The moisture seems to evaporate quickly when you remove the pad. However, I personally don't mind that too much.

As someone with sensitive skin prone to redness, I tried this product based on recommendations and I think it's quite good. It didn't cause any irritation.

모닝 수분 토너 패드

As I mentioned earlier, although it's marketed as a morning pad, I use it at night for soothing purposes. Since I use 4 pads at a time, I'm a bit worried I'll go through them quickly.

The sheet is so thin that sometimes it's difficult to pull out just one pad at a time.

This product is perfect for hydration recharge! The adherence is amazing, and the pad size is really huge! I've never used pads this big before. It feels so refreshing and great. The sheet is thin, making it more suitable for masking rather than wiping. I don't usually have time for a skin pack in the morning, so I use it in the evening for hydration and soothing. Just leave it on and relax! Despite the sheet being incredibly thin, it holds a sufficient amount of essence, which is very satisfying.

Instead of morning cleansing, gently wiping with a pad feels like it removes impurities produced during sleep. When used after cleansing, placing a sheet on the skin like a mask allows the essence to absorb evenly, which is great.

While it was good during use, the sheets were thin and stuck together, making them a bit tricky to separate. It's a shame the tweezers weren't securely attached.

It's hydrating without being unnecessarily thick, adheres well like a thin gauze mask, and best of all, it's packed with essence. I especially love that it has a double-layered protective sheet.

I always used these skin packs on days when I wanted my makeup to look flawless, or when I wanted to soothe my skin after wearing a mask all day. It seemed to help calm my skin, and I could feel the difference the next day.

The downside was that they don't provide an overwhelming sense of hydration, so my skin would easily become dry after removing them. Because of this, you need to follow up with skincare right away. I wish the pads contained more solution.

The pads are thin and soft, so they didn't cause any irritation! I found that when I used them as a skin pack for about 5 minutes before drying my hair or applying makeup in the morning, my makeup seemed to adhere better.

On busy mornings when there's no time for a lengthy skincare routine, I cut one pad in half and stick them on both cheeks while I get dressed and do my eyebrows. Then I remove the pads, quickly apply cream, and start my makeup - it goes on so smoothly! Since there's no time to leave the pads on for long in the morning, using half a pad on each cheek is more convenient and economical than using a whole pad per cheek.

The price is higher than I expected. I'd be willing to buy it if it were in the high teens, but at the regular price in the mid-twenties, I'm not so sure... At least at full price, I probably wouldn't purchase it.

*Scent
Both my mom and I are extremely sensitive to fragrances and really dislike strong floral scents reminiscent of old-fashioned cosmetics. However, this product's scent wasn't bothersome at all. It has a subtle, almost herbal aroma.

*Soothing Effect
What I loved most was how the pad thickness was just right, making it incredibly effective for soothing the skin. I previously used COSRX toner pads, but those were so thin that while they adhered well, the toner dried too quickly to provide much soothing benefit. This product, however, is thin enough to adhere well but doesn't let the toner evaporate too fast. After leaving it on for 5-7 minutes and removing it, I could see a noticeable reduction in facial redness.

*Pad Shape
Whoever designed the pad shape deserves major kudos! Round pads often leave uncovered areas on the cheeks and easily fall off the chin, which was really inconvenient. But these pads have a curved rectangular shape that fits perfectly on cheeks, chin, forehead, and other areas. As mentioned earlier, the thickness is also just right for excellent adherence.

The tweezers don't secure the pads well.
The thinness of the pads makes it difficult to pick up one at a time.
It's not very effective as an exfoliating toner.

The Hwahae Testers review:
Skin type: Combination dehydrated skin (occasionally gets blemishes on the nose or chin when using rich formulas or when sebum builds up)
First off, the pad material is incredibly thin and soft. The size is generous, and it's designed to fit facial contours, providing excellent adherence. It's perfect for placing on your cheeks before doing your makeup while blow-drying your hair! You won't have to worry about your skin drying out from the hairdryer, and it stays put even when you move your head around.
It's great as a mask alternative when your skin needs soothing. The gentle, high-quality ingredients make me feel confident about using it liberally.

For my morning routine, after cleansing, I wipe my face with these pads, then layer on hydrating toner twice, followed by a moisturizing cream and a hydrating sunscreen. This helps manage the dryness to some extent!

1. The pads are too thin and lack firmness. 2. They don't adhere to the skin as well as I'd like (slightly disappointing for a toner pack). 3. The container is larger than necessary for the pad size - it could be a bit smaller.

First off, as this is my first time being selected, I want to write a truly honest review after using it for two full weeks. My skin type is dry year-round, with deep dryness and prone to blemishes. Here's what I liked: 1. The pads are generously sized. 2. They absorb well, leaving skin hydrated. 3. There's plenty of toner in each pad. 4. The tweezers can be attached inside the lid for convenience. On days I wore makeup after using these pads, I definitely felt less dryness (I only use them in the morning). I've been consistently using these toner pads every morning since receiving them.

Doesn't give that deeply hydrated feeling all the way to the inner layers of the skin..

The pad's texture can pill if you wipe too hard, probably because it's so thin.

I'm part of the Hwahae Testers, but I was surprised by how pricey it is....

It's harder to take out the pads than I expected ;,;

First off, I was a bit surprised by how big it was when I received it. And it came in such luxurious packaging... ((Though when I opened it, the pads seemed smaller than expected..?? But they're still on the larger side compared to others...))

I've been using these as a mask from the start since the pads looked thin. It definitely feels like it absorbs better than just using a regular toner.

✨ Great for hydration! No oily residue!
After patting it in, my skin feels noticeably moisturized!
Just the right amount of minimal oil for oily skin types!

✨ Texture improvement
After using it as a mask and then wiping my entire face with the pad, I noticed it refined my skin texture.

✨ Haven't seen any dramatic improvements or changes in my skin yet... (after a month of use)

✨ Personally, I like the herbal scent it has.

✨ It's vegan...

It's a toner pad that sticks to the basics. 
Nothing particularly outstanding or problematic!
However, it might not be enough on its own for a morning routine ;,;

Make sure to only use the morning toner pads in the morning!

It's not great as an exfoliating toner, unfortunately. When I put it on my face, I felt a burning and tingling sensation... The scent was really... not to my liking. I wish it were unscented instead. There might have been an ingredient that didn't agree with my skin because I developed a lot of small blemishes... I had to stop using it. I strongly recommend patch testing before use! Even when I carefully put the tweezers back, they kept escaping, and the container leaks even when tightly closed.

Unlike other toner packs, this one adheres well when applied like a mask and doesn't easily come off! I loved how my makeup went on smoothly when I applied it in the morning and let it sit for a while before doing my makeup. It really looks more like a mask than a toner pad. The curved shape made it easy to apply to the face. The pads are quite large, and it seems like there's a generous amount of product.

It's wonderful to use as a quick hydrating mask before makeup, leaving your skin feeling beautifully moisturized.

If I had to nitpick, the pads are so thin they can be a bit tricky to separate. Also, the tweezers attached to the lid occasionally come loose.

The fragrance is absolutely divine - a subtle iced tea scent? It's totally amazing! The toner is so generous in quantity, making my skin feel incredibly hydrated. There were plenty of pads too. The pads are soft and thin, making them super convenient to use. It was great for a quick skin pack before applying makeup. I'm really tempted to buy the night version too!

After using as a skin pack, apply your moisturizer before the toner evaporates

- While there's no deep dryness after use, it doesn't seem to address dehydration issues
- Moisture evaporates quickly once the pad is removed
- Doesn't reduce the heat sensation from redness (lacks soothing effect)

* Oddly, it didn't suit my skin and caused blemishes. As I have super sensitive skin, it might require an adjustment period.

✔️Skin type: Sensitive with severe redness, deep dryness, dry skin
✔️Used as a 5-7 minute skin pack after morning and evening cleansing, before applying any other products

- The pads are wide, making them excellent for use as a skin pack, and their contoured shape fits facial features well (used 4 pads total for cheeks, forehead, and mouth)
- The pads are neither too thick nor too thin, allowing for good adherence to the skin
- Pleasant fragrance, which I personally like
- Generous amount of toner
- Sturdy container with a separate compartment for the tweezers, ensuring hygienic use
