Application: The toner isn't slippery or too liquid-like, which makes it convenient to use. It has a slight viscosity but absorbs well without any stickiness! Fragrance-free: While some products claim to be fragrance-free but still have a subtle medicinal scent, this one truly lives up to its claim! It was easy to apply without any artificial fragrances.
ConsI prefer toners with pump or dropper styles, so using one with a screw-top lid was a bit inconvenient. However, the formula isn't too runny, so it doesn't drip everywhere, which made it manageable.
TipIt's free from irritating fragrances or ingredients that might cause blemishes, and it's gentle enough for daily use! It's great to use right after cleansing or before applying makeup.

I think even those with super sensitive skin can use this without worry. Naturally, it's fragrance-free, which made me feel comfortable applying it as someone who's cautious about scents. ✔️ Hydration: It's perfectly suited as the first essence toner right after washing your face. When I let it absorb before applying other base products, my skin felt comfortable without any deep dryness. After absorption, the hydration level was just right, without any stickiness.
Cons✔️ Absorption: The consistency is as thin as a regular toner, but it doesn't absorb quickly into the skin. When you apply it, it feels like it's sitting on top of the skin (see photo). You need to gently pat or roll it in to help with absorption.
TipApplying this immediately after washing your face as the first step keeps your skin feeling comfortable until you move on to the next skincare steps.

Cons토너하고 흡수력이 좋아서 그런지 다음 단계인 로션이나 크림을 빨리 발라주는게 좋아요 파워지성에 수부지라서 전 괜찮았지만 건성분들은 조금 가볍다느낄수있을듯해요
Tip한번 골고루 닦토하듯 바르고 볼 이마는 한번 더 얇게 펴바르면 정말 편안하고 피부도 가볍고 숨쉬는듯해요

This product, being an alcohol-free toner, was a great match for my skin! It didn't cause any flare-ups and felt very comfortable to use. The 150ml size seems just right - not too little, not too much. I have combination dehydrated skin, so I focus on deep hydration and often layer my toner multiple times. The panthenol in this formula should also help strengthen the skin barrier.
ConsI didn't really find any drawbacks! However, personally, I think it would be more convenient if it had a pump dispenser instead of a screw-top lid.
TipThis toner seems to be a great option for those with sensitive or reactive skin types. Its gentle, alcohol-free formula and inclusion of barrier-supporting ingredients like panthenol make it suitable for daily use, even for those prone to irritation. The fragrance-free aspect is also a plus for sensitive skin. For those who enjoy the Korean skincare trend of "skin layering," this toner's hydrating properties make it ideal for that purpose.

Texture True to its essence toner nature, it has a noticeable viscosity. You can even see the bubbles in the bottle, which hints at its consistency, right? Haha! While it's not as runny as other toners, it's still easy to apply. 2. Absorption Heavy toners usually take some time to absorb, and the Mucin Toner was similar in this regard. It wasn't particularly bothersome though. 3. Hydration & Moisture Retention As expected from an essence toner, it's packed with hydration! To be more precise, should we call it a "moisture fullness"? Usually, if I only apply toner and skip the next steps, my skin quickly becomes dry. But with the Mucin Essence Toner, even after 10 minutes of doing other things, my skin didn't feel tight. Instead of giving a light, watery hydration boost, it provides a more substantial, comforting feeling. 4. Finish Surprisingly, there's a slight drawback - it leaves a somewhat velvety finish. I think it's due to its viscosity. Since it's not a cream and I'll be applying something else afterward, it didn't bother me much. But it did feel a bit unfamiliar at first. 5. Scent I appreciated that it's unscented or has a very subtle, natural fragrance. I'm not a fan of overpowering scents.
ConsThe finish and... perhaps its seasonal suitability? I think it would be great for winter use!

This product exceeded my expectations! It's not overly watery, provides deep hydration without feeling sticky, and is alcohol-free - I'm thoroughly impressed. The texture is like a very light essence that absorbs quickly without any stickiness. It feels weightless on the skin, sinking in effortlessly and leaving my complexion feeling soothed. I was delighted to notice an immediate relief from deep dryness after application. The fragrance is practically non-existent, which is perfect for my sensitive nose - no irritation whatsoever. Being alcohol-free, it's gentle on my skin, and the calming, moisturizing ingredients work wonders for my acne-prone complexion. I even checked it on an ingredient analysis app, and it came up clean with no harmful components, giving me peace of mind. In terms of value, it's quite affordable for the quantity you get. I can confidently recommend this to anyone with super sensitive skin looking for a hydrating toner that won't break the bank.
ConsDue to its gentle nature, those who prefer cooling products for summer might find it doesn't meet their needs.

Cons❌ 아쉬운 점 -흡수가 느릴 수 있음 제형이 쫀득하다 보니 빠르게 스며들기보다는 손으로 톡톡 두드려줘야 흡수돼요. 급하게 바를 때는 답답하게 느껴질 수도 있어요 -지성 피부에는 무거울 수 있음 유분기가 없는 대신 보습감이 꽤 진해서, 여름철 지성 피부에겐 다소 무겁게 느껴질 수도 있어요

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.ProsMy first impression was the simplicity of the packaging. I appreciated its no-frills approach, and the design seemed to consider easy recycling, suggesting some thought was given to environmental impact. True to its name as an "essence toner," the texture had a slight viscosity. However, it still had a fluid consistency that absorbed quickly into the skin. When applied, I didn't experience any irritation - it felt quite comfortable on my skin. I was pleasantly surprised to find it completely fragrance-free, which I discovered after checking the product description. This was definitely a plus for me! As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I think this product would suit most skin types well, unless you have extremely dry skin.
ConsGiven that "essence" is part of the product name, those with dry skin might find the thin consistency a bit disappointing. It may not provide enough hydration for their needs.

This toner hits the sweet spot between an essence and a toner with its mucin-like texture - that's a big plus for me. I'm also thrilled it's alcohol-free and fragrance-free. Thanks to the mucin, I suspect, it provides rich hydration and a soothing, moisturizing feel that I really appreciate. While its viscosity means it absorbs a tad slower, I still think this is a top-notch toner that can hold its own against any competitor. After meticulously monitoring my skin for a week of use, I didn't notice even a hint of blemishes, and my skin felt incredibly comfortable. I'm definitely willing to purchase this with my own money. The Hwahae Testers system is fantastic, and I'm so glad to have discovered this great product. It's my first time trying a B-green item, and I hope they continue to thrive while maintaining their eco-friendly concept.
ConsThere wasn't really anything I disliked, but as a toner enthusiast, I found the quantity a bit small. I'll likely go through one bottle per month. It would be great if they offered a 500ml size.
TipI keep it in the bathroom and apply it twice using the patting method immediately after cleansing.

However, it's not sticky at all. The moment it touches your skin, you'll feel it absorbing quickly while comfortably enveloping your face. It absorbs well into the skin, and even with multiple layers, there's no pilling or heavy feeling. Being an alcohol-free formula, it's definitely non-irritating. Even on sensitive skin right after cleansing, it feels gentle and soothing without any tingling sensation. Thanks to the mucin ingredient, it seems to lock in deep hydration effectively! My skin texture became noticeably smoother, and I even felt like my blemish marks were fading. The clean ingredient list, focused on naturally-derived components, inspires confidence. It also contains fewer potential allergens. You can easily layer it 2-3 times without any stickiness or pilling, and each layer seems to refine the skin texture further, making it feel even softer. Just a light application helps combat deep dryness while keeping the skin's surface moisturized. It's particularly effective at maintaining stable hydration in dry environments like winter or air-conditioned rooms.
ConsThe level of moisturization might feel slightly heavy for those with very oily skin. It may be more suitable for evening routines rather than daytime use in summer. There's a slight scent characteristic of mucin, which might not appeal to those sensitive to fragrances. (Though it dissipates quickly.)
