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.
ConsIt's quite obvious, but the toner alone can't completely address deep dryness, so using it with a serum worked better for me.
TipThe texture is rich and there are leaves in it, so I recommend applying it with your hands rather than using a cotton pad!

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

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.
ConsA 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.
TipFor 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.

When you dispense it, some leaves might come out, but they dissolve completely when you rub them between your palms, leaving no residue on your face! It's an incredibly hydrating and moisturizing toner. I've been using it after swimming, and it helps reduce heat and provides excellent hydration. I think it could be used year-round, even in the depths of winter. If you have cotton pads or alternatives, it would work great as a spot treatment mask too. Personally, I apply a second layer of toner after the initial application. In this weather, I find I don't need to apply a separate moisturizer as it keeps my skin hydrated all day long without any deep dryness!
ConsWhile there's nothing particularly disappointing, I wish it came in a pump bottle like serums do for more hygienic use.

The consistency is like a runny gel, making it more hydrating than a regular toner with decent moisture retention. When I pat it on and let it envelop my face, it feels even more hydrating. I also appreciate that the case isn't too thin, giving it a sturdy feel even if dropped.
ConsIt doesn't seem particularly cheap, and the volume feels a bit small. I wouldn't say it's the most cost-effective product out there.
TipI found that layering it with a PDRN essence adds a nice boost of nourishment to the skin.

This toner leaves my skin feeling less tight compared to other products, even after it's fully absorbed. Texture improvement: You can visibly see how it refines the skin texture after application. My skin feels soft and smooth due to the moisturizing and texture-refining effects. Gentleness: Unlike some other products that occasionally cause blemishes when I switch, this toner hasn't triggered any skin issues.
ConsThe consistency is closer to that of a serum than a toner. Since it's not as watery as other toners, it can be challenging to dispense from the bottle.
TipWhen my skin feels particularly dry, using this as a toner mask works wonders for intense hydration.

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, I'm absolutely thrilled with how moisturizing this toner feels. Recently, I've been in a dry environment where my skin was cracking, and no matter which toner I used, it always felt like it was evaporating instantly. But this toner is different! It truly has the scent of fresh sprouts, and you can actually see the sprout leaves in it. I was worried the green color might stain my skin, but that's not the case at all. When you apply it, you might feel a slight slip. It absorbs quickly, leaving a nice, firm finish without any residue or slippery feeling on the skin. I was so satisfied that even after using it alone, I didn't feel any dryness for a good 5 minutes. I have acne-prone skin (with lots of blemishes on my chin) and visible pores, but I loved that this didn't make my acne flare up or cause any oiliness around my nose. While it doesn't dramatically reduce acne, I'm satisfied because it makes my skin feel comfortable, making it easy to use without any worries.
ConsIt's a shame it's so small! I wish the volume was a bit larger.
TipI use it as a toner pack before applying makeup, and it really makes my makeup stay put, so I use it every day. That's why it's disappointing that it runs out so quickly!

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.
ConsThe 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.
TipUsing it as an exfoliating toner helps improve skin texture too!

I have combination dehydrated skin that's super sensitive. The toner contains tiny floating leaf particles. When I poured it into my palm, I noticed it has a light green, runny texture with little leaf-like bits scattered throughout. As someone with sensitive skin that reacts quickly to incompatible products, I found this one very soothing when applied. It feels instantly hydrating and doesn't dry out over time. After two weeks of use, I feel it's addressed my deep dryness, making my skin feel plump and bouncy. I highly recommend this product for those struggling with dehydrated skin.
ConsI didn't experience any blemishes while using it. I would consider repurchasing in the future.
TipDue to its runny consistency, take time to let it absorb after application. If you rush to apply the next product, it might not adhere well to the skin.

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.
ConsReading 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!
