After winning this product and using it instead of my usual serum, I definitely noticed my skin became more supple. It felt comfortable, which I really liked. Even my blemishes went away...! While my skin hasn't completely returned to its former glory, I'm satisfied with this level of improvement during the changing seasons. My boyfriend has sensitive, acne-prone skin, so I only recommend products that I've tried and really loved. I brought this over to him on the weekend, raving about how hydrating and amazing it was for me. (Though it seems he was just so-so about it, as he didn't say much)
ConsI don't have any complaints yet. To be honest, I think you need to use a skincare product consistently for a month to accurately gauge its effectiveness or any packaging issues. + After using it more, I noticed my skin gets a bit dry in the afternoon as the weather turns cooler. The eye area feels tight. I might need to add another serum or make some changes to my skincare routine. Oh well... it's good otherwise...
TipIt's hydrating, which makes it great for mixing with The Ordinary Niacinamide powder

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.ProsFirst off, the name 'Soothing Ampoule in Toner' appealed to my incredibly lazy self. It suggested simplicity among the countless skincare products out there, like it was cutting out a step or two. Haha! I love when I find a skincare product with a scent I enjoy, which usually requires extensive searching and testing. This product has a fragrance I adore - it's similar to aloe vera. The texture is slightly thinner than an aloe soothing gel. It definitely feels like more than just a toner. Since it contains a soothing ampoule, I feel it provides more hydration than a regular toner alone. My skin feels more moisturized and soft after use. The pump dispenser makes it super convenient to use!
ConsThe main drawback is that it leaves a sticky residue. While it does diminish over time, it doesn't completely disappear, and some stickiness remains. The feeling lingers on my hands too, making me want to wash them right after application. Apart from that, I haven't found any other significant issues yet. Oh, and one more thing - the name is a bit of a tongue twister...

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's highly hydrating yet not sticky, and absorbs quickly into the skin. As someone with super sensitive skin prone to blemishes or redness when using the wrong products, I found this to be gentle and non-irritating. It's more convenient than a runny toner since you can use it with a pump. While it might not be strong enough as an exfoliating toner, it's a great standalone product for those with oily skin.
ConsAt first, I thought it was a toner, but the texture is closer to an ampoule than a water-like toner! I can't deny that the scent was a bit strong for me initially. However, it wasn't artificial or like added fragrance.
TipIt works great as a mask too - just pump some onto a thin gauze cotton pad and place it on your skin.

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's moisturizing without feeling greasy and absorbs extremely well! As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I need products with hydration to keep my skin in check. This is great even when used before makeup - no pilling at all! The texture is slightly runny, but not so much that it drips, making it easy to apply. It feels like a hybrid between a toner and an essence? The pump dispenses just the right amount, which is convenient. There's no irritation, so it's comfortable to use even right after exfoliating dead skin cells.
ConsThe scent is more noticeable than expected! It's somewhere between aloe and herbal - quite divisive, to be honest. While I found it refreshing, I know some people feel uncomfortable applying a toner with a fragrance.
TipIt's great for soothing skin when it feels hot - just soak a cotton pad and apply! Using it chilled is also nice. Layering it bit by bit leaves your skin feeling moisturized for a long time without any greasiness. Works hard to keep that hydration locked in!

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.ProsFirst off, I loved that the texture wasn't overwhelming - it's like a runny essence, if you will! While it's called a toner, it's closer to an ampoule, so it might be tricky to use with a cotton pad for wiping. I use it as my first serum after my exfoliating toner. When you pump it onto your face, it spreads easily, almost transforming into a water-like consistency. It's super easy to apply! After application, I felt my skin calming down. I have some redness on my cheeks, and this seemed to reduce the heat in my skin. I bet it would work wonders in summer! Some people mentioned a strong scent, but I didn't find it bothersome at all.
ConsThe hydration level is a bit disappointing. I have combination skin - my U-zone is closer to normal-dry while my T-zone is oily. Using this alone in the essence step felt insufficient. It's like the surface is slightly sticky, but underneath feels a bit dry. Also, it absorbs rather slowly, so you need to pat it in for a while to get rid of the stickiness.
TipIt's a great product as your first serum after an exfoliating toner. For me, it wasn't quite enough on its own, so I added another essence and a hydrating cream, which worked perfectly. If you don't use an exfoliating toner, you could keep this in your bathroom and apply it right after cleansing.

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.ProsFirst off, I love that it's vegan. The texture is a thin, serum-like consistency, living up to its 'soothing' name with a noticeable hydrating effect. Unlike watery toners that can leave your skin feeling tight after a while, this serum-like formula provides longer-lasting hydration. They mention using a 'moisture layering technology' - I'm not sure what that means exactly, but it seems to help maintain that moisturized feeling. The pump-top bottle is more convenient than the typical toner bottles you have to flip upside down. I appreciate that the bottle is lightweight and transparent, so you can see how much product is left. Even the paper packaging is made from recycled materials!
ConsThere's one ingredient to be cautious about - fragrance. Looking at reviews, it seems the scent is hit or miss for some people. I wonder if it was really necessary to include it. Personally, I didn't find the fragrance off-putting. As for the price, it's on the expensive side for a toner, but considering it's more like a generous-sized serum, it's not too bad. Lastly, I didn't really notice any cooling effect as claimed.
TipThis isn't exactly a pro tip, but more of a cautionary note: While my skin is fine with layering watery toners multiple times, I've noticed that layering serum-like toners like this one tends to cause breakouts for me. Keep in mind that this can vary depending on your skin type, so just take it as a reference. If you want to experience a true cooling effect, try storing it in the refrigerator!

It might be great for those with combination dehydrated skin who find regular moisturizers too heavy! - Scent: It seems to be fragrance-free! I didn't notice any particular off-putting smell. - Packaging: The eco-friendly packaging makes it more trustworthy! - Convenience: It's so handy having toner and ampoule functions in one bottle! You can complete both the toner and ampoule steps in one go!
ConsI can't say I noticed any special functions or outstanding features. It feels like it just meets the bare minimum requirements, nothing more, nothing less!

Perfect for a light application in summer. 2. Maintains a hydrated, dewy feel. 3. The container is user-friendly. 4. During summer vacations, it cooled my heat-exhausted face, neck, arms, and hands. (More hydrating than aloe essence) 5. Non-irritating. While most cooling products are high in alcohol content, aloe products with low alcohol tend to dry quickly after application. However, this product offers a moderate cooling effect and keeps skin moisturized long after application. It's great for maintaining hydration on hot, sweaty skin after swimming or exercising in summer. In the morning, I just rinse with water, pat on some Aqua Bonbon, apply sunscreen, and I'm ready to go! It would be nice if this type of product had a cool or niche scent to mask sweat odor, but it's fragrance-free. The runny texture makes it difficult to use as an exfoliating toner, but it's perfect to keep within reach for reapplying to dry skin throughout the day!
Cons1. While the container is convenient, the packaging design feels too lightweight. 2. The cooling effect doesn't live up to the product's main selling point. 3. It's only suitable for one season. 4. It's fragrance-free.
TipI mix it with cream for gua sha. It allows for a very smooth massage and leaves skin hydrated, not greasy, even after wiping off the cream. After using it a few times, I always keep it nearby during gua sha massages to replenish as needed.

I thought it might have a runny texture, but it applies like water. At first, it feels like a serum, but it absorbs as fast as a toner, leaving a refreshing finish. I like that it doesn't have any particular scent, so it's not off-putting. The pump packaging makes it convenient to use.
ConsThe downside is that it's not quite enough when used alone. It's more of a product for gentle, basic use rather than something with noticeable effects.
TipIt works well when used together with a hydrating moisturizer.

The pump bottle makes it easy to control the amount, which I really appreciate. What I like most is how gentle it is on my sensitive skin - no reactions whatsoever!
ConsI honestly can't find any downsides! I'll likely repurchase when I run out.
TipIt's so hydrating that even when my skin feels dry after a toner mask, I can skip emulsion! It works hard to keep my skin moisturized!
