Although the formula is lightweight, it provides good hydration, and even layering it two or three times absorbs quickly, which is convenient. * Soothing effect I don't store it in a cool place, but it gives a refreshing sensation when applied. It's great for calming irritated skin after cleansing. * Fragrance The scent is stronger compared to other brands. It's intense but not artificial - a herbal scent that lifts my mood every time I apply it. I'm satisfied with the luxurious feel of the color, fragrance, texture, and packaging.
ConsIf I had to point out a downside, it would be that the price is quite high for the amount you get. It's a bit expensive to use as a regular part of my routine.

Even a slight imbalance can cause breakouts, but this calming toner works well for my sensitive skin. It also controls oil, making it easy to apply the next skincare steps. After cleansing, it maintains moisture. Especially since it's a product that's clinically proven for instant soothing, it has a cooling effect that feels refreshing and hydrating. Even after applying moisturizer a few minutes later, my skin doesn't feel dry, which is great. Containing PHA, it gives a sense of refining the skin. It's perfect for exfoliation during seasonal changes, especially with the current extreme temperature fluctuations. I'm using it at just the right time. I thought the amount might be small for the price, but it's actually more than expected. Using it morning and evening after cleansing, I think it'll last about 3 months in my case.
ConsThe scent might be divisive. As soon as I smelled it, it reminded me of ink grinding... It's similar to an ink or wood scent. I personally like it, but others might not. The price is admittedly quite high.
TipWhile I mentioned it's perfect for seasonal transitions, I think it would be great to use all year round. In spring and fall, it helps with dead skin cells, in summer it controls oil, and in winter it helps with dryness. It's a versatile toner for all seasons.

After using this product for a week, almost all of those blemishes have disappeared! The soothing effect is truly impressive. My family tried it too, and they also noticed how well it cleared up their blemishes! 📍Application Since it has a watery consistency, I found it easier to apply using a cotton pad. It goes on cool and light! After use, there's no sticky feeling, and it absorbs well. This allows my skincare and base makeup to apply smoothly, creating a solid foundation for the rest of my makeup routine. 📍Scent While the scent might be divisive, I personally enjoy it! It has a subtle herbal aroma, but it's not overpowering or artificial. The scent is only noticeable during application, so even if you're not a fan of fragrances, you should be able to use this comfortably. 📍I was pleasantly surprised by the packaging when this product arrived. It was so well-protected that I could tell they take their packaging seriously! I've had experiences with glass toners or cosmetics from other places arriving broken, but this packaging is absolutely top-notch. There's no way it could break during shipping!
ConsThe downside is that the product is quite expensive, so I feel like I'll need to use it sparingly. While the product itself is excellent, it might be a bit pricey to use as an everyday toner. It could be a bit burdensome for students to purchase regularly.

It absorbs well without sitting on top of the skin, making application a breeze. What I love even more is that it contains PHA, which is gentle on the skin and helps with dead skin cell care. This means I don't need to use any physical exfoliants - the toner is sufficient on its own, which is so convenient. It's said to be safe for super sensitive skin too, so I've been using it diligently with confidence. It seems great for calming the skin as well. I don't leave it on for too long, just a few minutes as a toner mask, and it works wonderfully for my skin.
ConsI haven't found any downsides while using this product - I'm really enjoying it!
TipUsing it as a toner mask is fantastic for calming 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.

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• Texture First off, the texture flows well and truly feels like the epitome of a toner. Perfect for an exfoliating toner! It's not oily and has a clear consistency. • Hydration After cleansing with this product, you can definitely feel it replenishing moisture! However, if you have dry skin, this toner alone might not be enough! • Soothing While using this product, there's a slight cooling effect, which seemed to help with redness and soothing! However, it didn't necessarily reduce blemishes! One concern I had while using it was the color of the product, but don't worry! It doesn't stain your face! The advantage of this product is that, as you can see from the ingredients, it's made with all good components, so it seems you can use it without worry! So I recommend this to people looking for a toner or basic skincare product with good ingredients, or those seeking a toner or basic product with great hydration!
ConsThe downside is that I can't help but think it's too expensive... Also, the scent has a medicinal herb-like smell, so it might be quite divisive... I guess because they use a lot of good ingredients, that affects both the price and the scent! It's a drawback that's also kind of an advantage!

Although this toner has a water-like consistency, it moisturizes like a more viscous toner, effectively addressing deep dryness. As someone who's been cautious with skincare since visiting a dermatologist, I appreciate that this toner doesn't have a harsh, stinging sensation, but rather a soothing, cooling effect. Additionally, it has a noticeable calming effect when applied to painful, inflamed blemishes.
ConsThe strong herbal scent might not be for everyone, but it's tolerable if the product benefits the skin. The high price point makes me hesitant about repurchasing. However, the luxurious packaging makes it an excellent gift option.
TipI use a cotton pad to apply the toner, allowing it to absorb fully into my skin.

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!

With its water-like texture, it's free from stickiness, making it easy to use. Even without refrigerating, I felt a cool sensation when applying. I was curious if it had a cooling effect, and indeed, it helps to instantly soothe skin heat and calm skin irritated by heat! It seems particularly beneficial for skin frequently exposed to UV rays during summer. The ingredients are mild and free from harmful components, making it great for worry-free use after cleansing. Containing PHA, it's effective for evening skin texture and caring for dead skin cells. Usually, such ingredients are found in cleansing products, but this toner incorporates them, allowing for effective dead skin cell care with just the toner alone.
ConsThe scent might be polarizing. It reminds me of herbal medicine, so I wouldn't recommend it to those sensitive to fragrances or who find such scents overwhelming.
TipUsing it as an exfoliating toner can be even more effective for improving skin texture and caring for dead skin cells.
