Each pad is thick and substantial, perfect for soothing the skin on those days when it needs extra TLC. The pads are saturated with essence, making them incredibly hydrating. Scent - The fragrance is reminiscent of a cool pine forest. It's a refreshing, natural aroma that gives a sense of cooling relief to the skin, which I found quite pleasant! Packaging - Given that these are pads, the container is understandably on the larger side. While it's not exactly portable, the size is appropriate for the generous quantity inside. I actually quite like the substantial feel of it. Pads - The texture isn't ultra-soft, but rather has a slight texture that's brimming with moisture. The large size is great, and when applied like a sheet mask, it feels incredibly soothing on the skin. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the experience. A nice touch is the included tweezers, making it easy to pick up individual pads. The lid also seals tightly, ensuring the pads won't dry out.
ConsOne minor inconvenience is that after opening the main lid, there's an additional inner lid to access the pads. This inner lid fits quite snugly, making it a bit challenging to open with just one hand.
TipI often use these pads as a quick mask for skin-soothing purposes. It's particularly effective when my skin feels irritated, providing a much-needed boost of hydration.

I loved how essence-rich this product was. As shown in the first photo, one side of the pad has a tweed gauze texture that's relatively rough, while the other side is pure cotton gauze. Since my skin is super sensitive, I only used the cotton side! The rough side would make my skin turn red quickly... It provided great hydration and the scent was really nice! The cooling effect was good too, and most importantly, I didn't experience any blemishes after use.
ConsAs seen in the second photo, it's nice that there's a compartment to store the tweezers. However, it seems like some essence leaked during shipping, making the opening part extremely slippery. It took me several minutes just to open the inner lid.
TipAs always, storing these pads in the refrigerator seems to make them 2-3 times more effective.

ConsThese aren't your typical cotton pads They have a silicone-like texture which feels a bit squeaky to me, so I personally didn't like it
TipThe essence has a light texture, which might not provide enough hydration for dry skin but could be great for oily skin types I have sensitive skin that doesn't even tolerate the carrot pads from Skin***, and this one also seems to not agree with me as I got a few blemishes. So I'm taking a break for a few days before trying again. I'll update my review after finishing the whole container!

The essence is incredibly hydrating, making it perfect for preventing cheek redness and delivering moisture when applied before using a hair dryer. It's also great for use before makeup, as it absorbs well without leaving any residue. While my skin isn't particularly sensitive, I occasionally experience blemishes when my oil and moisture balance is disrupted. Applying this pad during those times provides immediate and effective skin soothing. It's an excellent calming pad to keep on your vanity for use after cleansing, after going out, or when using a hair dryer - especially when your skin feels a bit sensitive or prone to redness.
ConsThe gauze-like texture of the pad might not be ideal for those looking to use it as a wipe-off product.
TipThe most satisfying aspect was definitely how it prevents cheek redness and provides hydration when applied to the cheeks before using a hair dryer. It's particularly great before makeup application, absorbing well without leaving any residue. As the weather gets warmer, storing these pads in the refrigerator could be an effective way to cool down skin temperature without causing irritation.

One pad was enough to cleanse both my face and neck, with plenty of essence to spare. The essence has a slightly viscous texture, but it doesn't leave any stickiness or residue after use. I think it absorbs quite quickly too. There's a subtle pine-like scent, which isn't overpowering and I actually found it refreshing and cooling when using the pads. It's hydrating enough to replace your toner or skin. Even after the essence is absorbed, my face doesn't feel tight or dry - the moisturizing effect lasts. I also love how it works well for spot treatments, staying moist until you remove it. I received this product just before my menstrual cycle when my skin on my chin and cheeks was a bit rough with a couple of blemishes popping up. This test really helped. I especially liked how it seemed to refine my skin texture and gently exfoliate with each use. It also creates a great base for makeup. I use the tweed side first to gently cleanse my entire face, then follow up with the soft side for targeted areas. I was initially concerned it might be irritating like exfoliating with cotton pads, but so far I've had no issues - no irritation, redness, or blemishes. While I'm using it at room temperature now, I think it would be amazing stored in the fridge during hot summer months. With its soothing effects and great hydration, it seems suitable for both dry and oily skin types. I love the clean packaging design and the hygienic tweezer for easy pad dispensing. I'm definitely considering purchasing this product.
ConsI don't have any particular complaints about this product. It would be great if they offered more sales!

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.Pros- The amount of essence is generous - The inner cap is well-sealed and comes with tongs, allowing for hygienic use - After cleansing, placing it on the face seems to reduce heat and provide a soothing effect - While opinions on the scent may vary, I personally enjoyed it as it's not a floral fragrance, but rather reminiscent of cypress or forest wood scents. It might be the aroma of pine trees
Cons- As the inner cap is well-sealed, opening it can be a bit cumbersome. It's not a design that lifts easily, but rather requires some force to remove the embedded lid. The initial opening can be quite stiff, so women with long nails or manicures should be careful when removing the inner cap! - The biggest drawback of this product is that the pads don't feel plump, but rather thick and rigid. They feel like stiff gauze, with a grid pattern that has quite a bit of thickness to the embossing - While it's double-sided, the material itself isn't soft, so even the non-embossed side can cause some irritation - Rubbing it actually creates irritation, leading to a burning sensation - Those with resilient skin might be able to gently use the embossed side, but since these Cica pads are often used by people like me with acne-prone or sensitive skin concerns, I don't recommend using them for wiping

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.Pros- I loved how it felt so hydrating, as if my skin was filled with moisture, and it absorbed really well. - The finish was nice and firm, giving the impression of creating a protective layer that kept the essence from evaporating. - Even with a gentle press, the amount of essence was incredible. It seems like it would be plenty even for dry or combination dehydrated skin types. - The different textures on each side of the gauze were great for addressing multiple concerns: pores and dead skin cells on one side, and hydration and soothing on the other. - I appreciated that the material didn't easily produce lint. - The built-in tongs make it very hygienic to use. - Despite having sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes.
Cons- I'm not sure if it's to prevent the essence from evaporating, but I struggled a bit to open the packaging.
Tip- If you apply it to your cheeks and let it absorb thoroughly, it has a calming effect and helps the essence penetrate better, resulting in a smoother makeup application.

Application: The dual-sided design was great for both wiping and as a mask. It was amazing how quickly it calmed her skin's redness when applied after morning and evening cleansing! 2. Texture: The sheet was generously soaked in essence, making it comfortable to use. The green color alone gave a soothing impression - you know what I mean? 3. Scent: The subtle pine fragrance was perfect for those who dislike artificial scents. Being part of The Hwahae Testers was a wonderful opportunity to discover this excellent product. Its effectiveness makes me want to repurchase. Highly recommended!
ConsThe secondary lid where you place the tongs is extremely difficult to open. If this could be improved, it would be so much more convenient to use regularly!
TipFor an enhanced soothing effect, try storing it in the refrigerator and applying it cold. The mask is so saturated with essence that you don't need to use multiple sheets - one is plenty!

They're also thin, adhering well to the face without falling off. Essence: It's incredibly rich and abundant. Even the top pads were well-soaked in essence. Packaging: I appreciated that upon first opening, there's a seal, and underneath, a plastic lid with tweezers. The extra plastic lid ensures you can use the product hygienically without worrying about dust contamination. Soothing: The pads are very hydrating due to being saturated with essence. There's a cooling effect, and I noticed some soothing benefits, though not dramatically so. Irritation: While there was a slight tingling sensation due to the citric acid, it wasn't a major issue.
ConsPads: They feel slightly smaller compared to other products. While this makes them easy to use with hands, it's a bit disappointing when using as a soothing mask as they cover less area. Also, while the dual sides serve different purposes, the back side is unexpectedly rough. It might be effective for dead skin cell removal, but could potentially irritate sensitive skin. Scent: There's a faint pine-like fragrance, which seems unnecessary. Those who prefer fragrance-free products might not appreciate this.
TipThis could be a great bang for your buck if purchased during a sale.

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.ProsPackaging: Clean and sturdy. Pads: Firm texture. The mesh design holds essence exceptionally well, making it incredibly satisfying when used as a cooling pack. Essence: Non-sticky with a water-like consistency. It's so fluid it would drip if you just lay it on like a sheet mask. There's plenty of essence at the bottom of the container, so you could probably use it with cotton pads even after finishing the original pads. The formula absorbs quickly due to its thin consistency, but there's so much essence that I took my time to ensure thorough absorption. Cooling effect: Remarkably refreshing on the skin even when stored at room temperature, no refrigeration needed. I've been using it as a toning pack after smoothing my skin texture with a watery toner, works great as an alternative to sheet masks.
ConsPads: They're on the small side. Even though they hold essence well, one pad isn't enough to cover the entire face. I ended up using two pads in the evening. The embossed side was quite harsh on my skin. Even the smooth cotton side felt a bit irritating. It's too rough to use as an exfoliating toner, so I mostly used it as a cooling pack. Soothing effect: While the cooling sensation is nice, I'm not convinced about its ability to soothe blemishes compared to other pads. I have naturally sensitive skin that tends to act up during seasonal changes, but even considering that, its effectiveness in calming skin troubles is questionable. Hydration: As someone with oily skin, I rarely find products drying. However, perhaps due to the changing seasons and dry weather alerts, I noticed some deep dryness even after using a hydrating toner first. I had to follow up with an essence to properly moisturize my skin.
