(Great for combination dehydrated skin, especially if you struggle with oily absorption) I'm satisfied with the moisturizing power as recommended. As autumn approached, I felt the need to add more hydration to my lightweight skincare routine. But I didn't want anything too heavy that would make my skin greasy or not absorb well! I've been using a hydrating ampoule, serum, and soothing cream as my base routine. Adding this Cross Barrier Toner, which has a water emulsion-like texture, provided just the right amount of lightweight moisture. It's perfect! ☆ Gentle There's hardly any scent, and I didn't experience any blemishes.
Cons★ The product container is quite thick, making it a bit uncomfortable to hold and use. I realized there's a reason why cosmetic containers are often slim and long. If it were a pump-type, it wouldn't have been an issue, but since you need to hold and shake out the product, I personally found it a bit inconvenient.
TipFor those looking for a light skincare routine, I recommend using a hydrating ampoule to combat deep dryness, followed by this Cross Barrier Toner. It should be just right!

It doesn't run too much, so there's less spillage when applying to the face. It's not thick either, so even oily skin types might find it has a light touch. @Packaging@ The bottle is really pretty. I was curious how to dispense it, but it's not a gush-out type. If it seems stuck, a gentle squeeze does the trick - so convenient! @Soothing/Ingredients@ With my sensitive skin that usually reacts with heat or itching, this product suited me well! It felt soothing, and even without my usual calming ampoule, I could feel the redness subsiding with each application. (Though the soothing effect didn't last too long...) @Hydration@ As the texture is a bit heavy, it's quite hydrating. It might be heavy for oily skin, but after a deep cleanse, it feels like it locks in moisture well for a solid skincare base. I think it would be great for dry skin types! @Value for money/Price@ At first glance, it seemed pricey, but after using it, I found a little goes a long way, so it's not bad. The volume isn't small either, it covers well with minimal product... Given the gentle ingredients, I think the price is reasonable.
Cons@Scent@ At first, I thought it might be unscented, but there's a bit of a musty smell. Whether it's from the raw ingredients or fragrance... there's a strange, musty scent that subtly rises. It's only noticeable if you smell very closely, so it's not bothersome, but personally, I'd prefer a stronger pleasant scent over this faint odd one. @Oiliness@ Being oily-skinned, when used alone as the first step, it made my skin quite greasy. So I had to either mix a small amount with a gel-type cream or blot my face with oil-absorbing sheets after finishing my skincare routine. I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin types...
Tip@Toner pack@ Rather than using it as a toner, I found it worked well as a pack by soaking cotton pads generously. When I only packed areas that lacked moisture, it seemed less oily than when applied all over. @Mixing with other products@ I usually mix tea tree oil or Houttuynia cordata extract with products, but as this one is already a bit heavy, I mixed it with cream. Mixing it with a light-textured (gel) cream worked much better. Using it this way alone, without additional ampoules, felt just right.

As someone with oily skin, I was worried about the slightly viscous texture, but it feels moisturizing and leaves a powdery finish when applied. Contrary to my concerns, it's not heavy at all and feels surprisingly lightweight. Despite containing ingredients that could potentially clog pores, which I was worried might cause blemishes for my oily skin, I experienced no issues - perhaps because my skin isn't particularly sensitive. The subtle coconut scent is a pleasant bonus!
ConsWhile the price point is relatively high, the product's rich texture and hydrating properties mean a little goes a long way in providing ample moisture.
TipJust a drop or two is enough to provide sufficient hydration. I'd recommend this for dry skin types during fall and winter - layering it could provide intense moisture. However, it's also great for oily skin! Instead of layering multiple light, watery products, one application of this is enough. When dealing with occasional acne or skin irritations, use tea tree or Houttuynia cordata products to soothe the skin, then use this to maintain hydration when your skin is in good condition.

It spreads smoothly, leaving a moisturized feel, and absorbs well into the skin! It's not sticky, making it perfect for layering and providing ample hydration. You don't need a separate essence. When layered, it fills in the skin barrier smoothly, creating a dense and firm feeling. As someone with dry skin, I was extremely satisfied using this. It's fantastic when you want to add plenty of moisture at the toner stage. I think I'll be using this exclusively with love during the winter!
ConsThe only downside was that the toner is a bit pricey. However, I felt it was still worth it since it should last for several months of generous use.
TipUsing it together with a serum reduces the number of steps and they work great in combination.

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.ProsThis product seems perfect for the chilly weather we're having lately. Unlike typical toners, it has an essence-like texture with some viscosity, but I loved how it's still lightweight and hydrating. Rather than being light and fresh, it has a formula that finishes with a moisturizing, plump feel. I was impressed by the hydration that emerges after absorption. It had a calming effect on my super sensitive skin without causing any blemishes, and it also helped with deep dryness. I think I'll be using this product well.
ConsThe price seems a bit steep. Aside from the cost, it's truly an excellent product.
TipThis seems like something you can use lightly when you're too lazy to apply multiple products. If you keep it cool and use it like a mask, you'll be able to reduce facial heat while experiencing its calming effects!

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, this product applies incredibly smoothly while providing proper hydration! It goes on light but still moisturizes well and gives a nice, slightly bouncy texture. It's not a heavy product at all - it's lightweight, yet it provides adequate moisture to the skin. The finish absorbs quickly, but it doesn't just evaporate right away. I felt like it absorbs well into the skin!
ConsI don't think this would be suitable for those with very dry skin or those looking for intense hydration and moisture! It absorbs quickly and feels light, giving a sense of moderate hydration. I suspect it might not be enough for those with extremely dry skin.
TipIt seems great for applying lightly in the morning or before makeup! When I applied it lightly in the morning, my makeup didn't seem to separate and appeared to adhere well to my skin.

When I received the product, I was surprised by its generous size. It's large and seems like it will last a long time. The toner bottle has a clean, overall design! It feels more like a thin emulsion than a typical toner, which makes it great for applying lightly before your main skincare routine. If you give it enough time to absorb, you'll experience wonderfully hydrated skin! As it's a deeply moisturizing toner, think of it as leaving your skin feeling comfortably damp rather than completely absorbing. It's not overly sticky either. The texture feels light, but when applied to the face, it provides a moisturizing effect that makes the skin feel hydrated, even improving deep dryness to some extent. The ingredients aren't irritating, so it's fine to apply twice! For those who prefer a light application, it could even be used on its own. Unlike other toners that evaporate quickly, the Cross Barrier Toner maintains hydration for quite a while, making it perfect for my dry skin. There's barely any scent to it! There might be a very faint fragrance, but it's closer to being unscented.
ConsThe product is a bit too large to hold comfortably in one hand when applying it to a cotton pad, which can be inconvenient. I do have slightly smaller hands though.
TipI'd recommend this more for winter than summer, and it's better suited for dry skin rather than oily skin. Personally, I like to soak cotton pads generously with the toner and place them on my forehead, cheeks, and chin before bed!

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.ProsThis is a review from The Hwahae Testers. When I opened the product, I noticed its texture is unique - thinner than a typical cream but thicker than a regular toner. It's light enough to use as a base before makeup, despite its creamy feel. It absorbs quickly, so you can pat it in swiftly and apply more to areas that need extra attention. The scent is closer to unscented with a subtle nutty aroma, reminiscent of coconut oil. I discovered it contains Queensland nut oil, which is excellent for hydration and has high oxidative stability. The fragrance is pleasant and inoffensive. The ingredients are truly impressive. It's passed sensitivity tests, making it suitable for those with super sensitive skin. I used it without any adverse reactions. For best results, I applied two thin layers after cleansing at night. Unlike other products, this serum-like formula can be used on its own. While it may not give you an extreme 'glass skin' effect, it's surprisingly effective for a single product. I'd recommend this to anyone who has sensitive skin, finds skincare routines tedious, or dislikes sticky creams.
ConsSince it's not a typical toner but more of a hybrid between a cream and toner, it doesn't leave your skin completely non-sticky like a traditional skin toner would.
TipFor best application, start with a thin layer, then add more to areas that feel dry or need extra attention.

Highly recommended for those with dry skin. The texture feels like a hydrating ampoule - not sticky at all, and it left my skin feeling wonderfully moisturized. I'm extremely satisfied with it. Compared to other toners, it's more fluid and seems to address deep dryness, which keeps me coming back for more! Even a light application provides excellent hydration. While some toners can leave your skin feeling dry quickly, the Needly toner maintains its moisturizing effect for a long time, which I really appreciate. The packaging is great too - it's convenient to carry in a pouch or bag. I used to find it annoying when toners would stick out of my bag, but this one is perfect for on-the-go use.
ConsThis might be a bit too moisturizing for those with oily skin. I'd recommend it primarily for people with dry skin types.

Color and Scent: The color is translucent, and there's barely any fragrance. Review: I applied it right after cleansing, and it absorbed instantly. I thought it was because my skin was dry, but even when I layered it over my skincare routine, it still absorbed well. I have super sensitive skin, and usually, if a product doesn't suit me, I get itchy or develop a rash, but this product was gentle without any such reactions. I've always liked Needly products, so I decided to try this one. The volume is generous, and the packaging design is sleek, which I love! When I received the package and opened it, I was touched by the careful secondary packaging... Thanks to that, it arrived without any issues! I'd recommend this to people who: Want a lightweight toner for daily use, dislike heavy formulas, or have sensitive skin! It's a great toner for fall and winter! While I'm not sure about extremely dry skin, I'd recommend it for those with dry skin.
ConsWhile it wasn't irritating, at first it absorbs quickly, but over time, it feels like there's hardly any moisture left... I couldn't feel much of a hydrating effect. It seems like the hydration doesn't last long. It might be good for daily use before makeup or after morning cleansing! The price is a bit on the higher side, which can be a bit of a burden...
TipIt's great for lightly hydrating in the morning when you're dry but don't want to layer on heavy moisture! It absorbs well. I'd recommend using Needly pads to smooth out your skin texture first, then apply this toner, and finish with a moisturizing cream. This routine should keep your skin hydrated throughout fall and winter!
