I bought the Artemisia Pad for my teenage daughter with acne, but surprisingly, it's not just great for her - it's amazing for my extremely dry skin in my 40s too! Despite my initial prejudice that it might smell like mugwort because of the name, the scent is actually quite mild. What's truly impressive is how incredibly hydrating it is. Some pads tend to dry out quickly after use, but this product maintains its moisture so well. I think it would work wonderfully as an exfoliating toner or for the 7-skin method!
ConsThe only downside is the price, but I'll definitely be stocking up during Missha's sales!
TipThis product seems suitable for all skin types, whether you have dry or oily skin. It's gentle enough for everyone to use without worry. The hydration power is absolutely top-notch! I think it would be excellent for dry skin or calming blemishes. Whether you use it as an exfoliating toner or for the 7-skin method, it's satisfying in every aspect of use!

They're definitely gentle. Initially, I bought the whole range - mist, cream, cleansing foam - because a store employee said it was great for teen acne. For me, it's not a miracle worker, but there's a slight calming effect. The main difference is how soft my skin feels afterwards. It's definitely hydrating. The products are gentle, so even those with sensitive skin should be able to use them. The absorption is smooth too.
ConsFirst off, it really stings if it gets in your eyes! The serum drips from the sheet and can easily get into your eyes. For me, it doesn't seem to be very effective at calming blemishes, and considering its lack of effectiveness, it's a bit pricey.
TipI start by washing my face with the mugwort cleansing foam, then apply the pad. After waiting 10-15 minutes, I remove it and let the essence absorb. Next, I spritz on the mist. Then, I pat on the mugwort serum, let it absorb, and apply the mugwort cream. After letting it absorb slightly, I place an oil blotting sheet on top and remove it after about a minute. (I've also used cleansing oil or Innisfree cream as additional steps.)

Great to use when your skin feels hot. - The pad size is quite large, covering the entire cheek area! - It's not completely round but slightly concave, so it doesn't cover your eyes when placed on the cheeks - that's a plus! - When used at the first sign of blemishes, they disappear quickly.
Cons- Personally, while it feels hydrating, I don't find it particularly moisturizing. If you're looking for deep hydration, I'd recommend applying a moisturizing cream or trying a different product. - I found the pads quite thick, making it difficult to use as a mask without cutting them in half. (They split cleanly in half, though.)
TipAfter completing your skincare routine, cut the pad in half and apply it like a mask! It splits cleanly in half, making it easy to apply. The twist-open lid can be a bit annoying, so I've replaced it with a similar-sized one-touch lid from another product for easier use.

My face tends to get quite warm after showering, but when I apply this, I can feel the hydration and calming effect right away. It's really effective at reducing that heat sensation. - My makeup seems to apply more smoothly the next day too.
Cons- While there's a pair of tweezers included, it's a shame you can't store them inside the lid of the product. - Initially, the ampoule is quite watery and tends to drip excessively. - The pads themselves could use a bit more adhesion to the skin.
TipI keep them in the refrigerator for a refreshing, cool application.

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.

It gives off a traditional herbal medicine vibe, which I love - helps me sleep like a baby! The cream is incredibly hydrating and moisturizing.
ConsIt was completely incompatible with my facial skin, so I had to stop using it immediately after trying it once.
TipSince it didn't work for my face, I used it on my body instead. Now my body smells like mugwort? On the bright side, it leaves my elbows smooth, hydrated, and incredibly soft.

After washing my face, I can stick it on my cheeks and forehead, and even while drying my hair, it doesn't come off at all. It's thin, so the adhesion is really excellent. What's great is that even when using it for the first time, there's no breakouts or anything like that. It stays moisturizing, so even after peeling it off your face, you can apply the remaining essence to your neck and still feel the hydration.
ConsI haven't found any drawbacks yet. Especially in terms of user experience, it's so good that I can't feel any discomfort. Plus, the amount is so generous that it's great value for money.
TipIt's fantastic to stick it on your cheeks, wipe your face clean, and then apply the remaining moisture to your neck.

It feels more like a toner than an ampoule. With its focus on hydration rather than moisture, it's perfect for oily or combination dehydrated skin types looking for a soothing product. If you have dry skin, it's ideal for summer use. During seasonal changes or winter, finish with a cream for best results. For a hydration boost, apply a sheet mask before blow-drying your hair after washing. It's amazing how it calms redness and blemish-prone skin.
ConsThe initial scent takes some getting used to. It has a strong, distinct mugwort aroma that might be off-putting at first.
TipThe pads are pleasantly thick. It's great that they come separated into two pieces for convenience.

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!
