I'm not a fan of pads that are overly saturated with toner, so I really liked this one. It holds just the right amount of product, allowing for quick absorption without making the next steps in my skincare routine feel heavy. The hydration level is spot-on - not too much, not too little, but just right! The pad's texture is unique, almost gauze-like? It's different from other pads I've tried. At first glance, I was concerned it might be too harsh, but upon use, it wasn't irritating at all. It effectively removed dead skin cells and seemed to refine my skin texture. After using the pad, my face felt incredibly smooth, which is great for prepping skin before makeup application. Overall, it's a solid, reliable pad. I'd recommend using it every 2-3 days rather than daily. When I used it every day, my face became slightly red, suggesting it might be a bit too much for daily use. The Hwahae Testers would likely approve of this product for its balanced approach to exfoliation and hydration!
ConsWhile it claims to improve blackheads, I haven't noticed any significant reduction yet. This could be because I haven't been using it for very long. However, I can confirm it's excellent for tackling whiteheads and removing dead skin cells!

Absorbs well into the skin 2. 70 pads! Oh yeah! 3. Unexpected soothing effect 4. The included tweezers grip well 5. Outer case is easy to open As someone who's tried almost every exfoliating pad, hydrating pad, and toner pad out there, I have to say I'm impressed. I recently used Medipeel's pads, but they unexpectedly caused some blemishes. After using the Poreless Pads for about a week, those blemishes have calmed down. I was worried the gauze-like texture might irritate my skin, but there was no irritation or puffiness. As for pores... I think I'll need to use them consistently to see results, but they do a great job of removing residue from the skin. I feel like with regular use, my pores will improve since nothing's building up in them.
Cons1. Feels like there's not enough toner 2. Inner plastic case is stiff to open 3. Minimal improvement for blackheads The pads could use more toner. After wiping, I want to leave the pad on my face, but it feels like it dries out quickly. The inner case is so stiff I almost sprained my wrist trying to open it. Also, I had high hopes for blackhead improvement, but it didn't quite meet my expectations in that area.
TipTry cutting the pads in half and placing them on your T-zone. It feels cool and gives the sensation of tightening pores. This method might be especially nice to use in the summer.

I even used soap for cleansing. 1. The essence? It contains just the right amount. Unlike others where I keep layering due to feeling wasteful and it ends up sitting on top of my skin, this one has just enough for the skin to absorb. 2. I have combination dehydrated skin, but there's no deep dryness. I was genuinely shocked when I woke up with zero oiliness after using only this before bed. My usual skincare products are for oily skin and focus on hydration, yet I still wake up super greasy. 3. It comes with tweezers, which seems fairly hygienic. 4. While the effects aren't dramatic, I feel like my pores have reduced. 5. I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but my skin feels more elastic. 6. It's not sticky at all, and doesn't leave my skin feeling suffocated. It finishes incredibly light and fresh.
Cons1. I'm not sure if it's just mine, but the lid was really hard to open at first. I tried everything from using a hair dryer to soaking it in hot water. 2. The seal is difficult to remove. 3. To be honest, I'm not sure about blackhead improvement. I did separate blackhead care, but didn't notice much difference. 4. The tweezers are transparent, so I often spend time looking for them. There's also no dedicated space to put them.
TipIt works well as a base before makeup, helping it adhere better.

This alone makes me 100% want to repurchase. ✔️Improved skin texture On days when I used the pads after cleansing, I noticed my skin looked visibly brighter and felt more refined compared to when I didn't use them. ✔️Textured side The textured side of the Poreless pads felt new and different, but I really liked it! I found it less irritating than other pads I've used.
Cons✔️Not effective for pore or blackhead removal While it definitely helps refine skin texture, it doesn't quite live up to the 'Poreless' name. ✔️Amount of essence The amount of essence on each pad felt a bit lacking. Using two pads at once works well though!

Unlike the original pads, these have a texture that's better at clearing away dead skin cells and excess oil. When I use this pad in the morning followed by a moisturizer or emulsion before makeup, my cushion or foundation goes on flawlessly! ✓ Hygienic tweezers included I previously used COSRX's original pads which didn't come with tweezers, so it was inconvenient. I'm glad these pads come with tweezers. ✓ Larger size compared to the original pads! I appreciate that these pads are bigger than the original ones.
Cons✗ Don't expect these pads to completely eliminate blackheads! I didn't do any specific blackhead care while using these pads. Even after using them, I didn't see a dramatic reduction in blackheads. The effect was minimal at best. So don't buy these if your main goal is to get rid of blackheads! ✗ The container is larger than the original While this could be seen as a plus, both the width and height have increased, making it less portable.
TipNot exactly a pro tip, but here's a comparison between the original pads and the Poreless pads! 1. The Poreless pads are larger and thinner compared to the original pads 2. Poreless pads come with tweezers 3. The original pads feel thicker, while the Poreless ones feel thinner and seem to be more effective at removing dead skin cells and clearing pores 4. For oily skin, the Poreless pads feel more refreshing and better at exfoliation. Using them in the morning after cleansing with water, followed by moisturizer and makeup, really helps the makeup go on smoothly without any dead skin cells!

I have combination skin prone to blemishes. From the day I received it, I've been following a daily pad routine. While the effects aren't immediate, consistent use seems to yield results! My nose used to have a rough texture, but now it's about 70% improved, and my overall skin texture has gotten better. I also loved that it came with a separate applicator! On evenings when I'm not wearing makeup and feel too lazy to wash my face, I quickly wipe with this and follow up with skincare - it's absolutely amazing!
ConsIf there's a downside, it's that blackheads and sebum don't come out easily. Even with consistent use, while it might remove sebum or blackheads that are ready to be extracted, it struggles with the ones that are in-between or larger.
TipDue to the pandemic, when you're not wearing makeup and staying at home, it's great to just wipe your face with this and follow up with skincare when you don't feel like washing your face!

While I'm not sure about its effectiveness on blackheads yet, I personally found it quite good for those tiny bumps. The exfoliation is excellent, making it especially great to use before makeup as it preps the skin nicely. I used to mainly use hydrating pads, so I wasn't aware of how well pads could exfoliate. After using this, my skin feels incredibly smooth, which I love.
ConsThe essence is a bit less than expected, which is disappointing. I worry it might dry out. If you're looking for a pad that provides a lot of hydration, I wouldn't recommend this. However, if you prefer a pad that's not too wet and gives a clean feeling, this could be for you. Although I've been using it consistently, I'm still not sure about its effectiveness on blackheads. The tweezers are transparent and weren't packaged with the pads, so I almost threw them away. Luckily, I found them when I was about to discard the box all at once.
TipUsing it before makeup gives the best skin finish, it's amazing!

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.Pros‼️This is a review from The Hwahae Testers.‼️ (After one week of use.) Before diving into the positives, I should mention that I have numerous blackheads and visible pores around my nose area, and I have combination dehydrated skin. I used the product as instructed on the packaging. 1️⃣Positive Point 1: After using the pad, it smoothed out the blackheads around my nose area nicely. Using the pad won't completely eliminate existing blackheads. However, it does refine protruding blackheads, making the affected areas feel smoother. 2️⃣Positive Point 2: Although the pad has a gauze-like texture, it wasn't harsh on the skin and effectively removed dead skin cells from my face. 3️⃣Positive Point 3: Despite having a scent similar to alcohol, which might suggest a drying effect, it didn't dry out my skin at all. There was plenty of essence, allowing for a moisturizing application. My skin remained hydrated even until the next morning. 4️⃣Positive Point 4: Unlike a previous COSRX pad I bought that didn't come with tweezers, forcing me to use my hands, this one included tweezers. This allowed for a more hygienic application.
ConsThe alcohol-like scent was a bit off-putting at first. While I've noticed effects on blackheads, I'm not yet sure about its impact on pores - I might need to use it longer to tell. The pads aren't irritating, but they're not exactly soft either.
TipI felt that after removing blackheads and using this product, new blackheads seemed to form more slowly. It might be worth trying to use this after removing blackheads in your preferred method.

I used it right after cleansing, and I didn't need any other skincare! There was a slight stickiness after absorption, but it was tolerable. 📌 Dead Skin Cell Removal (Brightening) This was an unexpected effect haha! I was worried the product wouldn't suit me, so I only used it on my right cheek, which I now regret.. It seems effective at removing dead skin cells! 📌 Ingredients You've probably heard of AHA, BHA, PHA, and LHA - they're all in this product! These four are said to tackle dead skin cells, sebum, and blackheads. Since they've done human trials, it should be perfect, right..? ((Though I did experience some unexpected blemishes.) 📌 Applicator / Design It might be a trivial point, but I love the design! The clean-looking lid is really appealing.
Cons⚠️ Amount of Essence This was one of the biggest disappointments. There's less essence compared to other pads. The top pads gradually dry out. I wouldn't recommend this to those who prefer pads soaked in essence! ⚠️ Pore Minimizing While it was great at removing dead skin cells, I didn't notice any pore-minimizing effects. Even after a few days, my blackheads remained unchanged. Am I paying too much attention? If anything, my pores seemed larger. Not recommended for those seeking quick results. They say you need to use it for 4 weeks to see a difference! Let's wait patiently. ⚠️ Blemishes I used it from my chin to my cheek (exactly half my face), and blemishes appeared only on the treated area. Did I use it too much? ⚠️ Another minor point, but you know the plastic wrap on the product? Even my older brother couldn't open it!
TipThe product material is like gauze, with one side soft and the other slightly rough. You can use this to your advantage! According to the product description, it can be used anywhere on the body. My mother uses it on her elbows and knees, haha.

It's great at removing dead skin cells. Even though I've been too busy to use my peeling gel lately, just using this keeps the dead skin cells from building up. My skin feels super smooth. The moisture is well-preserved. It's both a pro and a con, but opening the packaging was really tough. I think that's why the contents arrive so well-preserved. No blemishes appear. I have combination dehydrated skin that's super sensitive, but this doesn't cause any blemishes, which is why I'm so satisfied and plan to repurchase. You can use it on other areas with a lot of dead skin cells too. After cleansing my face, I used the remaining product on other parts of my body with lots of dead skin, and I could feel the difference. It's convenient. I used to use an exfoliating toner, but with this, I don't need to buy separate cotton pads or soak them in toner. Just buying this makes the process so much simpler. It's gentle. I was worried the COSRX pads might be harsh since I used to exfoliate with a cotton pad and toner, but my face doesn't get red at all.
ConsThe packaging is hard to open. As mentioned earlier, it's both a pro and a con, but from opening the lid to peeling off the seal, it takes so much strength that it's exhausting. I can't feel any difference in blackheads yet. Other than these, I haven't found any drawbacks yet, so I'm planning to repurchase.
TipIf you use it before applying makeup, your makeup goes on smoothly. It's also great for exfoliating areas of the body with a lot of dead skin cells. (I used it on my body for exfoliation after using it on my face.)
