The ingredients are great, and it's gentle due to its slightly acidic pH. The cotton pads are soft, making them comfortable to use. When using it for the 7-skin method, I recommend applying it very gently. The areas where I applied the toner are wonderfully hydrated!
ConsThe pads are too thick to use as a toner mask. I've tried several times, but they keep falling off. Also, it doesn't seem to be a cost-effective option for those who use toner pads frequently or daily.
TipI've seen reviews mentioning skin sensitivity after using this for the 7-skin method. Even with gentle application, it seems the 7-skin method isn't suitable for sensitive skin. Personally, I only use it for this method once or twice a week!

While it felt slightly stimulating, possibly due to its mildly acidic nature, it didn't cause any breakouts or redness. I used it as an exfoliating toner every three days. Despite being an exfoliating toner, the thick pads allowed for a gentler application. I found that pressing them onto my skin like a stamp reduced irritation. Initially, there was some stimulation, but with continued use, my skin became more hydrated and less irritated. That's a plus! The thick pads are nice, but it means fewer pads per package. Considering the price, thinner, more adherent pads might not be a bad idea. The ampoule is quite moisturizing - it would be great if it could be used as a mask. Also, they're a bit small? I have relatively small hands, but they're still uncomfortable to use. If only they were slightly larger... #Packaging It's the epitome of sleekness. The packaging seems to have been redesigned, and it definitely looks more premium now that it's cleaner. However, it's a bit inconvenient that you can't open the lid directly and have to twist it open. It would have been nice if they changed this during the redesign... There's no built-in tweezer, which isn't great for hygiene. Though honestly, I often just used my fingers to apply them. #Texture It feels more like a skin toner than an ampoule. But it's moisturizing and long-lasting. I wore makeup one day, and it applied beautifully. #Scent I didn't notice any particularly strong fragrance.
ConsOverall impression: The ampoule is great, making this feel like a well-formulated toner pad. The only downside is that the pads are small and thick, so they don't adhere perfectly and feel a bit loose when using, which is inconvenient. The toner is good, but the pads could use improvement.

Skin type: Acne-prone, sensitive, oily skin Texture: Pads made of 100% cotton, soft to the touch and saturated with moisture Ingredients: 90% sea water, contains sea salt, slightly acidic with pH 5.0, making it gentle and non-irritating Scent: Nearly fragrance-free Application: The sea salt content allows for dead skin cell removal. Despite having sensitive skin, the pure cotton feels gentle and pleasant. The dual-sided pads are great for customizing use based on skin condition. Honest review: As someone with acne-prone skin, gentle exfoliation and care are crucial. These pads offer both effective dead skin cell management and a gentle feel. Except when skin is extremely sensitive, they help reduce redness from blemishes, which I appreciate.
ConsThe lack of included tweezers means you have to separate the pads by hand, which is slightly inconvenient. When skin is extremely sensitive, using these pads may cause a slight tingling sensation.
TipAfter using an exfoliating toner, it's beneficial to use any remaining product on the body for additional dead skin cell management.

The product description states it's low pH and gentle, only removing dead skin cells. During the changing seasons when blemishes tend to flare up, I noticed they seemed to calm down a bit, so I feel it helped. Looking at the ingredient list on Hwahae, I think this might be the most satisfying toner pad. They've clearly put a lot of thought into both the pads and the ingredients. There are some reviews mentioning the price point, but I think it's justified.
ConsBecause the pads are thick, they tend to fall off when used as a mask while moving around. It's better to cover with plastic wrap or use a silicone mask cover from Daiso. It's a bit disappointing that there's no built-in tweezer. It would be nice if there was a case on the outside or inside of the lid where you could attach one.
TipSince I have super sensitive skin, I only used it once a day. I wiped away impurities before my morning cleanse, and it reduced the appearance of flaking skin and improved my complexion when applying makeup.

Even when using an exfoliating toner, it didn't irritate my skin much, which I appreciated. The thickness is also just right for exfoliating toner use. It also produces noticeably less lint. ✦ Slightly Acidic I felt more at ease using it knowing the toner inside is slightly acidic. ✦ Balanced Hydration While it doesn't provide an overwhelming moisture boost, it leaves the skin comfortably hydrated after use. It might feel a bit lacking for those with dry skin, but for combination skin like mine or oily skin types, the hydration level seems just right. ✦ Fresh Finish With its light and fresh texture, those who prefer this type of finish will surely love it. It's not burdensome to use even in hot summer weather. It's also great for cooling down the skin before makeup! It reduces skin temperature while providing just the right amount of hydration, allowing base makeup to apply smoothly without feeling heavy. ✦ No Irritation Despite my super sensitive skin, I didn't experience any irritation while using this. There was no redness or blemishes. It seems suitable for those with sensitive skin like mine.
Cons✦ Pad Size The pads are on the smaller side. As someone with sensitive skin, I prefer using toner pads for mask-like treatments rather than wiping, but the small size was a bit disappointing for this purpose. You need to use more product to cover the face for a mask-like application. Also, due to their thickness, they don't adhere as closely to the skin and tend to come off easily. Personally, I found them much more suitable for use with exfoliating toners rather than as a toner mask. ✦ Limited Soothing Effect It doesn't seem to have a significant soothing effect. While it's okay for reducing skin temperature, it wasn't very effective for blemishes or acne.
TipRecommended for use with exfoliating toners rather than as a toner mask!

However, the Forbom toner pads are completely different! They're definitely gentle on the skin and even have a calming effect! There's noticeably less lint, so I feel comfortable using them every day. Being slightly acidic, they're perfect for maintaining skin balance. I love how I can feel the difference in my skin texture when I use them!
ConsUnfortunately, there's no built-in tweezer, so you have to peel off each pad by hand. Also, they're a bit on the pricey side...

Recently, I discovered I have folliculitis, and now I'm finally paying attention to the cosmetics I buy. I'm basically a skincare newbie... haha! 🔴 Pure cotton pads First off, I love that these are pure cotton pads, so they're less irritating to the skin. If you rub too hard, your skin might get a bit red though. The pads are soaked with plenty of toner, so they feel nice and hydrating. 🔴 pH-balanced!!! After learning about my folliculitis, I found out that creating an environment where bacteria can't thrive is crucial. I was already using a pH-balanced cleansing foam, but switching to a pH-balanced toner as well has noticeably reduced my skin's itchiness. 🔴 Exfoliation It gently removes dead skin cells, making my makeup apply so much better. Maybe it's because I haven't been taking proper care of my skin until now... haha! I was amazed at how much difference just one toner pad could make to my makeup application. Especially with matte foundations that used to highlight my flaky skin terribly, I've seen a significant improvement.
ConsIt's a bit inconvenient and not very hygienic that there's no tweezer included, so you have to pick up the pads with your fingers.
TipI keep them in the fridge and use them as a mask before my morning makeup routine and evening skincare regimen. It's super convenient and feels great. They also work well for soothing and cooling down the skin.

The product is generous in quantity, so even using the top pad gives an immediate feeling of hydration. You can use it like an exfoliating toner without any irritation when wiping, and it's very soft. There's no stickiness, making it a universally appealing product that anyone can use without hesitation. Being slightly acidic, it gives a comfortable feeling to the skin.
ConsCompared to the current trend of larger pads, these felt a bit small. Due to their size, the pads seem to roll up when wiping the face.
TipUsing the non-embossed side as a skin pack while drying your hair leaves your skin feeling silky smooth! Storing it in the refrigerator and using it after a shower gives a cool, refreshing sensation, like you're replenishing your skin's moisture!

It's refreshing how well it cleans. Also, being slightly acidic, it quickly balances the skin's pH after cleansing.
ConsI experienced some irritation. Even though I didn't apply much pressure, the areas I wiped with the pad developed a slight redness. The liquid content was less than half full, which made it feel more abrasive. The twist-open design was a bit inconvenient. Compared to the flip-top lids on many recent pads, this felt noticeably less user-friendly. The hydration wasn't impressive either. It didn't give that deeply moisturizing feeling when used as a toner pack, nor did the effects last long. The adherence for toner masking wasn't great either. It reminds me of first-generation toner pads. There are much better options available nowadays.

If they don't suit my skin, it can become irritated and reactive. However, I found this product to be gentle and non-irritating when cleansing my skin, which was a pleasant surprise. Moreover, as someone who prefers and regularly uses low pH products, my trust in this product has significantly increased! A few months ago, I tried another brand's pads. While they were larger in size, which was a plus, the amount of essence was disproportionately small compared to the pad size, which made me hesitant to use them. In contrast, this product has a perfect balance - the pad size and essence quantity are just right, neither too little nor too much. In this hot weather, when my skin feels overheated, applying these pads provides excellent soothing effects. They also refine my skin texture and leave a hydrated finish. I used to struggle with dryness and patchiness on my cheeks when applying makeup, but after using these pads, those issues have noticeably improved. I'm very satisfied!
ConsThe pads are smaller compared to some other brands. Due to their size, I need to use two pads to cover my entire cheek area. I wish they were a bit larger!
TipHere's a tip for the hot summer days: try storing the pads in the refrigerator beforehand. When you apply the chilled pads to areas with excess heat, they provide a cooling sensation and quickly reduce the warmth, effectively calming your skin!
