was great! It also seems to manage deep dryness well, and perhaps because it's alcohol-free, there's much less irritation. I think this would be perfect for those who want more hydration than a water toner in their first skincare step, but don't like heavy textures!! I also loved the clean, transparent packaging that gives a refreshing feel.
ConsSince I tend to apply multiple layers of toner, I found the volume a bit disappointing. I wish it came in a larger size, and if the opening where the toner comes out was a bit bigger, it would be easier to use. Because it has some viscosity, when I tried to use it with a cotton pad, only a small amount came out, which was a bit frustrating. I don't often use exfoliating toners, but I use them occasionally, and I think it would be better if that aspect was improved! Also, those looking for blemish improvement or dead skin cells/texture improvement might be disappointed. Apart from the moisturizing effect, it's a pretty standard product, so it's best not to expect much beyond hydration...
TipWhen I do my skincare routine, I try to layer several light, watery products at the beginning, and use creams or more moisturizing products at the end to lock in the hydration. This toner felt perfect for that approach! It's thinner than an ampoule but more moisturizing than a typical toner, so I apply 3-4 layers, letting each absorb. Then I apply a hydrating ampoule all over, with an extra layer on drier areas like around the nose, mouth, and cheeks. Finally, I lock it all in with a moisturizing cream - it's the perfect nighttime routine... For those worried about oiliness due to makeup or blemishes, I recommend applying a lightweight hydrating serum with blemish-fighting properties, followed by an oil-free moisturizer!

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 my review after using the product for about a week: ✔️Skin type: Dry ✔ Texture: Feels like 70% watery toner, 30% essence -> While it's fluid enough to flow when tilted, it's not completely watery like some toners. As a result, it doesn't feel too light on the skin when applied. ✔️ Feel: More like a water essence than a toner. Layering it multiple times really builds up the hydration. It felt less drying and the moisture didn't evaporate as quickly as with watery toners. ✔️ Absorption: Despite appearances, it felt quite hydrating on the skin. When layered multiple times, it had a nice 'cling' to the skin. ✔️ What I liked: Fragrance-free! True to its alcohol-free claim, it's genuinely unscented, which I appreciate. Being pregnant, I'm careful about ingredients and scents. This toner is non-irritating, hydrating, and fragrance-free, which I love. It's especially convenient during pregnancy when I'm often too tired to do a full routine - I can just layer this a few times for a quick moisture boost.
ConsEverything's fine except the opening is too small... If it were a watery toner, it would probably come out easily, but this dispenses in tiny drops, which is frustrating. A pump dispenser would have been better.
TipLayering it multiple times builds up hydration nicely, so it's good to apply several layers.

Previously, I used a hydrating toner + calming essence + moisturizing cream. With this product, I simplified my routine to just the Mucin Essence Toner + moisturizing cream. Surprisingly, this streamlined approach worked wonders! The texture is quite rich for an essence toner, likely due to the yam extract. It has a satisfyingly thick consistency. The hydration is impressive - the hyaluronic acid effectively combats deep dryness. Being alcohol-free, it maintains moisture well without dehydrating the skin. It's excellent for soothing and calming the skin. It noticeably reduced redness from irritated blemishes and lowered skin temperature, making my complexion feel more comfortable overall.
ConsThe high viscosity of the essence means it dispenses slowly drop by drop, which can be a bit frustrating. However, overall it's a highly satisfying toner.

Use it as the first step after cleansing, and you'll wake up without any dryness! Gentle ingredients with no irritation - Alcohol-free and fragrance-free, it's less likely to irritate sensitive skin. You can use it comfortably without worrying about blemishes. Quick absorption - Despite its viscosity, it absorbs into the skin without stickiness when patted in. It blends well with subsequent skincare steps. Vegan & Clean Beauty - Not only good for your skin but also environmentally conscious. You can use it with peace of mind knowing it contains ethical ingredients.
ConsNote: While it offers strong hydration, those who prefer a lighter feel might find it a bit heavy.
TipI use it as the first step in my nighttime skincare routine. For daytime, I lightly layer it before makeup. It refines skin texture and helps base products adhere better!

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.ProsEntering my 30s, the most noticeable change was deep dryness! Simply applying more product didn't address my skin's dehydration, so I kept purchasing and trying different moisturizing products. However, I couldn't achieve dramatic results like significantly reduced dryness or improved skin texture. After many failed attempts, I realized the importance of properly applying the first hydrating steps - toner or serum. While my naturally dry skin type plays a role, I discovered that randomly adding moisture wasn't the solution. This B.green Mucin Toner, being alcohol-free, feels incredibly gentle and instantly hydrates the skin! I personally experienced a cooling effect, though this might vary. Although absorption is a bit slow, once it's fully absorbed, it leaves the skin feeling wonderfully soft! I was intrigued by the toner's unique texture - it looks like it contains tiny air bubbles, giving it an interesting appearance!
ConsThe volume seems smaller than expected, so it might run out quickly. Also, it's a bit frustrating that the product doesn't dispense easily.

The scent is almost undetectable, making it a safe, versatile choice. However, it doesn't seem to have any specific skin-enhancing effects. I use it for tapping application, but this product feels more suited for absorption than the tapping method.
ConsThe amount dispensed is frustratingly small, which was disappointing. Although it's called a toner, it feels more like an essence. It only seems to absorb into the skin, which made it slightly inconvenient to use.
TipIt might work best if used at the essence stage after applying a sheet mask soaked in liquid toner!

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.ProsTo be honest, I didn't expect much from this toner, but from the first use, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it felt, which made me reconsider this brand. - Texture, absorption, and application: For me, it has a consistency between water and mucus - if I had to compare, it feels like smooth saline solution? I have dry skin, so usually when I apply a water-based toner after cleansing, I feel dry even before applying the next product. However, this toner has just the right texture and hydration level - it doesn't evaporate quickly, nor is it too rich for the next step. It feels perfect for its purpose. When absorbed, there's almost no oily feeling, just the right amount of hydration that fills the skin well! - Scent: It's unscented, which I absolutely love. - Recommended skin type: As it's a hydration-focused toner, I think it would work well not only for dry skin but also for oily skin types. - Packaging: I like the clean, lightweight bottle without any unnecessary frills. The packaging box is made from sugarcane residue paper and is biodegradable. It even has Braille on it (though I'm not sure about its effectiveness). This made me appreciate the Be Green brand even more.
ConsThe reason for 4 stars... While the feel and satisfaction are 5 points, the price per volume feels a bit burdensome for a toner. Also, when dispensing, it comes out in big drops. I personally prefer this to a continuous stream, but some people might find it frustrating.
TipAfter cleansing, I pat my skin until it's about 80-90% dry, then apply the toner. +Update after a month of use: I find myself reaching for this toner often. Now that the temperature is rising, it's great for mixing with creams that I want to make a bit lighter! It blends well and is perfect for adding just a bit more hydration.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsHello! I'm grateful to have been selected as a Hwahae Tester, and I'm writing this review after using the product for about 2 weeks. First, my skin type is [extremely dry + sensitive]. My skin barrier easily breaks down, so in winter, no matter how many layers I apply, my face feels painfully dry. I also have sensitive skin that develops blemishes immediately or the next day if I use products with incompatible ingredients. Additionally, I have thin skin where you can see the blood vessels. 🌼 Container - Plastic The plastic container is lightweight and not too big, making it portable. There's no risk of breaking, and although it's not a pump, the product comes out easily through the opening. It's easy to control the amount, which is great. 🌼 Texture - Viscous, runny consistency It's closer to a runny consistency rather than a watery toner. People with dry skin will likely be satisfied with its moisturizing power and hydration. However, I felt that while it's hydrating at first, it finishes with a rich feel, and over time it seemed to become even oilier. Therefore, those with oily skin might find it a bit heavy! 🌼 Absorption - Above average I felt it absorbed quite quickly when applied! Usually, viscous toners tend to absorb slower or leave residue compared to watery ones, but this toner absorbed fairly quickly. However, due to its good moisturizing power, there is a slight residue. It's not sticky, but more... tacky? It doesn't finish powdery, but leaves a moisturized feel. 🌼 Hydration & Moisturization - High It's very hydrating! I tend to use it as a hydrating toner rather than an exfoliating one, and when applied directly to the face, I felt an explosion of hydration. Perhaps due to the 'yam' ingredient, the texture felt dense and elastic. So the moisturizing power is good too! 🌼 Barrier Strengthening & Soothing Effect - Low The main reason I applied for this Hwahae Tester opportunity was for its soothing function, but I didn't see much soothing effect. Despite my extremely dry skin, while I was quite satisfied with the hydration and moisturization, I didn't see any soothing effect at all. My skin barrier was compromised, but I didn't see any barrier strengthening effect either.
Cons🫧 Soothing effect Recently my skin has become very sensitive, feeling stinging even when applying just toner, and I felt the same stinging with the Mucin Toner. If anything, it felt a bit suffocating due to its richness, and I saw signs of blemishes the next day, so I alternated between stopping and using it. Since the Mucin Toner already provides sufficient hydration and richness, I recommend following up with less rich formulas for the rest of your skincare routine! 🫧 Deep dryness As I have extremely dry skin with severe deep dryness, I usually apply toners and ampoules meticulously, but the Mucin Toner alone wasn't enough to address my deep dryness. Even on the first day, after layering it two to three times, followed by ampoule-serum-emulsion-cream, I didn't feel much improvement in my deep dryness. 🫧 Rich feel Due to my very dry skin, I usually prefer toners with a viscous texture over watery ones. However, even so, the Mucin Toner felt richer than most toners I've used before. So it might feel a bit heavy for those with oily skin! 🫧 Overall impression Despite the gentle ingredients, it didn't seem to suit my skin very well. While it was certainly moisturizing and hydrating, strangely, it felt like oil was rising to the surface of my face over time, giving me a feeling of clogged pores. So, although I usually layer toner multiple times, I only applied the Mucin Toner once (except for the first day) because I was worried about potential blemishes. Even if the ingredients are good, they might not suit everyone, so make sure to test it before use! There was no soothing effect for me at all, and it felt suffocating, making me worry about blemishes, so I deducted one star. It's disappointing. However, for those whose skin agrees with the ingredients, it might make your skin soft and good for strengthening the skin barrier!
