The gentle ingredients are kind to the skin, which I absolutely love.
ConsIt's neither more nor less than a typical toner. While it feels moisturizing at first, it dries quickly and doesn't quite address deep dryness.

After use, I loved how it wasn't sticky and left my skin feeling clean and fresh. I've been using it well as an exfoliating toner in the morning before applying makeup! As for dead skin cell removal, when I use it to wipe my face, my skin feels silky smooth even until the next day!
ConsIt feels like there's not much essence on the pads? It's slightly as if they've almost dried out. I wish they would add a bit more essence to the pads!
TipFor me, this product works much better for wiping my face before and after makeup, rather than as a skin pack!

I've always wanted to use pad products, but was hesitant due to potential irritation on my sensitive skin. Product packaging and contents: The product comes in a clean, matte white package that instills confidence. It includes tweezers, which is great! Pad products are usually difficult to separate as they're soaked in liquid, but the tweezers make it convenient and hygienic to use. Scent: Previously used pads often had an artificial, strong scent. Such fragrances can be irritating and make you question the ingredients. However, The Saem Derma Plan pads have a milder scent, with subtle notes reminiscent of tea tree. It's quite pleasant! This product is ideal for those sensitive to strong fragrances. Texture: One side is embossed, and the other is smooth. Like other products, you can thoroughly cleanse with the embossed side, then use the smooth side to refine your skin texture. Immediate effects: I have sensitive, dry skin prone to blemishes. Unlike my usual concerns with pads, this didn't cause redness or irritation. Often, pad products leave my skin feeling dry as the essence evaporates quickly. However, the Derma Plan pads left my skin feeling hydrated. The next day, I noticed some of my blemishes seemed to have diminished slightly!
ConsI wish there was more essence. The top pad felt quite dry, and when using it, one side would dry out before I could use the other side. As you use more pads, they become a bit more saturated, but it's still not enough. I wish the pads were a bit larger. They tend to curl up during use due to their small size.
TipI use it gently after my morning cleanse and more thoroughly after my evening cleanse. I used to use toner, but I've learned you can skip the toner step in your skincare routine with this!

Gentle: It removes impurities after cleansing without irritation, leaving my skin feeling moisturized. Especially when wiping around the eyes, there's no stinging sensation. Packaging: I've been using COSRX pads, which don't come with tweezers to pick up the pads, which was inconvenient. The SAEM includes separate tweezers, making it easier to grab the pads. Scent: I'm sensitive to fragrances, but this product doesn't have a strong scent, so I didn't experience any irritation from the fragrance.
ConsPackaging: While the inclusion of tweezers is a huge plus, the container is too deep, making it increasingly difficult to take out the pads as you use them. Pads: When I first opened it, the liquid hadn't soaked through to the top, so the first pad was just like a dry cotton pad. Also, even though I don't wipe aggressively, the pads pill excessively and leave bits of cotton on my skin, which was uncomfortable. The pads aren't sufficiently saturated with the essence, so it doesn't feel like they're effectively cleansing. Apart from being gentle, I don't see many advantages. I have some small blemishes, but I didn't notice any soothing effects at all.

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 off, when I apply makeup in the morning, it effectively removes dead skin cells and residual impurities, leaving my skin feeling refreshed. This really helps my makeup go on smoothly. It also delivers a nice dose of hydration, so you can simply apply it like an emulsion for a quick and easy routine. What I found most satisfying is that despite my super sensitive skin, it's so gentle that I didn't experience any blemishes. I think it would be fantastic for those with sensitive skin! There's also plenty of essence on each pad - I had some left even after covering my entire face! As someone who cares about skincare, I appreciate how convenient and lightweight it is, which makes me want to repurchase. It's a satisfying pad that even lazy skincare enthusiasts can use with ease.
ConsTo be honest, there weren't many downsides, but the main disappointment was that the moisturizing effect didn't last very long. It seemed to dry quickly, so the hydration didn't persist for an extended period.
TipWhen you wipe your skin with this before applying makeup, just like you would with an emulsion in your basic skincare routine, it definitely seems to help your makeup adhere better.

Feel: It's definitely gentle. No stinging around the eyes, and no blemishes or redness from irritation. My previous peeling pads left a sticky film on my skin, which I disliked, but this product finishes clean like a toner. The pads also produce less lint. Effectiveness: While it's not an intense exfoliant that will smooth out areas with lots of dead skin cells, it's perfect for daily texture maintenance. For blackheads, it seems to prevent them from getting worse rather than eliminating them completely. I use it mainly on my forehead, nose, and chin - areas that need a bit more exfoliation - by leaving it on for a while before wiping off. ****Update after over a month of use**** During the initial Hwahae testing period, my skin was in good condition, so I was satisfied with its daily texture maintenance. Recently, due to frequent overtime work, my skin became super sensitive and dehydrated. Usually, in such situations, I needed professional facial treatments to recover, but using this product consistently morning and evening quickly smoothed out my skin texture. It feels like steady maintenance without needing my usual bi-weekly exfoliant. I'll definitely repurchase when I run out. It's becoming an essential item for me. Scent: It has a mild tea tree fragrance, which I personally enjoy. Packaging: The plastic container is standard. I like that it comes with tweezers for hygienic use. Unlike some products with flimsy tweezers, these work well and are usable.
ConsThe pads are a bit small and don't have enough solution. After wiping half my face, it starts to dry out, so I need to use two pads for my whole face. To minimize skin irritation, you need to apply less pressure, but there's not enough solution for that. After applying to half my face and letting it dry slightly, I use it on my neck, elbows, and heels, which is a bit disappointing. While overly saturated pads aren't great either, I think these need to be 10-20% more moist. Or perhaps larger pads? To avoid misunderstanding, it's just slightly disappointing, not completely dry after half a face. There's enough for the whole face, but it would be perfect if it was just a bit (10-20%) more generous.
TipSince there's no middle cap for the tweezers, when you first use it, don't remove all the plastic seal. Leave some to place the tweezers on, so you don't need to store them separately.

When I first used it, I noticed some small bumps and paused for 2-3 days. Once they subsided, I resumed use. I realized gentle circular motions work better than vigorous rubbing to prevent those bumps. Still, always do a patch test on your hand just to be safe! "Feels like the final step of cleansing" Usually, I avoid daily exfoliating products at night (thinking they might be too harsh), but I used this one both morning and night. Especially at night, it felt less like the first skincare step and more like the final touch in cleansing. I really enjoyed that aspect! "Thoughtful tweezer inclusion" Love that they included tweezers - such a smart touch!
ConsCould be more hydrating It lacks moisture.... It would be better if it provided more hydration. The liquid isn't sufficient Many people have pointed this out.. If you don't use it quickly, it might dry out completely...?
TipThis product alone isn't enough for dead skin cell management I'm sure everyone knows this, but make sure to incorporate other exfoliation methods too! It works even better when used cold The cooling effect is great!

I especially loved collecting their eyeliners in various colors, so I'm thrilled to see their skincare is just as impressive. The Saem VIPs are truly lucky! When it comes to exfoliating products, many people tend to avoid them or use them sparingly due to their potentially harsh nature. However, this product stands out as a gentle exfoliator that even those with sensitive skin can use regularly. Its formula includes seven plant-derived ingredients like allantoin and rose callus culture extract to soothe and hydrate the skin, while Houttuynia Cordata extract and PHA provide mild exfoliation. What I appreciated most about this product was its soft, daily-use friendly exfoliation. The combination of Houttuynia Cordata and PHA effectively removes dead skin cells and impurities without causing significant irritation. This allowed me to incorporate it into my daily skincare routine, resulting in better absorption of subsequent skincare products and improved makeup application. I prefer PHA-based products because they minimize skin irritation while helping maintain collagen and elastin fibers, improving skin density, and providing antioxidant and hydrating benefits. This product's key ingredient is PHA, complemented by hexanediol, trehalose, betaine, glycol, allantoin, and various plant extracts for added hydration and soothing effects. I felt confident enough to apply it directly to my face without patch testing. I've been using it daily without any irritation and would highly recommend it to others. It's a high-performance, low-irritation product that not only excels at gentle exfoliation but also provides comprehensive skincare benefits. Texture and Application: The convenient pad format makes daily exfoliation effortless. With both an embossed side and a smooth side, you can choose the appropriate texture for your needs or use both sides for a thorough treatment. Even the embossed side is gentle enough to apply the essence without irritation. The toner essence is well-absorbed into the pad, ensuring smooth application and quick absorption into the skin. It leaves a lasting hydrated feeling without any stickiness. Effectiveness: It seems that ingredients truly are the most crucial aspect of skincare. The ability to exfoliate gently allows for daily use, resulting in noticeably smoother skin. I'm particularly impressed by how well my base makeup absorbs and adheres without pilling, indicating well-maintained skin texture. Realizing how well it aids in product absorption, I now use these toner pads before applying other skincare products. On busy days, I sometimes use just this pad alone. After removing dead skin cells and impurities, my skin doesn't feel dry; instead, it feels like a moisturizing barrier has formed, maintaining hydration and leaving my skin feeling deeply moisturized for an extended period. Surprisingly, even in summer, using just this toner pad feels sufficient. Packaging: The product comes with tongs, which is a thoughtful addition. There's a seal in the middle before opening, showing attention to maintaining product hygiene and efficacy. It would be even better if there was an additional inner lid to prevent drying during use.
ConsWhile the pads are sufficiently soaked with the toner essence, I wish they were a bit more generously saturated. After using the embossed side, the smooth side sometimes feels a bit lacking in essence. Additionally, as I continued to use the product after opening, the pads gradually dried out, making it challenging to apply enough essence during later uses. It would be great if the pads were more generously soaked, and if there was an inner lid (not just a seal) to prevent evaporation.
TipTry using this product both before applying your skincare routine and before makeup application. It helps prep and refine the skin, enhancing the absorption and adherence of subsequent products.

As someone who frequently uses derma products due to atopic skin issues, I'd like to share my thoughts. Container: - Easy to open and close with a twist-off lid - Comes with tongs for hygienic use Pads: - No stickiness, which I usually dislike - Two different textures: textured and smooth *Pro tip: Textured side: Great for T-zone, around nose, and chin Smooth side: Perfect for the rest of the face Scent: - Unscented! I couldn't detect any fragrance Skin Reaction: As someone with atopic skin prone to flare-ups, I'm happy to report no adverse reactions since I started using derma products
ConsLiquid: - The amount of toner(?) on the pads When first opened, the pads look visibly moist, but over time they seem to dry out a bit Pads: While I'd like to use both sides of each pad, sometimes one side dries out if I cleanse too vigorously (I learned to work quickly!)
TipInitially, I stored the tongs in the box, but dust kept accumulating. I noticed there's a bit of extra space in the pad container. Keeping the tongs there prevents dust buildup and ensures hygienic use!

Overall, this product has been so gentle that I've been extremely satisfied with it throughout my use. I love that the scent isn't irritating, and the pads are incredibly soft, which makes them less harsh on the skin - that's fantastic! I used the embossed side to remove dead skin cells and impurities, and the soft side to refine my skin texture. The built-in tweezers allowed for hygienic use, and unlike other products that often make my eyes sting or feel sore, this one didn't cause any such issues, which made me very happy!
ConsWhen you first open the lid, it might seem like there's not enough liquid. While it's actually sufficient when you use it, if you don't use it for about two days and then open it, the pad on top feels a bit dry.
