This review is based on about 10 days of use. While subjective, I've tried to be honest in my assessment. About me: Sensitive, combination dehydrated skin prone to oiliness, don't wear makeup, prone to redness. ✅ Packaging: I appreciated that everything from the shipping box to the product packaging was made of recyclable paper. The pad container has a built-in tweezer, which is great for hygienic use. = *Eco-friendly and hygienic ✅ Ingredients: As someone with super sensitive skin that reacts to even one harmful ingredient flagged on Hwahae, I was relieved to see the product information. (Gentle ingredients + eggplant extract + vegan pads) I'm so happy the ingredients are kind to the skin! = *Gentle ingredients for sensitive skin ✅ Product effects (user experience): True to its 'blemish clear' name, it feels cool on the skin immediately. After cleansing with toner and applying serum, it feels like my skin has an extra layer of refinement. !!!The gentle embossing means it doesn't hurt even with repeated use!!! 💙 If I had to describe this product? 💙 #VeganPads #GentleIngredients #InstantResults #SoothingEffect #BuiltInTweezers #Hygienic #UltraGentle #BackToBasics
Cons✔️ Price and quantity: 200ml/70 pads for 29,500 won doesn't seem very cost-effective for regular use. ✔️ It might be too drying for those with dry skin.
Tip💙 Try keeping it in the fridge! When your skin feels hot, place it on for 5-10 minutes for an instant soothing effect :D

Cons- The size might be a bit inconvenient for carrying around. - Compared to other pads, the serum seems to absorb into the skin a bit more slowly.
TipThese pads are generously infused with serum. After using both sides on your face, you can use any remaining serum on areas of concern like your chest or shins for extra hydration and care.

Built-in tweezers 💖 When you open the lid, there's a clever little compartment between the lid and the product (sorry, no photo!) where you can store the included tweezers. It's so neat and convenient! Other brands' tweezers often get dirty easily, but even though this container is a bit larger, I love the built-in tweezers so much that I'll probably keep the container. 2. Incredibly gentle ingredients and scent, with a cute 🍆 (eggplant) concept! The ingredients are so good that I applied through The Hwahae Testers to receive this product. They even included a sheet mask (which I haven't tried yet as it seems like it needs to be used right after opening). I'm touched! So I'll write an even more honest, thorough, and 'objective' review. Thank you so much! 🥰 Carrot, eggplant, broccoli, cucumber, aloe, tomato... Many brands use food ingredients, but eggplant is quite unique! The packaging really brings out the Free Up concept (natural and gentle), with a beautiful and mood-lifting light purple color. 3. Effectiveness for blemishes, oil control, and exfoliation There were three types of Free Up pads, and I had finished using the one for exfoliation, oil control, and pore care (you know, the famous green product that starts with 'S' and has a minty feel). I applied for this one to treat adult acne and whiteheads. I had one whitehead in the middle of my forehead and a couple of pimples along my hairline, so I used this for intensive nighttime care and uploaded comparison photos. The result? The large whitehead got smaller, and the excess sebum on my chin visibly decreased and looked more refined. Overall, my complexion became calmer and more balanced! It's so gentle that I can use it on my neck, elbows, and even... underarms. It's great for removing any leftover deodorant or sunscreen residue! 4. Skin reactions I have extremely dry, atopic skin but still struggle with excess oil and sweat. Even with famous products that have good ingredients, I often get small bumps, hives, itching, or breakouts. But with this product, I had none of those issues! This may vary from person to person, but that was my experience. (As a Hwahae Tester, I've honestly reported when I got hives from other products, and I'm still only using those on areas that didn't react.) 5. Comparison with other brands The small green tub 'S' product I used before was honestly... if you pressed too hard, the exfoliation could be so intense that it could make you bleed. It was effective, but so strong that I could never use it more than 3 times a week. The Free Up Blemish Pad is easy to use daily. It's great for refreshing your skin on summer mornings when you wake up sweaty, giving a cool minty feel that leaves your skin feeling clean and prepped for makeup. 6. Ease of use compared to other pads I tend to reach for pads that are soft and adhere well to the skin. If they're stiff, rough, or don't have enough solution, I'm less likely to use them. But these? I find myself using them so often! The scent is pleasantly subtle with a minty feel that puts me in a good mood.
ConsIt's not really a downside, but... Based on the reviews and the large container size, I expected the pads to be huge when I read that one pad was enough. However, they're about the size of the back of a woman's hand. They're a good, generous size, but not exceptionally large. So, the container could probably be a bit smaller and lighter for easier storage in the fridge or on bathroom shelves. Also, I wish they were a bit softer... I've used and really liked very thin, non-embossed pads from another company. The other three types all had embossing which caused some irritation. Even among popular products, some can be stiff with little solution and cause irritation due to the pad itself. Not all embossed pads are harsh, though. These are actually the least irritating and one of the softest among embossed pads, with good adherence to the skin. But I just can't forget how nice those super thin, pack-like pads from another brand felt.
TipUsing these in the morning leaves me feeling refreshed and organized, setting a positive tone for the day. Rather than intensive care, it feels more like a high-performance exfoliating toner that's perfect for daily use. I'm extremely satisfied! The pads are so gentle that I can use them on my neck, elbows, underarms... They're great for removing any leftover deodorant or sunscreen residue! Storing them in the fridge makes the experience even more enjoyable!

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.ProsAs one of The Hwahae Testers, I'm writing this review after being selected to try the product. 1. The packaging is sleek and attractive 2. Comes with built-in tweezers 3. Features a double cap and a convenient handle for easy lifting 4. Generous amount of essence(?) 5. The pads don't easily produce lint and aren't particularly irritating - Some pads start to fray after one or two uses, but these held up well even after multiple uses 6. A single pad provides enough moisture (personal opinion)
Cons1. It's rather ordinary - This is both a pro and a con... truly unremarkable 2. The texture feels slightly heavy for summer use - While not sticky, it doesn't absorb quickly, which might be hit or miss for some 3. Due to the somewhat heavy feel, if you wipe the remaining essence on areas like your neck, it can be a bit... Like others have suggested, it might be good to try storing it in the fridge before use!
