ConsBeing just a toner, I honestly can't tell if it really helps with whitening or wrinkle improvement

The compact design immediately catches the eye. It's lightweight, easy to hold, with a good volume, and I'm very satisfied with the grip both before and after use. The texture is essence-like but flows like water. It's easy to apply like a regular toner, and quickly absorbs when patted or gently massaged in. There's a slight stickiness after application, which is understandable given its essence-like properties. It's practically fragrance-free and colorless, making it suitable for daily use with its generous volume. While brightening effects might be noticeable due to the liquid's color or ingredients, improvements in wrinkles are limited with short-term use. It provides good hydration, reducing skin tightness. The essence-like qualities in this toner are quite noticeable. Of course, it's not summer, so avoid going out with just this toner on.
ConsThere's a slight stickiness after application, but it's hard to call this a drawback given its essence-like nature. The brightening and anti-wrinkle effects are actually hard to notice. If I had to pick a downside, it would be the value for money. It's clearly pricey for a daily toner. There's not much difference compared to using separate essence and toner. This might be disappointing, but let's solve it with a pro tip.
TipGiven its toner-like nature and the changing seasons, it's better to use this as a basic hydrating and nourishing daily toner, followed by an emulsion or cream, rather than using it alone. This is obvious, of course! As for the value for money issue, it's essential to look for discounts on Hwahae or during special events. While the product is quite satisfactory, the price might be a bit burdensome for daily use.

When I first dispensed it, there was no scent at all, but rubbing it between my palms released a very subtle, typical skincare aroma. After using it 2-3 times, it felt completely unscented! As someone sensitive to smells, I'm quite satisfied. Texture: It has a bit of viscosity! While not watery, it's not overly rich or heavy either. This makes it perfect for hydrating the skin during fall, winter, and seasonal transitions. After application, my skin feels slightly smoother. I'm not sure which ingredient is responsible, but I noticed my skin texture improving with use. I'd say this is more suitable for those in their mid-to-late 20s and up, rather than early 20s!
ConsAs it's marketed for brightening and anti-aging, it's hard to gauge its effectiveness after just a week of use. That being said, its hydrating formula makes it great for toner masking! Interestingly, unlike other toners that keep cotton pads smooth and adhered to the skin during toner masking, this one causes the pads to wrinkle up. I wonder if it's due to the formula...
TipI used this with Pyeolli Milli cotton pads, and I noticed they held the toner well even while I was blow-drying my hair. After use, my skin felt noticeably more hydrated!

Improved skin texture I didn't expect any improvement in skin texture, but my skin feels so soft now. I usually get dead skin cells easily, and without exfoliating, my skin feels rough and uneven. But since using this product, I've noticed my skin becoming incredibly smooth. 2. Lightweight bottle Toners are often sold in heavy bottles, but this one is plastic and extremely light, making it very convenient to use. 3. Fragrance-free While I enjoy scented cosmetics, most anti-wrinkle products have a peculiar smell (in my opinion). I'm satisfied that this one is fragrance-free.
Cons1. Price 2. Can't really tell the wrinkle improvement effect 3. Not enough hydration for dry skin
TipThe texture is more like a thin mucus rather than watery, so it seems better to apply it by hand in small amounts rather than using a cotton pad.

Regular toners can't immediately replenish the moisture, but the Timeless Essence Skin does the trick with just one application, tackling that deep dryness. It was a eureka moment! Of course, being dry-skinned, I still need an emulsion and cream, but I thought this product alone could suffice in summer. - Being an essence toner, its texture doesn't run as much as water-based products, which was convenient. I consider it a huge plus that a small amount goes a long way in skincare. - Due to my sensitive skin, I frequently change products and can quickly tell if something is too harsh - my skin reacts within days. This product, with all its ingredients rated EWG Green and being fragrance-free, is top-tier by my standards. - I appreciate Costok's commitment to clean beauty and environmental consciousness. The product's packaging is sleek and minimalist.
ConsThe anti-aging and brightening effects might require consistent use to become noticeable. It feels a bit pricey for its size.
TipI found that applying the toner to a cotton pad and leaving it on like a mask provided a noticeable boost in hydration.

Being fragrance-free, it's pleasant to use without any aversion. It has a thicker consistency than toner but thinner than typical essences, making it perfect to apply early in your skincare routine after an exfoliating toner. With its balanced hydration, it's great for use in the current season.
ConsIt doesn't absorb particularly quickly. While it's not overly rich, there's a slight glow left on the skin surface. This works well for dry areas but felt a bit heavy on the T-zone. Product tends to collect around the cap, making me wonder if a dropper design might have been better. It was difficult to notice short-term effects on brightening or wrinkle improvement (which might be expected).
TipWhen you're too lazy for a mask but want some skincare, it's nice to soak a 5-ply cotton pad and place it on your face briefly. It's also great as a toner substitute when you want to speed up your skincare routine for a boost of hydration.

But since this product is an essence toner that helps with brightening and wrinkles, I simplified my routine to just toner and emulsion. I was worried the runny texture might absorb slowly, but it sank in quickly when patted, which was convenient. Despite its watery consistency, it didn't feel sticky and left a clean finish, which I loved. As an essence toner, it provided ample hydration even when used alone. I have super sensitive skin, but I didn't experience any blemishes or tingling sensations while using this product.
ConsSince I'm writing this review after only a short period of use, I couldn't notice any changes in terms of brightening or wrinkles. I think I'll need to use it longer to see those effects.

My skin type is dry. In my early 20s, I had combination skin, so I switched to a sensitive skincare line focusing on hydration. After several laser treatments in my mid-20s, my skin became drier. I avoid emulsions completely, as products with oil tend to cause blemishes on my skin. In the morning, I prefer light, easily absorbed products for hydration. In the evening, I opt for richer textures to balance oil and moisture. First off, this product suits my skin well. I've seen others use thin sheet masks soaked in toner - I should try that skincare method next time!
ConsWhile I didn't notice immediate wrinkle improvement, the morning cleanse feels quite satisfying. When I wake up, my skin looks remarkably good.
TipI recommend applying this in the evening! In the morning, due to mask-wearing, if not applied carefully, it might cause your foundation to pill.

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.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. My skin type is dry, and in winter, I experience extreme dryness with flaking and cracking around my cheeks and mouth area. While I generally prefer a runny texture, this isn't a thick, sticky consistency but rather feels like a light essence. When layered multiple times, it does have a slightly tacky feel. I was pleased to see that the ingredients list doesn't contain any harmful components. Although I don't have particularly sensitive skin, as I've gotten older, I've noticed that products with poor ingredients can cause redness. I didn't experience that with this product. The fragrance is unscented, likely due to the absence of artificial fragrances. I prefer fragrance-free products, so this was a plus for me.
ConsAfter using it for about 8-9 days, I can't yet comment on its whitening or anti-wrinkle effects. I think I'll need to use it longer to see results. Personally, I prefer essences that provide rich hydration, similar to Skinfood's Royal Honey Enrich Essence. Except for summer, I need to use products with a more substantial texture to prevent my base makeup from looking patchy or flaky around my cheeks and mouth. This product felt a bit lacking in terms of deep hydration. It seems more suitable for use as a light toner or for a refreshing skin pack.

As someone with dry skin, I think I'll be able to use this year-round! (Those with oily or combination skin might find it a bit heavy for midsummer use) The Hwahae Testers will love that after my usual exfoliating toner, I applied an extra layer of this to my skin, and it really seemed to tackle that deep dryness! Plus, its slightly thicker texture made it perfect for a quick mask pack. I have dry skin but prefer a semi-matte finish. I simply swapped this product into my regular skincare routine in place of my usual toner. Even with a semi-matte foundation, I didn't experience any deep dryness, and it reduced the excess oil around my nose that usually comes from dehydration. I'm amazed that it even stopped the skin around my nose from peeling under my face mask!
ConsThis isn't really a downside, but I've been using it for less than a month, so I haven't seen any wrinkle improvement or brightening effects yet. I think I'll need to keep using it consistently to see those results.
