The difference between using it and not using it is quite significant, so I've been using it for almost 8 years. When I don't use the product, I always get pimples and milia. The witch hazel ingredient has an antibacterial effect, so it seems to be very good for preventing skin troubles.
ConsThere's not really any downside, but I've tried the different Seashore toners, and the Seashore Rose toner was irritating and felt hot on my skin, so I couldn't use it. I just stick to using the Cucumber toner.
TipIf you soak a paper face mask in this toner and apply it to your face, your complexion will become more transparent, and your skin will stay moisturized until the evening.

ConsThe ingredient witch hazel can be perceived as irritating. So I'm giving it one less star.
TipI'm still doing the 7-skin method that was popular a few years ago. It's excellent for hydration.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe author's skin type is combination skin, with an extremely oily T-zone and dry cheeks. The skin is also lacking in moisture, making it dehydrated. While the skin is not sensitive to cosmetic chemicals, acne can appear depending on the condition (menstrual cycle, lack of sleep, excessive carbohydrate intake, etc.). After use, the author gave 1 out of 5 stars due to the irritation experienced during use and the presence of phenoxyethanol in the ingredients (based on international Seashore toner standards). The author's skin is usually not sensitive, but the witch hazel seems to require caution. Regarding the fragrance, the author personally found it tolerable, likening it to the scent of cucumber soap in a steamy bathroom, which the author enjoys. Many others have disliked the fragrance, but the author did not find it problematic. The toner is very watery and suitable for use as a skin pack. The author prefers using it as a wiping toner rather than an absorbing toner, as it has excellent absorbency without stickiness. The author enjoys using this lightweight water toner after cleansing, followed by an ampoule, moisturizer, and sunscreen, which works well throughout the seasons. The author impulsively purchased this product at a drugstore, carefully checking the ingredients and reading Hwahae Trial Reviewer comments beforehand. The discontinued Cucumber version is still available internationally. The author chose the Cucumber version over the Unscented one, as the only difference is the inclusion of cucumber fruit extract, which is believed to be more beneficial for hydration and soothing.
ConsRegarding skin irritation, the author experienced intense heat and redness immediately after gently wiping the T-zone area with the toner. The author recognized the witch hazel extract as the culprit, as the author has not experienced such strong irritation with other AHA/BHA products. The sensation was described as feeling like the face was submerged in ice-cold water and then experiencing a numb, tingling feeling, making it difficult to distinguish between heat and pain. This was the first time the author encountered such a reaction to a toner. Despite trying to use the product for about a week, the irritation persisted. Fortunately, the skin did not become severely compromised. Based on the author's experience, the irritation level was severe, warranting a 1-star rating. Regarding the ingredients, there are some differences between the international and domestic versions. The international Seashore toner contains phenoxyethanol, which, while considered safer than parabens, can still potentially cause allergic reactions. The product also contains potassium hydroxide, which is typically found in bar soaps, likely used for pH adjustment. Overall, the ingredients are relatively simple, and the product may be suitable for those whose skin agrees with witch hazel extract. Considering the irritation experienced, the author gave a 2-star rating for the ingredients.
TipWitch hazel is said to be highly effective for pore tightening and has antiseptic properties as well. As a natural ingredient used in over-the-counter medicines, it may also be helpful for treating folliculitis. For those whose skin agrees with witch hazel extract and who want to manage their pores, applying it with a cotton pad only to the pore-prone areas may be beneficial. As a student learning about cosmetics, if there are any areas that need improvement in my response, please feel free to provide feedback in the comments. Thank you!

It can be used smoothly without causing any trouble. It doesn't feel too heavy, so it seems good to use even in the summer.
ConsWhile it didn't cause any breakouts, there was a slightly stinging sensation on my face when I used this product. But since my skin didn't actually get worse, I used it up.
TipIf you soak a cotton pad with it and wipe it off, your skin will feel moisturized.

I've been using this product for about one to three years, and it has been working well without any issues. It's a gentle formula, and the amount is generous. The liquid-like texture flows smoothly without feeling sticky, which I really like.
ConsThe product has been discontinued in Korea, so it's not easy to purchase. When I apply it after showering, a slightly white foam-like substance appears, but I'm not sure why that happens. The cucumber scent might be too strong for some people.
TipAll users can purchase this product for around $9.

It's great for both cleansing and toning, as it provides a good amount of moisture. It feels gentle on the skin. I saw several reviews mentioning a cucumber-like scent, but I personally didn't find it bothersome when I used it. However, if you're sensitive to cucumber scents, I'd recommend doing a patch test first.
ConsThe only downside is that it's been discontinued. If it becomes available again in offline stores or overseas, I'll definitely stock up on this toner!
TipBe sure to use it after cleansing and before applying your moisturizer.
