The ingredients were not bad, and the pads were not irritating. After applying them, there was no itching or stinging.
ConsThe pads are too small and keep slipping out of my hands. They are too thin and lack substance, so when applying to the face, they don't feel fixed in place and are too free-flowing. I'll have to use them more to know for sure, but after using this, two inflammatory bumps appeared on the same day. And they are too sticky.

The pad sample was the one that worked best for my skin and showed immediate effects! (The rose serum made my skin itchy and caused small bumps to appear, and the emergency spot gel(?) didn't have much effect) I used the 2 individual Cica Pad samples, one in the morning before makeup and one at night before bed. After being satisfied with the results, I purchased the product during an Isoi sale using a coupon. 🙆🏻♀️Pros🙆🏻♀️ -Not a typical pad material. It's incredibly thin and soft, so it's very gentle on the skin. It's more suitable to use as a soothing pack rather than a cleansing pad. -I have a lot of acne scars and redness, but the redness significantly calmed down after using it. This was the first time I saw such immediate effects, which is why I decided to purchase this product. -It has a 75% moisture and 25% oil balance. It's moisture-focused but doesn't feel lightweight and disappearing. As a combination skin type, using only moisturizing products usually makes my makeup look patchy, but this product has a slight oil content that provides adequate hydration (though not as much as a cream). -No breakouts... Phew! There are 2 potential allergens, so I was nervous when using the samples, but my skin tolerated it well. I'm so relieved!
Cons🤦🏻♀️Downsides🤦🏻♀️ -The finish has a slightly sticky feel, which may be divisive. -The price is expensive.
Tip👌🏻The original price is around 28,000 won, which is quite expensive, but Isoi often has discount coupons available on their app, so you can purchase it for around 15,000 won during those promotional periods! 👌🏻Use it once a day like a pack! It can help calm the redness caused by acne scars. It has whitening properties, so it's a good idea to use it long-term!

I'm so glad there are no harmful ingredients! 🍏Convenience It's so great to use just one pack per day. I can easily do a soothing face mask. 🍏Thickness Even though it's thin, the material is moist and non-irritating, so it adheres well. While using it as a face mask, it stays on my face without falling off. 🍏Effectiveness I'm not sure about the brightening yet, but the soothing effect is definitely noticeable! With the hot weather and having to wear a mask, my skin was breaking out a lot, but using this on my cheeks and chin has really calmed down the irritation.
Cons🍏Moisturizing This is both good and a bit disappointing... After taking off the mask, my skin feels moist but a little sticky. It's not a big deal in the summer, but in spring, fall, and winter, it might be a concern!
Tip1 pack per day

Thin gauze pad type - The pads are thin, so when using a pack, there is no bulging or discomfort when folding the pads on the nose or chin area👍🏻 2. Generous ampoule amount per pad - After applying the pack for 10-15 minutes and removing it, there was still a lot of ampoule left, so I applied it to my forehead, neck, arms, and legs as well - It gives a glossy and cooling effect... - It seems suitable for those with dry skin in the summer!! (The amount is absolutely enormous, wow..👏👏👏) 3. Includes a clip - These days, many pads don't come with a clip, so I'm glad it has one🙂 4. Refreshing scent and cooling effect - I personally place a lot of importance on scent, and I really liked the refreshing scent, and the cooling effect when applying it to the face was great for this weather❣
Cons🚫Cons 1. No place to clip the pad - It's a bit disappointing, I just place it next to the pad, but due to hygiene concerns...😢 2. The ampoule amount is so enormous that it's also very moisturizing, making it a bit sticky... 3. Difficult to pick up one pad at a time due to the thinness - I have to roll it carefully and pick up one by one, which takes a bit of time.
TipFor those who enjoy using face packs, you'll know that keeping them in the refrigerator and using them is the best for the cooling sensation. I think this pad would be great for those with dry skin to use in the 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.ProsI was selected as a Hwahae Trial Reviewer and I'm writing a review. I'll be completely honest. ⭐️Ingredients (👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻) The ingredients are great. Aside from the 2 allergens, it's a good product. All the ingredients are listed as safe, so I'm satisfied with the product ingredients. Even those with sensitive skin can use this product without much concern. ⭐️Texture & Scent (👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻) The pad texture is good, as I can easily pick up one or two pads with tweezers, which is hygienic. The scent didn't bother me, as I don't have a sensitive nose. I think the scent won't be too polarizing. ⭐️Spreadability & Absorption (👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻) The pad texture isn't rough when spreading it across my face. The absorption is also satisfactory - just patting it a few times helps it absorb well. ⭐️Moisturizing (👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻) The moisturizing power is even better than some creams. I can apply a tone-up cream on top without any pilling. If you're looking for a moisturizing toner, I'd recommend trying this product! ⭐️Cost (👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻) I think it's a great value for the price. Highly recommended!!!
ConsThere's not really any downside, but if I had to pick something, I'd say oily-skinned people might want to avoid this product. I'm not sure why, but it feels a bit sticky and greasy, so oily skin types might find it a bit too much.
TipAs a tip, I tried using it like a face mask by applying it all over my face, but I think I used too much, as I got some breakouts in the areas with heavy application. However, using just one pad per face works great - no breakouts at all!

Cons- Not a fresh finish, felt sticky - Instant soothing, but long-lasting soothing effect was hard to see (Minimal changes in skin over 2 weeks) - Thin pads were difficult to pick up one by one with tweezers - Used 4-5 pads each time for masking, and used up almost all in 2 weeks...poor cost-effectiveness - No repurchase intention (instant soothing effect was there, but did not last long and redness did not improve much)
Tip- Good for instant soothing when needed, as the masking provides both moisture and soothing effect at the same time

First of all, this cica pad has a lot of essence in it! The pad was soaked with enough essence to wipe my entire face. It didn't have a big effect of improving my skin, but it seems to be really good as a simple basic routine that keeps my skin from getting dry!
ConsThey said it was a 'redness-calming pad', but when I used it, it didn't seem to have any effect on calming my redness ㅠㅠ And I thought it might have a soothing effect on my blemishes, but it was similar to before using it, so I was a bit disappointed. And the stickiness! Of course, it lessens after a while, but it was more sticky than most other products ㅠㅠ
TipAfter cleansing, stick one pad on each cheek, and after a few minutes, move it to your forehead and chin. Then, after a few more minutes, wipe your nose and entire cheeks, and it will be very moisturizing and nice. If you store the tweezers in the pad cover, you can use it in a more hygienic way!

I actually found the fragrance to be refreshing, so my skin felt cool when I used it. I think as long as you're not very sensitive, you can use it comfortably without any issues.
ConsThere weren't really any major downsides, but if I had to pick one, the slightly sticky feeling left at the end was a bit of a challenge for me.
TipI found that using it as a pack worked really well for me. And I'd also recommend using it lightly before applying makeup.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsYes, there was absolutely no oily or coated feeling. And it wasn't a fleeting hydration, but a nice, bouncy essence-like hydration. - Fragrance: It has a citrus-like scent (but it's not irritating to the eyes). - Definitely no clogged pores or anything like that, probably thanks to the good ingredients. - There was a trend of doing a daily face mask before, and using this product feels like doing a daily mask just with the product itself.
Cons- However, I think people who really dislike stickiness might not like this. But personally, the residual essence-y feeling wasn't too uncomfortable for me. - Since I used this in the summer, using just this was fine, but in the fall or winter, I think I'd need to use another product along with this. - The gauze-like pads are great for the essence to soak in, but they also tend to stick together, which can be a bit of an issue. - Both a pro and a con - the gentle formulation means it needs to be used within 6 months of opening, but with 70 sheets, you'll likely finish it up quickly.
Tip- When you first start using it, the pads on top may dry out a bit over time, but you can just dip them back into the essence and use them. - Use it like a face mask - stick the pads on your skin and go about your business. After a while, just rinse it off! I think I left it on for around 2-3 minutes.

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.ProsI was initially skeptical, but after trying it, my reddened and flushed cheeks were soothed. The scent is not too strong, which I like. I generally avoid using masks because I dislike the sticky feeling, but this cute, compact size is easy to use. After using it, my skin the next day was well-hydrated and my makeup went on smoothly.
ConsAs expected, after some time, it does become a bit sticky. The intense moisturizing effect doesn't last too long. However, even then, there is a noticeable difference in my skin between the days I use it and the days I don't.
