This review was written by The Hwahae Testers who received the product for free and evaluated it with a sense of representing Hwahae. 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.

Pros

I was worried about feeling any particles due to visible bits, but it melts and absorbs smoothly without any sensation. The texture is rich, but it absorbs quickly after application (not due to alcohol evaporation). After absorption, the skin doesn't feel sticky, and there's a nice balance of hydration and nourishment. Despite the 'ginseng' in the name, I barely noticed any herbal scent initially, and couldn't detect it at all afterwards. It's perfect for absorption and as a sleeping pack. I appreciated that it doesn't feel overly nourishing. Overall, it's definitely a product I'd repurchase and recommend.

Cons

The color and suspended particles... The appearance isn't particularly appealing.

Tip

After using a toner to prep the skin, this product alone is sufficient up to the essence step in your skincare routine.

Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Pros

My skin is super sensitive and completely flips out when I'm not feeling well. I've been using this for about 2-3 weeks, and maybe because it's free of harmful ingredients, there was no irritation. It actually seemed to calm my skin? I was using this during a time when I was exhausted and it was that time of the month, so my skin was in total chaos, but it felt like it was settling down. The texture was a bit unfamiliar at first, but the ginseng leaf(?) dissolves well, and the rich consistency seems to help with dryness on my skin to some extent! The finish is a bit sticky at first, but once it absorbs, it feels fresh. Maybe that's why my makeup doesn't pill. I think it would work well for most skin types except extremely dry skin.

Cons

It's quite obvious, but the toner alone can't completely address deep dryness, so using it with a serum worked better for me.

Tip

The texture is rich and there are leaves in it, so I recommend applying it with your hands rather than using a cotton pad!

Pros

While it's not a watery formula, those who prefer a thicker consistency might find this product quite satisfying! The packaging allows for easy control of the amount used, making it convenient to apply. It contains tiny beads that seem to melt into the skin when massaged. The hydration lasts for a good while, so it seems to moisturize effectively and also appears to have a soothing effect! You can feel the heat dissipating from your skin!

Cons

Those sensitive to fragrances might have mixed feelings about this product! Usually, reviews mention that there's hardly any scent, but I noticed a slight fragrance!

Tip

This would be perfect for faces that have been exposed to heat, especially during summer!

Pros

The toner has a viscous texture, so it seems like it would be effective for hydration!

Cons

When I first applied it, it stung a bit, so I stopped. I tried again two days later, but it still felt tingling, suggesting it might not suit my skin. Unfortunately, I had to discontinue use. It seems my skin and this product aren't compatible.

Pros

It absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling hydrated. The particles dissolve rapidly. The herbal scent gives a sense of healthiness.

Cons

Personally, I found the fragrance a bit overwhelming. Unfortunately, I developed blemishes after just one use, and my parents experienced the same issue the next day after using it. It was a disappointing product for us.

Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Pros

As someone with extremely dry skin, I need lip balm, oil, and body emulsion year-round. I'm a skincare nomad, and while toners can sometimes feel like plain water, the right one can definitely provide hydration. This toner's main ingredient is ginseng water, which raised both my expectations and concerns. Scent-wise, I was worried about a strong ginseng smell, but it's not bothersome at all - just a slight herbal scent that doesn't linger like perfume. The texture isn't watery - it has a slight viscosity, though not quite an essence. When applying, it leaves a slightly tacky (but not sticky) feeling. It's noticeably different from water-based toners. Don't worry about the visible particles - they don't cause any irritation at all.

Cons

The price-to-volume ratio is a concern. While I understand it's ginseng water rather than regular purified water, it still feels like it's running out too quickly. I use it for hydration and improving skin texture rather than as an exfoliating toner. Those looking for exfoliation might want to think twice.

Tip

Layering the toner twice, followed by essence and cream, helps soothe some of that seasonal dryness.

Pros

I mainly use this as a toner, and it's wonderfully moisturizing and gentle! It absorbs well without any slippery feeling - just perfect. While it might not be strong enough on its own, it's an excellent base and great for evening out skin texture. The dispenser is convenient, releasing just the right amount with each pump. The scent is subtly fresh, like herbs, with no alcohol smell at all - which I love! The star ingredients didn't cause any discomfort either.

Cons

This is the best toner I've used recently! The amount dispensed is just right too.

Tip

If you find the bits in it bothersome, I recommend using it as a toner instead.

Pros

I won this product on Hwahae and have been using it consistently. Seeing the visible ginseng sprout leaves in the product made me feel connected to nature and excited to try it out quickly! The texture is quite fluid and absorbs well into the skin, leaving it feeling hydrated and moisturized. The ginseng sprout leaves dissolve immediately, so there's no gritty feeling on the skin. It definitely improves dry areas and has a calming effect (I noticed some slight redness subsided). The scent is very subtle, almost fragrance-free. It's non-irritating, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. I recommend it as I believe consistent use will show even better results.

Cons

A pump dispenser would make it more hygienic and easier to use. I'd particularly recommend this for sensitive or dry skin types. It's very hydrating, absorbs quickly, and isn't irritating to the skin, which is why I recommend it.

Tip

For best results, first apply it with a cotton pad to gently wipe your face, then dispense some onto the back of your hand and pat it into your skin for better absorption.

Pros

✓ The lightweight formula doesn't run, allowing for waste-free application. ✓ Absorbs well, making it perfect for 2-3 layers. ✓ Feels more hydrating than a water-based toner! ✓ Pairs nicely with other essences and creams. ✓ Love the clean, neat packaging, and personally adore the green-tinted contents. ✓ Ideal for combination dehydrated or dry skin, and even works well for oily skin when alternated with a water-based toner.

Cons

✓ Initially, the toner doesn't dispense easily. ✓ Not recommended for skin sensitive to ginseng or fermented ingredients.

Tip

✓ Can be used for a toner mask routine. ✓ For a long-lasting Inner Glow, apply three layers before your morning skincare routine, followed by essence and emulsion, then apply makeup!

Pros

I used this product for just over a week as part of The Hwahae Testers event! At first glance, it appeared to have a very thick, ampoule-like texture, but when I spilled some on the back of my hand, it flowed like water. One of the things I really appreciated was that despite using ginseng water, it was surprisingly fragrance-free! Even when I put my nose right up to it and sniffed, I couldn't detect any scent at all. It felt more hydrating than a typical watery toner, providing excellent moisture to my skin! With my previous product, I had to quickly follow up with an ampoule or other moisturizing products, but with this one, even in winter, just one application was enough to instantly relieve any feeling of tightness and leave my skin feeling hydrated. The leaf-like particles inside? They dissolved completely when applied to the skin.

Cons

To be honest, I didn't see significant improvements in sebum control or skin texture that the product advertises. Also, the dispensing part of the container was a bit inconvenient. The product has a slightly viscous consistency, so even when shaken, only a small amount comes out. I think it might have been better if it came in a pump bottle.
