Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe texture is slightly more viscous compared to a regular toner, not too lightweight but not heavy either, so I tend to use it more in the evenings. However, even when applied before makeup, it does not slide or feel overly sticky. It provides a plump, moisturizing sensation to the skin, and even for my combination-dry skin, it did not feel dry over time after use.
ConsThe hair dye had a ginseng-like aroma, which was a bit unpleasant. It wasn't too strong, but the subtle scent lingered around my face.
TipI would recommend using it in the evening rather than in the morning. Especially when applied to cotton pads in moderation, it dries quickly and is excellent at reducing skin heat.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe before & after photos do not solely demonstrate the effects of the Cosrx toner. After removing flat warts, there was no stinging or irritation when using it on the wound. It was well-suited without causing any trouble, and it actually felt soothing to the skin. The formula is as light as water, but after application, the skin feels plump, so it's also good for filling in moisture. The other ingredients are clean and mild, so it's good for sensitive skin without any burden. Overall: A toner without irritation on wounds. A typical toner without any notable effects.
Cons- There is a slight scent, almost like a perm solution or ginseng. It's not overpowering, but it may be a bit surprising on the first use. Those sensitive to fragrances may dislike it. You need to take a closer look to detect the smell. - There is hardly any exfoliating effect, so if you were expecting the toner to have a clarifying function, you may be disappointed. It's simply recommended as a gentle moisturizing and soothing product.
TipRecommendation 🙆♀️: My skin is sensitive. I want a toner that provides hydration, soothing, and is non-irritating. Hwahae Trial Reviewers 🙅♀️: I have a lot of acne. I need a toner that exfoliates or has a pore-clearing effect.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsFirst, my skin type is sensitive, dry, and with a little acne! I also have atopic dermatitis, so I carefully check the ingredients when using cosmetics that don't suit me. I particularly like the panthenol line, and the ingredients seem gentle, so the Cosrx Panthenol Barrier Toner works well for me. The texture doesn't seem too watery - it's heavier than a water toner but lighter than a runny toner. It's somewhere in between. I first apply it by dispensing it into my hands and letting it absorb, then I use a toner pad to do a simple pack. This helps the dryness disappear completely. Wiping it off can cause redness, so I just leave it on and let it absorb. While I didn't see noticeable improvements in calming or acne, my skin barrier felt strengthened. It's like a moisturizing layer was created. I think it's a good daily toner to use throughout the seasons.
ConsThe downside is that if you don't layer it on the dry skin at least twice, it can be a bit dry. And the scent!!!! It's somewhat artificial, so I wasn't too fond of it. But it's not to the point of being off-putting, and if you're sensitive to scents that make you go "Huh?" every time you use it, it might bother you. Other than that part, I was really satisfied with the product!
TipIf you have dry skin, I recommend layering it two to three times. It seems more suitable for absorption than cleansing. I think it's perfect for this time of year rather than winter! And it's great to use as a toner pack by soaking a cotton pad with it!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsWhile enduring the long winter, my skin was severely damaged, so I was very curious about the panthenol toner. However, I'm satisfied with both the ingredients and the content. The appropriate water-based formula makes it easy to use, and the texture is light yet smooth. After patting it in several times, applying it in two to three layers doesn't feel heavy, so it seems like it won't be heavily affected by the seasons. The purple packaging box is very pretty, and the bottle is clean, so I'm pleased with the design. And the thoughtful touch of having the sticker peel off easily for recycling is great!
ConsThere are many reviews saying the fragrance is almost non-existent, but as someone sensitive to scents, I could immediately detect the fragrance. It's kind of like a faint sauna-like smell, so the fragrance was a bit disappointing. On the first use, I suddenly got some pimples, but it was fine afterwards.
TipHwahae is possible for both cleansing and toning, but I prefer using a lighter toner for cleansing, so I would more recommend Hwahae for toning.

Texture The texture has a pleasant watery-toner feel, not too runny like water nor too thick and sticky like nasal mucus, which I find satisfactory. 2. Comfortable usage Even though my skin is sensitive and prone to redness, I did not find it particularly irritating. It seems suitable for regular use. 3. Adequate moisture Although I am dry-skinned and prefer a more matte complexion, I found it not too damp or oily. Of course, in this weather, I need to apply an extra layer, but that's the case with most toners.
Cons1. The entrance seems a bit wide. At first, it poured out quite a bit, which was startling. It would be best to block the entrance with a cotton pad and use it sparingly. 2. The fragrance has a somewhat artificial feel. If you are not sensitive to fragrances, it should not be a problem, but the scent is a bit synthetic. 3. For dry skin, it feels a bit drying. However, it should be fine to use in the summer. It's not extremely drying, but has a moderate, unremarkable toner-like feel.
TipPersonally, I felt it was a really ordinary item. I think it has neither great advantages nor great disadvantages. If you want a toner that can be used without any fuss, I think it would not be a bad choice.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros- High moisturizing power After using it for a few days, I definitely felt that my skin became much more moisturized than before. It seems to be particularly good to use during the dry winter season. - Gentle ingredients It was not at all irritating to my sensitive skin, and I did not experience any more breakouts. Instead, I felt that the redness on my skin had improved significantly. - Skin soothing effect When my skin felt irritated and sensitive, I could use it as a pack and immediately feel a soothing effect. Since it contains the ingredient panthenol, which is said to strengthen the skin barrier, using it when my skin was irritated made my skin feel more comfortable.
ConsThe artificial fragrance didn't seem to suit me. I would recommend that those sensitive to fragrances test it out beforehand. Additionally, as an individual with dry skin, I found it to have a slightly oily feel, and the slightly sticky texture may not be preferred by those who don't enjoy such formulations.
TipHwahae says that scrubbing is bad for the skin barrier, so it's recommended to use it in a spray-type container or use Hwahae Trial Reviewers if your skin is sensitive!

We oily, combination skin types don't like products that leave a sticky residue on the skin! This product absorbs quickly into the skin without any slipperiness or stickiness. It's lightweight but still provides great hydration! I tried layering this product twice and didn't feel any dryness at all. It can be used as both a cleansing toner and a hydrating toner.
ConsThose who dislike a watery texture may not be a good fit.
TipAfter showering, gently pat dry your skin. On days when your skin is dry or your condition is not good, you can also use it as a pack by soaking a cotton pad and applying it, which will help recharge your skin's moisture!!

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsMy skin type is dry. 👍It's gentle: My skin is sensitive, and one wrong cosmetic can turn my skin upside down, but even with this cleansing foam and the immediately applied toner, there was no skin turmoil at all. So, even with the wiping toner, there was almost no heaviness. 👍Good for moisture charging: Even with layering, there is a refreshing finish, so it was good for moisture charging my dry skin. Especially, there are many toners that just fly away or don't even feel like you've applied them, but with this product, the moisture feels accumulated and locked in, so I can layer it two times or so right after cleansing, which is great. 👍Good cooling sensation: The cooling sensation felt when applying the toner was great. I have flushed skin and easily feel heat, so cooling is important for my skin type, and I experienced the cooling sensation and long-lasting moisture, which was effective in lowering the heat before applying other cosmetics.
ConsThere was a slight stinging sensation around my eyes after applying the toner. It may have been because I used too much product. So I'm trying to quickly absorb the product when applying it to the eye area. There is a slight artificial fragrance. I usually consider the lingering scent when using cosmetics, and since this is not a fragrance-free product, the lingering fragrance becomes noticeable when I use a lot of it.
TipApplying this product, then gently patting on a light lotion and cushion is truly heavenly... Even on dry days, it provides intensely moisturized skin without any tightness!

The fragrance may be divisive, but I personally enjoy it. It's great to apply generously on a cotton pad and pat onto the face, or you can just use the 7-skin method and it works wonderfully. My top recommendation is the 7-layer method - this is the way I apply it and it feels the most comfortable and beneficial for me. Even with my combination skin, I can just use this in the morning without needing to follow up with a cream. In weather as cold as it's been lately, I finish with a lotion on top. I feel like my skin barrier has become very healthy, and it seems to help with firmness, so I plan to repurchase!
ConsDownside: The fragrance has mixed reviews. I liked it, but based on the reviews, many people find the fragrance to be artificial and unpleasant. So I would recommend that those who are sensitive to scents should definitely try it out in person at the offline store before making a purchase.

Even though it's a water toner, it seems like it can be used as a cleansing toner as well as a moisturizing toner. The usage was good - it had a moisturizing feel and didn't feel sticky when applied. The transparent packaging was good because I could check the amount remaining.
ConsThere's really nothing disappointing! There were some reviews saying it has a somewhat artificial scent, but I didn't find it to be that strong.
