Being a runny toner, it's hydrating and has a nice bouncy texture. I prioritize the first step in my skincare routine, so I'm satisfied with this product. However, since my skin is sensitive, I occasionally felt a tingling sensation on days when my skin wasn't at its best. Still, I think this product offers good value for money!
ConsIt stung sometimes when my skin wasn't in good condition.
TipAs someone with super sensitive skin, I appreciate that this toner generally works well for my dry and delicate complexion. The hydrating formula absorbs well and helps even my skin tone. While it occasionally caused a slight burning sensation when my skin was particularly reactive, overall it provides a good balance of moisture without feeling sticky. For those looking to layer their skincare, this could be a nice option to create that coveted "Inner Glow" effect. Just be mindful if you're prone to redness or irritation.

The texture is silky smooth, gliding effortlessly onto the skin.
ConsThe packaging is difficult to use. Despite not being a water-based formula, it doesn't have a pump dispenser, so the product comes out in small, inconsistent amounts. It causes itching and tingling on the face.

First impression: it absorbs well and feels gentle. The hydration is great, so for someone with oily skin like me, this alone might be enough for spring and fall.
ConsWhile it absorbs well and feels gentle, on days when my skin was super sensitive, I felt a slight tingling (only when my skin was extremely sensitive). The lid isn't great - it gets dirty easily and seems to leak. Still, overall it's a decent toner I'd recommend. It's also good when you don't want to layer multiple products.

I see from the reviews that it suits many people, though unfortunately it didn't work out for me.
ConsI started using this product immediately after receiving it, incorporating it into my existing skincare routine. Today marks the 6th day of use, but I've decided to discontinue. Unfortunately, I suddenly began experiencing stinging and itching today. Out of curiosity, I checked the Hwahae reviews and found that most negative feedback mentioned similar symptoms to mine. Typically, my skin lacks hydration, leading to clogged pores, small bumps, and occasional whiteheads - usually no more than one or two per month. However, this week I've developed three pustules, making me suspect this product might be the cause.

True to its name as an essence toner, it's not a watery toner but more of a viscous consistency. I thought it might absorb slowly due to its thick texture, but it applies with a cool sensation and absorbs quickly. It's not sticky and leaves the skin feeling moisturized and fresh. As someone with dry skin who usually prefers heavier skincare, I found this surprisingly refreshing! It gives a 'matte but moisturized' feel. There's no special fragrance, just a typical toner scent - that factory-made smell. The panthetine ingredient is a mix of panthenol and actine, which makes it light and easy to apply. It seems like a good option to try without any worries.
ConsWhile the container is eco-friendly and good for reuse, it's inconvenient to use. It has a single hole, but the container itself is too rigid to squeeze. You have to shake it to get the product out, but it doesn't come out easily, so I ended up having to open the cap to use it. Also, it can sting when applied to blemishes or wounds, so caution is needed when using.
TipThose with oily skin might find this great for winter use, while those with dry skin can comfortably use it year-round!

ConsPerformance: Even oily skin needs hydration in winter! Unfortunately, this product's moisturizing power is a bit disappointing. It feels like an ampoule, leaving a slightly tacky sensation, but the effect doesn't last long. There's also a mild tingling sensation, which is surprising for my resilient oily skin. Recommended for: Those who plan to follow up with an emulsion or cream right after application. People looking to use it as a large-volume ampoule. Suitable for all skin types except very dry skin.

I bought this along with the pantothenic cream because I like it so much.
ConsStrangely, there's a slight tingling sensation when applied. I've tried it three times now, and if it continues, I'm planning to stop using it.

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 love that the packaging doesn't use tape. The product description suggests applying multiple layers, and since it absorbs quickly, it's easy to do so. You can even leave it on your face and multitask without it dripping off. It's not quite a runny toner, but it has the perfect consistency! I found that applying three layers works best. Even with just one application, you can feel your skin becoming firmer and softer. Its biggest advantage is that it provides excellent hydration without feeling sticky. To dispense the right amount, quickly turn the bottle upside down and tap it lightly twice. They market it for skin barrier improvement, so I thought I'd give it a try. It seems to be effective! While I didn't have severe barrier damage, so the effects weren't dramatically noticeable, there's definitely something... different. My skin condition has been great lately, and I feel like something's changed. My makeup seems to apply better too. Plus, I'm happy to see a few blemishes disappearing! This toner would be great for those with a compromised skin barrier. P.S. The Hwahae Testers are spot on... It really cools down any burning sensation and feels so refreshing!!! Make sure to try it as a mask!
ConsThe packaging is a bit inconvenient. The opening is square... No matter how careful you are, some product will inevitably get on the edges. Also, after using this toner for about two weeks, I experienced a tingling sensation 3-4 times. However, it didn't cause any blemishes, so I'm ignoring it for now. I didn't notice any major drawbacks. If I had to pick one more minor issue... it seems like the toner disappears quickly... probably because I'm applying three layers.

ConsMy skin type: - Combination dehydrated, sensitive, with occasional seborrheic dermatitis and contact dermatitis flare-ups - I avoid sticky or slippery products due to dermatitis - I rarely use masks as they often trigger my dermatitis After using this product: - Experienced an overall tingling sensation on my face (like wearing an itchy sweater), even when applied every other day. It also stung when applied to my neck - After a few days, red blemishes appeared, so I stopped using it - Even with its hydrating properties, it seems a cream on top is necessary - The packaging felt inconvenient. It's not easy to squeeze, so I had to tap it against my palm multiple times to get the product out, and it didn't dispense smoothly
TipThis product might work well for those who don't experience the stinging sensation I did. Unlike some hydrating products that absorb slowly and cause pilling during makeup application, this one feels moisturizing yet absorbs quickly. This allows for easy layering and moving on to the next step in your routine without issues. In this dry weather, you might need to apply an additional cream on top for extra moisture.

I have sensitive skin that makes finding suitable cosmetics really challenging. When I use products with incompatible ingredients, I get folliculitis in my T-zone and a festival of pustular and nodular acne on my cheeks. The Hwahae Testers' verdict: 💙 Texture: It's not a lightweight toner, but more like an essence with a slight viscosity! It absorbs well, leaving no sticky residue and feeling fresh. I layer it twice before makeup, then apply a thin layer of emulsion - it creates the perfect base for makeup. 💙 Oil and moisture balance: Despite containing oils and squalane, it's not heavy at all - perfect for the current weather. I used it at night followed by a cream, and it worked great. Dry skin types could use it even in summer, while those with oily skin might find it sufficient on its own for layering in summer, balancing both oil and hydration nicely.
Cons🙅🏻♀️ Caution for sensitive skin: As I have sensitive skin, high concentrations of panthenol can cause a tingling sensation, and fermented ingredients don't always agree with me. This product contains both, so I experienced a slight allergic reaction and tingling. However, my skin seems to have adapted, and it's fine now! 🙅🏻♀️ Scent: While I appreciate that it's fragrance-free, I personally dislike the natural scent it has. 🙅🏻♀️ Inconvenient packaging: Despite its viscosity, the narrow opening makes it difficult to dispense. Also, product tends to accumulate around the opening, making it hard to keep clean.
TipI recommend those with sensitive skin to patch test before use. Personally, I suggest using it before makeup or as part of your night routine!
