It's not as runny as water, but has a light consistency with a bit of viscosity, which I liked because it's not sticky. I have sensitive skin and often find it difficult to find suitable skincare products that don't feel heavy, but this one caused no irritation and wasn't sticky at all. Absorption: Perhaps due to its light texture, it absorbs quickly into the skin. I usually experience deep dryness, but I didn't feel any tightness even without applying emulsion or cream afterwards. Hydration: My skin is combination dehydrated - dry inside but oily on the surface. I've always used products that either dried out both layers or made both excessively oily. This one, however, left my skin feeling moisturized on the surface while keeping the inner layers hydrated without any tightness, which I really appreciated. The cap is attached to the bottle, so there's no worry about losing it. Plus, the lemon-shaped cap is absolutely adorable!
ConsWhile I didn't experience any deep dryness or blemishes, and had no issues with the product, I've read reviews where some users found that the moisture evaporated quickly, causing tightness, or that it didn't suit their super sensitive skin. I highly recommend checking the ingredient list before using this product!
TipAfter cleansing, applying just this product without any additional toner or emulsion provides sufficient hydration, prevents deep dryness, and even helps remove dead skin cells. It seems like it would be perfect to pack for trips or vacations as a standalone skincare item.

I've tried various exfoliating products, and then I was lucky enough to be selected as a Hwahae Tester! First off, the scent is absolutely delightful. As a citrus lover, I'm really into it. It feels perfect for spring and summer. The packaging is adorably cute, which is a plus. The container isn't rigid or made of glass, so it's easy to dispense with a gentle squeeze. The slightly viscous texture prevents it from spilling out, which is great! You need to apply it in small amounts, as it can turn white if you use too much at once. This seems common with BHA products though. After application, there's no greasiness or skin irritation (except for the nose area, which I'll mention in the cons). It's gentle enough for daily use. After a few days, my skin texture seems smoother. However, I'm still getting milia... I'll need to use it longer to see full results. I'm not sure about the claimed instant brightening effect. But then again, even dermatologist treatments don't work overnight, so we can't expect miracles from cosmetics, right?
ConsAs someone with allergies who blows their nose often, I found the area around my nose stinging quite a bit after application. From the second use onwards, I had to avoid applying it there. The container seems smaller than I expected. As many have mentioned, you need to twist the cap quite a bit to open it, which is a bit inconvenient.
TipI'm currently using it only in my evening routine.

Texture: Not as runny as water, but has a slightly thick, mucus-like consistency. Application: Absorbs well when patted in with hands, no need for cotton pads. Hydration: For dry skin, one application doesn't provide intense hydration. Either layer it multiple times or follow up with an emulsion or cream for longer-lasting moisture. Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
ConsLongevity: The hydration doesn't seem to last very long, so I'd recommend it more for combination or oily skin rather than dry skin. Packaging: The small opening means you need to shake it several times to get enough product on a cotton pad. As someone with year-round dryness who often layers toners, I noticed this tends to pill when applied multiple times (possibly due to the AHA/BHA ingredients?).
TipPro tip: In my opinion, it's better suited for morning use rather than evening. I found it works well as an exfoliating toner when applied with a cotton pad to refine skin texture.

It smells exactly like fresh lemon juice. However, I personally don't enjoy the scent of lemon juice, so it wasn't my favorite. But it's not artificial, and the scent fades quickly after application, so that was fine! Texture: A runny consistency, not completely liquid but with a slight viscosity. You can do the 'doctor' method with it! Packaging: Adorable lemon-shaped cap that opens smoothly. Finish: Not greasy at all, leaves a refreshing feel which I loved! Application: Glides on smoothly with a 'slip-slip' sound. Absorbs quickly too!
ConsPersonally, I'm not a fan of lemon scents, and this one was a bit strong for my liking!

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, I was totally smitten with the packaging when I saw it! The cute lemon cap is so refreshing! The scent is zesty with a very subtle hint of something like alcohol. It's not completely watery, more of a runny texture, which makes it easier to control the amount compared to water-based toners. Despite having atopic and combination dehydrated skin in my 30s, I found it non-irritating, which was a big plus. I've been using it consistently since I received it, and I didn't experience any shedding of dead skin cells (though the product mentions this might happen after 2-3 days of use). After application, there's a slight redness and tingling, but it's very mild and brief - not enough to call it irritation. It seems to enhance the absorption of other skincare products applied afterwards!
ConsWhile the packaging is pretty and cute, the screw-top lid can be a bit cumbersome to open and close. Also, given its runny texture and glass bottle, you need to tap it with a bit of force to saturate the cotton pad. It's not that it doesn't come out easily, it's just the nature of the formula!
TipSunscreen is a must if using during the day! I've been using it only in my evening skincare routine lately since I haven't been wearing makeup or sunscreen much. Like other reviewers mentioned, I tried wiping twice - the first pass seems to smooth out dead skin cells, and the second pass refines skin texture. Of course, once is enough too!

(Still, I followed up with essence and moisturizer.) In the morning, after just rinsing with water, I used this toner to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. I noticed significantly less yellowish... residue on the cotton pad! It's not completely gone - that would be a lie - but there's definitely less!
ConsThe scent... it's like a medicinal lemon fragrance... I wasn't a fan of the smell. Also, those with super sensitive skin might find it a bit irritating. I have really tough skin, but even I felt a slight tingling sensation when I first used it. After that, I adjusted how I applied it and it was fine.
TipIn the evening, I use exfoliating cotton pads, and in the morning, I switch to hydrating ones. If you use this exfoliating toner according to your skin's needs, it should work well for your skincare routine!

That's why I liked it Despite its thin consistency, it absorbs well and has good application Compared to my usual water-based toners, this one's more viscous, so it's significantly more hydrating While I always had to use cotton pads with water toners, this one absorbs directly into the skin, so no need for cotton pads ✨Scent True to its lemon nature, it has a strong lemon scent. It's reminiscent of lemonade ✨Design The outer packaging is cute, and overall it has a clean look
ConsIf I had to pick one downside, it would be that it's a bit pricey for the amount you get Also, the scent might be a bit strong for some people's liking
TipWhen I want to exfoliate, I apply it to a tissue-type cotton pad and wipe - it's great for getting rid of dead skin cells!

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 skin type is combination, with an oily T-zone that explodes with sebum in summer, and a dry U-zone that's not extremely dry. My cheeks are less problematic, but I tend to have more severe flaking around my mouth. The application is spot-on with its runny texture. When I first tried it on the back of my hand, it didn't drip excessively, making it easy to apply even without a cotton pad. In fact, since the formula is somewhat sticky, I found it better to apply with my hands. Using a thick cotton pad might result in barely any product reaching your face. The absorption is fantastic - even better than the Dokdo toner, which I already thought was pretty good. After cleansing and patting my face dry, I apply this toner directly. When I follow up with cream or serum, everything blends seamlessly without any pilling. The absorption is top-notch! As for hydration and other aspects, it effectively manages dead skin cells. It creates a nice base for applying cream or other products afterward. I think it would also work well as a cooling mask later on.
ConsThe lid design, while cute with its lemon shape, isn't the most practical as it's a screw-top type. In terms of moisturizing power, given that it's a toner, it might not provide enough hydration on its own during winter. However, among toners, it does offer a decent level of moisture. If I had to nitpick, these would be the two minor drawbacks.

You won't have to worry about it making a mess. Scent: While it might be a love-it-or-hate-it situation, there's a subtle lemon fragrance. If you inhale deeply, you'll notice a strong alcohol scent, so it's better to enjoy the delicate aroma that develops after applying it to your face.
ConsTingling sensation: Despite being labeled as low pH and gentle, it stung quite a bit upon application. Even though my skin isn't particularly sensitive and usually tolerates most products well, I felt an immediate tingling sensation. It seemed to absorb quickly into the skin. Fortunately, the tingling subsided after absorption. Not suitable for layering: Due to its runny consistency, this product isn't ideal for layering. If you try to layer it, you'll likely end up using an excessive amount of product.

So lemony~ - It has a nice consistency that doesn't run off your hands easily! Usually, with water-like toners, I'd spill half on the floor, but with this product, I could use just the right amount each time! - Before trying a new toner, I always worry about tingling sensations, but fortunately, this lemon toner wasn't too harsh and felt fine! (Even though I had a few blemishes)
ConsWhat could be improved: - The lemon scent isn't terrible, but it's not particularly pleasant either..! - This toner didn't pair well with the moisturizer I'm currently using! The cream would turn white and flaky, like dead skin cells? Hmm.. I'm not sure what kind of cream I should apply after using this product!
