Here's my review: 💙 Decent moisturizing power even as a toner pad First impressions, this product felt moisturizing and not dry at all, even though it's a toner pad. The pads I've used before would often feel dry right after wiping. But this one maintained a dewy, moisturized feel for a long time, so I felt the moisturizing power was good. This product changed my preconceived notions about toner pads! 💙 Almost no irritation when wiping I was really surprised that there was zero irritation when wiping it on my skin... When I first saw the pad, the brown cotton-like texture made me think it might be a bit rough, but it wiped on smoothly and gently. Other toner pads I've used often felt coarse and scratchy, especially those with embossed or gauze-like textures. But this one didn't have that unpleasant feeling at all. 💙 Generous pad size and essence amount The pads have an oval shape, not too thick, and a nice generous size. Comparing it to another toner pad I had, this one is the larger oval shape, while the other is a smaller round one. The generous pad size and well-saturated essence make it suitable to use as a spot mask on the cheeks, not just for toning. 💙 Convenient packaging The product has a one-touch lid, not a twist-open cap, which is great for when I'm in a hurry or want to quickly do my nighttime skincare before bed. And it has an internal clip to grab the pads one by one without directly touching them. The clip can also be stored inside the one-touch lid, so I don't have to worry about losing it. The thoughtful user-friendly design of this product was really appreciated.
Cons🖤 May be a bit oily for combination or oily skin types I noticed that using this toner pad made my skin feel a bit more oily compared to the regular toner I usually use. It was fine when I used it at night or on days I wasn't wearing makeup, but on days I needed to apply makeup, my skin felt a bit too oily. So when using this product, I adjusted some of my other skincare steps, like using a different cream or serum. 🖤 Exfoliation function is a bit lacking This isn't really a downside, but more of a personal preference. When I think of toner pads, I usually expect some level of exfoliation. But this product seems to be more focused on providing hydration with minimal irritation, rather than exfoliation. So those looking for a stronger exfoliating effect may find this a bit lacking in that area. While it didn't provide intense exfoliation, I did feel it helped smooth out my skin texture and reduced visible flakiness. As for the brightening claim, since I didn't use it for more than a month or so, I can't say for certain if I noticed a clear brightening effect. It was a bit inconclusive for me. If I do see more noticeable brightening results with continued use, I'll be sure to update my review.
Tip💘 I would recommend this more for dry or combination skin types who are looking for hydration, rather than for oily or combination-oily skin. 💘 You can also use it as a spot mask on drier areas like the cheeks.

I recommend it to those of you with sensitive, dry skin like me~~
ConsIt feels incredibly gentle, so there's really no downside, but those with oily skin may find it a bit heavy~
TipWhen I use it like a pack on my face before makeup, it definitely brightens up my complexion!

First, when I received the product, I liked the neat design. I was also satisfied that it came with a clip and had a place to store the clip as well. :) The size of the pad was also large, so it was easy to apply it to my cheeks like a face pack. Irritation: Since the pad is made of cotton, there was no irritation on my skin, which was great. I have sensitive skin, and even a slightly rough pad can make my skin turn red, but this pad did not cause any irritation! Exfoliation: The product does not provide intense exfoliation, but it gently removes some dead skin cells while leaving some behind, so it was fine to use it daily. :) If you need to exfoliate quickly, you may want to use a different product instead of this one! Ingredients and Breakouts: There were no harmful ingredients, and the product did not contain any ingredients that didn't agree with my skin, so I didn't experience any breakouts! The pH level is 4.5, so I used it without any concerns. Redness and Whitening: I have mild redness, and this product was quite effective in reducing it. I wasn't sure about the immediate whitening effect, but after using it consistently for 8 days, the acne scars on my skin became a bit lighter.
ConsPrice: The price seems a bit high. It would be great if they have frequent discounts! Essence Amount: I felt that the amount of essence was quite insufficient. The pad didn't feel well-saturated, and there was no 'sticking' sensation when I applied it to my cheeks. It also felt like it dried up quickly. ㅠㅠ Finish: Since the essence has more oil than moisture, there was a bit of a greasy feeling, so oily skin types may find it too heavy.

One pad can handle all the care, and when used as a pack, 3 pads are enough to cover both cheeks and the forehead sufficiently (7cm). 🐾 100% unbleached cotton fabric. I've tried various other pads, and the embossed parts are usually too irritating, but this product's embossed parts are very soft and non-irritating. 🐾 No whitening, moisturizing (10-fold hyaluronic acid), fragrance-free, and slightly acidic. My skin is sensitive, but the ingredients are good, and I didn't have any breakouts.
Cons🐾 Compared to other toner pads, the essence seems a bit lacking, with an ambiguous amount. 🐾 It feels more oily than moisturizing, with a slippery sensation. 🐾 There's no feeling of exfoliation or skin texture improvement. 🐾 It's a bit difficult to pick up the pads one by one.
TipAs time passes, oil tends to build up in the T-zone, and I can feel the oiliness from the product, so I use it before my morning makeup routine without applying a separate essence.

When wiping, it just glides smoothly without any irritation, and the feel is great. When using it like a pack, attaching one to each cheek covers almost the entire face. It's made with 100% unbleached organic cotton, which gives an even better feel.ㅎㅎ 👍Built-in Clip Case - I really liked that the case has a clip built into the inside of the lid, where you can insert the clip. Most other pads either don't have a clip or provide it separately, which makes hygiene management difficult, but this pad's easy clip usage is a big advantage. 👍Gentle Ingredients and Abundant Moisture - I have sensitive skin with eczema, but the all-green ingredients give me great peace of mind to use it. And it has an abundance of moisture. When I use it as a pack in the evening and take it off, my skin has a glow. So it works great on dry areas like the neck.
ConsMy skin type is combination with an oily T-zone. So it felt a bit heavy for me to use as the first step in my skincare routine. When I used it in the morning, the abundant moisture meant I didn't even need to apply my final moisturizer.ㅎㅎ As the weather got warmer and I started wearing masks, the excessive moisture felt too heavy on my face. But since it's not an oily moisture but a watery one, I didn't get any breakouts! That's why I only use it in the evenings now. It works great as a pack, and since my body tends to be dry, I use it on other body parts as wellㅎㅎ
Tip💙 It would work better for those with dry skin rather than combination skin! 💙 As a combination skin type, I found it works well for me in the dead of winter or on dry body parts. And it's great to use as a pack too. I got a similar feel to the Innisfree Honey Pack. I also found it helpful for using on dry, itchy areas of the body. It's convenient when you don't want to bother with body cream.

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.Pros1) The pad itself is odorless, so it is highly recommended for those who dislike the artificial scent of cosmetics. 2) The pad is also slightly eco-friendly, so it is recommended for people with sensitive skin. 3) Surprisingly, the pad absorbs a lot of the contents, so one pad is sufficient to apply and absorb on the face. 4) As the name 'Toning Toner Pad' suggests, you can feel a slight brightening of the skin tone after cleansing and wiping with the pad. 5) It is more suitable for dry skin types that lack oil rather than oily skin. 6) The built-in tweezers make it very satisfactory in terms of hygiene. 7) The slight cooling sensation is good when the skin feels heated before makeup. 8) The pad effectively removes dead skin cells and refines the skin texture. 9) The large size of the pad is perfect for using as a toner pack (it stretches well).
Cons1) While the skin absorbs moisture, a slight oiliness can be felt, so it is more recommended for dry skin types than oily skin. Honestly, there don't seem to be any major downsides. I'm using it quite satisfactorily, and I'm not sure about repurchasing, but I haven't regretted using it!! It's fairly average, but I wish I could see a more immediate brightening effect!! I'd recommend it to those who want that. -> However, the brightening effect is not dramatically noticeable, only a slight brightening effect.
