When applied to the face, it feels even gentler than water and has a clear, non-sticky consistency. Despite my sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes. It's hard to tell about dead skin cell management after just a week of use, but I think with consistent use, you might notice a difference. I believe it's working gently without causing irritation. Given its water-like formula, I think it would be great in a spray bottle. This toner is perfect for those wanting a light, clear toner without any fuss. It would be amazing as a chilled mist too!
ConsAs with most toners, the hydration doesn't last very long.
TipTry using it as a mist

Although I have combination dehydrated skin, I tend to use richer products during seasonal changes when I feel more dryness. The Cerolabs Soothing Toner is, in a word, a simple yet effective toner. 1. Texture It's a clear liquid that flows smoothly like water. It's very lightweight. It absorbs into the skin immediately, instantly creating soft skin. It absorbs so quickly that it's great for layering, and it doesn't cause any pilling with subsequent skincare steps. The scent is subtle and not bothersome at all. 2. Effects True to its name as a soothing toner, it helps calm the skin and keeps it hydrated. Perhaps because it focuses on these basic functions, I didn't experience any tingling sensation. In fact, it helped soothe redness in my skin.
ConsThose with dry skin might find the hydration level insufficient. Due to its water-like texture, it's very light and absorbs quickly, which means its lasting power is somewhat lacking. If you're looking for a rich, more nourishing toner from the start of your routine, you might be disappointed. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I personally think I'll use this well as a summer toner.
TipBecause it absorbs so quickly, applying multiple layers can enhance the hydrating effect. For those who prefer a fresh base, I recommend layering the Cerolabs toner multiple times rather than using a heavier toner.

The more layers you apply, the more moisturizing it becomes. It's perfect for instant hydration after cleansing or when your skin feels dry.
ConsThe lasting power was a bit disappointing. While layering multiple times helps, it still doesn't seem to last as long as I'd like.
TipI used it as a toner after cleansing, applying three layers. My skin felt instantly hydrated and it provided sufficient moisture, but to maintain the hydration, I followed up with a moisturizing serum.

It absorbs cleanly into the skin without much rubbing, leaving no residue or sticky feeling. I liked that it leaves the skin feeling fresh and hydrated rather than plumped up. ― It's extremely gentle and not greasy at all. Especially when applied with a cotton pad like a toner pad, it provides instant hydration. You can layer it multiple times without pilling, and there's no irritation, making it suitable for combination dehydrated, oily, or sensitive skin types.
Cons― While this toner absorbs really well, I felt like the moisture evaporated just as quickly. It provides immediate hydration to dry skin, but that moisturized feeling doesn't last very long. ― Despite being called a soothing toner, I didn't see much effect in terms of calming my skin. I tried applying it directly to blemishes and even used it as a mask, but I didn't notice any reduction in redness. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for a calming effect.
TipDue to its watery consistency, it can run easily. For convenient application, you might want to transfer it to a mist or spray bottle.

Absorption: It absorbed relatively quickly, and being a water-type with no viscosity, it seemed to instantly fill the skin with hydration. Scent: It's perfectly unscented. You know how even unscented products sometimes have a faint herbal or phytoncide-like scent? Well, this one is truly fragrance-free! Those who prefer unscented products will absolutely love this. Packaging: I appreciated the simple packaging and overall design! The unscented nature and the product's focus on the toner's core functions gave me the impression of a product that has exactly what it needs, nothing more, nothing less. The overall concentration on being an effective toner was very satisfying.
ConsLasting power or Moisture retention: This is probably the most disappointing aspect. Despite its quick absorption, it felt somewhat lacking in moisture, which was a bit disappointing. Also, its effects didn't last very long, so it felt a bit drying for my dry skin. This aspect might vary significantly from person to person!

I was delighted to find that I could use the Ceraclinic Soothing Toner without any of these concerns! 1. Gentle on skin • I could use it on my sensitive skin without any issues. It truly felt like a 'mild, low-irritation toner'! 2. Lightweight texture • The water-based formula felt incredibly fresh and light on my skin! • It wasn't sticky or heavy, so I could layer it multiple times without any discomfort. 3. Step 0 skincare • I loved using it lightly in the morning before makeup. When applied with a cotton pad, it seemed to create hydration pathways, helping my subsequent skincare products absorb better! 4. No worries about blemishes • With my acne-prone skin, using the wrong toner can often lead to breakouts. However, I could use this product comfortably without any such concerns. • Usually, even when switching to a gentle product after using the same toner for a long time, I get small bumps. But this one was fine! 5. A mild product suitable for everyone • With almost no skin irritation, I'd recommend this to anyone with super sensitive skin.
Cons1. Lacks intense hydration • While it absorbs quickly due to its light, water-based texture, it falls short on deep hydration. Don't expect it to be a hydration powerhouse! • For dry skin, it's better used in combination with other moisturizing products rather than on its own. 2. Short-lasting moisture • It feels hydrating immediately after application, but the moisture seems to evaporate quickly over time. • It left something to be desired for use in dry seasons or indoor environments. 3. Toner amount control • The watery consistency means it can run if applied by hand. • When used with a cotton pad, it seems to get absorbed quickly, giving the impression that the product is used up faster.
TipTry decanting it into an empty mist bottle for a quick hydration boost throughout the day to maintain a dewy complexion!

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros- Ingredients With only 9 ingredients, this product contains none of the 20 caution ingredients or potential allergens, making it safe to use. It's great for those with super sensitive skin or combination dehydrated skin like me. - Scent There are no added fragrances, so it's nearly scentless. Any scent you might detect is from the natural ingredients. I don't find it bothersome, and I actually prefer that it doesn't contain any of the 20 caution ingredients like artificial fragrances! - Texture It has a water-like consistency, so you'll need to control the amount. It can also be used as an exfoliating toner! - Application, Feel & Finish As it's alcohol-free, this gentle water toner doesn't cause any tingling sensation. It's a product with skin-friendly ingredients that anyone can use, including those with super sensitive skin. It has a colorless, water-like texture. When I pat a suitable amount gently into my palms, it absorbs quickly, leaving a light, non-sticky, and refreshing finish.
ConsDue to its watery consistency, you need to be careful with the amount to prevent it from running. You'll get used to it after a few tries. Also, if you only use the toner, the hydration might not last long. I recommend finishing with an essence or cream.
TipAs I have oily skin, I found it works well as an exfoliating toner or hydrating mask occasionally. When absorbing it lightly, applying 2-3 layers made my skin feel even more hydrated!

As someone with dry skin, I decanted it into a small mist bottle. I'd spritz it right after cleansing, and once absorbed, I'd apply another layer. It's also effective for exfoliation, so I used it as an exfoliating toner too. The best part? No matter how many times I applied it, there was absolutely no irritation, making it ideal for quenching dry skin whenever needed.
ConsAfter reading other reviews, many felt it was a bit pricey for what it offers, and I have to agree. While it absorbs well, being a light water toner means its lasting power is somewhat lacking. Personally, I wish it had additional soothing properties or skin-refining effects.
TipAs it's a runny water toner, it's perfect for decanting into a mist bottle for frequent spritzing. I highly recommend it for those with dry skin like mine. I'm planning to try it in a bubble bottle next time. Update: I tried it, but it's too thin to create bubbles. Looks like I'll have to stick to using it as a mist.

It absorbs well without any stickiness, leaving a fresh feeling on the skin. You can apply it using either the pat-and-tap method or by swiping with a cotton pad. However, since it contains AHA, choose the application method based on your skin's condition. I have combination/oily skin, and after a trip where my skin was exposed to sun, I felt a slight tingling sensation. So, I mostly used the cotton pad method instead of patting. AHA is primarily water-soluble and is effective for dead skin cell removal and improving skin texture. This product contains citric acid as its AHA component, which is known to even out the complexion and provide antioxidant benefits. Due to the AHA content, I used it every 2-3 days rather than daily. While it's hard to claim significant effects from short-term use, I didn't experience any drawbacks. Keep in mind that usage may need to be limited depending on your skin condition. The vegan certification and eco-friendly packaging and labeling are definite pluses. Remember, it's essential to use sunscreen during the day after using AHA products!
ConsGiven its water-based formula, the hydration doesn't seem to last very long.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a water-based toner with excellent absorption. The texture is transparent and flows like water. As someone sensitive to fragrances, I appreciated that it's completely unscented, making it very comfortable to use. It absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving any residue. You can feel it instantly soothing dry skin. The gentle ingredients were noticeable, which I found very satisfying. Water toners can be tricky to dispense, but this one has a small opening that prevents excess product from spilling out. This made it easy to use just the right amount.
ConsThe hydration level is slightly disappointing. While it absorbs well, I'm not sure about its long-lasting moisture retention. Layering it multiple times might improve this, but I'm not certain. I'd recommend this if you prefer a matte finish without any rich feeling.
