I mixed it with houttuynia cordata and centella asiatica, and used this product for the remaining amount. The red ginseng scent is the strongest. I was worried if it would be okay to use on skin since red ginseng can be harmful when consumed by some people, but it seems fine. It's fun when you put the pad on your face - the subtle red ginseng scent makes you feel like you're eating red ginseng candy!
ConsThe scent seems unavoidable. Even when you apply other essences or creams on top, the fragrance still comes through...?

I was worried the ginseng scent might be overwhelming, but it's actually quite subtle. Overall, the application experience and effectiveness are satisfactory.
ConsWell... the packaging... It looks so much like a dollar store product that I was quite surprised. (Is it actually sold in discount stores?)
TipIt absorbs well, so if you feel your skin is a bit dry, you might want to layer it a few times for better hydration.

I'm a fan of the natural toner series from Chaebigonggan and have tried several, but the red ginseng one is my favorite. While the color doesn't show well in the photo, it's a dark brown liquid. Being made from natural ingredients, the formula is trustworthy (without common preservatives). It has a moisturizing, viscous texture, and I always layer it two or three times. I love how it builds up hydration and moisture in layers. I sometimes put it in a Daiso spray bottle to use as a toner booster after cleansing, spraying it on before patting it in again. I recommend this to those who like red ginseng or want to build up moisture layers. (However, natural ingredients aren't suitable for everyone - reasons below)
ConsThose with sensitive skin or prone to rashes from strong plant extracts (like tea tree, rosemary, etc.) should be cautious. For very sensitive or super sensitive skin, natural ingredients can be overwhelming. It's better to use neutralized extracts to avoid skin stress and blemishes. Also, be careful during your menstrual cycle. The lack of preservatives can be a drawback - it's sensitive to direct light and may spoil quickly, so use it up fast after opening. I apply it all over my body after showering, before body emulsion. It feels like it seals in moisture, making my skin feel much more hydrated.

The formula provides a nice boost of hydration. The ingredients are gentle on the skin. I can feel my skin texture becoming smoother...
ConsIs the bottle opening too wide? Since this toner has a water-like consistency, it's difficult to control how much product comes out.

Personally, I love the sweet scent that reminds me of ginseng mixed with honey. Since ginseng products generally work well for me, I use this often. It's great when you want to give your skin a boost of nutrition. Oh, and the gratis spray bottle I received has such a fine mist - I didn't expect much, but I'm pleasantly surprised!
ConsThere's nothing to complain about, absolutely nothing!

Personally, I find the scent quite pleasant too.
ConsAs a standalone toner, it lacks any richness, so it might be best to use it alongside an oil.

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.ProsThe packaging is sleek, making it a great gift option. The expiration date is September 18, 2024, which is shorter than I expected. There's a slight ginseng scent, but I don't mind it. It's not overpowering. However, those who dislike herbal scents might be sensitive to it. It's easy to mix with creams, toners, etc. I thought the small opening would dispense a little at a time, but it comes out quickly, so be careful with the amount. Mixing it with my moisturizer adds extra hydration without feeling rich, which is perfect. Ginseng is said to have anti-aging effects due to phenols, maltol, and acidic polysaccharides, so I'm planning to use it daily. ***** Update ***** After just two days of use, the deep dryness on my face has significantly reduced. Surprisingly, when I did an intense exfoliation that left my skin tingling, this product immediately soothed it, unlike the centella extract I usually use. I'm not sure if it's a general property of ginseng or if it just works well for me, but I'm thrilled with this purchase. I'm 120% considering repurchasing!!!!
ConsYou need to be careful with dispensing as the product can come out quickly. Also, the expiration date is shorter than expected, just one year.
TipIt works well mixed with toners and moisturizers, and can also be used as a mask by applying it to a cotton pad.

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.ProsSkin type: Dry, sensitive, prone to redness and facial heat. Scent: It smells like a hinoki bath with a hint of red ginseng. I regularly consume red ginseng extract, so I'm less sensitive to the scent compared to others. (Though I'm not a fan of red ginseng candy.) The fragrance is natural and dissipates quickly. It's definitely not an overpowering red ginseng scent that others might find too strong. In fact, the houttuynia cordata and propolis extracts have much stronger scents. Texture: It's a very watery toner. You absolutely can't apply it by patting or placing it on your face - it'll just run off. I recommend getting an empty bottle from Daiso and using it as a mist spray. Otherwise, you'll waste a lot of product. Absorption and Hydration: On its own, it doesn't provide much hydration, but it does offer a bit of moisture. I think it's due to the red ginseng properties. The best way to use it is to spray it like a mist over your skincare routine (after applying emulsions, etc.). It leaves the skin feeling moist and the hydration lasts. Ingredients: 100% red ginseng extract... not much else to say. I appreciate its minimalist approach. Unique Benefits: It immediately reduces skin heat. It's much more effective than centella or houttuynia cordata extracts. I'm planning to switch from houttuynia cordata to this. While houttuynia cordata only feels cool and soothing when first applied, this red ginseng extract keeps the skin cool for a while. The cooling effect lasts surprisingly long. Other Notes: It has an easy-peel sticker, making recycling a breeze. You can write the opening date on the back of the container! It's clear they've considered consumer convenience.
ConsThe scent might be hit or miss for some, but since I'm used to taking herbal medicine and red ginseng, it just smells like a hinoki bath to me.
TipIt's incredibly effective at reducing skin heat. It calms the skin much faster than centella or houttuynia cordata, and the effects last longer.

It worked well as a light cleansing toner. It was gentle without causing any blemishes or irritation. Being non-sticky, it was perfect for daily use as a lightweight option.
ConsPersonally, I'm not a fan of red ginseng scents, so while it wasn't terrible, I can't say I loved it.
TipIf you absolutely detest the smell of red ginseng, I wouldn't recommend this. But for those who don't mind it, it's a decent option for everyday use as a light toner!

And the price is only 5,000 won...? The simplicity and honesty of it really piqued my interest. First off, I loved the scent - it reminds me of ginseng candy. I know it's a polarizing fragrance, but I found the sweet aroma quite pleasant. The texture is watery, but with a hint of essence-like quality? It's hard to describe precisely. It's great for using as a mask by soaking cotton pads generously. Also, my mom is thrilled that it's made with ginseng!
ConsTo be honest, I don't think toners generally offer extraordinary functional benefits. I only expect toners to provide hydration, so I appreciate products like this. I didn't find anything particularly disappointing about it.
TipThe price point is fantastic. At this cost, it's great for trying out all three varieties and perfect for quick, simple mask applications.
