Now that my skin type has changed and I don't get breakouts anymore, it's not suitable for me.
ConsThis product is not recommended for those with sensitive or dry skin. The acidity is extremely strong and can cause severe irritation. I would only suggest this for people with thick skin who are prone to frequent breakouts.
TipThe product seems to be effective for acne-prone skin but may be too harsh for sensitive or dry skin types. It's important to consider your skin type and concerns before using this product.

On the flip side, I guess that speaks volumes about its potency!
ConsIf you have thin, dry, or sensitive skin, please, for the love of all things holy, stay away from this product! I only used it once on my forehead because it didn't agree with my skin there, but I continued using it on my cheeks. Now, my cheek's skin barrier is severely compromised, with scars and blemishes still persisting. My forehead is rough, but it's in much better shape compared to my cheeks. I used to have thin, dry skin, and back when I didn't know better, I heard that exfoliation was necessary to get rid of texture and small blemishes. So, I opted for this Sensitive Stridex, touted as the most gentle yet effective option. I only used it on my cheeks about three times, but it left my skin in the worst condition ever. Blemish marks from three years ago are still deeply visible, recovery is painfully slow, and my skin has become so delicate that I can't apply anything - it's like having jellyfish skin! Watching my forehead heal faster, with fading scars and fewer breakouts, I'm kicking myself for ever using Stridex.
TipI can't say it's entirely the product's fault. The exfoliating effects were undeniably potent - it just didn't suit my skin type. That's on me. This product seems more appropriate for those with thicker or oily skin. For people who truly need intense exfoliation, this could be a godsend.

ConsIt feels more irritating and warm on the skin than I expected. It caused blemishes to appear on my face, so it didn't suit my skin at all. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide much hydration either.

I loved how moisturizing it felt on my skin.
ConsNot recommended for first-time users or those with super sensitive skin. Excessive exfoliation might actually lead to blemishes.
TipInstead of using it like regular toner pads, apply it as if you're spreading essence on your face.

I was really scared because it contains 0.5% BHA, but when using this exfoliating toner, it feels refreshing with a slight tingling sensation. If you leave it on for more than 15-20 minutes to allow the BHA to work, you might feel some dryness. - I love that it's nearly fragrance-free.
Cons- Absolutely do not rub or pack this around your eyes! You might experience hell. - After using it for a few days, a few red blemishes appeared. I'm thinking it might be impurities coming to the surface, so I plan to continue using it consistently while focusing on hydration.

ConsI never thought I had particularly sensitive skin, but recently, as my immune system weakened, I noticed more blemishes appearing, so I decided to buy this. However, it seems to have been too harsh, as it actually caused my skin to break out in hive-like bumps. The experience of using it includes an alcohol scent and a cooling or tingling sensation on the skin.

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, I have oily skin that's prone to blemishes. Even after washing my face in the morning, it would get greasy by midday, and my hair would become limp. I started using this product because I heard it was good for blemishes and dead skin cells. After going through several bottles of the Sensitive pads, I tried various products containing salicylic acid, and now I'm using Stridex Max. Once I finish this, I plan to try the Maximum Plus version available in Korea. When I first used the Sensitive pads, they were definitely intense, and I was worried about irritating my skin. But after using them multiple times, I personally enjoyed the cooling sensation and the dry feeling afterwards. My skin became smoother, probably due to the exfoliation, so I continued using them for several bottles. Since I had very oily skin, I tried using them every other day or even daily for 3 days straight. I even tried wiping my face morning and night. I don't remember my skin ever reacting badly, even when I used them intensively (though not for extended periods). Since it's not a daily-use product, one bottle lasted quite a while. I used them to scrub areas with rough dead skin cells and as a spot treatment on sudden breakouts. Unfortunately, they didn't completely eliminate small bumps and texture. While I didn't see dramatic, overnight improvements in blemishes, I noticed that makeup applied more smoothly after using these pads. It seemed like less oil and sebum came through during the day, improving makeup longevity. I can't say for certain if this was the actual effect or just my imagination, as I didn't do a proper comparison.
ConsThere are quite a few reviews saying it caused more blemishes for some people, so when you first use it, you should start gently and gradually. Make sure to moisturize well after use, as it can be quite drying.
TipIt's great for exfoliating when your skin feels rough. For areas that felt tingly or where wiping wasn't enough, I left the pad on as a mask treatment.

I highly recommend this for back acne rather than facial exfoliation! Just be aware that it can be drying, so it's essential to follow up with an emulsion after letting your skin dry!
ConsAs someone with dry skin, I found this made my skin even drier and caused dead skin cells to appear. It also triggered severe cystic acne. My oily-skinned sister had better results, though. Still, I'd recommend this more for back acne than facial use.
TipAbsolutely avoid using this as a pack. Stick to using it only as an exfoliating toner.

They're slightly smaller than carrot pads, about the size of typical cleansing pads. There's even a crescent-shaped indentation, which is quite unique! Cooling effect The cooling effect is incredible... It's not just the jar that looks like gum, the pads themselves feel like it too! The scent and the pads themselves are so refreshing. Even a quick swipe with the exfoliating toner side feels amazingly cool on the skin. Results While it's said to be good for blackheads and dead skin cells, I didn't notice any major changes except for slightly smoother cheeks. The blackheads might have faded a tiny bit, but it could be my imagination. However, it definitely seemed to refine my skin texture. My skin felt so smooth! Recommended skin types Personally, I think it would suit all skin types except sensitive skin. If you lack oil, you can always supplement with serums or creams. It's suitable for oily, dry, combination dehydrated, and combination skin types. Overall impression It might be too intense for mask use, so I'd recommend using it as an exfoliating toner. It's great for gently refining skin texture! Plus, it's so cooling that I highly recommend it for those who often experience skin heat or flushing.
ConsIrritation There is some irritation... I tried using it as a mask, but the sensation was too intense to bear for even 5 minutes. Personally, I think it's better suited as an exfoliating toner. Results Apart from slightly refined skin texture, I didn't notice any significant effects. However, many people say it worked wonders for them, so maybe it just didn't suit my skin. But really, I saw no notable results... And the next day, I got a huge blemish. My skin had been so smooth lately due to careful skincare... Not recommended for It seems too harsh for those with sensitive skin. I personally found it quite irritating. There's a risk of blemishes, so I'd recommend trying a gentler exfoliating pad instead. Overall impression While it's incredibly cooling and slightly tingly, I was left feeling disappointed. Moreover, when I applied serum after using this pad, it started to pill... Nevertheless, I might still use it for daily gentle exfoliation.
TipSome people are tempted to refrigerate these pads for an even cooler mask or exfoliating toner experience, but please, please don't put these pads in the fridge. They're incredibly cooling even without refrigeration.
