Pros
It's great for use in the summer! You can apply it all over your body and face, and it doesn't leave any stickiness at all!!! And it's gentle, so it doesn't cause any breakouts.
Cons
It's too drying. Even when I apply it in two or three layers, it still feels dry... In the summer, I have to use this and then apply a separate cream as well.

Pros
I was a bit skeptical when I bought it, but it turned out to be really great. Some people say it can be a bit drying, but I haven't experienced that at all. At night, I just apply this one product generously and go to sleep. It has no special fragrance and absorbs well. It's gentle and calms the skin nicely. Highly recommended.
Cons
There are no downsides. The amount is just right and the packaging is convenient.

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.

There's really nothing disappointing about it. The fact that it calms the skin is already a blessing.

Pros
At first, I was surprised by the larger than expected size when I received it. I usually only use small essences, but receiving this gel-type all-in-one product felt quite new. My skin is very sensitive and prone to breakouts, so I was worried, but fortunately, it didn't cause any trouble and seems to be a very gentle product. However, using just this all-in-one product, my skin felt quite dry. It seems I need to use it together with other products. When applied to the skin, it feels refreshing and gets absorbed quickly, which is good. Using just this product alone made my skin feel dry, so I used it together with my usual toner and lotion, and my skin looks great without any issues. It seems to help reduce redness, making my skin look better. I liked it so much that I immediately looked for other products in the same line.
Cons
While the advertisement says this all-in-one product can be used alone, when actually used, it feels quite drying. However, it gets absorbed quickly, which is good for applying before putting on a mask right before going to school.

Pros
When you think of soothing gel, the first thing that comes to mind is usually Aloe Vera gel. However, this product is even more durable in terms of packaging and container, and there is absolutely no irritation. It's so non-irritating that you can even apply it to wounded areas without any stinging sensation. The large volume also makes it great for using as a soothing treatment after waxing. Compared to the boring Aloe Vera, the Houttuynia cordata and Centella ingredients are much more effective. As an oily-skinned person, this product is perfect for me.
Cons
I can't really think of any downsides. Even at 18,000 won, if you buy it during a Tony Moly sale, it's not an unreasonably expensive price. The only potential issue might be that since it's a pump bottle, you may not be able to use up the last bit at the bottom. And since there's absolutely no oil content, those with dry skin might find it a bit lacking as a sole moisturizer.
Tip
After outdoor activities in the summer, keep it in the fridge and use it as a cooling massage gel. It's also effective for soothing insect bites and itchiness.

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
1. Gentle Ingredients After checking the Hwahae app, I found that there are no bad ingredients, which is great. These days, I've been getting pimples from wearing masks, so the gentle ingredients really appeal to me. 2. Cooling Sensation In the summer, keeping it in the refrigerator and applying it when my face feels hot, it seems like it would be great to provide a refreshing sensation. 3. Spreadability It spreads very smoothly and softly. It has a slightly watery feel, so it seems just right for application. 4. No Stickiness There's no stickiness at all, and it seems to finish off with a moisturized, non-greasy feel. 5. Generous Amount The amount is more than expected, so it's good not only for the face but also for the body.
Cons
Even though I'm not very sensitive to scents, there is a bit of a fragrance. I thought this gel-type product would be fragrance-free, but it's good to know this information. I'm not extremely sensitive, so it's fine for me, but those who are sensitive to fragrance should consider this.
Tip
Keeping it in the refrigerator in the summer and applying it when your face feels hot would be great. Since it's a gel-type, applying it like a facial massage would help lower the heat and feel good.

Pros
👉 Cooling Sensation: As soon as I applied it, I immediately felt a cooling sensation, which was great for my heated skin after finishing my skincare routine. In the evening, after washing my face, I applied it and felt refreshed. 👉 Soothing: It seems to soothe any blemishes or pimples... It's hard to prove that big pimples didn't come out while using this, but could it be that they didn't appear because of this product? Hmm, haha. 👉 Non-irritating: When I apply fermented products, they tend to sting, but this product had absolutely no irritation, which was surprising. 👉 Scent: Personally, I like it. I enjoy natural scents. ❤️ Recommended for summer, for skin with heat buildup, oily skin, and combination skin.
Cons
👉 It doesn't provide much hydration. It's better to use this as a final step in your skincare routine to soothe the skin, rather than as a standalone product.
Tip
👉 If you use this after completing your basic skincare routine to hydrate the skin, you'll achieve a dewy, supple complexion. This seems like a great product to use in the summer.
