ConsIt didn't seem to soothe my skin very well, and I don't think it addressed my deep dryness effectively.

The texture is heavier than a typical toner but lighter than an ampoule - it's right in between! In other words, it's a blend of the two. The consistency is slightly runny, almost like a thin serum. Scent: It's a fragrance I haven't encountered in a while. It reminds me of cosmetics from my childhood - like my mom's old skin toner scent. I love it both for its pleasant aroma and the nostalgic memories it evokes. However, those sensitive to fragrances might not appreciate it as much. Highlights: After using an exfoliating toner, this product seems to help combat deep dryness. I also enjoyed keeping it in the fridge and patting it on after a shower - it brought back fond memories! The scent, reminiscent of my mom's old skin toner, made my skin feel moisturized while evoking nostalgia. I recommend giving this a try! (This is my personal opinion)
ConsHydration: I want to address the disappointing aspect of hydration. As someone with dry skin, I find base products crucial. When I replaced my usual toner with this, I noticed significant dryness. I would have understood if it were just a toner, but being a toner-ampoule, I expected it to address deep dryness. I was surprised to feel such dryness just from changing this one product in my routine.
TipThe texture is a bit heavy to use as an exfoliating toner, so I recommend using a regular exfoliating toner first, followed by this product as a second step!

Over two weeks of use, I noticed the difference in how it feels in summer versus autumn weather. In summer, this product alone was sufficient for moisturizing after a light morning cleanse. As the weather became drier during the seasonal change, I found that applying just this product after my morning cleanse provided enough hydration to last about an hour without needing to layer other products. It's definitely more satisfying in terms of moisturizing power compared to regular toners, probably because it's an ampoule toner.
ConsThe price point might be a bit steep for some people.

ConsThere's nothing, nothing, nothing bad to say! I liked everything about it, and the scent is just slightly noticeable but not at all bothersome!

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.Pros* First off, eco-friendly packaging! Many cosmetics still come wrapped in plastic, but this one deserves praise for its sustainable approach! * The twist-open cap might be a bit fiddly, but the pump dispenser is a great feature. The semi-transparent bottle also makes it easy to check how much product is left. * There's a slight stickiness, but it's fine by my standards. In summer, I prefer a light application, but now that it's getting cooler, using this alone isn't quite enough. But who only uses toner anyway?! I finished my skincare routine with this, followed by an emulsion or cream! * It doesn't drip or run, which makes application convenient. * It's hydrating and doesn't cause blemishes, making it a highly recommended skincare product for the cooler months!
Cons* After searching online, I couldn't find any websites currently selling it, and the Hwahae app lists it at 30,000 won, which seems a bit pricey. * The presence of ampoule ingredients might make it feel slightly sticky, but I found it acceptable.
TipIf you dislike layering multiple skincare products but find that just toner and emulsion aren't enough, give this a try!

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.ProsAfter trying it out, I definitely felt that it was gentle and non-irritating! It's not a snotty texture, but a light, watery consistency. This makes it great as an exfoliating toner or for direct application. However, for those with sensitive skin, it might be better to apply it directly rather than using a cotton pad, to avoid potential irritation. I personally used it as an exfoliating toner for dead skin cell removal. Whether you wipe it on or apply it directly, it's incredibly hydrating!
ConsTo be honest, I can't think of any downsides. If I had to nitpick, I'd say the only drawback is the small size. Please make it in a larger volume!
TipI use it as an exfoliating toner.

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.ProsPersonally, I've always preferred light and gentle products as I dislike anything too sticky or heavy. This one immediately felt gentle and lightweight when I first applied it - exactly what I was looking for. It provides hydration without being heavy, making it a great toner for generous application without any burden. The absorption is also quite good; it drinks right in after a few pats. I'd recommend this to anyone needing a gentle toner to provide hydration in summer, or those looking for a toner to layer generously for moisture in winter without feeling heavy. The scent, which is also important to me, has a faint, pleasant shower cologne-like fragrance that's quite refreshing. The packaging is clean and cool-looking, which is aesthetically pleasing too.
ConsI was already using another toner, but fortunately, this one had a different consistency and moisture level, so I could use it as a single layer alongside my existing one. However, when using this toner alone, I felt I needed to apply about two layers to really feel the hydration kick in. It wasn't a major concern for me as it's not a particularly dry season yet and I don't have dry skin, but those with dry skin might need to layer it several times or use additional moisturizers or serums. Also, it's a pump bottle, and a drop tends to splash out with each pump, which can get on clothes or the floor. I had to be careful about that, but it didn't end up being a significant issue.
TipI recommend applying it lightly in the morning and using a bit more at night to continuously replenish moisture. You'll notice your skin looking clearer the next day. Hydration is a wonderful and valuable element for keeping dead skin cells at bay, so I suggest giving this method a try. Of course, consistent care is essential for all skincare, so don't expect dramatic results in a short time.

Can be used as a serum substitute As someone with oily skin, I found this toner with a thicker consistency to be perfect! Usually, when I apply toner and then serum, it feels a bit heavy during absorption. But with this, I could use it lightly as both a toner and serum. 2. Skin-friendly ingredients According to the Hwahae app, the ingredients are gentle. I've been using it without any blemishes!! 3. Packaging (pump and transparency) I prefer pump bottles over jars for hygiene reasons, and this one allows for clean and easy use!! Also, I love that I can check how much product is left through the transparent bottle~! 4. No pilling with makeup On busy mornings, if my skincare is too thick, my makeup can pill. But with this, there's no pilling. I just pat this on, follow with an emulsion, and my makeup applies beautifully and stays put.
Cons1. Fragrance Personally, I find the scent a bit too strong... It's like a strong aqua perfume scent wafting around. I know the ingredients are gentle, but the strong fragrance makes me question, 'Is this really mild?' Apart from the fragrance, I can't really point out any other downsides!! It's a product you can use comfortably without any issues. If I could give it 4.5 stars, I'd rate it 4.5/5!

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. The texture is a bit heavier than a thick toner but lighter than an ampoule essence. You can layer it multiple times without feeling heavy. I recommend it for those who want a light base skincare routine in summer. While I don't typically have redness, so I can't speak to its calming effects, I did notice that the blemishes on my shoulders and back seemed to subside a bit. I saw reviews mentioning a strong scent, but I found it fine. It's actually milder than some other products.
ConsAs someone with combination dehydrated skin leaning towards dry, this alone wasn't hydrating enough. Perhaps due to the changing seasons, even after layering it three times, my skin felt dry and I developed small blemishes. You need to use other skincare steps before and after this product. Also, given its texture, it doesn't seem suitable for use as a toner.

It's neither a watery toner nor a thick, mucus-like consistency, making it perfect for adding hydration without feeling heavy! It's great for keeping my skin from drying out while I'm doing other things after showering. Despite its lightweight texture, it seems to provide quite good hydration. It's truly an excellent product for daily use. I believe the biggest advantage of a skincare item is being gentle without irritation, and this product seems to fit that description perfectly.
ConsThe fragrance...! I feel it could do without it. It seems almost out of place with the product's fresh and gentle effectiveness. I think it would be even better if it were fragrance-free.
TipAfter showering, while I'm drying my hair or doing something else briefly, I quickly spray this on my face and spread it. It keeps my skin moisturized for quite a long time. I didn't think it had any extraordinary features, but that's actually why I end up using it every day.
