I have combination skin prone to closed comedones, redness, sensitivity, and oiliness in the T-zone. This made it challenging to find suitable products, and I often stressed over acne and blemishes due to uncontrolled sebum production. My skin was too sensitive for harsh exfoliation, so I was thrilled to discover a 'basic skincare product' that could help with dead skin cells and oil control. Highlights: 1) As someone with combination skin - dry cheeks and oily elsewhere - I always look for less greasy products. This one is perfect: oil-free yet deeply hydrating, making it comfortable to use. 2) The moisturizing power is impressive. I apply it generously to dry areas, pat it in, and it absorbs beautifully without any stickiness. 3) My skin tends to break out easily with toners, but this product is great for use before toner to refine skin texture. It doesn't cause redness or tingling when balancing my complexion.
ConsRoom for improvement: 1) Unlike abrasive exfoliators that show immediate results, this product doesn't visibly reduce dead skin cells right away. However, I believe consistent use might lead to gentle, gradual improvement in skin texture. 2) I experienced a slight stinging sensation when applying it around the eyes. 3) While my pores are quite noticeable, I didn't see a reduction in blackheads or whiteheads. Results may vary, but for me, they still seem quite prominent. 4) As someone with naturally warm skin, my makeup tends to separate. Even with ample use of this exfoliating toner, I found my makeup still didn't stay put. I wish it had a cooling effect to help with this issue! In conclusion, this works well as a pre-toner step. Though you won't see dramatic exfoliation results immediately, consistent use as part of your skincare routine may gradually improve skin texture. It seems suitable for sensitive, reactive skin prone to redness, acne, and combination issues. I'd classify it as a gentle, non-irritating product.

Every time I used cosmetics with harmful ingredients, I'd get blemishes. But Isoi, being a brand that only uses gentle ingredients, didn't cause any skin issues. That's why I've been using all their basic skincare products. When my toner was running out, I opened the Hwahae app to look for a new product without harmful ingredients. I saw that Isoi, my favorite brand, was accepting applications for The Hwahae Testers for their new toner, so I quickly applied. Luckily, I was selected, and here's my review after two weeks of use. First, the 210ml size is generous and will last quite a while. I used it by applying it to a cotton pad and wiping my face. It didn't irritate my dry, sensitive skin at all. Since it's an exfoliating toner, I focused on using it diligently on my nose area every day. I definitely felt like it reduced my blackheads. Before, I'd sometimes see flaky skin when applying makeup, but with this toner, my makeup seemed to apply more smoothly. After finishing the product from The Hwahae Testers, I'm 200% sure I'll repurchase it!
ConsWhen I was wiping around my eyes with the toner-soaked cotton pad, my child suddenly spilled some water. I opened my eyes quickly and felt a slight tingling sensation (it was about the same level of discomfort as when you open your eyes immediately after water splashes near them). Also, because I had to be hospitalized for a few days during the testing period and had to pause using it, I'm not really sure about its pore-reducing effects.
TipWhen I use this as an exfoliating toner and apply cream before bed, my skin feels even smoother and softer in the morning. I've been using this toner morning and night, and it seems to help my makeup apply more smoothly.
