  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.

  Pros

  The texture is so rich you can feel its viscosity just by shaking the bottle. I was worried it might be slow to absorb or feel sticky due to its consistency, but I was pleasantly surprised! It absorbs quickly without any stickiness, and the added ginseng leaf blends well into the skin. I love how fast it absorbs and its non-sticky feel, but as someone with dry skin, I find myself applying it two or three times for adequate hydration. However, I can't expect a toner to moisturize like a cream, so I'm very satisfied with it. After finishing with cream, there's a noticeable softness to my skin. It feels like I've finally found a toner I'm truly happy with after a long time. The scent is also lovely - not too strong or artificial, just a subtle fragrance that's barely there. I initially thought it wouldn't work as an exfoliating toner because it's not as watery, but when I tried it with a thin cotton pad, it worked surprisingly well, comparable to watery toners. The ginseng leaf doesn't dissolve as quickly when applied by hand, but I could see it melting into my skin while exfoliating different areas. As someone with dry skin, I'm thrilled to have found a product I can use even in summer.

  Cons

  The lid of the container is a bit... how should I put it? Not smooth? Sometimes it doesn't align properly. I think the packaging could use a slight improvement.

  Tip

  Using it as an exfoliating toner helps improve skin texture too!

  Pros

  ✓ Texture and Scent: - Thin consistency with a slight viscosity - Herbal aroma with a hint of fresh greens ✓ Application Experience: I was skeptical about how well it would absorb given the visible plant particles, but surprisingly, it sinks in without leaving any residue. It has a slight viscosity but doesn't feel sticky, and provides adequate hydration. However, while it's perfect for the cooler months, it might feel a bit rich for oily skin types outside of winter. Since it contains PHA, I've also used it as an exfoliating toner a few times, and noticed my nose area looked smoother. I'd recommend it as an exfoliating toner for those concerned about blackheads or uneven texture.

  Cons

  Reading other reviews, I noticed mixed reactions to the scent. It has a slightly medicinal herbal aroma with green notes. As someone who's not a fan of grassy scents, I had to deduct a star. However, I'd take this natural fragrance over artificial perfumes any day!

  Pros

  The most satisfying aspect after using this product is its soothing effect! Recently, I've been getting painful blemishes frequently, but when I apply this toner after squeezing them, I can feel my skin calming down! Also, I thought the flower petals inside would leave residue, but they actually absorb well! I really loved this feature. As someone with oily skin, I don't like sticky toners, but this product absorbs well and isn't sticky at all! It's a great product for toner masking. Overall, it's a really satisfying product for my combination dehydrated skin! I'm definitely considering purchasing it after this trial.

  Cons

  While there weren't any particular downsides, I think a one-touch opening would be more convenient than the screw-top lid!

  Tip

  I'm using it as a skin pack after my acne care routine! The soothing effect is excellent.

  Pros

  I love that the texture is thick and viscous, not watery. It absorbs quickly after patting it in a few times. Once applied, it leaves your skin feeling soft and velvety without any stickiness. It feels like it creates a thin coating on the skin's surface, making your complexion feel smoother. There's also a sense that it's improving your skin texture. There's a subtle ginseng scent, which I personally found pleasant and not off-putting.

  Cons

  While it absorbs quickly, the skin's surface tends to feel dry as time passes. Applying multiple layers while massaging it in helps a bit. As someone with dry skin, I'm not sure how this would work for those with oily skin types. One downside is that the lid is quite stiff and difficult to open and close.

  Tip

  I found that applying it with a cotton pad made it seem like the ginseng extract was being absorbed by the pad rather than my skin. It seems better to apply it directly with your hands and gently pat it into your face for better absorption.

  Pros

  Excellent hydration - It deeply moisturizes, making it perfect for dry skin. Especially great for use in winter or on windy days. Calming effect - Ginseng and plant extracts help soothe the skin, making it suitable even for sensitive skin. When your skin feels irritated, apply it generously with a cotton pad as a quick mask for fast relief. Light texture - Absorbs quickly without stickiness, allowing for multiple applications without feeling heavy. Can be used before makeup too. Natural ingredients - Contains fewer artificial fragrances and harsh ingredients, making it gentle on the skin. Even those with super sensitive skin can use it without worry. Overall, this toner excels in providing hydration and soothing effects, making it particularly well-suited for dry and sensitive skin types.

  Cons

  Slightly pricey - May feel a bit expensive compared to other toners of the same volume. Distinctive scent - While it has a natural herbal fragrance, it might not appeal to everyone.

  Pros

  I used this product for a week based on The Hwahae Testers' reviews. I have combination skin, and with the weather getting milder, my skin is less dry. I had high hopes for its whitening effects and its ability to tackle blemishes. The texture was moisturizing without being sticky, and the gentle ingredients caused no irritation or blemishes at all! I applied this toner first after cleansing, followed by essence, and I could feel it enhanced absorption. As I'm currently interested in slow aging, I found this toner to be perfect for that. I plan to continue using it and try it as a toner mask. When used before makeup, it noticeably reduced deep dryness and pilling - that's what I loved most about it! While I'm not sure about the essence, many reviews mention great synergy when used together, so I'm considering buying the set for my next essence purchase.

  Cons

  The gentle ingredients cause no irritation, which is great! While there's nothing particularly disappointing, I'm a bit concerned it might feel sticky when it gets really hot in summer. As I mainly use exfoliating toners rather than hydrating ones, I might reach for it less often in summer. That's why I'm trying to use it up quickly! Overall, I'm satisfied with this product.

  Tip

  Using it as a mask pack before bed after cleansing left my skin incredibly moisturized with a subtle glow - it was amazing!

  Pros

  There's hardly any scent, and you can see little leaf-like particles floating in it. When applied, it naturally melts into the skin. I've been using it as a light toner, and it's not sticky at all. It's a watery toner with just the right amount of hydration. It's suitable for both dry and oily skin types, and I didn't experience any blemishes! While it's not dramatically life-changing, I'm satisfied because I can definitely feel the improvement in skin texture and hydration compared to not using it. It's a bit on the pricier side, but I think it'll last a long time. I'm considering repurchasing when I run out. Above all, both the packaging and the product itself are so pretty that it lifts my mood just looking at it!

  Cons

  I didn't have any issues using it, and there were no blemishes, so I don't have any complaints.

  Pros

  First off, my skin type is combination dehydrated and slightly super sensitive skin. The product's texture is like clear mucus with tiny leaf-like particles inside. The toner itself is more of a clear type rather than sticky. Its non-sticky nature makes it suitable for use year-round, and its soothing properties make it great for summer use too. It applies well and leaves the skin feeling soft. The small leaf particles disappear immediately upon application, so there's no need to worry about them remaining on your face. The toner's green color gives it an extra refreshing feel. The scent is a natural, herbal aroma, far from artificial fragrances, with a hint of ginseng. Strong cosmetic smells can give me a headache, but this toner's fresh scent makes me feel good every time I use it. My skin is prone to blemishes and redness when I use the wrong products, but this toner seems to have excellent soothing effects, probably due to its high ginseng water content (about 85%). I experienced no irritation, tingling, or discomfort around the eyes while using it.

  Cons

  The issue isn't with the product itself, but rather the brand name is quite confusing. The brand is unfamiliar, and with two 'ren/ran' sounds using different vowels, it's hard to remember the correct spelling. Also, the hydration level might be slightly lacking for winter use.

  Pros

  Texture and Application: The formula is light and fluid, but not completely watery. It adheres well to the skin and absorbs quickly! It applies smoothly and absorbs rapidly without any stickiness, which I really appreciate. I was initially concerned about the visible herb-like particles, wondering if they'd leave residue, but that worry was unfounded. In fact, seeing the natural ingredients boosted my confidence in the product's quality. Expectations and Experience: In my opinion, a toner's primary job is hydration, but this one claims to brighten and improve wrinkles too. I have quite a bit of hyperpigmentation, and ginseng sprout is said to help with that, so I'm using it with high hopes. After a week of use, while it's too soon for dramatic results, my initial impression is positive. If you're looking for a toner that focuses on hydration rather than multiple functions like serums or creams, this seems to be a good choice. The hydration is definitely satisfactory, so I'll continue using it to see if it helps with brightening and wrinkles as well.

  Cons

  Potential Drawbacks: I personally didn't find any issues with the product's effectiveness. I generally like herbal skincare lines, and this one uses ginseng sprout as an ingredient. There's a subtle ginseng scent when you first apply it, which fades quickly. However, if you're sensitive to fragrances or dislike scented products, this might be a drawback. It's really a matter of personal preference. Sensitivity and Blemishes: After a bad experience with a sample product that caused a severe skin reaction, I'm very cautious with new brands. I always patch test on my neck for a few days before using on my face. Fortunately, I didn't experience any blemishes or irritation with this toner! It seems to be a gentle product with no stinging or irritation when applied. Skin Type Considerations: Even though I consider my skin to be quite sensitive, I didn't experience any irritation. So I think most people should be able to use it comfortably. However, everyone's skin is different! If you're unsure about how your skin might react to certain ingredients, it's always best to do a patch test on your neck first before applying to your face.
