Pros
I'm not just using one toner, but I'm using multiple products. Among the recent products I've used, this is the one I like the most. I tend to apply the toner multiple times, and it's definitely good for my dehydrated skin. The formula isn't too runny like water, but it's not as thick as mucus either. Since the ingredients are decent, I even use it with my middle school-aged child.
Cons
There might be some disagreement on the price and the scent. I'm not particularly sensitive to scents, but other family members say the fragrance is not great.
Tip
I often layer the toner multiple times or use it together with an oil.

Pros
+ It says there are 2 ingredients that are bad for sensitive skin But as someone with extremely dry and super sensitive skin, I didn't feel any negative effects, and the fermented kombucha-based skincare actually felt gentler and more suitable for me. + It's more like a cleansing toner than a cleansing balm It's not completely watery like a cleansing balm, so it's better to do a cleansing routine and then use this to make your skin smooth and supple. My skin felt smooth and soft after using the toner. + I didn't get any breakouts at all, and I think continuing to use it will help with skin anti-aging as well Seems to be the kombucha effect.
Cons
+ The downside is that I'm sensitive to scents, and it has a very pungent, fermented smell ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I guess it's unavoidable since it's made with kombucha, but I just can't stand it ㅠㅠ

Pros
I have very sensitive skin, so even the slightest mismatch can immediately cause skin troubles. But this product is so gentle and non-irritating, it's a perfect match for me. The serum-like essence has a rich, bouncy texture, not lightweight at all. It thoroughly drenches my skin with moisture, leaving it wonderfully hydrated and supple. As a mild, slightly acidic toner, it's safe for my sensitive skin. It helps balance my skin's oil and moisture levels, and has a soothing effect, so I'm very satisfied with it.
Cons
There's not really any major downside, but when I first applied it, the scent wasn't overly fragrant. Since it's a natural cosmetic product without any artificial fragrances, that's likely the reason. After using it a few times, I got completely used to the scent and it was fine.
Tip
When my skin feels excessively dry, I recommend soaking a cotton pad with the toner and using it as a hydrating mask. This helps calm any redness and eliminates that tight, uncomfortable feeling. I highly suggest giving this a try.

Pros
The moisturizing power is quite good, and since it's made from natural ingredients, there are no skin troubles at all. I highly recommend it for sensitive skin. The price is also affordable, and it seems to be a toner with good value for money.
Cons
The scent is not quite my style. There may be some who like it and some who don't.
Tip
If you apply it generously before bed, the moisturizing effect will last until the next morning.

Pros
1. Watery Texture I prefer a more watery texture over a thick, sticky one. It can also be used by squeezing it onto a cotton pad. 2. Minimal Skin Irritation I've had experiences where my face would get irritated after using products like the Dokdo Skin or Hyaluronic Acid Skin that were previously ranked on Hwahae. So I was very careful in selecting this toner, and I'm glad that it doesn't cause any irritation when applied. 3. Large Volume The volume is also quite generous. I used it when doing a modeling pack, and the amount didn't decrease significantly. 4. Moisturizing Since I have dry skin, I think I can use this as a standalone product even in the summer. The watery texture is very moisturizing, which is the aspect I like the most!
Cons
The Scent... Oh my god, it's driving me crazy. It has this kind of... smell that you'd find in a monk's room or a Zen master's room. I do like that kind of scent, but it's just too overpowering here. To be honest, this downside outweighs all the other positive points for me.

Pros
(The Hwahae Trial Reviewer review is due today, so I'm writing this in a hurry,,ㅠㅠ) (1) Skin Type: I have slightly dry and very sensitive skin,, It's usually fine, but one day it suddenly flips and becomes itchy and hot,,ㅠㅠㅠㅠ (2) Absorption: The absorption was surprisingly good! I soaked a cotton pad, wiped it once, squeezed some more onto my hands, and patted it onto my face, and the water-based formula didn't take too long to absorb! But there was still a bit of stickiness,,ㅠㅠ (3) Soothing: I was debating whether to use it or not since my skin was a bit irritated when I first received the package, but I decided to try it, and the soothing effect was better than expected,,? After wiping it once, applying aloe, and then a gentle lotion, my skin calmed down within 10 minutes. The conclusion is that the soothing effect is better than expected! (4) Hydration: I usually used a toner with a sticky, runny texture, and this water-based one didn't feel drying or anything! (For reference, I have slightly dry skin) There was no tightness at all, even 5 minutes after just applying the toner! (5) Packaging: The packaging on this is really pretty,,ㅠㅠㅠㅠ It's neat and clean, and you can easily check the volume, and it just looks so pretty ㅠㅠ It's not too heavy either, just the perfect pretty feel!
Cons
(6) Fragrance: This is probably just personal preference, but I wasn't a big fan of the fragrance at first,,It kind of smells like honey, but not exactly, and it's like the scent of tree bark, but not that either,,But after using it continuously, I've gotten used to it and it's okay now!
Tip
Apart from the fragrance, there doesn't seem to be any other downsides! It was just a nice, average toner to use! It was really just plain and simple, but in a good way!

Pros
Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review: Skin Type: Combination Case: Smaller than expected, with a glass case. I liked that the vegan cosmetics concept was well-conveyed. Fragrance: Aromatic? Texture: Water-based toner! As a person with an extremely oily skin type, I prefer water-based toners over sticky textures. When I first applied it, I felt it provided good hydration and a soothing effect.
Cons
Fragrance? The aromatic fragrance was not to my personal preference. Given my extremely oily skin type, this toner may have contained oils, so I didn't feel as refreshed after using it. As I prefer a more refreshing toner, this was a bit disappointing for me personally.

Pros
I tried vegan products for the first time and felt good from the moment I received them. The container looks much more premium than regular toners, and the product packaging seems to be made of recycled paper, as if they put thought into the environment. It feels like a cosmetic that was carefully brewed for a long time. The toner's viscosity seems more suitable for applying directly with the hands rather than using a cotton pad. It's more like a diluted serum than a regular cleansing toner. I've been using a mask for a long time, and my chin area has been severely troubled, so I was reluctant to use a heavy cream for night care. But after cleansing in the evening, just applying this toner generously and going to bed makes me feel more refreshed, and my troubles seem to have calmed down a bit the next morning. If the scent could be improved a bit, this would be a toner I'd like to use continuously.
Cons
Perhaps due to the many good medicinal ingredients, the scent is a bit... Those who don't mind the scent of ginseng or red ginseng products might be fine, but personally, as someone who doesn't particularly like oriental herbal cosmetics, I got a slight oriental herbal cosmetic vibe from the scent, which was a bit of a turnoff for me.
Tip
Soaking a cotton pad thoroughly with the toner and keeping it in the container in the refrigerator to use as a mask pack was great - the heat dissipated and the troubles caused by mask-wearing seemed to subside a bit. I used up the toner quickly, which was a bit of a shame, but I'm satisfied with using it as a mask pack instead.

Pros
💟Hwahae Trial Reviewer Review💟 - Lately, I've had quite a few milia on my cheeks due to wearing masks, but they have improved to some extent! I felt that my skin was calming down. The effect wasn't huge, but the milia didn't get worse, and the bumps caused by the mask seemed to have subsided a bit. Even my redness was quite severe, but after applying the toner, the redness also felt quite soothed! After applying, I didn't feel any dryness, and the moisture was maintained for quite a long time.
Cons
- The scent seems to be quite polarizing...In fact, I took off one star because of the scent..😂😂 It's kind of like my mom's cosmetics + oriental medicine scent..? I can't really describe it, but I didn't like it... The scent also lingers quite a bit, so if you don't wear makeup, the scent might linger to some degree ㅠㅠㅠㅠ -The texture is not one that absorbs immediately, but rather a slippery one. For those who dislike slippery textures, please take note!
Tip
As I mentioned earlier, since the absorption is slow, I applied it by soaking a cotton pad and patting it onto my face. Even with just this toner, I felt that my dehydration was somewhat resolved, so I skipped the moisturizer and just used the toner and serum.

Pros
I have atopic dermatitis, so my skin is dry and very sensitive. When I use products with slightly irritating ingredients or functional cosmetics, my skin is highly likely to get inflamed. And since I have oily skin, if I use products that are too moisturizing and greasy, I get terrible acne. My skin is a lost cause... So I've tried a lot of toners with good ingredients for sensitive skin. (Dokdo Skin, Izza&Tree, Cynic, The Lab by Blanc Dou, Innisfree, etc.) The Huxley Combucha Skin feels similar in performance to those toners, but the organic ingredients are a big plus. Of course, my skin didn't get inflamed, and it felt nicely moisturized without being too greasy, so the user experience was really good. I'll break it down by category: 1. Texture It's somewhere between a watery skin and a regular toner. The texture is similar to Izza&Tree, but I personally dislike the lightweight, slippery feel of Izza&Tree products... The Combucha Toner doesn't feel slippery at all and has a nice, absorbent viscosity. 2. Ingredients Excellent. There are many good skincare products, but this is one of the first brands I've seen that uses organic raw materials. Both are listed as sensitive, but since they're natural extracts, individual reactions may vary. I was fine with it! 3. Hydration, Lasting Power Before the Combucha Toner, I was using The Lab by Blanc Dou, and I couldn't really tell a difference in hydration and lasting power. Both leave a clean, moisturized feel without being excessive. (I use the Combucha Toner -> Dokdo Lotion, and occasionally just Physiogel on dry areas, and it seems to balance my oil and moisture well.) 4. Packaging The packaging is really pretty, simple, and gives a warm feel. It can even add a decorative touch on your vanity. It's the prettiest packaging I've seen among the products I've tried. But as others have mentioned, the glass makes it a bit heavy.
Cons
Hmm... In my opinion, the fragrance is the Achilles' heel. It excels in all other areas, and the ingredients are great, but the fragrance is a bit disappointing. The moment you apply it, a strong and distinctive aroma hits you, and if you keep smelling it, it might make you feel a bit nauseous. However, the fragrance doesn't linger for long and fades quickly. It's not a dealbreaker, but more of a letdown. I'm quite used to fragrance-free cosmetics, so the scent is a bit off-putting to me.
Tip
In conclusion, this toner is a great match for my atopic, sensitive, and oily skin. It's gentle and works well. If the fragrance was improved, I would definitely consider purchasing it!
