Here's my review from December 2021 on a product I bought in September 2020. Skin type: Deep undertone, light to cool summer light, sensitive 22 shade skin. This is a water-based toner that helps manage pores and blemishes. Scent: There's a slight minty aroma with a noticeable alcohol scent. The strong alcohol fragrance might be divisive. Ingredients: Only 1 out of 20 cautionary ingredients, and no known allergens. The formulation isn't particularly concerning. Texture: It's a pure water-type toner, best applied with a cotton pad. Pros: - Cooling effect: As it's designed for pore care, it contains peppermint extract, giving a refreshing sensation. - Lightweight: Being a water-based toner, it's perfect for those with oily skin, especially during summer. - Packaging: The lid is designed for easy, hygienic application - just press a cotton pad directly onto it. - Price: I bought the 500ml size. It's even more affordable during Etude House sales or on platforms like 11st or Coupang. Great value for money!
ConsCons: - Dryness and intense sensation: While the cooling effect is a plus, the combination of peppermint extract and the water-based formula can feel quite drying and potentially irritating. - Irritation: As it's a water-type toner applied with a cotton pad and contains peppermint extract, it can be quite harsh when wiping. - Pore care effectiveness is questionable: Personally, I didn't see much improvement in my pores or sebum. Realistically, once pores are enlarged, they're difficult to restore, especially just with skincare products. - Scent: The strong alcohol scent might not be for everyone.
TipOverall verdict: This could work well for non-sensitive, oily skin types during summer. HOWEVER! For those with dry or sensitive skin, or for use in seasons other than summer, it might be too light, irritating, and drying.

It was just right as a wipe-off toner. The pump bottle was very convenient as I didn't need to hold a separate container - just press and go. It was also great for calming my skin when it got heated up in summer.
ConsOccasionally, the intense menthol sensation could feel a bit tingling. However, I only experienced this when my skin was super sensitive, so it might not be a general issue! Overall, I don't have any major complaints.
TipIn summer, I decanted some of this product into an empty bottle and kept it in the fridge. Using it chilled was incredibly refreshing and pleasant!

You can actually see the residue on the pad. It's great value for money with its large size at a low price. The cooling effect is quite pleasant and refreshing.
ConsThe scent... The strong alcohol smell made it difficult to use on days when I had a hangover. It was more irritating than I expected. On days when my skin was particularly sensitive, I experienced a slight tingling sensation.

First off, it's a large size, so it lasts for ages. The pump dispenser is perfect for easy application. You can even smell the alcohol in it, which gives you that reassuring feeling of disinfection. It's great for deep cleansing pores when your skin isn't at its best!
ConsWhile it's good for cleansing pores, I did feel a slight irritation. I have super sensitive skin, so that might be why, but it's definitely not the gentlest product out there.

Texture: It feels like a balanced blend of water and alcohol. 2. Scent: It has a cool, minty fragrance with a hint of alcohol. I've been using this consistently for 2-3 bottles now. Originally, I had combination dehydrated skin, but due to an imbalance, I was getting occasional blemishes. So, I always use this toner as a cleansing step before applying my skincare products generously. It definitely helps with cooling and reducing blemishes, leaving my skin cleaner, especially in summer. Notably, it has reduced skin itchiness. I think it would be great for oily or combination skin types.
ConsIt might be a bit harsh for those with sensitive or dry skin. However, I'd recommend it for people with oily skin, blemishes, or textured skin. It's particularly good in summer!
TipIt feels refreshing just to wipe it on after cleansing. I've noticed a reduction in my blemishes.

It works well as a light exfoliating toner. It feels like it effectively removes excess sebum left on the skin. I think it would be particularly suitable for use during summer rather than fall or winter.
ConsWhile it's marketed as a product that cares for your pores, I'm not entirely convinced. There's a slight burning sensation when applied. Initially, it feels moisturizing, but then it evaporates quickly like alcohol-based disinfectant, leaving the skin feeling tight and dry. It didn't give me the impression of being particularly beneficial for my skin.
TipI think it would be particularly suitable for use during summer.

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.ProsAs someone with oily skin, I really liked this! It definitely gives that oil-removing sensation. Right after use, it even seems to slightly calm any redness! The 500ml version comes with a pump, but I bought the 250ml one for about $9. The smaller size doesn't have a pump, so you use it like a regular toner. Everyone mentions an alcohol scent, but to me it's like 60% alcohol and 40% mint? It reminds me of the smell when adults drink spirits! However, when you apply it to your face, the alcohol scent becomes more noticeable. The texture is nothing more, nothing less - just like water!
ConsI wouldn't recommend this for those with dry or super sensitive skin. Even just looking at the reviews and ingredients, you can tell alcohol is the main component. For those with dry skin, the alcohol evaporates quickly, which might make your skin feel even drier (I noticed this even with my oily skin - the hydration doesn't last long). For those with sensitive skin, it might be too harsh. This toner is absolutely not for adding hydration - it's purely for removing oil!
TipUsing it with a cotton pad seems to help even out the skin texture!
