As the weather gets hotter, my pores have enlarged, and my skin has become irritated. I heard that tea tree is good, so I used it, but it was too stinging. Accidentally, I tried this product, and it was able to soothe my skin without any irritation! The ingredients didn't bother me at all, which was great. As for the cooling effect, it's a bit different from the cooling sensation you'd expect from a pad, but when I removed the sheet mask, the calming effect was evident. The formula is not a water-based one, but it's not runny either. It's light, but it applies moisturizing. I haven't used it much yet, but I'll consider buying a full-size after finishing the sample. As the name suggests, this booster serum applies well, and there's no pilling when I layer other products on top. It doesn't feel sticky, and my makeup applies smoothly. Also, the pump packaging makes it more hygienic to use.
ConsThe price is a bit expensive, but since my sole purpose is hydration and soothing, when I consider the cooling sensation, I think using a cooling pad might be a bit better.

Absorbs quickly * Being water-based, there is no stickiness at all * Recommended for dry, acne-prone, sensitive all skin types * No irritation whatsoever * Just two to three applications and you'll feel moisturized even before applying cream * The volume is much more than expected!!!
Cons* I bought the product expecting it to have a cooling effect because of the word "cooling" in the name, but it wasn't the main feature as I had hoped. I wish the cooling, refreshing sensation was more prominent. * It's quite watery, which has the benefit of a toner-like quality, but as someone who uses an essence toner, I would have preferred a slightly more viscous texture. It's a personal preference!
TipSpraying the mist and applying the product in multiple layers 3 or more times will make it incredibly moisturizing. Scooping it into the palm and absorbing it by enveloping the face will result in quick absorption. There is a refreshing cooling sensation, so it works great as a toner pack! When sensitive, applying the product 5 times or so makes it incredibly moisturizing and beneficial.

Layering it a few times leaves a slight oily feeling, but it seems to help the skin retain moisture better. ♡Irritation♡ There is a slight stinging sensation if you have active breakouts, but it's not too severe, so I'd consider it a non-irritating product. ♡Packaging♡ The pump packaging is convenient to use. I like that I can dispense the product directly onto my face, and the adjustable amount is satisfactory. ♡Cooling Effect♡ At first, I didn't really feel the cooling sensation, but after layering it a few times, I noticed my skin felt refreshed. It was surprising that my skin felt cool even without any additional steps. ♡Acne♡ It doesn't seem to have a calming effect on breakouts, but it doesn't make them worse either, so it's a fairly neutral product in that regard. ♡Makeup Compatibility♡ It works well as a toner under makeup. Wiping it on with a cotton pad, layering this, then using an ampoule and a moisturizer is a great routine. ♡Overall Impression♡ It's a convenient and effective product that I can generally recommend. I'd especially suggest it to those looking for a cooling toner.
ConsThere were no particularly disappointing points. The container was also comfortable, which I liked.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsFirst, I was selected as a Hwahae Tester and received the product! Although it was said to be dry and irritating, I really liked it even though I have sensitive, dry skin. It's moisturizing, reduces skin unevenness, and feels gentle and subtly cooling without any irritation! I'm really happy with it, and when I use it as a first serum and follow up with cleansing, my skin's moisture is quickly replenished and doesn't easily evaporate (of course, I also apply a cream and an additional serum). And the serum being between a water toner and a regular serum allows for very versatile use! 🧡Texture: It has a slightly more watery feel than a typical serum, but not as thin as a water toner 🧡Cooling: (Not a chemical cooling sensation) While it doesn't have a strong cooling effect like other skincare, there is a pleasant cooling sensation as the moisture is absorbed 🧡Skin type: Strongly recommended for oily/combination skin, and suitable for dry skin from now on (not sure about winter yet, but it doesn't seem to be drying with the cleansing step) 🧡Scent: Almost unscented (my sense of smell is a bit dull) 🧡Effects after application: Redness subsides, heat sensation decreases, dryness is relieved, skin condition is good the next day, and it helps control flaking/peeling
ConsThere were no particular shortcomings. I really liked it, so I think I'll buy it again.
TipIf you're worried that it might be dry or irritating, I'm afraid I need to cleanse my skin, so I need to exfoliate. If that's the case, I'll first apply an absorbent toner to my face and let it absorb, then use a cotton pad to gently exfoliate, and finally apply a serum with a thicker consistency. This will help replenish the moisture between the toner and serum!

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.ProsThe Hwahae Testers write honestly. Their skin type is combination, sometimes dry. 1. The packaging is convenient to use. The pump, material, size, grip, and other aspects all fit well without any issues, making it very convenient and pleasant to use. The pump dispenses the product cleanly and smoothly without dripping. 2. It's lightweight. There's no irritation. This is a toner that can be used anytime.
ConsCooling I had high expectations because the advertisement emphasized the Cooling feature. However, the result was the opposite of my expectations. It's just a regular toner. The Hwahae Testers Since I had high expectations because of the above, what are the special features? It seems to have a slight viscosity, but it's basically a water-based toner. It can be used as a light toner that provides hydration and refines skin texture, but there are many alternatives that can do this as well.

[Skin Type] -Combination skin +Sensitive skin -Skin concerns: Dehydration, Blackheads, Pores [User Review ✍] ☆Texture Water-based ☆Fragrance Fragrance-free ☆Moisturization Suitable moisturization for oily skin [Pros/Cons] 😀It is a non-irritating cooling booster serum that is easy to use. When I used the same line's Post Alpha Cooling Pad, the pad had an excessive cooling sensation that felt irritating on my face. For sensitive skin, the Alpha Cooling Pad seemed too stimulating, but this serum seems to be a complementary product to address that issue. Though the serum lacks the cooling sensation, it is a suitable booster serum to use as the first step in a skincare routine for those who found the Alpha Cooling Pad too irritating.
ConsThe cooling sensation may be lacking. Compared to using the Alpha Cooling Pad, the Booster Serum had a significantly reduced cooling sensation. The serum provided a subtle, barely perceptible cooling sensation, which was disappointing.
TipThe Hwahae Testers recommend this for those who wanted a less irritating cooling sensation than the Cellpion Alpha Cooling Pad. We also recommend this as an unassuming skin booster serum for those looking for one.

Gentle cooling - Cooling products often use irritating ingredients for Hwahae, but this is a non-irritating cooling serum. First step moisture charge - Using it as the first step leaves the skin feeling pleasantly moisturized all over.
ConsThe disappointment of the container - If the container was a spray bottle that could be used as a mist, it would have been more convenient to use, as the formulation is as thin as water.
TipIn the morning, gently wiping with a makeup pad dampened with water can help organize the skin overall, making the next makeup steps feel more seamless.

ConsThere are no disappointing aspects, but I'm not sure about the pore elasticity effect^^ Pore home care with retinol or air shots is the best!
TipIt is better to store and use it in the refrigerator.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsThe formula is an extremely transparent water-based formula, so when I applied the serum directly to my skin, it just flowed down and I had to scoop it up with my hands to use it. The absorption is really good, and as the name 'skin booster serum' suggests, when I applied it once, it gave a moisturized feeling, and when I applied it twice, it made my skin texture more refined and tighter. To be honest, I wouldn't really recommend it for cooling effects to those who are looking for that. But it didn't cause any heat sensation, and it absorbed into the skin gently. It's closer to a toner in terms of moisture, so if you layer it several times, it's fine, but I wouldn't recommend using it alone if you have dry skin. I have combination skin, so I layered it with other serums. However, in the summer when I have more facial oil, I think I can just use this alone in the morning and then apply a lotion or moisturizer, so I'll likely use it a lot in the summer. 👉🏻 For dry, dehydrated skin: Recommended for summer use 👉🏻 For oily skin: Recommended for all seasons Even though I have sensitive skin with some blemishes, I didn't experience any breakouts. I think the recent improvement in my diet had a big impact on that. The product itself doesn't seem to be irritating to the skin. I feel like it really helped improve my skin texture! Using it as the first step in my skincare routine gives a plumped-up feeling, and layering it just right makes my skin feel so smooth and refined.
ConsI'm not sure if the name "Cooling" suits the product well.
TipPlease be sure to layer it two to three times. Dry and combination skin types should not use it alone.

I thought it was the product I needed, and I was happy to be able to try it out as I won the Hwahae Testers. It was said to have a cooling sensation, so I thought it would make a 'Hwah' sound when I applied it, but there was no sensation at all, and I was like 'Huh?' But while there was no cooling sensation, I could definitely feel my skin temperature dropping. There was no 'Hwah' feeling, and it wasn't irritating or stimulating, and even when it got in my eyes, it didn't sting. But the fact that my skin temperature dropped was good. It has a runny, pumping formula, and it leaks to the side, so I put it in a foam container to use it. It's convenient to apply like a bubble pack and use it. It absorbs a bit slowly and absorbs in a sticky way, so if you gently pat it with your hands for a while, it becomes moisturized and the skin becomes soft, which is good. The best thing about this product is that it sets well, so it's good to apply before makeup.
ConsI lack a bit of courage. The toner leaked from the pumping part, which was inconvenient.
TipIt was nice to be able to use it like a bubble pack by putting it in a foam container.
