There's no artificial fragrance, and it absorbs quickly, making it incredibly lightweight. Highly recommended for combination dehydrated skin!
ConsThose with dry skin might find it a bit lacking. It should be suitable for other skin types though.

While my skin isn't particularly sensitive, I often experience redness and a burning sensation during seasonal changes or when I'm not feeling my best. This toner proved to be an excellent choice for those times. My first impression of this toner was its 'clear and lightweight formula'. Being a water-based product, it absorbs instantly upon contact with the skin. Whether applied by hand or with a cotton pad, it feels like it's gently absorbed without any irritation. It's particularly effective in refining skin texture as the first step, boosting the absorption of subsequent products in your skincare routine. The most impressive aspect was its skin-soothing effect. I found myself reaching for this product after long outdoor activities, sun exposure, or when my skin felt heated under a mask. Storing the Artemisia toner in the refrigerator and applying it cool felt like a soothing pack, visibly reducing skin redness. The subtle scent of Artemisia extract was a healing point. Unlike some products where the Artemisia scent can be overpowering or artificial, this one had a delicate aroma that made the application experience incredibly comfortable. It seemed suitable even for those with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities. The toner didn't feel heavy or sit on top of the skin even with multiple applications. I could layer it 1-2 times in the morning and 3-4 times in the evening to provide ample hydration. This layering technique didn't cause pilling, instead, it left my skin feeling deeply moisturized, making it a great fit for combination dehydrated skin prone to deep dryness. Moreover, when applied with a cotton pad, it could serve as an exfoliating toner. It also worked well as a soothing pack when refrigerated. Its versatility was definitely a major plus. On days when my skin felt sensitive and heavy or complex products seemed overwhelming, this toner's lightweight yet functional formula was particularly appealing. The bottle design was clean and minimalist, with an appropriately sized opening that made controlling the amount easy and satisfying from a user perspective. Despite its watery consistency, the well-designed bottle opening and texture prevented spillage and waste. In summary, the Hanyul Pure Artemisia Watery Calming Toner: ✔ Gently soothes sensitive skin ✔ Has a water-based formula that's perfect for layering ✔ Can be used in multiple ways - as a cooling toner, exfoliating toner, or pack ✔ Is a truly 'back-to-basics', gentle, soothing, and hydrating toner.
ConsWhile the Hanyul Pure Artemisia Watery Calming Toner was generally satisfying due to its lightweight and gentle nature, there were a few aspects that left room for improvement. Particularly, as it focuses on being a "gentle basic," those expecting dramatic skin changes might find it somewhat underwhelming. The most noticeable drawback was its lack of intense hydration. Its water-like consistency absorbs quickly, but often left my skin feeling as if the moisture had evaporated soon after application. Especially in dry weather or prolonged exposure to indoor heating or air conditioning, I experienced recurring deep dryness. While the skin's surface seemed fine, the inner dryness necessitated additional moisturizing products, limiting its effectiveness as a standalone product. Moreover, this product emphasizes gradual soothing effects rather than immediate results. It may not provide the powerful control needed for oily skin with active sebum production or sudden blemishes. Consumers drawn by the "calming" keyword might question its effectiveness in the first few days, expecting quicker responses. While it's good for being non-irritating, the lack of strong reactions might disappoint those hoping for visible changes in skin condition. The scent could be polarizing. While I found the subtle Artemisia fragrance comforting, some might dislike it or find it off-putting if unfamiliar with it. Even though it uses natural fragrances, it could be a concern for scent-sensitive consumers, making it risky to purchase without testing first. The extremely watery consistency sometimes felt inefficient when applied by hand, often running off or absorbing into the palms. This was particularly frustrating when trying to apply quickly, as it would flow between fingers or seem to evaporate before application. Unless used as an exfoliating toner or toner pack, this could lead to decreased satisfaction and a feeling of product waste. The packaging also had room for improvement. While the bottle opening wasn't excessively large, its structure still allowed for accidental over-pouring. This was especially problematic when dispensing onto cotton pads, sometimes resulting in unintended overuse. A dispenser or pump-type bottle would have been more convenient for controlled application. Lastly, when used alone without following up with a fluid or cream, it could leave the skin feeling dry or lacking. While its back-to-basics approach is commendable, it might also be perceived as too basic, lacking that special wow factor. In a market filled with multi-functional and ingredient-focused toners, this product might struggle to stand out.
TipWhile the Hanyul Pure Artemisia Toner is gentle and basic on its own, it can be used in various effective ways depending on how you apply it. I usually adjust my skincare routine based on my skin's condition, and this toner's versatility has allowed me to discover more uses over time. Here are some insider tips I've learned while using this Artemisia toner! 1. Use as a soothing pack from the refrigerator This is my go-to method. After a day out, long hours of mask-wearing, or when my skin feels heated, I soak cotton pads generously with this toner, refrigerate them for about 5 minutes, then apply them to my cheeks, forehead, and chin for 5-10 minutes like a toner pack. It instantly cools down skin temperature and provides a soothing sensation, as if the Artemisia water is cooling down my skin. Repeating this for a few days noticeably reduces redness on the cheeks. Surprisingly, when used as a soothing pack at the first sign of blemishes, it often helps calm them down. 2. Use as an exfoliating toner to refine skin texture After morning cleansing, I mainly use it as an exfoliating toner with a cotton pad. Its water-based formula allows for gentle exfoliation without irritation. It's particularly perfect for those mornings after wearing a mask all day or when your skin feels rough with dead skin cells. After exfoliating, the skin feels hydrated without any oily residue, making it ideal before makeup application with minimal pilling. Occasionally, I focus on areas prone to flakiness like around the nose or T-zone, which significantly improves makeup application for the day. 3. Layering for deep hydration During evening skincare, instead of applying it once, I layer this toner thinly 3-4 times. While a single application might feel slightly lacking in moisture, three layers create a noticeably different, deeply hydrated feeling. Gently patting it in between layers gives a plumping sensation, and subsequent products absorb much better. On particularly dry days, I found that pressing the final layer gently with warm palms helped maintain hydration for longer.

It works great as an exfoliating toner, leaving skin feeling fresh and clean.
ConsThe downside is... well, I didn't notice any special soothing effects as advertised. However, since I have super sensitive skin, I was satisfied just by the fact it didn't cause any blemishes. Oh, and the glass container makes it a bit heavy, which is a bit inconvenient.

When I ran out of my usual products, I decided to switch to the Hanyul basic line, and I'm impressed! The standout features are its quick absorption and lightweight texture. It absorbs rapidly, addressing dryness without leaving any sticky residue - just a subtle smoothness. While those with dry skin might find it a tad insufficient, it's perfect for combination dehydrated skin types. Another plus is that it's gentle on the skin and helps calm blemishes. Pro tip: Soak a cotton pad with the toner and use it as a mask - it works even better than some sheet masks!
ConsThe only downside is that you might feel a slight dryness when using it in winter. However, its lightweight application makes it ideal for combination dehydrated skin types!

It's lightweight and gentle, making it a great go-to option for everyday use.
ConsWith so many toner pads available these days, they're more convenient and effective. Having to apply this with a cotton pad each time is a bit of a hassle. Other than that, I have no complaints about the product itself.

The toner applied lightly and provided just the right amount of hydration. I found it quite effective at calming redness too.
ConsThe watery texture made application a bit tricky, which was slightly disappointing. However, since I'm not a fan of runny toners, it didn't bother me too much.
TipDue to its watery consistency, I preferred using it with cotton pads as a mask or transferring it to a spray bottle. This way I could avoid getting too much on my hands. I've heard it works well in a foam maker too!
