Pros

It works incredibly well for my porous, flaky skin. Even though it's a drugstore product, it matches the effects of Olive Young. The dead skin care is fantastic, and there's no irritation at all. It doesn't feel sticky in the least and absorbs nicely into a soft finish. This is a must-have for me.

Cons

There were no disappointing points!! I can only wait for a larger capacity to be released...

Pros

Perfect for absorption and as a face pack base Great value for money - generous amount and very hydrating for just 5000 won Completely liquid consistency Narrow opening prevents accidental spills

Cons

Would be even better as a spray After frequent use as a face pack base, I wish the opening was a bit wider

Pros

I've been using this toner from Daiso since March, and it seems to be a decent one that can be used without causing any major blemishes! With its affordable price and generous quantity, I'm happily using it daily as part of my skincare routine.

Cons

As someone with dry skin, this toner doesn't provide enough hydration with just one application. I find myself either applying it multiple times or using a different, more moisturizing product instead.

Tip

I like to use this as an exfoliating toner by saturating a reusable cotton pad with it! Since it contains tea tree oil, I sometimes mix it and spray it like a mist for added benefits.

Reviewed by The Hwahae Testers

Pros

First off, the price is unbelievably cheap, which is great. I'm not a fan of products that leave a residue on my face, to the point where I dislike applying anything. However, this toner is amazing because once it's absorbed, it feels like I'm not wearing anything at all. I didn't notice a significant effect on pores or dead skin cells, but that might just be because I wasn't paying much attention...?

Cons

While it works fine for my oily skin, I don't think it would suit those looking for hydration from their toner. I'm not sure about the ingredients, but I actually felt like my skin became drier after application. Also, the brightening effect mentioned in the description doesn't seem to be there.

Tip

For people like me who don't pay much attention to toners and don't need extra hydration, this seems to be a good product that doesn't leave any residue. It's cheap and absorbs well...

Pros

I found the product effectiveness to be really impressive. On the days I used it, my skin seemed to improve significantly. It absorbs well, and when you apply it multiple times, your skin retains just the right amount of hydration, leaving it pleasantly moisturized.

Cons

The formula is extremely watery, and due to the container design, it spills easily, which is very inconvenient. It's challenging to apply and feels heavy on the skin. Moreover, I strongly dislike the strong chemical scent it emits.

Pros

The price is great for casual use. I think I bought it at Daiso for around 5,000 won. It was so cheap and under the Dr.G brand, so I decided to give it a try and see if I could trust the brand.

Cons

They claimed it would improve pores and sebum, but I didn't really see any benefits in that area. Then again, we shouldn't expect too much from a toner. However, it lacks absorption and hydration. Even after waiting a while after application, it still feels slippery on the skin. I've been using this toner for about 3 months after cleansing in the evening, but I've noticed I'm getting blemishes more frequently, so I'm planning to switch to something else.

Pros

The hydration is clean and effective, with no greasy feeling, which I really liked. I also appreciated that it's fragrance-free. The bottle's narrow opening makes it easy to control the amount and feels hygienic. There's absolutely no skin irritation. Even though I experienced tingling with the famous 'gentle' toners from La*** and To*** Da***, this one feels much more comfortable on my skin. The formula absorbs immediately into the skin, so it doesn't feel suffocating. It just does its job perfectly, which I'm very satisfied with. Some people say it lacks hydration or oil, but as someone with acne-prone and sensitive skin, I'm just happy it doesn't cause blemishes and provides some moisture. Even though I have dry skin, when I apply this followed by an emulsion, my skin feels fine without any deep dryness.

Cons

There are no downsides, really! If I had to pick something, maybe it's that the price is too low? It makes me keep buying only this product!

Tip

If you feel the hydration isn't enough, you should apply a moisturizing emulsion after this. I'm not sure if this will help those with extremely dry skin, but for those with normal dry skin, this method should work well. Using a highly moisturizing emulsion is more important than you might think.

Pros

The hidden gem toner from Daiso. My skin is sensitive and has recently been breaking out with acne due to overtime and overwork. The acne hasn't appeared since my middle school days, so I'm in the process of recovering. For skin barrier protection, a ceramide toner is essential. But before that, I needed a light water-based toner to care for blemishes and improve skin texture, to apply before the ceramide toner. I wanted to mix a concentrated essence good for blemishes into the water toner. When looking for an affordable water toner, I couldn't find anything better than Daiso's. After much deliberation, I purchased this toner from Daiso. There were several options, but this one best fit my requirements. I don't use this toner alone, but as a pre-toner before my main toner. I was looking for an extremely watery and lightweight toner, without any sticky or heavy feel. Since I'll be applying another toner afterwards, I didn't need anything too substantial. This toner is truly very light and watery, almost like just applying water. It contains a small amount of retinol to help with skin texture, as well as niacinamide. The packaging even mentions 'pore care and exfoliation', though I didn't buy it with those specific benefits in mind. I was simply looking for a simple, lightweight water toner. The usage experience is refreshing and non-irritating, so I've been using it generously. To my pleasant surprise, the small amount of retinol seems to have smoothed out my skin texture. I've been incorporating this into my regular skincare routine, layering it before my ceramide toner, and I'm quite satisfied with the results. Plus, at 200ml and an affordable price, the cost-effectiveness is excellent. I think this will work great even in the hot summer, providing a light and refreshing experience. This hidden gem at Daiso is definitely worth trying!

Cons

The package was so fluorescent green that I thought it might be hard to reach for. It also looked like a pharmaceutical product. ' If you apply this toner alone without anything else, you might find it too lightweight. It would likely suit those with dry skin.

Tip

Hwahae is a difficult toner to apply, so try using a Daiso dropper bottle and apply it directly to your face like an ampoule. I mix the pure essence and apply it this way.

Pros

I've been using this for about two weeks now. It feels just like water? Nothing particularly good or bad to report. The price is reasonable too! I'm giving it 4 stars because it didn't cause any blemishes!

Cons

If you have dry skin, this alone might not be enough. It's too watery...

Tip

I apply this right after washing my face and then use a separate toner mist. I think it's great as a first step for adding hydration
