Texture and application: - The texture is quite fluid, but there's definitely a hint of richness that gives it a nourishing feel. - It applies smoothly due to its lightweight consistency. I especially loved using it as an exfoliating toner - it doesn't evaporate too quickly and provides great hydration! Review: - This product is perfect as a first essence and exfoliating toner combo! It's particularly great for winter use. The fluid texture makes it easy to apply, and it's gentle enough for daily dead skin cell management without causing irritation. After using this, I noticed the tiny bumps on my T-zone disappeared! Plus, it leaves my skin feeling moisturized, creating a perfect canvas for the rest of my skincare routine. My skin feels plump and not at all dry when I layer on other products.
ConsScent: - The fragrance... oh my. As soon as I applied it, I felt like I was getting a skincare treatment at a traditional medicine clinic. The scent does fade a bit over time, but I found it quite challenging to bear. It's somewhat reminiscent of concentrated tree bark. I tried to think of it as a natural scent while using the product!

Many toners I've tried were so light that I could barely tell I'd applied them, but this one manages to be lightweight while still providing hydration, making it easy to use without any burden. Absorbs Well: As expected from a toner, it absorbs quickly. I even repurposed it as an exfoliating toner by putting it in an empty toner pad container. It absorbed well and left my skin feeling moisturized when applied directly. Hydration: This toner is perfect for those who struggle with deep dryness. It really helps combat dehydration! I often have trouble finding toners that address my lack of moisture, but I think I'll be using this one frequently.
ConsWhile everything else was great, the scent is so strong it gives me a headache. If you're sensitive to fragrances or dislike strong scents, you might not be able to use this. It has a somewhat herbal or woody smell that can be a bit overwhelming.
TipThis product works well as an exfoliating toner! I recommend buying empty toner pads and using it as a mask in the morning to reduce puffiness. It's perfect for that!

I've seen significant improvement in my blemishes through the 7-skin method before, so I've continued to apply two different toners two to three times even after my skin improved. The texture is just like water - it has no stickiness and absorbs instantly. Being water-like, I found it excellent for hydration and remarkably effective for soothing my skin.
ConsI'm quite sensitive to fragrances. While the texture and effects were fantastic, the scent was a bit overwhelming for me. It had a strong herbal or ginseng-like aroma, which is why I had to deduct one star. If you're not particularly sensitive to scents, I highly recommend giving this a try.
TipMy routine involves using an exfoliating toner, followed by layering two or three different toners, then applying a serum or essence, and finishing with a soothing or hydrating cream. I used to have severe acne and congested skin, but now my complexion is almost blemish-free. From my experience, I've found that thoroughly hydrating with toners seems to maximize the effectiveness of serums and essences. The Yeonjak Calming Toner works wonderfully both as an exfoliating toner and for layering - I'm really satisfied with its performance!

I thought it might be too light or evaporate quickly, leaving my skin dry. Surprisingly, after application, it doesn't feel dry at all but soft and hydrating. It's not sticky, just lightly moisturizing? So you'll still need to apply a cream afterwards. ♡ After Use It contains PHA for gentle dead skin cell removal, so I used it only in the evenings for about 3 days. I didn't experience any irritation or blemishes at all. Instead, it seemed to work on my dead skin cells overnight, as I noticed my skin felt smoother, more supple, and hydrated when cleansing in the morning.
ConsIt has a herbal scent. It's not overpowering, just subtle, but those who dislike herbal fragrances might find it hit or miss.
TipIf you apply this toner before bed followed by a hydrating cream, you'll wake up to a more even complexion and smoother skin texture!

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.ProsSkin condition when using the product: - Inflammatory acne - Uneven skin texture due to acne-related inflammation and dead skin cells - Presence of small bumps 1. Skin texture and dead skin cell management Contains PHA, making it an effective daily exfoliator even for sensitive skin. This is where I saw the most benefits! My skin was plagued with acne and inflammation, causing flakiness, but it became as smooth as a baby's and my skin texture improved significantly. 2. Calming inflammation The Sophora Root Extract provides noticeable soothing effects. Apparently, it has cooling properties that help calm and protect the skin! While it does have a slight herbal scent, it was more effective at soothing inflammation compared to other toner pads. I initially used it alongside a cica toner pad but found this product alone worked faster to calm my skin and improve its texture! 3. Refreshing and hydrating Compared to other toners, this one leaves a clean finish and decent moisture level! It doesn't leave a sticky residue that makes your hair stick to your face, and it even feels slightly refreshing. Yet, it's not lacking in hydration, so on days when my skin felt congested, I could get by with just this toner. 4. Specialized for sensitive skin Silicon-free, passed sensitivity tests, free from 20 harmful ingredients, etc. As someone with sensitive skin, I thoroughly checked the website and was pleased with the ingredients and certifications. Despite my initial concerns, my sensitive skin actually improved, so I'm using this product with great satisfaction.
Cons1. Scent The main ingredient, Sophora Root Extract, does have a strong scent. It has a bit of an herbal smell, but the product's performance is good enough that I don't mind using it. Honestly, the scent is only noticeable during application and doesn't linger on your face for long (personal opinion). 2. Bottle cap (toner dispensing part) As someone who likes to use a generous amount of toner at once (I pour it into my palm), I found the dispensing a bit slow and frustrating. It would be nice if they could improve the cap design.
TipToner pack: Applying it as a pack with a cotton pad soaked in toner on areas with more inflammation seemed to soothe the skin faster. For those with sensitive skin, patting with hands is better than using exfoliating toner pads! As someone with sensitive skin, using exfoliating toner with cotton pads tends to irritate my skin and worsen its condition. Even though this is a gentle toner and I tried using soft pads, it still didn't work for me. I prefer pouring an appropriate amount into my hands and patting it onto my face! It absorbs well and is less irritating. I only used it as an exfoliating toner on the first day, then continued applying it with my hands afterward.

Even with just one application, there's no dryness or deep tightness. My skin became moisturized and soft. However, when I applied foundation after using just this, while my skin wasn't dry, it did seem to sit a bit on top of my skin... 2. The texture is completely watery. Maybe that's why it absorbs so well into the skin! The quantity was surprisingly generous, but because of the watery texture, I went through it quickly. I think I used it up even faster because I did a daily toner mask routine with cotton pads. 3. My skin did improve! The large blemishes and small bumps went away, and now only the marks remain! But I'm not sure if it's because I've been washing my face more thoroughly and frequently, or if it's because this toner is so good. Either way, my skin has improved and I'm really happy about it!
Cons1. The scent was really strange. It wasn't an artificial fragrance, but it smelled like grass or mugwort. When I'm doing a toner mask, the smell is unbearable.. I think it might be because I'm sensitive to scents. 2. Well.. it's surprisingly heavy? But not so heavy that you can't lift it. It's more like 'Oh, this is heavier than I expected'. To be honest, it didn't really bother me. I think it's the bottle that's heavy.
TipToner masks are amazing! But you do go through the product quickly.

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.ProsPackaging: The packaging is elegantly minimalist, and when I first opened the lid, I found an additional seal which instilled confidence in the product's quality. Texture: I was initially concerned that the toner's watery consistency might lack sufficient moisture. However, contrary to my worries, it leaves just the right amount of hydration for a toner when applied. I dislike the tight, dry feeling some products leave, but this one maintains a comfortable level of hydration. Blemishes: Although I typically don't react well to stearic acid and fermented cosmetics, I was pleasantly surprised. Despite my initial concerns about it being a fermented product, I haven't experienced any itching or blemishes. However, I'll need to observe a bit longer to be certain about its effects on blemishes.
ConsScent: Well... it has a distinct herbal fragrance, reminiscent of those traditional herbal shampoos. While this scent might appeal more to mature users, it wasn't to my personal liking. Texture: The consistency is quite watery, so it tends to drip if applied directly from hand to face. It's advisable to use a cotton pad for application.
TipMake sure to use a cotton pad when applying!

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.ProsBefore and after using it, I'm glad I didn't experience any blemishes. I have my own skincare routine: In the morning, I cleanse well, then use this like an exfoliating toner on a cotton pad to refine my skin texture. When I get home in the evening, I do a thorough double cleanse and use the exfoliating toner again. I've actually decanted some into a perfume bottle from Daiso to use as a mist. It feels hydrating after use, which I love. I'm only using this toner without any additional creams, haha! I wanted to give you an accurate review of this product's pros and cons. The texture is watery and looks like flat cola. I was worried it might tint my skin that color, but don't worry - that was just my imagination! Oh, and when you first unbox it, the cap looks like it's screaming 'Open me!', but you just need to twist it off. I initially thought it was a bubble toner!
ConsThe scent might be hit or miss. For me, it was a miss... But what can you do? It didn't cause any blemishes, just the scent I didn't like. I guess that could be seen as a positive in a way.
TipFeel free to use the exfoliating toner however works best for you!

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.ProsPlease refer to the photos showing the product, before use, during use, and after use! I have dry skin that's almost neutral. However, lately my skin has become a bit blotchy, possibly due to my pillowcase. ✔️ The completely water-based formula is perfect for toner masking! I usually prefer using toners as masks rather than patting them in. On busy mornings, I apply it while drying my hair. It absorbs quickly, calms the skin, and provides a cooling effect, making it great for pre-makeup prep! I use it the same way in the evenings too. This toner is easily absorbed by cotton pads, and you use less product compared to thicker formulas, which I appreciate. ✔️ Excellent hydration and cooling effects! While cooling is expected from a toner, I was pleasantly surprised by how hydrating it is! With the changing seasons making my skin fussy, I was considering layering multiple products. But after toner masking and letting it absorb, I found I didn't need much else! On lazy days, I just use this toner, and only add serums when I'm feeling more diligent. ✔️ A versatile, soothing toner that's easy to use! First off, I had no issues with how it feels on the skin. The tinted formula also makes it easy to see how much has been absorbed into the cotton pad. With so many great products on the market, even small flaws stand out, but this toner has none - I'm finding it very useful! While the photos don't show a dramatic change, you can see the calming effect! If you apply makeup after using this, your skin stays hydrated all day! ❗️ The redness in the 'after' photo is due to me wiping my face with the remaining toner on the pad, causing some irritation. This doesn't happen when I just use it as a toner mask!
ConsWhile there's not much to complain about, if I had to pick one thing... 🥲 It has a herbal skincare scent I'm not particularly sensitive to skincare scents, so I use it without issues. However, those who dislike herbal fragrances might find it uncomfortable to use. Especially if you use it as a toner mask like me, you'll be smelling it the entire time it's on your face... so that's something to consider.
TipI find this toner perfect for skin masking. I soak a Fillimilli 1/2 cotton pad and apply it to my forehead, cheeks, nose, and below my lips. After drying my hair (you can leave it on for up to 20 minutes if you've soaked the pad generously!), remove the pads and gently wipe your face. The remaining toner will drip from the pads. Then, pat it into your skin with your hands to maximize hydration!

It has a lightweight, water-like texture, but surprisingly good hydration. When you soak a cotton pad and use it as an exfoliating toner, it's especially effective at smoothing out your skin texture.
ConsThe scent is a bit reminiscent of herbal medicine or ginseng. Most skincare products these days are unscented or have a subtle floral fragrance, so I was surprised by the strong medicinal smell, reminiscent of my parents' cosmetics. The scent dissipates quickly, but it might be a bit startling at first.
TipIf you soak a cotton pad and leave it on areas with dead skin cells for about 10 minutes, it really helps to calm and smooth out the skin.
