ConsPads 0/5 Stiff and rough (zero adherence), prone to pilling, small size = Difficult to use as both an exfoliating toner and a mask However, the price is not easy to swallow: 280 won per sheet with Hwahae discount
TipUsage tips for sensitive skin: 1. Quickly apply as soon as you take it out 2. When it starts to fall off, use as an exfoliating toner once 3. Squeeze the pad and absorb the remaining essence Quick take: What happened to these pads?

I applied it when I had some blemishes and small bumps, and it really worked! It provides great hydration and improved my skin texture too. Though now, perhaps because I've used it so much, I'm not seeing the same dramatic results as before.
ConsWhen using it as a mask, it doesn't adhere very well. It seems a bit stiff. Other than that, I didn't find any particular drawbacks.

I feel like it smooths out my skin texture. When I leave it on, it seems to have a slight calming effect.
ConsMaybe because my skin is sensitive, it hurts a bit. It's sticky and feels stiff on my skin.

However, after consistently using this product morning and evening for about two weeks, I feel like my pores have visibly reduced! Ingredients I'm pleased that the gentle ingredients seem to suit my sensitive skin well without causing any blemishes!
ConsSize The pads are too small and don't even cover my entire cheek. I used to use pine tree pads, and switching to these feels like they've shrunk by half, which is disappointing. Storage container Even though I'm sure I closed the container properly, the solution keeps leaking out. The tweezers don't stay in place either, so I end up just using my hands to pick up the pads. Pad texture The texture is quite stiff, so if you're using it as an exfoliating toner, it might irritate your skin! Also, the pads don't seem to absorb the solution well, so it always feels like I'm applying a dry pad to my face, which is unfortunate.
TipYou can purchase the full-size product and refill for around 30,000 won during Olive Young sales.

There's no harsh sensation on the skin.
ConsCompared to ordinary skin pads that are generally fine for all skin types, the texture of this exfoliating toner pad is a bit firmer and stiffer.

ConsThere's not much to dislike, but the pads are a bit stiff. It would be better if they were a little softer.

Since it contains Houttuynia cordata, the redness has diminished significantly. You can apply it like a face pack on areas prone to breakouts due to mask-wearing, and it has a calming effect. It definitely seems to be good for soothing and reducing redness! And most importantly, even without separate exfoliation, it gently removes dead skin cells, leaving the skin smoother. My skin is a bit dry and sensitive, but I didn't experience any breakouts. And since it's a pad, it works well as a finishing step in cleansing and as a toner. The size is also not too small, so one pad is sufficient.
ConsI used to use a competitor's product pads, and in comparison, the essence seems to be slightly less on these pads, and the pads feel a bit stiff. They don't feel as soft! I usually use pads as a substitute for toner, but with the Houttuynia cordata pads, I had to apply a toner afterwards as well. This might be because I have a dry skin type, but those with oily or combination skin types might be able to use them just fine.
TipFor those with dry skin who use the pads, it's a good idea to apply a toner again afterwards. Or you can also lightly apply a moisturizing cream or lotion. Personally, I really love using the Houttuynia cordata pads before doing a face mask! They help the mask absorb better and also help refine the skin texture. I highly recommend giving them a try!

Breakouts and whiteheads only appear on the chin area. Resulting in significant redness around the chin area. Visible pores on the nose. 1. Completely fragrance-free. Absolutely no scent whatsoever. Even if there is a scent, it is extremely faint, so it would be suitable for people sensitive to fragrances. 2. This is something that can be seen as a pro or a con depending on the user's preference, but the texture is like water. There is absolutely no stickiness or viscosity compared to other brand products. (In my case, I prefer a thinner texture, so I liked it.) It's not at the essence level, but really has a water-like feel...! But surprisingly, there is no dryness at all. Even though it's a thinner liquid than ampoules or essences, once applied to the face, the absorption is complete without any dryness. AHA BHA products tend to gradually dry out, leaving that unique tight, uncomfortable dryness, but this felt as moisturized as after applying an ampoule. 3. It includes a tweezer, and after use, you can just gently slide the used pad next to the stack, making it convenient to store.
ConsThe pads are extremely irritating. People with sensitive skin prone to irritation would be better off not using this. Putting the ingredients aside, the pads completely undermine the score. They are not at all gentle, and feel increasingly rough the more you use them. The material itself is quite stiff and not soft, so the level of irritation is high. Those with particularly thin or dry skin may even find it painful. Even for me, it was much rougher than the pads from other brands I had used before, making it difficult to get used to... If I were to use it, I would have to be very careful with the pressure. Especially, there is no difference in texture between the embossed side and the other side. There was no need to differentiate them. With this kind of texture, it might be better to just lay it on the face and use it like a mask.
TipIn my case, I experienced small breakouts popping up intermittently while using it. Blemishes that were starting to go away would resurface again... Since I wasn't using anything other than the Houttuynia cordata pads, I'm not completely certain if it was due to this, so I didn't include it as a drawback. Considering that I've been using Houttuynia cordata masks from other brands without any issues, it doesn't seem like the Houttuynia cordata ingredient itself is the problem... Anyway, if the development team sees my review, I hope they will thoroughly reconsider the pad material. The more I use it, the more my skin hurts.
