It also helps reduce skin troubles, and the texture is light. The fragrance is not artificial, but has a slightly medicinal disinfectant scent, which may be divisive, but I personally found it pleasant as it does not have an artificial fragrance added.
ConsFor first-time users, it may feel irritating and cause eye discomfort, which is unfortunate.

It's perfect for calming down skin troubles.
ConsIt stings a bit around the eyes and the scent is not quite to my liking. It's a little irritating.

Even after giving birth, the acne didn't go away. I went to the hospital, had extractions done, and received skincare treatments, but the acne would only improve temporarily. I also developed closed comedones, and the stress was overwhelming. For 5 years, I tried all the acne-fighting cosmetics recommended by the hospital, but nothing seemed to help. Then I started working at a dermatology clinic, and the staff there would extract and exfoliate my skin. But this time, the acne started getting inflamed, swollen, and scarring. I eventually had to start taking antibiotics, which helped with the cystic acne, but the closed comedones persisted. Since I couldn't use oil control products along with the antibiotics, I was worried about premature aging at my age. The priority was to treat the cystic acne, so I took antibiotics for about 2 weeks and used the hospital's skincare lotion, but the alcohol content was very drying. My sister recommended trying Centella products from Dongkook Pharmaceutical, and I opted for the lighter Centella Moisturizer instead of the cream, as the cream felt too heavy and clogging. I cleansed with Avène, sprayed Some by Mi Rose Petal Toner, and then applied the Centella Moisturizer. I also soaked a cotton pad with the Some by Mi Cica Care and placed it on the acne spots for 5-10 minutes. The inflamed acne started to calm down, and for the scarring, I dotted on the Centella cream, which helped my skin return to its previous state.
ConsThe closed comedones don't necessarily keep coming up, but when they do, immediately placing the soaked cotton pad on them helps them subside. The downside is that if you use it too close to the eyes, it can sting a bit. Those who dislike the 'hot' sensation might want to avoid it. The scent is also similar to disinfectant, so it may not be suitable for those sensitive to smells. But for the sake of my skin, I've been using it and have seen noticeable improvements the next day.
TipThe skincare lotion with alcohol can be drying, but this one with aloe vera feels more like a mask when applied, helping to calm the acne and leaving no tightness afterwards. After the mask-like application, I found the Centella cream to be too heavy when applied all over, so I just dotted it on the scarred areas, and the scarring has almost disappeared. And for those with cystic acne, I recommend going to the dermatologist to get a prescription for acne antibiotics. I know the medication isn't ideal, but skincare alone may have its limitations. As for oil control products, I haven't tried them myself, but they could be a good option for those whose acne is still active but not yet at the cystic stage.

I don't use it for spot treatment, but as a daily toner for the past 3 years or so. Based on my experience, the Medicated version of the Seacret toner is the best among the Seacret toner line. Compared to other toners, I feel like I get fewer breakouts with this one. Realistically, it's hard to expect pharmaceutical-level effects from cosmetics. So for me, the key criteria in choosing cosmetics is whether they cause breakouts or not. Considering that, this toner has good ingredients and causes relatively few breakouts, especially for the price. They say continuous use of products with alcohol can dry out the skin, but I haven't experienced that at all, even after using it for a long time.
ConsThe alcohol content can sting a bit if it gets in your eyes by mistake. The Medicated version of the Seacret toner line is sometimes delayed in being imported.
TipBy the way, I really dislike that heavy, sticky feeling, so I don't use essences, lotions, or moisturizers. After cleansing, I just wipe my face with the Medicated toner on a cotton pad, and then pat on the Seacret Alcohol-free toner instead of a lotion. I've been doing this for years without any dryness issues. I'd recommend this routine to anyone who, like me, dislikes even the slightest bit of stickiness from moisturizers.

I have oily skin, and if I don't take care of it even a little, it flares up right away. But when I use this, it calms down and subsides quickly. I think I've been using it for over 5 bottles now.
ConsWhen I use it around my eyes, it makes my eyes water haha. And the fragrance is quite strong too haha.

Mix skin toner, aloe, and tea tree oil and apply to areas with acne, and it'll go down quickly the next day.
ConsIf you accidentally get it in your eyes, the alcohol stings.

The area with acne felt disinfected! Tiger ointment smell? It has a minty smell, but it's a love-it-or-hate-it scent, and I like the smell. And the T-zone area was always oily after cleansing and applying skincare, but using this seems to help control the sebum. It feels like it's preparing the skin before applying skincare.
ConsIt seems to have alcohol ingredients, and when applied, it stings around the eyes? My eyes sting. It gets better as you get used to it, but in the beginning, I had to apply it with my eyes closed. Not recommended for sensitive skin.
TipWhen my face feels hot, putting a cotton pad soaked in this on it feels cooling. And after popping pimples, wiping with this and putting a cotton pad soaked in it on top seems to help soothe it, so I use it that way.

After extracting blemishes or when the skin is inflamed, gently wiping with a cotton pad can provide some relief. The generous volume lasts for an incredibly long time, easily 4-5 months of regular use.
ConsThe Hwahae Trial Reviewer can be quite intense, causing a stinging sensation that requires closing the eyes during application. On days when the skin is particularly sensitive, there can be a feeling of irritation when using this product.

It's absolutely amazing - no more breakouts and it's so refreshing! I tend to get large, deep pimples, and when I apply this more intensively on the affected areas, the pimples have even gone down before. I highly recommend this acne skin care product.
ConsDo not apply it around the eyes at all. It stings the eyes, haha.
TipPopping pimples and then applying it is the best, haha. (It's also effective on cystic acne.)

It's especially great in the summer as it's very cooling. It has a real soothing effect on minor burns (before blisters or peeling). It also helps with itchiness from insect bites.
ConsIf applied near the eyes, it can cause eye irritation. The scent is a bit strong. Daily use of Dactolosa can be irritating.
