The ingredients are pretty decent too.
ConsThe scent is a bit artificial. Other than that, there's nothing particularly bad about it.

I don't usually have high expectations for toners, so if it meets those two criteria, I'm sold!
ConsThis toner has a slightly thicker consistency. And you know what? It smells just like those cosmetics that used to be sold through door-to-door sales or multi-level marketing back in the day! But don't get me wrong, the scent isn't unpleasant.

(I'd like to show you my skin before use and after two weeks, but since it's only been a week, I'll post that later after using it a bit more.) First, this product advertises the following: • Reduces sebum after 4 weeks of use • Reduces redness after 2 weeks of use • Reduces moisture loss after 2 weeks of use • Reduces blemishes after 4 weeks of use So, I'll tell you what I've experienced based on those claims! 1. The texture is a thin, silky formula that absorbs well. Does anyone know what I mean? Products that balance oil and moisture usually have this feel. It has a texture where you can feel both hydration and richness appropriately. Also, it felt gentle and comfortable, making me think it's a mild product. I have sensitive, acne-prone, combination dehydrated skin. 2. About moisturizing and sebum reduction... After washing my face, I feel hydrated when using this product once. However, after about 10 minutes, I feel some dryness, but when I look in the mirror, my forehead looks smooth without wrinkles. In other words, a single application of this product alone wasn't enough. So, for my night care routine, I applied it twice, followed by a small amount of ampoule and a regenerating cream to finish. Despite this, the good thing was... Before winning The Hwahae Testers, I was using a toner that claimed to reduce sebum. When it decreased sebum production, I felt my skin quickly becoming dry when used alone. However, the Jinyeong Hae toner, despite including sebum-reducing properties, is incredibly hydrating and moisturizing! 3. Redness and blemish reduction I started using this product when my skin was in a very bad condition with 3-4 deep blemishes and a lot of redness. Now, the redness has significantly subsided, and the large blemishes have calmed down. Many of the bumps on my face have also disappeared. And when I put the Jinyeong Hae toner on a cotton pad and placed it on my nose, I could feel the redness calming down significantly even after just one use! (My nose is usually red like a strawberry, and it gets even redder when I have blemishes or irritation.) 4. Price and quantity It's currently selling for around 16,000 won for 2 bottles on Hwahae Compared to the toner I was using before, this seems really good value If it continues to work well after a few more weeks of use, I'd like to keep using it! *Addition (05/21/24) First of all, I like that the price is affordable. It's non-irritating and seems quite effective. Thanks to going foundation-free these days or maybe because of this product, my skin has become smoother, which makes me happy. The redness has also subsided a lot. When applied with a cotton pad, it has a cooling effect that helps reduce heat in the skin. I plan to purchase it myself when I run out.
ConsSome reviews mentioned an artificial scent, but to me, it smelled like Houttuynia cordata! I'm familiar with these scents because I've used so many soothing skincare products It's an herbal scent like the one in Houttuynia cordata toners or Mediheal Madecassoside mask packs. Kind of like a herb scent..! I also noticed that the scent was a bit strong, but it wasn't unpleasant. I don't have any additional complaints. Maybe just the insufficient moisturizing when used alone..? *Addition 05/21/24 My skin has become a bit drier overall, probably because of the sebum control. But for me, who suffers from acne-prone skin, I actually prefer it being a bit drier... sigh And it stings if it gets into your eyes?! I thought it hurt because I wore contact lenses for a long time on some days, but I don't think that's the reason.

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.ProsMy skin type is combination dehydrated. The Hwahae Testers approve: As someone with super sensitive skin that tends to react badly to the wrong products, I was pleasantly surprised. Despite applying this toner generously right after cleansing, my skin didn't freak out at all. This gave me the confidence to use it liberally without worry. Great for hydration: It leaves a refreshing finish even with multiple layers, making it perfect for replenishing moisture in my combination dehydrated skin. Unlike many toners that evaporate quickly or feel like they do nothing, this one gives a noticeable sensation of locking in hydration. Lovely cooling effect: I really appreciate the instant cooling sensation when applying. My skin is prone to redness and easily feels hot, so reducing heat is crucial for my skin type. The long-lasting cooling effect works wonders for calming my skin before applying other products. Generous size: The large volume offers great value, allowing me to use it generously without guilt. I comfortably use it right after cleansing and even soak cotton pads for some extra skin-smoothing action, all while keeping my skin beautifully hydrated.
ConsSlight eye irritation: I experienced a bit of stinging and irritation around my eyes immediately after application. This could be due to my generous application, but I haven't had this issue with other toners when using the same amount. Now I make sure to pat it in quickly around my eye area. Mild scent: There's a slight artificial fragrance to it. I'm usually quite particular about product scents, and while this isn't unscented, the lingering aroma can be a bit noticeable when I apply a lot.
TipThe cooling effect is fantastic for reducing heat and preps skin beautifully before applying cushion foundation - it really helps makeup go on flawlessly!

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.ProsOverall Impression: Despite being a water-based toner, it absorbs quickly and provides excellent hydration even with just one application. The product efficacy is impressive! I found it to be a perfect toner for combination dehydrated skin. Skin Type: Face - Combination, combination dehydrated, sensitive, prone to blemishes Purchase Price/Volume: Received through The Hwahae Testers Looking at the discounted price on Hwahae, it seems to offer great value for money (18,500 won for two 350ml bottles as of 4/5) Usage Period: Used daily for two weeks Packaging: Clean design that doesn't attract dust, making it convenient to handle after washing your face The toner dispenses appropriately in small amounts, preventing spills Texture (Application, Absorption, Hydration, Formula): Formula/Application: It's a water-based toner, with a consistency similar to the Dokdo Toner Absorption: Unlike typical water toners that take time to absorb, this product sinks in quickly, which is convenient Hydration: Even one application provides good moisture. It fulfills its role as a toner perfectly, giving a sensation of deep hydration. It's not just watery, but feels like it has the right balance of oil and moisture (The Dokdo Toner is my holy grail, and while this has a similar texture, I noticed better absorption and hydration) Effects: A toner that effectively balances oil and moisture Recommended Skin Types: Highly recommended for combination dehydrated skin!
ConsDisappointing Aspects / Presence of Irritation / Not Recommended Skin Types: I'm not sure which ingredient caused it, but I felt a slight tingling sensation on areas where I had blemishes. However, it didn't worsen the blemishes or cause irritation The tingling led to a bit of itchiness, which was slightly disappointing in terms of user experience I saw in another review that storing it in the refrigerator helps, so I plan to try that. Also, there's a slight alcohol scent which was a bit disappointing. I personally prefer unscented products I think it might not be suitable for those with extremely oily skin looking for a toner that only provides hydration Also, those with super sensitive skin might not appreciate the tingling sensation As someone with moderately sensitive, combination dehydrated skin, I was satisfied
TipPersonal Usage Tips / Helpful Information: There's no need for multiple layers. Applying it once or twice followed by your usual serum or emulsion works perfectly. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found it ideal to use this product followed by a hydrating, low-oil emulsion (like S Nature Squalane Cream).

After washing my face, I usually get flaky skin and look dull, but this absorbs instantly and makes my lackluster complexion feel a bit more alive. 2. It has a water-like texture and feels refreshing. It's not a thick formula, making it perfect for summer use. 3. The skin absorbs it exceptionally well. 4. I didn't experience any blemishes after applying it. 5. It eliminated the dead skin cells that typically appear when my skin gets dry.
Cons1. Those who prefer thicker formulas might not like this product. 2. The scent could be divisive. I didn't mind it, but it does have an artificial fragrance. 3. It absorbs so quickly that those with very dry skin might still feel parched. 4. For a cosmetic product, the design is a bit... it looks somewhat unfinished. However, its performance is still quite satisfactory.

ConsIt contains fragrance, which gives it an artificial scent. Considering the ingredients, I think this could have been left out.

The excess oil reduced, and my blemishes almost completely subsided. I think with consistent use, my skin will become absolutely amazing!
ConsThe scent isn't as pleasant as I expected, which is a bit disappointing. It has a slightly medicinal smell, not alcoholic, but that distinctive cosmetic fragrance that some products have.
TipWhen I apply this after using toner pads, I notice my acne starts to calm down.
