While not as light as water, it feels refreshingly pleasant on the skin. The price is also fantastic - I got it on sale at Olive Young for just 13,500 won. Excellent value for money!
ConsThere's honestly nothing to complain about. It works wonderfully as both a toner pad and an exfoliating toner.
TipGenerously soak a thick cotton pad and gently wipe along the skin's texture for best results.

I have oily, somewhat sensitive skin that tends to break out in small bumps if a product doesn't suit me, but this one didn't cause any issues.
ConsIf I really had to pick something to improve... it stings a tiny bit when applying the toner after shaving. But honestly, that happens with most products post-shave, so I can't really call it a drawback.

I was hesitant about Japanese products, but after seeing positive reviews on YouTube, I decided to grab it during an Olive Young sale at a great price! First off, it's a refreshing, watery toner. It feels more like a gentle hydrating toner than an exfoliating one. Perhaps due to the low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, it leaves my skin incredibly hydrated after use. When I make toner pads for a mask, it feels wonderfully cool and moisturizing. The large volume is a plus, making it very convenient to use. I found it even better than the Dokdo toner!

TipWhile it's refreshing, it's also deeply hydrating. After using this, any serum applied next absorbs quickly, giving a nice boosting effect. When on sale, it's incredibly affordable. Layering it two or three times provides an amazing burst of hydration, making it excellent for replenishing moisture deep within the skin.

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 off, I have super sensitive skin that reacts to everything! Here's what I love: 1. It's incredibly gentle! My skin usually breaks out in tiny bumps with the slightest provocation, but this passed the test! 2. Being a water-based toner, it absorbs well and feels refreshing! 3. The hydration is fantastic, giving a feeling of deep moisturization. My makeup applies beautifully after using this! 4. When used as an exfoliating toner, it helps remove impurities and improves skin texture! I apply it with a cotton pad, which minimizes irritation - I'm very satisfied. 5. In conclusion, I definitely recommend it!
ConsI haven't found any downsides yet! I was worried about using up such a large bottle, but between using it as an exfoliating toner and for skin-soaking, I think it'll be gone before I know it.
TipHighly recommend as an exfoliating toner!

After applying, it feels so refreshing that you might wonder if you've just used a toner. It's great for use during hot summer days without feeling heavy on the skin.
ConsIt didn't lock in moisture as much as I expected. I applied it with a cotton pad, then reapplied and patted it in with my hands, but I couldn't really feel much hydration. I wouldn't recommend this for very dry skin types.

As someone who's been quite invested in skincare, I've tried various products that others rave about. Comparing this to other toners, here are its strengths: - It's refreshing: I was initially worried because Hada Labo's ads often show that sticky rice cake-like skin texture. Even after using it a few times, I expected it to leave a slippery film due to its hydrating properties. However, while it's not completely watery and has some slip, it absorbs comfortably without feeling heavy or suffocating, making it suitable for summer use. - It's moisturizing without being overwhelming: Given my preconceptions about the brand, I thought it might be too heavy for my combination skin, especially in summer. But thanks to its fresh finish, I could layer it multiple times without it feeling greasy. It kept my skin comfortable with no deep dryness or tightness. In fact, it was so non-drying that I could finish my skincare routine with just this product. - It has decent staying power: With my combination skin, I usually get oily after an hour or two post-skincare. Despite being light and fresh, this toner leaves a lasting hydration even after multiple layers have fully absorbed. - Simple packaging: The minimalist design without excessive packaging is both aesthetically pleasing and eco-friendly, producing less waste.
Cons- The bottle opening is a bit inconvenient. It's less of an issue when using cotton pads, but I often spill when dispensing into my hands. - While it didn't bother me, there's a slight scent that's reminiscent of saliva. It's not an aggressive fragrance, but those sensitive to scents might find it uncomfortable. To me, it was almost unscented.
Tip- It works well both as an exfoliating toner and for layering. - Interestingly, I thought it was a Japanese product, but it contains Jeju young barley extract. It seems it might be developed in Korea (though I could be wrong!).

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.ProsApplication: The watery, fluid texture has no stickiness but gives a feeling of refined and slightly smooth skin texture! Absorption: The small particles make it feel like it's being absorbed deeply into the skin! I've been having a lot of blemishes lately due to wearing masks, but there was no stinging or irritation while it was being absorbed. Moisturizing: After absorption, it finishes very refreshingly without feeling dry or tight. It leaves a moisturized feeling that's not sticky but has just the right amount of hydration! Recommended Skin Type: It's not as heavy as a cream toner, nor as light as an exfoliating toner, so it seems perfect for combination dehydrated skin to maintain inner hydration during summer! Overall, the user experience is very mild, so there weren't any dramatically noticeable improvement effects, but this seems to be its strength. I've been having blemishes on my forehead and cheeks lately, making my skin sensitive, but this didn't worsen the blemishes and I was able to use it gently without any irritation!
ConsThe container design was disappointing. It has a large volume and the formula is a sloshy water type, so when using it, it tends to pour out suddenly. There's also some dripping around the spout. While the large volume is nice, the container doesn't seem to be a good match for the formula.
TipThis would be great for those looking for a mild toner that's suitable for daily use! It's not a toner that leaves a refreshing finish by exfoliating dead skin cells, but rather one that fills in deep hydration. I highly recommend using it as an absorbing toner rather than an exfoliating toner!

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.ProsFirst off, the texture is neither too thin nor too light, giving a pleasantly refreshing feel. This made the next steps in my skincare routine feel less burdensome. I have extremely dry and super sensitive skin that gets irritated even with just water, but after using this, my skin had a bit of a glow the next day. Sometimes it looked as radiant as if I'd just had a professional facial at a salon!
ConsIt has a scent similar to department store cosmetics bases. If you're sensitive to fragrances like me, you might find it a bit challenging. Also, I didn't particularly feel like it was deeply hydrating. After using it as a toner, I didn't notice any significant increase in moisture.
TipI think it works well as an exfoliating toner. It seems to remove dirt effectively, making my skin feel clean. This gives me peace of mind when moving on to the next steps in my routine. It's not particularly hydrating, so rather than pouring it into your hands and patting it in, it's better to use it with a cotton pad for cleansing.

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.ProsReview from The Hwahae Testers: 1. Absorption: It has a similar texture to the Manyo Factory toner, which I love. It's not too watery, just the right consistency! It applies smoothly and feels hydrating. 2. Absorption: It absorbs beautifully without any stickiness, leaving the skin feeling fresh. 3. Feel: It feels gentle on the skin. There's no irritation, making it perfect for everyday use without any fuss. 4. Skin Type: I have extremely sensitive skin! I can't use just anything as my skin reacts easily and is quite delicate. I'm usually relieved if a new product doesn't cause a reaction. I've been using Isntree and Manyo Factory products well, and this is my first time trying Hada Labo. It's great with no irritation! I'm considering purchasing it with my own money.
ConsWhen I received the package, the lid was cracked. It doesn't affect the use of the product, so I'm still using it without issues.
TipThe hydration is so good that you could probably get away with just using this toner and a serum for a light skincare routine. Perfect for summer when you want to keep things light!

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.ProsIt's an honor to be chosen as a Hwahae Tester, and I've written this review with complete honesty. First off, the quantity is impressive! I've been using it generously morning and evening since I received it, and there's still plenty left. The texture is extremely light and watery, making it refreshingly easy to apply without any heaviness. No burden at all! As shown in the photo, I applied it with a cotton pad around my nose and on areas with small blemishes and whiteheads. It visibly improved my skin texture and had a calming effect, so I diligently used it with cotton pads throughout. I highly recommend this for combination dehydrated skin types with oily areas (especially T-zone and forehead) and those with small blemishes, whiteheads, or rough skin texture rather than large, inflamed acne. At first, it feels like it's gliding on the surface, but you can sense the toner being absorbed deep into the skin. Strongly recommended for combination dehydrated skin types - you must try it!
ConsThe watery texture makes it difficult to control the amount dispensed. When I first received it, I accidentally spilled some, so be careful with this. Also, because it's such a light formula, it feels like it evaporates quickly, so you need to reapply for hydration frequently. For me, with combination dehydrated but very oily skin, it was sufficient (not lacking at all!). However, for those with dry skin, it might not be enough to use on its own. Please keep this in mind when purchasing! There were no side effects or acne breakouts, and it's a very gentle formula, so these are really the only drawbacks.
TipI highly recommend mixing this toner with a spot treatment powder (I recommend Around Lab powder) in a mist bottle and shaking it up for frequent application. This works great for both oily and dry skin types! Especially for those with very oily skin like me, using a cotton pad to wipe it over your T-zone or forehead really helps remove excess oil. If you're sensitive to oil-absorbing powders or blotting papers, try this method to control oil instead! It's non-irritating and very gentle. (I actually use this method because I have sensitive skin that reacts to oil-absorbing powders and papers.) Make sure to apply it generously! It's a product you can use lightly, and because it's so gentle, it's also great for toner masking.
