The smoothness also makes it convenient to apply makeup right away.
ConsHowever, when opening the product, the pads tend to stick together. Also, when trying to use the small amount left inside, it all runs down, which is somewhat inconvenient.

Once absorbed, the skin feels plump and bouncy. | Pad Texture It's tweed-like. One side is textured, suitable for wiping, while the other side is smooth, great for use as a mask. When wiping, it didn't sting at all, rather it felt cool. | Pros (1) Reduction in comedogenic acne: I originally had small bumps on my forehead, but using this as an exfoliating toner significantly reduced them. However, it wasn't effective on the bumps on my cheeks. (2) Essence quantity: It's abundant... After using all the pads, you could probably add your own cotton pads to use the remaining essence. (3) Absorption: The absorption speed is similar to regular serums, but after it's absorbed, the skin feels so plump and firm. There's no excess essence left on the surface. (4) Cooling effect: It's so refreshing! When used as a mask, it feels incredibly cool. Highly recommended for summer use.
Cons| Cons (1) This could be both good and bad. It's beneficial in the long term, but short-term it might be inconvenient... The pads hold a lot of essence, so when used as a mask, the essence drips down your neck. But if you squeeze the pad too hard, it becomes too dry. I recommend squeezing with moderate pressure... However, doing this makes it dry faster. (2) While the cooling effect makes it great for summer use, there's a slight oiliness. It feels like a 1:5 ratio of oil to moisture? As I have oily skin, I prefer products heavy on moisture, so this felt like a drawback. The most noticeable point was feeling greasy after using it as a mask. (3) I had high hopes for whitehead removal due to the textured side, but that wasn't the case... It seems this is more for dissolving sebum.
Tip- It seems best used as an exfoliating toner. Using it as a mask feels like not fully utilizing its potential. It's a product that really makes the most of its tweed-like texture. - I didn't notice much soothing effect. If I had had pustules on my cheeks, I might have felt it more, but I wondered why it was named 'SOS'.

As you can see in the photo, it's packed with a water-like essence. When I've used other pads, the alcohol evaporates quickly, leaving my skin feeling not very moisturized. But this feels as hydrating as using a sheet mask. I have oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin that usually turns red after cleansing and applying products. However, when I use this instead of toner, there's no irritation. Even when I used the textured side, my face didn't turn red, and it absorbed gently. I'm also really satisfied with the glow it gives my skin due to its hydrating properties. It creates a great base for makeup too. The scent is a woody tea fragrance that feels calming, which I find psychologically pleasing.
ConsI think a flip-top cap would have been more convenient than the screw-on lid! Since it's quite moist, it can get messy on your hands, and it's a bit inconvenient to screw the lid back on each time. Also, because it's so hydrating, it can sometimes drip a bit! But considering how moisturizing it is, I can deal with that.
TipIt's so hydrating that if you leave it on like a mask before bed, your skin feels soothed by morning! Each pad is large enough to cover your cheeks fully, making it great for use as a mask. If you let it absorb and sleep with it on, your makeup applies beautifully the next day.

The cica ingredients make it gentle on the skin, with no irritation upon contact. It absorbs quickly and seems to reduce skin heat too. For an extra boost before makeup, I like to place them on my cheeks and forehead for 2-3 minutes, then gently pat to absorb. This really enhances the effectiveness of my makeup application! One side of the pad has a textured embossing, while the other is smooth. Using the textured side helps with dead skin cell removal, allowing subsequent products like essences and creams to absorb better without pilling. My skin feels moisturized and glowing even until the next day! Using the CHA:LAB Pine Cica Soothing Pads has really shown me how crucial this first step in skincare can be. The subtle pine or pine needle scent is fresh and pleasant without being overwhelming. While the texture starts off watery, it transforms into a viscous essence-like consistency as it absorbs into the skin.
ConsI didn't have any issues with the product itself. However, I was a bit disappointed that during shipping, the product was laid on its side, causing a lot of essence to leak into the inner lid.
TipI appreciate that the Pine Cica Soothing Pads come with a built-in tweezer, allowing for more hygienic use of the pads. While it may not be a game-changing tip, I plan to use the tweezer right down to the very last pad!
