It preps the skin perfectly for the next essence step, allowing better absorption. I'm really satisfied with this exfoliating toner.
ConsThe price is a bit on the higher side. While the glass bottle is heavy, it's great for product preservation, so I can't complain.
TipDon't use it wastefully. I apply it with Silcot cotton pads for efficient application.

That's when I truly appreciated this toner's hydrating power. With regular use, it refines skin texture and brightens the complexion. ✔️Luxurious packaging: Befitting its price point, the opaque glass bottle with a simple design blends seamlessly with any decor. ✔️Versatile toner: Unlike most toners that are either exfoliating or thick and slimy, this one has a perfect consistency. You can use it as an exfoliating toner with a cotton pad or simply pat it into your skin with your hands for excellent absorption.
Cons✔️Polarizing scent: I personally enjoy the herbal medicinal scent, which I feel represents the toner's natural identity without artificial additives. However, some people might not like it. It smells like the expensive, traditionally brewed herbal toners sold in Oriental medicine clinics. ✔️Gradual results: You won't see a 'wow' effect after just one application. However, with prolonged use, you'll feel it strengthening your skin barrier from within. I highly recommend using it consistently for best results.
Tip✔️When layered and gently patted into the skin multiple times, it gives the impression of brightening your complexion by a shade. It also helps subsequent skincare products absorb better.

It's versatile and great for all-around use. After cleansing, it's perfect for smoothing skin texture when applied with a cotton pad. I also found that placing toner-soaked pads on dry areas leaves the skin beautifully hydrated.
ConsWhile I don't mind the herbal scent, I was a bit concerned about the deep color potentially staining my skin.
TipAfter removing blackheads, if you place a toner-soaked pad on your reddened nose, it quickly calms and hydrates the skin.

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.

It's thin enough to use as an exfoliating toner with a cotton pad, making it versatile for various uses. Absorption: I kept it in the fridge and found it refreshingly cool and well-absorbing. It's not sticky and doesn't leave an oily residue, giving a pleasant, fresh feeling. Effectiveness: I was worried because of my sensitive skin, but I'm thrilled to see it smooths my skin texture and provides hydration without causing any blemishes. The bottle is quite luxurious - it makes me feel pampered! I plan to reuse it once it's empty.
ConsThe scent... it's reminiscent of herbal medicine. I don't mind it, but I wonder, 'Will this clash oddly with other base makeup scents when layered?' It might be a love-it-or-hate-it situation for some.
TipPro tip: Saturate a cotton pad generously and use it like a toner pad or mask. Gently wipe to exfoliate and refine 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.ProsFirst off, since it contains PHA, it makes your skin texture incredibly smooth when applied. I have sensitive skin, and usually when I use exfoliating ingredients, my skin gets painful, red, and my skin barrier completely breaks down, but this one was fine! It also has a slight richness, so when you apply it, your skin gets a glow like a peeled egg, and maybe because of this glow, your skin looks plump after application. I absolutely loved this aspect! The richness isn't overwhelming but just right, so it's quite moisturizing, and it absorbs well. However, as you're working it in, you might notice a slight white foam forming. It's not enough to be bothersome though! When used as a toner pack, it helps reduce skin heat, making it great for calming redness. Since it doesn't cause my skin to react negatively after use, I think it's a product that's good for everyday, hassle-free use.
ConsHowever, the price point seems a bit high for such an everyday product... And I couldn't really feel any significant effect on blemish soothing, unfortunately!

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.
