From the outside, I thought it might have a watery consistency, but it's actually a viscous essence. The small opening makes it easy to control the amount. It glides on smoothly without irritation, leaving a nice glow as it slowly absorbs without any stickiness. Even though I have oily skin, I feel like it's getting dehydrated over time. This essence lives up to its '12-layer deep hydration' claim, as I could feel it moisturizing from within. The ingredients are great too, so I used it without any issues.
ConsThere's not really anything to complain about, except maybe that it runs out quickly?!! I see on the Hwahae app that it's been discontinued....

The formula isn't heavy, yet feels more hydrating than other water-based toners. Absorption is decent. • Texture improvement: Not sure about exfoliation, but after using one bottle, my skin texture improved noticeably! • Bottle: The 100ml bottle was rigid and hard to squeeze, but the Animal Friends edition has a softer, more user-friendly bottle. • Vegan
Cons• Price: As it's a hydrating toner that lasts longer, is vegan, and has recyclable packaging, I don't find it expensive. However, those used to water-based toners might consider it pricey. • Texture: The slippery texture makes it challenging to layer with other skincare products. It's difficult to use for toner masking, and there's a slight stickiness. Even though I've gone through 5 bottles, I'm planning to switch to something else once I finish my stock.

(First Impression) I was confused when they called it an emulsion because it looked like a toner. The name 'Treatment Emulsion' made me think it would be super nourishing. (Texture) It's a bit sticky? Tacky? But once it absorbs, it feels fine. It definitely provides hydration! This is the thickest essence I've ever used. (Effects) I've noticed my face looking brighter lately - could it be thanks to this?!!! I've been diligently applying just this, and it seems to have whitening and anti-wrinkle effects!! (For Me) I have sensitive skin prone to deep dryness, but this worked well for me! The scent isn't too strong, and it's not unpleasant - a subtle herbal fragrance? I sniffed it closely because of the reviews, and it's quite pleasant. Thanks to The Hwahae Testers, I got to try this product and I'm so happy!!!
ConsIf you dislike sticky textures, you might not enjoy this. Sometimes when I apply a lot because my skin is dry, it feels so sticky that it's difficult to apply makeup.
TipIf it feels sticky, try applying a sunscreen with a friction-reducing formula on top!

Rather than spreading smoothly, it glides on with a slippery feel. It has a slightly odd sensation, as if it might not absorb well, haha! - However, it absorbs well into the skin. After applying it initially, there's a bit of stickiness, but even that quickly absorbs, leaving no sticky residue. - I usually only use products that help with deep dryness, and I like that this doesn't feel drying at all. It was fine to apply just one layer. - I appreciate that it has gentle ingredients. It's great that it also contains niacinamide, which helps with brightening the complexion!
Cons- After application, the skin feels very sticky. Of course, as mentioned above, that stickiness does get absorbed and becomes okay, but because of that initial feeling, even after absorption, there's still a lingering sticky sensation. It's not heavy or suffocating, but it doesn't have a super fresh finish either. - It feels like it's on the verge of being dry. It's not exactly dry, but not moisturizing either... You know that feeling, right? It's that state where you're wondering if you should apply another layer, going 'Hmm...' - As I have combination dehydrated skin, it started to feel a bit oily after some time.

While my skin stays calm most of the time, I tend to get small blemishes during seasonal changes. This product was gentle and non-irritating, even on those troubled areas. The texture is like a slightly runny nose mucus (in a good way!), offering abundant hydration. It's an essence-type that glides on smoothly, reminiscent of seaweed-infused water. The hydration feels substantial rather than light, so I found it absorbed a bit slowly. Once it sinks in, it feels cool and comfortable on the skin. When I gently press my hand to my face, it feels plump and bouncy, like it's filled with moisture. After absorption, there's no greasiness, but a slight tightening sensation - perhaps due to the caffeine content. In the morning, my skin texture looks more refined. A major plus for me was the absence of artificial colors and fragrances.
ConsThere's a slight, subtle tightening effect. When layered multiple times, it can feel a bit sticky before full absorption, which might not be everyone's cup of tea. Additionally, I personally prefer lightweight toners that provide instant hydration. Since this product absorbs more slowly, I find myself reaching for it less often than my usual toner... sigh.
TipApply it right after washing your face! Just pat off excess water and slather it on. I found it much more hydrating and long-lasting when applied to slightly damp skin. It seems to focus more on deep hydration, so personally, I start with this product, followed by a light moisturizer, then a richer cream before bed. When I wake up in the morning, my skin condition is fantastic!

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 toner has a slightly thicker consistency. The product description also recommends using it as the first step after cleansing. It has a slippery, mucus-like texture, but it's not as sticky as those 5 or 8-fold hyaluronic acid products. It's more like the viscosity you'd expect from glycerin. True to Rovectin's reputation for being especially good for sensitive skin, there was absolutely no irritation. Despite its mucus-like texture, it absorbed into the skin surprisingly well. This essence seems particularly beneficial for those who frequently get blemishes on their chin and surrounding areas due to lack of hydration. However, if you have extremely dry skin, rather than using this as your first step, it might be better to start with a more watery toner and then follow up with this product.
ConsGiven that it's a mucus-type toner with a strong hyaluronic acid or glycerin feel, you absolutely can't use it before applying makeup. It tends to cause pilling, so it's best suited for use before bedtime only.
TipAfter applying the Rovectin Treatment Emulsion, instead of immediately following up with another ampoule or cream, it's much better to wait about 5 minutes before moving on to the next product in your routine.

It's great that it doesn't drip onto the floor when dispensed and doesn't run down to your elbows. When applied to the face, it absorbs surprisingly quickly! (This might vary depending on how dry your skin is.) It absorbs rapidly but doesn't leave your skin feeling parched at all - it truly makes a 'slurp slurp' sound. The texture feels slightly sticky, making your hands cling to your face. When you layer cream or other products on top, they all absorb together seamlessly, as if nothing happened, leaving your skin feeling soft. I've wanted to try this for ages, so I'm thrilled to have won it through The Hwahae Testers! It's likely to become a staple for seasonal changes and winter.
ConsThe price point is a bit high... If you accidentally apply too much, you end up patting it in more. When this happens, it's reminiscent of making spiderwebs with glue sticks as a kid - you can see white strands between your hands and face. It just shows how rich and elastic the texture is. If there's any moisture left on your face after cleansing, it turns white like soapy water, as if you're washing your face again. It's fine if you keep working it in, but it can be a bit startling each time.
TipMake sure to dry your face completely before applying.

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.ProsSkin Type: I have a very sensitive combination skin with redness on my cheeks, extremely dry U-zone, and oily T-zone. After my T-zone flared up once, I developed acne and scarring, which is really stressful. My skin is so sensitive that I always check ingredients when buying cosmetics, and even products with good ingredients often don't suit my skin. Texture and Application: It has a runny, gel-like texture that feels slippery and slightly sticky when applied. This texture helps the hydration last longer than water-based products, giving a more moisturizing feel. It doesn't absorb super quickly, so you need to pat it in thoroughly. Hydration and Soothing: I usually skip toner and apply essence or ampoule directly. This product provides excellent hydration and moisture, effectively addressing deep dryness. Of course, if you have dry skin, you'll need to follow up with an emulsion or cream! It contains 7 types of hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 (panthenol), which helped with both hydration and soothing. Ingredients: I love that this product has very gentle ingredients and no harmful substances! Besides the 7 types of hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, it also contains papaya fruit extract for gentle exfoliation and niacinamide for brightening. I've only been using it for a week, so the brightening and exfoliating effects aren't dramatic yet, but I can definitely see some improvement. Blemishes: While using this product, my existing blemishes didn't worsen, and the small bumps on my forehead significantly decreased. My skin texture has also improved a lot. Although I'm not using this product alone, it's clearly making a difference. I plan to keep purchasing it, if only for its effect on those small bumps!
ConsWhile it's not the cheapest option out there, the generous amount makes up for it. I highly recommend it because it's just that good!
TipI'd like to share my current skincare routine that's been really helping with blemish control. Note that I skip toner and exfoliating toner steps because I develop contact dermatitis from cotton pads. Also, I use different products for my T-zone and U-zone due to their different skin types. Here's a pro tip: Small bumps tend to appear more when skin lacks hydration, so it's crucial to provide enough moisture. However, avoid oils or greasy products. Instead, use a hydrating gel, cica gel, or aloe gel that suits your skin, followed by an oil-free emulsion or cream to finish. Routine Order: 1. Rovectin Activating Treatment Lotion (layered twice) 2. B.plane Cica Calming Gel 3. B.plane Cicaterol Spot Treatment (T-zone only) 4. Aestura Atobarrier 365 Emulsion (U-zone only) 5. Aestura Atobarrier 365 Cream mixed with Tirtir Jojoba Oil (U-zone only)

As someone with dry skin, I found it effectively tackles deep dryness. It's also great for soothing the skin when used as a skin pack by soaking a cotton pad. I really appreciated that it's colorless and fragrance-free, which means it doesn't irritate the skin.
ConsThe absorption is a bit on the slower side. Due to its slippery texture, I had to pat it in several times. However, this wasn't a significant issue, so I was still satisfied with it.
TipI found it worked better as a hydrating toner rather than an exfoliating one.

As someone with super sensitive skin, I can't use just anything. After checking the ingredients on Hwahae, I found them to be really clean! So I confidently applied to be part of The Hwahae Testers. After using it for a few days, I had absolutely no blemishes. My skin tends to be dry, but this product isn't sticky at all. It has a slightly bouncy, slippery texture. 'Runny gel' would be the perfect description! When you apply it, you can immediately feel your skin becoming bouncy and hydrated. The next day, my skin looks as if it's had a big drink of water. I'm really loving it!
ConsAt first, it was really difficult to open the lid. I think it would be better if it had a pump. It's a bit unsettling and bothersome to open and close the lid with product on your hands.
TipIf you apply this product generously right after cleansing and follow up with an emulsion, you can definitely feel your skin becoming more hydrated the next day!
