Perfect for when you want to eliminate harmful bacteria on your skin. Uniquely, it's a rub-and-rinse type, so be careful! It contains naturally derived alcohol, which gives it an alcohol scent, but it seems relatively less irritating compared to other products with alcohol. The alcohol scent is noticeable! It stings if you use it on cuts or if it gets in your eyes. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAtopy SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinFeb 3, 2022
I love how thick and plush the pads are, and the size is just right. They even include tweezers for hygienic use! These pads contain a patented probiotic ingredient - fermented lactic acid bacteria extract - which provides 99% antibacterial effectiveness and helps remove fine dust particles! Perhaps due to the antibacterial properties, there's a strong alcohol scent when using the pads. It seems a bit harsh. I wish the case had a built-in compartment for storing the tweezers! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinApr 16, 2021
[The Hwahae Testers Review] I can't believe I've been selected for The Hwahae Testers for the third time! ㅠㅠ Thank you for giving me this precious opportunity once again... ㅠㅠ I love you, Hwahae...♥ Thank you so much!!! I apologize for posting this review so late. I fell asleep after getting home from work... ㅠㅠ I'm truly sorry.. ㅠㅠ √ Skin type and current condition ; I have combination dehydrated skin + somewhat sensitive and blemish-prone skin, so I'm quite particular when choosing skincare products. I love using pads and currently use a few different types. For creams, I prefer those without dimethicone (which I suspect doesn't agree with my skin) and only buy products without ingredients known to clog pores, like stearic acid. I tend to rely more on serums that work well for me, as I don't fully trust creams. These days, I'm still dealing with mask-related blemishes that come and go... ㅠㅠ My skincare routine usually consists of cleansing, wiping with pads + 1 serum + 1 cream or gel cream that suits me well. I switch up the pads, serums, or creams depending on how my skin feels each day. The pad I use most often is the Bella Monster Carrot Pad. (I use the carrot one because of my blemishes ㅠㅠ The sea tangle pad feels gentler, so I sometimes use that when my skin is very sensitive! The calamansi one doesn't seem to suit me, so I don't use it ㅠㅠ) √ Scent ; It's a familiar scent, but I can't quite place it... What was it.. ㅠㅠ Anyway, I find it just so-so.. There's also a bit of a sharp alcohol scent since the product contains alcohol. It feels cool but also a bit strong. It's similar to the scent of a tea tree toner I've used before~ It has a cool, strong scent that makes you feel like your face is being disinfected. √ Pad texture ; In my opinion, it's extremely soft~ I don't feel any irritation or stinging from the pad itself while wiping! (There is some tingling from the alcohol, but the pad material itself is excellent!) Even though the pad is gentle, it doesn't pill excessively or feel irritating. I really like this texture! As you can see in the photo, I've wiped my face, behind my ears, and chin two or three times with one pad, and it still looks intact~ I know pads can cause physical irritation, but.. I tend to use pads excessively.. wiping multiple times or using them daily. In most cases, if a pad is soft, it tends to fall apart or tear after a few uses... (With the Bella Monster Carrot Pad, I sometimes feel a rough thread-like texture? Something that feels a bit bothersome? But I didn't experience that with this product!) Out of all the pads I've tried so far, I think this product is the softest, most durable, and least irritating! √ Post-use feeling ; First of all, the feeling after use is exactly what I love - cool and refreshing! And it feels a bit strong.. I think it's mainly due to the alcohol content. If you have sensitive skin, blemishes, or have just extracted, it might sting a lot~ I fall into all three categories, but I kept using it because I couldn't resist the clean feeling afterwards.. ㅠㅠ Maybe I'm addicted... (As you can see in the tweezers photo, the pad has shrunk quite a bit after use.) My skin condition is at its worst, so I can't bring myself to post a face photo.. but after gently wiping with the pad and rinsing with water, my face feels instantly smooth and refreshed, which I really like! Make sure to rinse with water!!! I applied for this product because I'm interested in pads, but I almost made a big mistake by not reading the instructions carefully.. I almost used it like regular pads, wiping and patting before applying other skincare products, but if I had done that, I think my face would have broken out. I'm currently using it daily for this Hwahae Testers review, but I'll try adjusting the frequency of use and update if I notice anything unusual~ I'm thinking that using it daily might be causing irritation and keeping my blemishes around ^-^;; √ Overall impression ; I love it so much..♥ But I'll keep an eye on it for now +_+ The ingredients are good, and I like how it feels to use, but... I'm not sure if it's because my skin condition is quite bad right now or if the usage period has been shorter than expected ㅠㅠ I started using it from the day I received it, but my skin hasn't fully recovered yet.. I'd be able to give a more definitive opinion if my blemishes had subsided more, but I'm not sure if it's good for my skin or not at this point~ However, I!!! prefer a clean and refreshing feeling after cleansing rather than a moisturized and nourishing feel, so I think I'll keep using it addictively~ While I'm not certain about other areas due to my blemishes, I noticed that my blemish-free cheekbones look smooth and glossy after rinsing with water~ I really like that. √ Scent The alcohol scent is strong, giving it a very intense feel. Even if you hold your breath while wiping, the moment you breathe in, the scent hits deep in your nose.. I can tolerate it (at first it was strong, but after about 10 days of use, I think I've gotten used to it), but those sensitive to smells might find it difficult to use~ Regardless of whether you like the scent or not, it's strong and intense, so you need to mentally prepare yourself before using it... ^-^;; √ Price Honestly, I care more about whether a product suits my face than its price or quantity.. If I like it, I just buy and use it. But compared to other pads, it seems a bit on the pricey side! At 24,000 won for 60 sheets, it might be good to stock up when there's a discount. √ Don't forget to rinse with water after use!! It feels smoother to rinse immediately after wiping with the pad rather than waiting for some time. √ Due to the somewhat intense alcohol sensation, avoid leaving it on the skin! It might cause bumps to appear! √ I keep the tweezers inside the pad container! I carefully pick up the pad without touching it with my hands, use it, and put it back.. There's no separate space to store the tweezers, and I think keeping them inside is less likely to collect dust than leaving them on top of the lid~ I use clean hands to carefully pick up only the tweezers when using them. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinApr 16, 2021
Recently, with wearing masks at work and increased air pollution, I felt like my skin wasn't truly clean even after washing. This led to a lot of blemishes and stress. Then I discovered these Soon Plus pads! The idea of simply wiping them on as the last step of cleansing and rinsing off was perfect for someone like me who finds multiple skincare steps tedious. My sister and I tried them on our faces, necks, and elbows for two weeks. The pads would turn grimy, showing how much dirt was still on our skin even after thorough cleansing. We used up over half the pads, and the refreshing feeling afterwards was amazing! These pads really suited my skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth. I absolutely loved them! Well, my sister has sensitive skin and found the alcohol content too strong for her face, causing stinging and a burning sensation. So she only used them on her elbows and neck. They worked well for me, though! The only downside was the overpowering alcohol smell, which was a bit nauseating. Apart from that, they were great. Those with super sensitive skin might want to think twice before using these. These pads work wonderfully on elbows and the back of the neck. If you want to use them on your face, try the textured side around your nose and mouth. The smooth side can be used all over the face, except around the eyes. - Hwahae UserNormal SkinApr 16, 2021
I loved that it came with tongs to pick up each pad individually. The pads were sufficiently saturated. As my time of the month was approaching and I had some small blemishes popping up, I felt it had a soothing effect, probably due to the alcohol content. The product description mentioned it could be used on the back of the neck too, so I tried it there and it felt refreshing and cleansing! In my opinion, the alcohol scent was a bit strong. Don't use it around your eyes - it stings! I learned that the hard way, phew! Avoid the eye area! I recommend trying it on the back of your neck too! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinApr 16, 2021
This is my first review after winning a product! The expiration date was generous, and I appreciated the included tongs to avoid touching each pad directly. The real game-changer? My makeup application has been flawless since I started using these. Around day 3, I did notice it felt a bit intense, but the way my makeup sat on my skin was incredible. With the changing seasons, my skin's been super dry lately. While I've been trying various products, my routine typically ends with toner, serum, and a hydrating moisturizer. I'm quite particular about cleansing, so I'm excited to keep using this! Unless I develop any blemishes, I plan to make this a staple in my routine! There's a slight alcohol-like scent, which is a bit off-putting. I don't think I could use this daily. It might be best to use it two or three times a week to refine skin texture. Daily use could potentially be too intense for the skin. While the included tongs are convenient, I do feel a bit uneasy about reusing them later. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinApr 16, 2021
The Hwahae Testers I've tried to review this product even more meticulously and accurately than if I had bought it with my own money! For reference: 1. 20-year-old male 2. Slightly oily skin 3. Prone to blemishes... 4. Currently taking acne medication 5. Using this product every other day 6. Cleansing twice daily, morning and night Quick and punchy review Pros: 1. Despite concerns about alcohol content, it's surprisingly gentle! 2. Skin feels refreshed (excellent oil control?) 3. Significant reduction in oiliness after use!!! Cons: 1. Not suitable for those sensitive to alcohol 2. Not recommended for those with many blemishes or wounds (The alcohol can cause a stinging sensation!) 3. It's a bit of a hassle to use after cleansing and then rinse again (Not ideal if you dislike extra steps!) Overall impression: Although slightly inconvenient, it was non-irritating and seemed to effectively remove excess oil, leaving my skin feeling fresh and light. Highly recommended for the lightweight, refreshed feeling it gives your skin! However, if you're sensitive to alcohol, steer clear! ---Detailed Review--- Before use: I'm usually a bit sensitive to alcohol, so I tend to use very gentle products! I was worried about this product because it contains alcohol, even though it's naturally derived. I'm taking acne medication, but I still felt like my skin was getting a bit oily. After use: Due to concerns about the alcohol content, I used it every other evening rather than daily. Surprisingly gentle! I was surprised by how mild it was! It didn't feel slippery or leave a residue, and perhaps due to the alcohol content, it made my skin feel lighter! It also had a subtle cooling effect when used on skin that felt warm. Oil control? Usually, about 3 hours after cleansing, oil starts to build up on my forehead and nose, but after using this product, there was noticeably less oil production, and my skin didn't feel as congested! I'd strongly recommend this to those with oily skin, unless you're extremely sensitive to alcohol! Overall pros: Even when I had a few blemishes, using this product didn't cause irritation and actually seemed to have a calming effect. Most importantly, I've noticed that when my skin gets oily, my blemishes tend to worsen, but this product seemed to control oil while leaving my skin feeling fresh and light! I think this alone makes it worth using!!! One-line pro: Low irritation and highly effective! Enjoy smooth, fresh skin! Alcohol scent Those sensitive to fragrances might not like it... However, it's not as strong as rubbing alcohol or soju - there's just a slight alcohol scent at first, which quickly dissipates! Unless you're extremely sensitive, I think it's quite tolerable! Due to the alcohol content, it can be drying! Make sure to apply a good moisturizer afterward. After patting it onto your skin, just rinse lightly with water and you're done! - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinApr 16, 2021
As someone with dry, sensitive skin, I always check the ingredients on Hwahae before purchasing. I'm happy to report that this product doesn't contain any concerning ingredients, so I felt safe using it. Just remember, don't use it like a regular toner by leaving it on or simply wiping after cleansing! When buying cosmetics, I recommend reading about the product's purpose, functions, and usage instructions. This product is effective for removing fine dust from pores, eliminating harmful bacteria on the skin, and exfoliating dead skin cells. It should be used as the final step after cleansing - wipe once and then rinse off. After trying it, I found the cooling effect to be pleasant, and the embossed side of the cotton pad was excellent for removing any leftover product and dead skin cells. In terms of price, I wish they would increase the number of pads per package. Since it doesn't contain fragrance, the strong alcohol scent might be polarizing for some users. The biggest drawback for me was that even wiping near my eyes caused significant stinging. This is an aspect I really hope they improve. While I use a separate eye makeup remover, I wish the Muun Astringent Pads could be gentle enough to use around the eye area as well. Rather than using it daily, I use this product when I need extra exfoliation, after wearing heavy makeup, or following days with a lot of outdoor activity. It seems particularly effective at refining skin texture and removing any residual cosmetics that regular cleansing might miss. While my previous routine of cleansing gel followed by cleansing foam often left my skin feeling unsatisfied, switching to cleansing foam followed by the Muun Astringent Pads has left my skin feeling refreshed and well-maintained. - Hwahae UserOily SkinAcne SkinApr 15, 2021
After cleansing, it removed residue from areas I thought were already clean. Honestly, I was surprised to see how much it picked up even after using a cleansing water-soaked cotton pad. The alcohol scent startled me at first, but after reading the enclosed guide, I learned it passed low-irritation tests. It made me think about disinfecting my face like we do with hand sanitizer. I appreciate that it also helps with dead skin cells. Following the tip, I used it on my body too, which felt great. With 60 sheets, it seems like a generous amount. I really like that they included tweezers. The initial alcohol scent might be a bit strong, but holding your breath for a moment does the trick. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinApr 14, 2021
<The Hwahae Testers Winner Review> Effectively removes residual impurities after cleansing Convenient tweezers for easy single-pad removal, and pads are sufficiently saturated with product Not recommended for dry/super sensitive skin Strong alcohol scent Due to alcohol content, it leaves skin feeling very dry after use, requiring immediate rinsing Causes stinging and redness on application, persisting even after 3 days of use (Note: I have combination skin, not particularly sensitive, but this product still caused irritation) Pads are not soft enough Storing in the refrigerator for a cooling effect on T-zone and U-zone after cleansing (However, I've discontinued use due to stinging and redness)
