As someone with dry skin, I rarely use water toners or even the 7-skin method, but this one stands out for its hydrating properties! While it might not be suitable for the full 7-skin routine, it's perfect for multiple layers of hydration! You can really feel the moisture being replenished! Vitamin C Boost: With 8 times more vitamin C than lemons, this toner promises to improve your complexion! Those who love antioxidants will absolutely adore this product. I even recommended it to my mom, and she fell in love with it! She was particularly impressed by the ingredients.
ConsRecommendedThe fragrance is a bit disappointing... It would have been perfect if it had a more pleasant scent.

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.ProsIt has a slight viscosity, so I prefer applying it directly with my hands. I gently press it onto my skin using the warmth of my palms, and I love that the hydration doesn't evaporate quickly.
ConsThe container looks pretty, but unfortunately it has the type of opening I dislike. That's why I've transferred it to a glass bottle with a dropper. Other than that, I have no complaints.
TipRecommendedSince it's not just a watery toner, it's great even with a single application. When you gently press it onto your skin with your palms, it doesn't cause any irritation and feels wonderful.

Layering it twice gives you a perfect balance of oil and moisture. As an ampoule toner, it has a slight richness that's great for layering in this season. It's so gentle that when my skin is super sensitive, I just layer this and go straight to moisturizer.
ConsRecommendedThe downside? It doesn't quite tackle deep dryness. No matter how much I layer, my skin still feels dry again in this parched weather. I wouldn't recommend it if you're specifically looking to combat deep dehydration.

I first smooth it on with a cotton pad, then apply another layer. Highly recommended!
ConsThere's nothing to dislike, it's really great! If I had to nitpick, maybe the packaging? I personally prefer a pump dispenser.
TipRecommendedAfter smoothing it with a cotton pad, layer it again for extra hydration.

It has just enough viscosity to make application easy. After applying, my skin feels clean and fresh without any stickiness - almost like a squeaky-clean sensation? It goes on smoothly, absorbs well, and is overall pleasant to use.
ConsRecommendedIt's a straightforward, everyday toner that works well for daily use. I can't really think of any downsides!

So you can apply it without any bothersome smell. The brown color gives it a healthier toner vibe. - Texture: It's close to a water-like consistency, but it's not just plain water when you think about absorption and after-feel! It's a watery formula that leaves your skin feeling moisturized and doesn't dry out easily. - Hydration: As my face was getting colder and feeling more dry, I really needed hydration. I usually skip toner and just use serum + cream, but I got this toner as a gift and tried it - it's so moisturizing! I used to think toners were ineffective, but this one feels like it's really locking in the moisture, so I'm using it well. - Packaging: It's a typical toner bottle! When you flip it over to apply on a cotton pad, it doesn't gush out. However, the opening might be a bit too small, which can be slightly frustrating. - Value for money: Since I don't usually use toners, I'm not sure, but at around 24,000 won for not a huge amount, it might be slightly on the pricey side. - Oil content: As mentioned in the hydration section, there's almost no oiliness! Even if there is, it's just the right amount. It doesn't feel heavy on the skin.
ConsRecommendedThere's nothing particularly bad! If I had to pick one thing, it might be the price and that when dispensing onto a cotton pad, only a small amount comes out at a time.
