I have combination skin - oily in the T-zone and dry on the cheeks! I've tried using this Cynic Pad as a cleansing pad as well as a face mask. I'll explain how it performed in different categories. ✔️Packaging Some toner or essence pads have a twist-off cap, but this product has a flip-top lid, which is really convenient! After washing my face, I can just flip the lid up to access the pad immediately.😉 ✔️Fragrance It's fragrance-free! The lack of added fragrances is a plus for the skin. However, this was also a downside for me personally. I'll explain this in more detail in the cons section. ✔️Moisturizing Unlike other cleansing pads, this is an essence pad, so the moisturizing power is amazing! After using it as a cleansing pad, my skin feels just like I've applied a lotion. And when I use it as a face mask, my skin feels soft and supple, with a lasting sense of hydration. The amount of essence is also really generous! So it's fun to press down on the pad with the tweezers to watch the essence ooze out. ✔️Pad It's so soft and smooth! I was worried the lack of embossing wouldn't work well for cleansing, but it actually picks up dirt and impurities really well. However, since it's an essence pad, it's better suited for use as a face mask rather than a cleansing pad. And I usually store my sheet masks in the fridge, so using this chilled feels really refreshing! ✔️Price Personally, my cheeks are dry but my T-zone is oily, so using a regular face mask can be too much for my forehead and nose. That's why I like using this product just on my cheeks as a spot treatment. With 60 pads total, it's 22,000 won for 30 uses (2 pads per use), which isn't super expensive but still feels a bit pricey. The product itself is really great though! I just hope they can adjust the price or have more sales so more people can enjoy it.
ConsThere's a plastic-like scent that's common with fragrance-free products. Those with sensitive noses will know what I mean...!!!! I hope this can be improved over time.

So when choosing basic skincare products, the most important things I look for are whether they don't hurt when applied and whether they continue to be safe for my skin! However, with this product, I didn't feel any unpleasant sensations when using it, and my skin didn't have any particular issues even with continued use, so I felt it was gentle. ✨Moisturizing💦 I didn't really expect much moisturizing power from a pad product. I thought it would just be good for removing residue or using as a mini-pack. But the pad was surprisingly very moist, and there was a lot of essence absorbed in each pad, which really surprised me. So instead of using it just to wipe and clean, I ended up using the pad to apply the essence-like product to my face, and then only using a thin layer of toner afterwards. ✨Neat Packaging and Tweezers I liked that the tweezers were included in the initial packaging, and the container was easy to use without having to twist the cap, which was convenient. +) 2020.12.22 At first, the pads were too moist, so I wasn't sure how to use them properly. But as the winter dried out my skin severely, I found a good way to use them! In the winter, it seems better to use them like an ampoule or essence, rather than as a toner replacement. Wiping my skin with the pad before applying toner helped the essence-like product absorb better, and my skin, which had been dry and painful the next morning, seemed to improve...!!!! For those with dry skin like mine, using these pads as an essence or ampoule substitute could be a good idea.
ConsArtificial Fragrance....😢 To be honest, everything else is good, but the fragrance is a bit disappointing. I'm not usually very sensitive to skincare product fragrances, but with this product, I could definitely detect an artificial, factory-like scent as soon as I used it. That's really the only downside. For those who don't mind it like me, it may not be an issue, but for people who are sensitive to fragrances, it could be quite problematic.
TipAfter cleansing, I wiped my face with the pad, allowing the essence in the pad to be absorbed. In the final step, I applied the blueberry toner about 1-2 times in a very thin layer to help it absorb. Then I applied the Cynic cream that I had been using.

My skin is so sensitive and dry that most cosmetics quickly dry out my skin or cause severe itching, so I even had to take steroids for a long time. (Although I've stopped taking the medication, it's still an ongoing process.) The cream essence was too burdensome to scoop out with my bare hands, but they provided a plastic tweezer for the pads, which I was touched by the thoughtfulness. The essence is generously filled at the bottom, and the pads are highly absorbent, making them perfect for immediately relieving heat sensation and providing quick hydration after cleansing or showering. After gently smoothing the skin, placing one pad on each cheek makes the skin feel moist and soft. The pads are very soft and moist! I thought they would be thick since they're described as having 3 layers, but they were just the right thickness - not too thin to the point of tearing, and not too thick to irritate the skin. For some reason, using this product made me think of the La*ze Quick Cream Skin Pads. This is similar, but I think this one is even gentler. Personally, the La*ze Cream Skin didn't work well for me, causing severe itching and scratching until it bled, but this one seems to be a better fit. Even with my extremely dry skin, when the flaky skin around my eyes and lips becomes a problem, gently pressing this on and leaving it for about 3 minutes, then lightly wiping it off, can gently remove the flakes without irritation. As a flaky-skinned person, it seems to lift the dead skin that needs to come off while calming the rest. Please don't vigorously rub the flaky skin, as those are still part of your skin's outer layer that will eventually shed naturally. I've been using this morning and evening, and it's been easy to use without any issues. My routine is: Avène Mist - Cystic Super Moist Cream Essence Pads (for light skin smoothing and as a face mask, selectively on days with a lot of heat sensation) - Ampoule - Moisturizer - Occlusive Cream or Nourishing Cream.
ConsThe only downside is the price, which is quite steep for 60 pads. The scent is a bit like crayons, but it's similar to the rather crude fragrance of the La*ze Cream Skin.
TipThe generous cream essence may be a great fit for dry skin, but it's not recommended for oily skin types. I'd recommend trying this out if you're someone who likes to use the La*ze Cream Skin cotton pads as a face mask. It's great for pressing onto the skin when you have a lot of heat, or applying right after misting the face post-cleansing or showering. While not necessarily needing to be refrigerated, using it chilled feels much more soothing.

No matter what product I use, my skin becomes irritated, flushed, and breaks out during the adjustment period. In conclusion, this product only caused my skin to become slightly sensitive during the adjustment period, and no other skin issues arose.👍🏻👍🏻🍀 Even before wiping away the water after cleansing, my face feels taut and dry due to my extreme dryness. So I wipe my face with a toner-soaked cotton pad right after cleansing. Yet, my skin still feels very dry and tight.ㅠ After receiving this product, I wiped my face with the toner first, and then used these pads to further refresh my skin. My face is no longer dry or tight, and most importantly, it feels moisturized and supple, just like after applying a cream.🍀👍🏻 And the product packaging is really great!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Products that require twisting to open or have detachable lids can be a bit inconvenient to use with wet hands after cleansing, but this one has a fixed lid, making it really easy to use!
ConsI'm not sure if it's from the pads or the essence, but the product has a slightly artificial, factory-like scent...😂 However, I only noticed the scent when I opened the product and sniffed it directly. I didn't find the scent to be bothersome while using the product. Toner pads are generally quite expensive, and this product is also not inexpensive at 60 sheets.😢
TipKeeping it in your bathroom cabinet and using it right after cleansing will make it very convenient to use!! I think it would be especially great for those with dry skin.👍🏻 And keeping the tweezers clean and putting them back in the container makes it really easy to use.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ👍🏻
