It's a remarkable toner... It has a slightly viscous water-based formula, and after 2-3 cotton pads, your skin instantly becomes soft and supple. You can feel it plumping up from within, and the dehydration is greatly relieved. Although it's an exfoliating toner, the moisture and hydration are on another level. The uneven bumps and clogged pores on my forehead and chin that were caused by an imbalance in oil and moisture disappeared after using this at night. On days when my skin clearly wasn't absorbing my makeup well, I tried layering this a few times, and my skin immediately became receptive to my skincare. However, it seems important to pair this with the right other products - sometimes, even just lightly touching my skin, flaky patches would come off. This exfoliating toner would be great for oily/problematic skin types looking for a refreshing and effective exfoliation, as it seems suitable for most skin types, except maybe the driest of skin.
ConsThe scent is a bit like diluted apple cider vinegar... However, it dissipates quickly, so it's tolerable.
TipWhen my skin condition is poor, generously applying this as the first step in my nighttime routine makes a noticeable difference, and the following products absorb much better!

It contains hyaluronic acid and panthenol, which help boost skin's moisture levels, making it incredibly nourishing. 2️⃣Smooth Application It feels soft and smooth upon application. It's like a cross between a water toner and a serum. It finishes with a refreshing, non-greasy feel. As it's a hydrating formula with minimal oil, it's great for use in spring and autumn. 3️⃣Functions (Sebum Control, Exfoliation) Although I haven't used it for long, I've noticed that it helps control oil and smoothens skin texture. It seems to be a great toner for cleansing. 4️⃣Sensitive Skin It's gentler than AHA, so it's suitable for sensitive skin types. It contains PHA, which has a larger molecular size and absorbs more slowly than AHA. Even as a sensitive-skinned person, I haven't experienced any breakouts while using it.
Cons1️⃣Stickiness Depending on your skin type, you may experience a slight stickiness. As my skin is quite heat-sensitive, it takes some time to absorb, and the toner's viscosity may contribute to a slightly sticky feel. 2️⃣Fragrance It has a very faint nail polish remover-like scent. There's a subtle alcohol-like aroma, so those sensitive to fragrance should take note.
Tip☘️Using it as a cleansing toner or as a toner pack is excellent for soothing any heat or sensitivity!

My skin is sensitive. The T-zone is oily and the U-zone has dry, sensitive combination skin. It's truly a blessed skin type! The T-zone often has a lot of milia, while the other areas rarely have any issues, but sometimes I get pimples on magical days or when I wear a mask. So for the T-zone, when I apply anything oily or powdery, I get a lot of milia. That's why I tend to avoid acid-based products or powdery treatments! 1. Exfoliation PHA is a gentler exfoliating ingredient compared to AHA or BHA. I've been really concerned about the excessive dead skin buildup lately, so I was surprised and excited to be selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer for this product! It was perfect timing to see if it really removes the dead skin. I was worried that since PHA is milder, the exfoliation might not be as effective, but after just one use, I woke up the next day and my makeup went on so smoothly - it was amazing! I didn't expect the results to be so immediate. 2. Gentle Ingredients PHA can gently exfoliate even for those who find it difficult, and there are no other irritating ingredients, so I was able to use it without any issues, even though I'm quite sensitive. 3. Skin Texture By exfoliating gently without irritation, it revealed a smooth, almost glowing skin texture, like a soft-boiled egg. My skin condition has been really poor lately, with makeup just sliding off, but this has been a revelation.
Cons1. It's too sticky... Even after toning and cleansing, it was shockingly sticky... This is something that could use some improvement. 2. Artificial fragrance The artificial fragrance is too strong. Other than that, I'm satisfied, apart from the price.

It has a slightly soft and supple feel when applied. At night, I would scoop some into my palm and gently pat it on. In the morning, instead of exfoliating, I would soak a cotton pad thoroughly and wipe it on. I have sensitive and acne-prone skin, so if a product doesn't suit me, I often break out in hives or get a major acne flare-up. But this had no irritating effects, just like a sensitive skin toner. I was able to exfoliate without any irritation, which was great. The texture is like water, with no viscosity. I'd recommend this to anyone who needs gentle skincare without any irritation. I have both sensitive and oily skin, so I was stuck in a vicious cycle of needing exfoliation. But using this along with the Papain Enzyme Powder as a cleansing foam replacement has made my skin wonderfully soft, without needing a separate scrub.
ConsThe packaging feels like nail polish remover. It has a slightly toy-like feel. The scent is a bit like yogurt, which some may or may not like. Since it's focused on exfoliation, it doesn't have an extremely moisturizing feel. You'll need to use this toner along with an essence or serum to get a plump, hydrated look.
TipFor those with acne and sensitive skin, gentle skincare is so important. This product seems just right. Give it a try, it's really good.

Feels like pores are being filled. Skin becomes smooth and radiant. However, not very effective for closed comedones. The packaging is pretty and blends in well wherever it's placed. 🥵Overall/ Not sure if I'll purchase it separately yet, need to use it more. But it's definitely good for daily use (especially for morning makeup application). Used it as a cleansing balm for about 2 weeks. Surprisingly, the skin feels smooth and soft as soon as it's absorbed. Seems like it will work well for makeup application.@@ Will update more after further use. Skin texture improvement and radiance are not dramatic, but seem to be improving gradually. Can't really notice significant changes yet. It doesn't seem to have much effect on calming or acne. Since it's hormonal acne, it takes a long time to see results.)) Anyway, it's a product that stays true to its purpose.
ConsThe fragrance is quite unfamiliar, unlike typical cosmetic scents. It's a mix of diluted chemical smell and birch sap...? I don't dislike it, it's just interesting~ If you're very sensitive to fragrances, it might be bothersome, but I think most people will have a similar experience to mine.
