While I mainly use it as a toner, I'd only recommend it for those looking to use it as a mask. It has a herbal scent, maybe mugwort? It smells like it would be good for the skin. I've used about half of it, but haven't noticed any significant soothing effects. The ampoule comes in a generous amount with a nice, fluid consistency.
ConsThe pads aren't made of split cotton, but rather a single-layer, cotton-like material. Using them to wipe can cause irritation to the skin. While the pad itself isn't rough, the wiping motion feels abrasive on the skin, so I probably won't repurchase. It would be great if they could improve the pad material. Please check the material in the photo below.

It has a toner-like consistency that's not too heavy, making it suitable even for those with oily skin. It's perfect for people looking for a lightweight pad pack. # Pad Material The product page describes them as 'tank pads', and they truly hold a lot of essence. They're like half-cotton pads but slightly thicker. The material tears easily, which is great for using on tricky areas like the nose and chin where a whole pad might be too much! # Pad Size The pads are quite large, about 7cm I think. They're big enough to cover an entire cheek, which this chubby-cheeked user appreciates... haha! # Scent Having tried the Mugwort line ampoule too, I can say it has that typical intense medicinal/herbal mugwort smell. While the scent is quite strong, you do get used to it, and it's less intense than the ampoule. Personally, I like it - it gives me the feeling that it's working to improve my skin! # Essence The essence is really generous! The pads are soaked in so much that they don't dry out quickly, and there's still essence sloshing around in the container after you've used all the pads! I had enough leftover essence to soak 8 cotton pads for an extra mask routine.
Cons# Packaging To be honest, the packaging isn't the most user-friendly. Many pad products these days come in cases with a one-touch opening and a place to store the tweezers. The Mugwort pads have a screw-top container with no space for tweezers, which is a bit inconvenient.
TipI recommend this for those looking for pads that can be torn and used as a mask pack, focusing more on hydration than deep moisturization. However, I wouldn't recommend it to those sensitive to strong scents or those who prioritize packaging convenience.

My mom pulled this out for me. At first, I was reluctant to use it because the design and name weren't appealing. But since it was from my mom, I gave it a try. And wow, it was great! My acne was so severe that my face always felt hot, but this product reduced that burning sensation and provided decent hydration. Plus, the pads are huge! They cover your entire cheek area!
ConsHowever, the texture of the pads is quite rough. Also, the scent isn't great - it's a very natural fragrance that just wasn't my style, unfortunately.

ConsThe upper pads don't seem to absorb much of the essence.

There's a lot of product, and as you use it, you'll find it's great for calming blemishes! I think it would be even more effective if you keep it in the refrigerator.
ConsThe pads are absolutely terrible. Honestly, these are the worst pads I've ever used. They feel like cheap school uniform fabric, so they don't adhere well to the skin and are difficult to split in two. Also, when used as an exfoliating toner, there's a rough feeling. While the toner itself is soothing, the pads seem to make the skin more sensitive. I ended up buying separate pads from Coupang to use instead. I really can't recommend this product because of the pads.
TipIs it really worth buying? There are so many great pads out there. I'd suggest checking what the pads feel like first, and if you're okay with them, then go ahead and purchase. But if you think you'll end up buying different pads to replace these, just don't bother. It's a waste of money. I'm glad I bought this during a sale event, because if I had paid full price, I would have really regretted it.

They remained saturated right to the end. For the very last one, I even put half a cotton pad in to absorb the remaining ampoule and used it as a mini mask! After using these, your skin feels wonderfully hydrated! Also, they're not particularly irritating - just a gentle, easy-to-use product. If you're a fan of mugwort, you'll likely love these!
ConsTo be completely honest! While it's marketed primarily for soothing, I... I...!!! I didn't feel it was particularly effective for soothing, blemishes, or hydration. I couldn't say it was great, decent, or something I'd recommend or repurchase...!!! I really struggled to finish the pack!
TipThe Hwahae Testers often have sales... That's the best time to buy!

It's perfect as a soothing, hydrating toner pad. The toner is plentiful and nicely hydrating, and the pads are soft, making them ideal for a toner pack. It feels more like a water-based toner than an essence. The large size of the pads is great for placing one each on the cheeks, forehead, and chin. For those who prefer exfoliating toners for dead skin cell removal, the texture might be a bit disappointing. It's not gauze or embossed cotton, just a soft pad surface! Highly recommended for those looking for hydrating toner pads to place on cheeks and forehead before makeup.
ConsThe pads are a bit thick, so I've been splitting them in half like carrot pads. However, when split, the pad tends to create a lot of lint-like fuzz that sticks to hands and skin. It's not bothersome when used as a pack, but it can be a bit irritating when rubbing. Although I'm on my fourth bottle, I haven't noticed significant soothing effects... I might try something different next time.
TipBefore applying makeup in the morning, split a pad in half, place one on each cheek for 5 minutes, and then do your makeup - it absorbs well and creates a nice base. Since there's plenty of toner, you could just buy replacement pads to use with it. The photo shows about 1/3 of the toner remaining.

The pads are thick and have a soft texture that doesn't irritate the skin when wiping, which I really appreciated. 2. There's a generous amount of essence. 3. It's hydrating and gentle enough for my sensitive skin, causing no irritation! If you're looking for a reliable pad, I highly recommend these! They seem suitable for all skin types.
ConsI wish the tweezers could be stored inside the lid. Unfortunately, I lost mine...
TipThese are great for use after cleansing! I loved that the thick pads don't cause much irritation to the skin.

Many pads I've used before had little to no essence at the bottom, so this is great. The pads are huge, so I feel it's a bit wasteful to use two at once. I cut one in half and use it like a skin pack on both cheeks - half is more than enough! I'm not sure what mugwort is supposed to smell like, but these have a fresh, healthy scent. The texture of the pads is soft and spongy, like cotton puffs. I'd say they're about as thick as two uncut cotton puffs soaked in essence. They're surprisingly thick!
ConsWhile it's nice that pad products come with tweezers, it can be a hassle to keep them hygienic. But not including them feels a bit off too... I wish there was a way to store the tweezers inside the lid for convenience.
TipSince there's so much essence, after you've used all the pads, you could soak cotton puffs in the leftover essence. (Cotton puffs are about 3,400 won for 40 pieces, but there's a budget version at Daiso with 72 half-sized cotton pads for just 2,000 won! It's a great deal - everyone should try it!)
