Pros
My summer was hard-carried for me..! It was the one that made me fall in love with Houttuynia cordata..! The good mistake of Tony Mori...?! The product description, the name, and everything about it are absolutely not a single grain of falsehood. The coolness is the moisturizing sensation itself, not menthol mint..! Incredibly fast and soothing..! No irritation..! Fast absorption..! Fragrant..! If you apply it moderately, it's refreshing, and if you apply a lot, it's also good as a sleeping pack with lasting power..! Imagine continuously submerging your face in cool (+ slightly fragrant herbal) water, that's exactly what it's like. Decisively, the amount is incredibly large. I only bought one, but I've been using it at home, carrying it around, and it's been a whole season, and can you see the remaining amount? ㅋㅋ I think it's a mistake by Tony Mori.♥ The reason it's portable is that it prevents it from getting pressed when carried like that (refer to the photo). No need to worry about carrying it around. However, it's a bit big.. While passing by the cosmetic counters, my skin felt a bit taut, so I quickly applied the sample, and it was truly a whole new world, and even though I looked for other products for a week, I ended up deciding on this one, and I've never regretted it once. No irritation...and so much to praise..
Cons
There's really nothing disappointing about it. It seems to dry quickly in the wind. However, the absorbed moisture doesn't completely disappear, but if you have dry skin, I'd recommend finding another moisturizing product to use together with it or turning on a humidifier, especially in spring and winter. But regardless of the season, it's truly excellent at providing immediate hydration and soothing. Oh, and this may not be a downside for many others, but I mentioned that I carry it around, and this is both an advantage and a disadvantage - it has a large volume and is quite big. The weight is also an issue. Since I have a job that involves a lot of moving around, I often think it would be great if a smaller version was available. I suppose it's better to just decant it into a smaller container and carry that around..?ㅠ
Tip
As mentioned earlier, in extremely dry seasons like spring and winter, I'd recommend using another moisturizing product together with it or turning on a humidifier if you're indoors. Personally, I apply it right after washing my face in the morning. I have another essence that I like, so I choose between the two, and this one seems to work well when I feel a bit sticky or dry.

Pros
The fragrance is very nice. It feels like smelling flowers. The moisture content is quite high, and the viscosity is low, so when you put it on your palm and tilt your hand, it slides down smoothly like water droplets. After cleansing, it feels refreshing, but the moisture seems to evaporate quickly, so I'm using it along with a lotion. I think it would be good for oily skin to use it on its own.
Cons
It seems the moisture evaporates a bit quickly. I'm using it along with a lotion.

Pros
😀Skin Soothing & Cooling Sensation I used it on my face that had breakouts due to wearing masks, and on areas irritated by waxing, and it was great - the cooling sensation made the redness disappear! 😀Packaging The packaging is not a spatula-type where you have to open the lid to scoop out the product, but a pumping type, so it's hygienic and you can control the amount you use. 😀Fragrance The fragrance is a bit strong at first, but over time it becomes less noticeable to me.
Cons
🙃Stickiness & Dryness I have oily skin, so I don't really like products that leave a sticky residue on my skin. This one felt a bit sticky at first, and then became dry, so I had to apply a soothing gel first and then a moisturizer on top.

Pros
The fragrance is not artificial! I've only used aloe vera soothing gel before, but I'm using it really well. The packaging is also hygienic and the gel spreads smoothly. After using it for a week, the milia that was coming up on my dry skin has decreased, and I can feel a slight cooling sensation! When I apply it after waxing and cooling, it calms down quickly, so the usage experience is good and I will use it again.
Cons
After applying it all, it becomes a bit sticky, maybe due to the unique gel formula. It seems like I'll need to apply a cream afterwards for better moisture.
Tip
Applying it after waxing and cooling seems to work well!! I highly recommend it because of the immediate cooling effect.

Pros
The gel-type formula is slightly runny, which makes it easy to apply lightly. The scent of houttuynia and centella is mild, so it's not unpleasant. When my face feels flushed, applying this has a cooling and soothing effect. I use it frequently!! The amount is quite generous, so it's good for using on the neck and body as well as the face. At night, I apply it generously on my face before bed, and the soothing effects seem to be even more pronounced.
Cons
There's nothing particularly bad about it! But if I had to pick something, it's that the packaging is not a tube, but a pump-style dispenser, so it may be a bit more difficult to maintain hygiene. 🫶 🫶 🫶
Tip
Keeping it in the refrigerator and applying it when it's cool seems to enhance the soothing effects!!

Pros
💚The cooling effect is great, making it perfect for use in the summer weather! When the skin's temperature rises due to strong sunlight in the summer, this product can be used to soothe the skin. I plan to use it even when it's not summer since I naturally have a lot of heat in my skin! 💚The Houttuynia cordata ingredient worked well for me, providing a calming effect! The combination of the Houttuynia cordata and the cooling effect seems to be very soothing. While the calming effect was good, I didn't notice any benefits for acne. 💚I'm a bit sensitive to scents, but this one was fine for me!! 💚I thought it would be sticky at first, but it finished off nicely and refreshingly!
Cons
I'd recommend this more for oily skin types rather than dry skin. It felt a bit drying for my dry skin.

Pros
The best thing about using this product was that it had a great soothing effect, and when I kept it in the refrigerator and used it, it calmed my skin down even faster, making it feel more comfortable! It also didn't have any oiliness, so I didn't have to worry about it clogging my pores or anything like that. The cooling scent was also really nice.
Cons
The only downside was that even when I applied it generously, it would start to feel dry again after a while, which was a bit disappointing.
Tip
When I do modeling packs at home, I apply a generous amount and then do the pack. That way, the soothing effect is doubled, and if it starts to feel dry, I just apply another layer after finishing the pack and go to sleep.

Pros
The large capacity is great value for money, so I can use it generously. The gel formula applies and absorbs quickly. It's gentle, so even my combination skin tolerated it well. :-) The scent was also mild enough for my preferences.
Cons
Dry skin types may need to apply a moisturizing cream on top. The large size could be inconvenient to carry around, so you may need to decant some separately.
Tip
Keeping it in the fridge and applying it will give you a truly refreshing and cooling sensation.

Pros
This is a 2-week review. The calming speed is really fast. Even when stored at room temperature and used, there is a slight cooling sensation. Especially when stored in the refrigerator and used, it is the most effective!! The texture itself is similar to an aloe vera soothing gel. I usually like mugwort, and the subtle mugwort scent was very nice. There are many aloe or rose soothing gels, but there weren't any mugwort ones before. But when this one came out, I thought 'Oh, this is perfect!' and I think I'll use it often when I need quick soothing in the summer.
Cons
After using this, my skin feels a bit pushed the next day. There's a bit of a residue that comes out, like a film? At first I was like 'Huh, what's this?' but after using it for 3 days and it felt weird, I took this product out and used other cosmetics, and then my skin didn't feel pushed anymore. There are some soothing gels that make your skin feel pushed, and this has that kind of feeling. If it didn't make my skin feel pushed, it would be perfect!
Tip
Put it in the refrigerator and apply it right after cleansing on days when you've received a lot of sun exposure! You'll experience a whole new world.
