It's a toner with a slightly viscous texture. I'm using it well as both a toner and an essence.
Cons
I have sensitive skin, but I'm using this without any blemishes or irritation.

I have combination dehydrated skin that's closer to oily in summer and dry in winter, with super sensitive, acne-prone skin. I bought this product because I needed a toner, something soothing, and it seemed like good value for money. But let me tell you upfront, it's not great...
Cons
This product might be okay for winter use, but it's spring now and summer is coming soon when we'll be sweating buckets. It feels too heavy. It's also very sticky when applying and after, both on the skin and hands. I don't like sticky products, so I had to wash my hands and face again and reapply with a different product. Although it's marketed as soothing, I didn't really see any calming effects. I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin, and when I had a bad breakout, it felt like it was actually irritating my skin more. I thought maybe it was just the toner, so I tried the toner pads that came as a free sample, but it seems this brand's products are just heavy and sticky in general. They don't seem to suit me well... I needed a toner urgently and spent days considering this purchase, so I'm disappointed it didn't meet my expectations.
Tip
It feels too wasteful to just not use it, so I've been adding it to my modeling masks instead of water, which seems to work a bit better! I'll be buying a different toner next time...

It's slightly more hydrating than regular toners, so I used it when I wanted to skip essence. I love that it has a subtle scent and absorbs well into the skin.
Cons
For those with dry skin, I recommend using this with an emulsion only when applying makeup. At night, it can be a bit drying, so it's better to use an oil or essence instead.

As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I love applying lots of toner. It's great that this comes in a large size.
Cons
Even with my atopic skin, I can use this without much irritation. There's really nothing to complain about.

This is a general water-based toner formulation that can be used conveniently as a cleansing toner. It is suitable for sensitive skin, and I was able to use up an entire bottle without any trouble.
Cons
There were no major disappointments. If you're looking for a toner to use casually without burden, this seems like a decent product.

I tend to use a lot of skincare, and this product has an excellent cost-to-performance ratio. I've replaced the cap with a mist one, and it's very convenient to use. I keep it in the bathroom and spray it on right after cleansing. It's not too lightweight, so my skin feels moisturized without any tightness. I'm really pleased with it!!
Cons
I didn't have any skin troubles and it's winter these days, so I needed a moisturizing toner, and I think I made a good choice.
Tip
Replacing the cap with a mist one and spraying it on my face feels so much more comfortable!

Moisturizing - The toner with centella ingredients is usually a light water toner, but this product has an oily feel, so it's good to use in the winter Gentle - I was worried it would cause trouble because it felt oily, but it didn't. Fortunately, the oil-moisture balance seems to suit me well. Affordable - I bought two for less than 10,000 won on a special offer, so I'm using them generously. Texture - It feels both moisturizing and oily, but since it's a water toner, not a runny one, I can use it for toner packs and cleansing. Fragrance - It has a healthy, herbal centella scent, which I personally like. Samples - They provided a lot of samples from other product lines, and I'm using them one by one. They all suit my skin, so I'm really pleased. Offering affordable prices while allowing me to test other products is greatly appreciated, especially for someone with sensitive skin like me.
Cons
Due to the oil content, it is not recommended for those with oily skin or in the summer. The most regrettable thing is that the brand's products are not well-known, so people like me don't know how good they are. I wish more people could try the discounted products and spread the word. Next time, I might purchase other toners and pads besides the cica ones.
Tip
Try it out if you see a special price and there are no ingredients that don't suit you. I've tried all 3 samples in the photo except the sunscreen, and they were all great with no irritation at all. The cream was particularly amazing - after applying, the inside is incredibly moisturized but the outside feels lightly powdery without any slipperiness. It's not a foundation, but some kind of... I'm not sure about how it pairs with foundation, but it worked great as a night cream.

The toner in the form of flowing water is lightweight, but it has a deep nourishing feel like an essence. The scent is a subtle cica aroma. The advantage of this product is that it is quickly absorbed, immediately providing soothing and moisturizing effects. It leaves the skin smooth and non-sticky. After use, it replenishes the skin's moisture, calming both the moisture levels and redness.
Cons
The fragrance seemed to be one that could divide opinions, as some may like it while others may not.
Tip
I really enjoy using toner packs!

I have an oily skin type and experience a sudden breakout of acne in late summer. No matter what I do, the acne just won't subside. As autumn approaches, my skin becomes extremely dry, and the acne persists, while my skin feels tight and troubled. I came across Hwahae, and although it had fewer reviews, the existing ones were quite positive. So I visited their website and saw that users were raving about their products, and the prices were quite affordable, so I decided to make a purchase. I bought the set that includes the water toner version, not the essence version. And I'm absolutely loving it! During the transitional seasons, I use the water toner, and now that it's getting colder, I'm using the essence toner. It provides intense hydration and has helped clear up my acne. After using it, my skin feels lightweight and smooth, making it easy for the next skincare steps to absorb well. It seems that maintaining the right oil-water balance is crucial. My forehead and cheeks now have a healthy glow. I really hope they never discontinue this product!
Cons
The scent? It seems to be a tea tree scent. However, it's actually quite nice. Once applied and absorbed, the scent dissipates.
Tip
In the morning, I recommend trying it once or twice. In the evening, I recommend trying it three times.
