Sensitive skin with combination type, it was good because it didn't sting or get oily when applied. The lightweight, watery formula was quickly absorbed and felt great.
Cons
Dry-skinned individuals may find the moisturizing effect a bit lacking. It seems necessary to apply additional products to achieve the desired level of hydration.
Tip
When calm is needed, it would be good to apply it.

I received 20ml of this product as an event prize. The texture is very fluid, like water. When applied to the skin, it feels like something watery is just sitting on the surface, with slow absorption. I'm not sure why this is called a 'Cica Repair' product, as I didn't experience any calming or soothing effects at all. Even after using it consistently for several days, it did nothing to improve my existing blemishes, redness, or any other skin concerns.
Cons
I fully understand why this product has a low score. Both the texture and the functionality are poor.
Tip
There are many alternative options available for cica and repair products.

This is a review after using the product for about a week! ✔️First, my skin type is oily. Especially in the summer, there is a lot of oil buildup in the T-zone area. I occasionally get a few blemishes, but they tend to be inflammatory acne rather than closed comedones. I also have a lot of acne scars. ✔️Redness: Since I don't normally have a lot of redness, I didn't notice a dramatic effect, but I did feel that my skin was soothed and calmed to some degree. ✔️Volume: The product has a very large volume. Since it's a large size, I don't feel like it's being used up quickly even when I use a lot at a time. ✔️Texture: The texture is completely watery and runny. It just flows down my face when I apply it. ✔️Fragrance: The fragrance is not artificial, but the mugwort scent is quite strong, so those sensitive to fragrance should be cautious.
Cons
I didn't feel that my skin showed noticeable improvement or any remarkable effects. However, I didn't feel that it made my skin worse either - it just felt average. The runny texture is inconvenient when trying to pat it in. I usually like to pat in my products, but with this one, it just flows down my arms, so I've been using a dabbing motion instead of patting.

The finish was refreshing and effective in calming redness.

The moisturizing power was disappointing, and the 500ml large size is expensive.
Tip
The signature cica scent is mild, making it a good toner to use in the summer.

The formula of this toner is like flowing water, making it great for both wiping and using as a toner pack. The product volume is truly massive, so you can use it generously without worrying about it running out! The scent may be polarizing. Compared to the scent of other brands' mugwort moisturizing creams, the Cica Mugwort Repair Toner has a rugged, wild mugwort aroma. But since I personally enjoy herbal scents, I'm a big fan of it! I don't currently have any skin troubles, so I'm not sure about its soothing effects, but this toner is great for lightly replenishing moisture in the summer weather :)
Cons
After using it consistently for about 2 weeks, I don't have any complaints so far.

I would like to let you know that this is a sincere and consistent review!! My skin type is extremely dry and sensitive. The first thing I noticed when applying it was the moisturizing and refreshing feeling. It doesn't feel irritating at all and I really like it! 🌷Moisture It applies moisturizing and absorbs really well. While using it, I found that it also helps with inner dryness, so my skin doesn't feel dry. I usually feel my face tightening when using skincare without moisture, but I didn't experience that at all. 🌷Usage & Packaging The large size is perfect for using as a skin pack. These days, I always use a skin pack before makeup since it's been so hot, and this one is just perfect! 🌷Exfoliation In my personal opinion, my skin feels like the dead skin cells have reduced a lot while my moisture needs are met. My skin is now very smooth and supple without any flakiness, and my makeup applies really well. 🌷Absorption & Glow It absorbs well right away, but I didn't notice an immediate glow.
Cons
🌷Fragrance For those sensitive to scents, there might be a love-hate relationship with the fragrance. It has an herbal scent. I personally don't mind the fragrance and have been using it well.
Tip
It's expensive... that's the biggest downside.

No matter summer or winter, my skin is extremely dry, so the most important thing for me was to find a basic skincare product that would effectively lock in moisture and not feel heavy even after multiple applications. This time, I'm going to try this toner.
Cons
If the packaging has a pump, it might not flow out as much. Since the formula is quite watery, it does tend to flow out a bit.

This product was used for cleansing. As I have sensitive skin with blemishes and redness, even a slight irritation can cause my face to turn red and become sensitive. But this toner, with its Cica and Mugwort combination, is gentle and leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. The amount is also very generous, so I can even use it as a toner pack when my skin is irritated. I'm really pleased with this product! Other regular toners didn't seem to have a calming effect, but this one does a great job of soothing my skin, so no new blemishes have appeared. I think I'll continue using this as my daily toner. ☺️☺️
Cons
There's really nothing bad, except that the bottle cap is a bit large and heavy.
Tip
Using this together with an organic cotton pad would allow me to use it without any skin irritation.

I was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and this is my 2-week review! My skin type is combination - oily on the T-zone and gradually becoming more neutral. Personally, I don't have high expectations for toners, as I use them mainly to cleanse and refresh my skin before other products. As an oily-skinned person, I care more about making my skin feel fresh and hydrated before applying other products, or using the toner on a cotton pad to gently cleanse without irritation. This product exceeded my expectations in this regard. The texture is not as thin as water, but still feels quite nourishing. It doesn't leave my skin completely dry after cleansing, but maintains a comfortable level of moisture without feeling overly sticky or heavy. The alcohol content doesn't make my skin feel completely parched either. There's a pleasant, slightly refreshing and sweet scent that I enjoy, though it's not very strong and fades quickly. ⭐️For reference, my skin is currently a mess due to folliculitis and hormonal breakouts. While I'm not sure about the calming effects, I didn't experience any irritation or worsening of my skin issues when using this toner. There's no stinging or discomfort at all when applying it. The overall finish is nice and the hydration is good, so I think I'll continue using this toner for a while. I'd recommend it!
Cons
As mentioned in the main review, the finish is not as refreshing as some may prefer, so this toner may not be the best choice for those with extremely oily skin or who want a more clarifying sensation after cleansing.
Tip
If you find the large size of the toner difficult to use up within the product's lifespan, try mixing it with water and using it as a facial mist or in a modeling pack. This can help the toner last longer and provide additional soothing and hydrating benefits.

1. The volume is large 2. It doesn't decrease much even with heavy use, which is good 3. It gives a soothing feeling 4. My skin texture seems to be improving - some of the pores and uneven texture have diminished a bit..!!
Cons
I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, and for some reason, I broke out in a lot of pimples on my face, so I had to stop using it. It's probably better not to use it too frequently or anything like that!! There were parts that didn't quite suit me, but it was still good... It makes my face feel more comfortable. I was happy to be selected as a winner, but for very sensitive skin, it's probably better to use it in moderation.
