I'm incredibly satisfied! My skin is prone to redness, sensitive to blemishes, and tends to be dry. Even though I've only been using it for about two weeks, I can feel my skin becoming more stable day by day! If I had known it would be this good, I would have backed multiple units during the campaign!
ConsThere's nothing disappointing about the product itself. However, the container is a bit inconvenient. I wish it came in a pump bottle! They did provide a bubble maker, which I'm using, but it would be great if the original container itself was a pump bottle. I could use the bubble maker when needed and the pump for regular use.
TipPersonally, I usually layer it on once or twice for everyday use, and when I want a deeper treatment, I use it with the bubble maker!

It's very oily and prone to dryness, but with just one application of this cream, I can go for two days without washing my face and still stay hydrated. And since it's in a liquid form, it's easy to apply! I don't recommend using cotton pads though.
ConsThe disappointing part is that I didn't see much of a calming effect. Rather than a calming effect, it was gentle enough that small pimples didn't spread, and while there wasn't a major effect, it did help small pimples gradually disappear.
TipIf you apply it while your skin is still damp, it works even better, and even after your skin dries, it still keeps it moisturized.

After using it morning and evening for about a week, the dryness and tightness were almost gone. The hyaluronic acid ingredient seems to deliver moisture well. However, if you have an aversion to the slightly sticky feeling, it may be difficult to use. It doesn't feel sticky once absorbed into the face, but the initial viscosity may be divisive. As someone with acne-prone skin, I'm a bit particular about the skincare products I use. This product contains centella extract and cica ingredients, but it doesn't seem to control oil very well. Especially in the oily areas, I still tend to get breakouts. I think the centella extract just doesn't agree with my skin, causing those symptoms. Also, while it's labeled as a dual-function whitening and anti-aging product, I can't say the effects are outstanding. There are other better products out there for those purposes.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing to see blemishes gradually coming back. If not for that, this toner would have been perfect, especially for the transitional fall season.
TipI'd recommend using this as a wipe-off toner rather than just applying it with your hands. The slight glow it gives is quite pretty when used as a base before makeup.

In addition to having all good ingredients, as I have an extremely sensitive skin type where even one harmful ingredient can turn my whole face upside down, I didn't have any breakouts at all for several days! I also recommend this to those with sensitive skin. Can you see in the picture how my skin has become clearer?!!!! I'm so happy that my skin has become clearer! I have dry skin, but even as time passed, there was no tightness at all, and my skin became brighter and more supple haha. I really love everything about it, so I'm going to stick with this toner and use it exclusively.
ConsThe toner doesn't come out well. It comes out in tiny drips, so I have to flip it over and tap it hard to get it to come out ㅠㅠ. When it comes out, it also produces a little bit of foam, which is annoying, but there's no problem using it. Aside from that, this was a really satisfying toner! Except for that, it's so good that I don't have any other problems!

The ingredients are so good that there is no irritation at all, and it is so mild that it is very comfortable to apply. As it is an essence type, it applies smoothly and absorbs quickly, which also helps with dryness to some extent. After cleansing, just applying this alone gives a satisfying feeling, much more than other toners. The fragrance is not too strong and is subtle, so I think it's a product that anyone can use comfortably! The ingredients, application, moisturizing, and fragrance are all satisfactory.
ConsThe only downside is that the price seems a bit high compared to the volume.
TipEven if you apply this product multiple times, it does not become oily or sticky without additional serum or cream. Since the ingredients are so good, I think it would also be great as a pack.

The texture is a bit thicker than regular cleansing waters, but not so thick that it's difficult to apply. It glides on smoothly and doesn't require too much effort to spread it around. And it absorbs really well, so you don't need to use a lot to get good coverage. The moisture level is pretty good too. When I wake up in the morning, I don't see as much flaky skin (?) or anything like that, so it seems to do a decent job. The size is huge - it's a huge amount, which is just amazing. As for soothing the skin and caring for blemishes, I'm not sure if it's because the 83% centella extract replaces the regular water, but during my stressful exam period, the blemishes that were supposed to pop up didn't really show up. I'm not sure about the soothing effect, but it seems to have a preventative effect.
ConsHmm, I'm not sure if it's because the opening is narrow or because the texture is thick, but it doesn't come out very easily... I have to really put some force behind it and kind of squeeze it out, which is a bit of a hassle.
TipThey say to use this as the first step after cleansing, but I find it works even better if you do a quick wipe-down with a light water-based toner first.

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.ProsThe texture is a medium between a water-based skin and an essence. While it may seem challenging for dry skin, for oily skin, this could be used alone instead of a skin and essence. The highly concentrated formula is noticeable. As a combination skin type, I did not feel significant dryness when using this alone. The absorption requires a bit more patting compared to a regular skin, but it seems to absorb faster on dry skin. For me, after applying and patting 2-3 times, it was fully absorbed. I appreciated that there was no particular fragrance. I prefer unscented over any unpleasant scents. Without any specific skin concerns, I'm not sure about the soothing benefits, but the highly concentrated formula seems like it would be helpful. The packaging is typical of a skin, where only the amount I dispense comes out, so there was no inconvenience in use, and the not-too-thin texture made it easy to control.
ConsAs this is an essence toner, the absorption is slightly slower than a regular skin, but that seems understandable, and there were no other disappointing or inconvenient aspects.
TipIf applied not immediately after cleansing but after a few tens of seconds, the absorption becomes faster when the skin is a bit drier.

Although it's not a watery formula, but rather a viscous essence toner, it didn't feel sticky at all. In fact, it felt like my skin absorbed more moisture compared to a water-based formula, which was perfect for my dehydrated skin.
ConsThe brand was slightly unfamiliar to me, so it was a bit of a shame that I hadn't tried it before (good things should be discovered sooner!)
TipAfter cleansing, you can soak a thin cotton pad with the toner and use it as a toner pack. This will help maximize the moisturizing and skin-soothing benefits.

It seemed to help with the inner dryness, and I could apply sunscreen directly on top without it pilling. The fragrance is very faint and unobtrusive. Even though it's the transitional season and my skin is starting to get dry, my face has not experienced any dryness at all - only my hands feel dry. Despite just using the essence, my skin feels remarkably hydrated.
ConsI have acne-prone skin, but there wasn't any noticeable calming effect. The photo you see is from October 6th, where I'm wearing a light green pajama set. It's difficult to see significant results in just 2 weeks, so I'll need to use it more consistently. But for now, there hasn't been any visible short-term effect. I'll revisit this in a couple months and make adjustments then. Other than that, there's nothing lacking in terms of the texture or hydration.
TipSince it has a runny, watery essence texture, it's better to apply it by gently patting and layering it on, rather than wiping it on, to better address the inner dryness.

I have acne-prone skin, so I'm always afraid of using toners as they can sometimes cause breakouts. But this product didn't cause any trouble at all. Even when there's some residue left on the skin, it doesn't lead to breakouts. I used to always wipe my face with a water toner, but with this product, I was able to use it without cotton pads and still didn't experience any issues! The usage experience is really clean. Normally, toners can leave a slightly sticky feeling, but this one just gets absorbed into the skin and provides hydration. When I want to give my skin a break, I can just use this alone, and it seems to be enough. When doing my makeup, I can just apply this and then a lotion or moisturizer, and my skin doesn't feel too dry! But in the winter, I might need to add something in the middle. I've bought toners in the past to keep my skin hydrated, but ended up with minor breakouts, so I've just been using a water toner, accepting the dryness. But this one is really perfect for me. This is the first essence toner I've loved so much. The hydrating products usually leave a film on the surface, but this one doesn't give that occlusive feeling. It just deeply hydrates and calms the skin, leaving it soft and supple. Plus, the key ingredient is centella, which is something I really enjoy, so it works even better for me. Thanks to this, I've even stopped using cotton pads! I'm completely satisfied!
ConsSince this is a toner, if you just use this and do your makeup, your skin will be dry all day. As this is an essence toner, you'll need to apply a separate moisturizer.
TipIf you do a thorough cleansing, you don't even need to do a toning step with this product. It seems like cotton pads can actually be more harmful to the skin. I really recommend trying to use this toner without cotton pads!
