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.
ConsThe color and suspended particles... The appearance isn't particularly appealing.
TipAfter using a toner to prep the skin, this product alone is sufficient up to the essence step in your skincare routine.

The particles dissolve rapidly. The herbal scent gives a sense of healthiness.
ConsPersonally, 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.

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

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.
ConsThis is the best toner I've used recently! The amount dispensed is just right too.
TipIf you find the bits in it bothersome, I recommend using it as a toner instead.

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 appearance made me think it might have a strong scent, but it actually has a subtle herbal fragrance which is quite nice. 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.

After absorption, the fragrance becomes very subtle and not bothersome. * Vegan product!!! + Uses pesticide-free sprout ginseng * Clean ingredients!! - No skin irritation * Feels like a combination of essence and toner! Deep hydration + light absorption & fresh finish. * Visible sprout ginseng leaf particles in the product - Unique direct absorption of raw ingredients into the skin, seems to add more credibility to the product's effectiveness / The particles themselves are quickly absorbed by the skin. * Recommended as a gift for any age group! The packaging feels designed to target a younger customer base
Cons<Areas for improvement> * Strong love-or-hate reaction to the scent (especially not recommended for men due to the fragrance) * As it's good to use like an essence, which means higher usage, it would be nice if a larger size was available!!
TipGreat for use as a toner pack!! - When applied to cotton pads, the moisture tends to last for a long time

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, 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!

However, this product didn't cause any tingling or blemishes! It seems like a toner that can be used without any issues. There's also a subtle fragrance that's hard to describe, but I think it's a scent that most people won't have strong feelings about either way!
ConsFor my extremely dry skin, it still felt dehydrating even after application. Also, I don't think the price is particularly affordable!
TipIf you have very dry skin, you might find it dehydrating with just one application. I recommend layering it multiple times.

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.ProsMy skin used to get so dry and flaky in winter, but after using this, my skin texture has become so soft! The scent isn't overpowering, and those plant-like bits inside? They just melt into the skin - I hardly notice them! It absorbs into the skin incredibly well! It's great for a light exfoliating toner step. Unlike watery formulas, it doesn't drip off the cotton pad as much. I usually go for very lightweight toners because I layer multiple products at night, and I don't want my face feeling heavy when I sleep. This one is pleasantly lightweight! While it might feel a bit drying if you only use the toner alone, that's not an issue since I always follow up with other products. I didn't experience any dryness. Even my blemish-prone skin loved it!
ConsThe fragrance might be hit or miss for some people. It's best not to use the toner alone due to potential dryness.
TipI recommend using thin cotton pads rather than thick ones!

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!
