However, probably due to the anti-aging ingredients, it has a rich texture and feels a bit heavy after application. It's not exactly refreshing, but more of a rich, plumping feel? Because of this, if you have oily or combination skin like me, it might cause blemishes. I think it would be best suited for those with very dry skin!
ConsThis isn't a light toner, so I'd recommend it to those with very dry skin who enjoy intense hydration and a rich texture. Unfortunately, it caused blemishes for me - I think it was due to the layering of oils, so I'll have to stop using it.
TipWhen choosing skincare products, it's important to consider your skin type and specific needs. While this product may not be ideal for oily or combination skin, it could be a great option for those with dry or mature skin looking for intense hydration and anti-aging benefits. Always patch test new products and introduce them gradually into your skincare routine to minimize the risk of irritation or breakouts.

It's gentle and comfortable to use, making it suitable for those with super sensitive skin. The pads are thick and generously soaked in serum, allowing for a rich application without dripping. I found it particularly effective for hydration, making it my go-to during the winter months. After cleansing, simply placing one of these pads on your face eliminates any feeling of deep dryness. It not only helps remove dead skin cells but also leaves your complexion with a subtle Inner Glow after a while. With consistent use, I noticed my makeup looked less cakey. Even when applied lightly before makeup, it prevented any dry patches. I think this will become a staple in my skincare routine during seasonal changes and in dry weather.
ConsIf I had to point out a drawback, those with oily skin might find the finish a bit heavy. The serum has a rich texture, which could feel too intense for those with excess oil production, especially during hot summer days. For such skin types, it might be better to use this product primarily in the evening rather than in the morning.
TipIt's also great to use as an evening mask. On days when my skin doesn't look its best or I'm worried about flaky patches, I apply it to my cheeks and leave it on for about 5-10 minutes. This gives an extra boost of hydration, making my skin more receptive to makeup the next day.

I was expecting a convenient exfoliating toner pad for dead skin cell care, but I was pleasantly surprised by how gentle and moisturizing it actually is. The pads are just the right thickness - not too thin or thick. The embossed side is effective for exfoliation, while the smooth side is great for evening out skin texture. I typically use it once in the morning after cleansing, and I've noticed that it leaves my skin feeling more refined, even helping my foundation apply more smoothly. What impressed me most is how well it suited my sensitive skin without causing any irritation or blemishes. After use, my skin doesn't feel tight, and there's a subtle hydrated feeling that leaves me satisfied with its moisturizing effect. While my T-zone, being combination dehydrated, occasionally gets a bit shiny, this is more due to my skin type rather than a fault of the toner pads. ❣️ Pros - Dual-sided pad for exfoliation and skin texture refinement in one step - Gentle ingredients suitable for sensitive skin - Calming and hydrating effect after cleansing - Improves makeup adherence when used in the morning ❣️ Overall - Highly recommended for those who want an easy daily routine for exfoliation and hydration. Especially great for sensitive skin types looking for a gentle option. It's also perfect for daily use if you have combination or combination dehydrated skin like mine.
Cons❣️ Cons - Those with combination dehydrated skin might experience slight shininess in the T-zone - The hydrating effect doesn't last extremely long, so layering with a cream is necessary

I was thrilled that they arrived just as I ran out of my previous ones. The delivery was excellent - no damage and perfectly packaged. I've always found toner pad containers lacking, but this one has a sturdy lid and effective tweezers. The pads themselves are neither too thin nor too thick, staying put like a hydrating mask and not crumpling when used for exfoliation. They're so satisfying to use that I reach for them daily without hesitation. As someone with extremely dry skin that gets itchy and flaky without product, I tested these after going bare-faced for three days. The improvement in hydration was noticeable. Using the textured side first, then the smooth side left my skin instantly moisturized. To truly test their effectiveness, I used only these pads without any other products. Surprisingly, my skin didn't feel parched even by the end of the workday. I'm very satisfied with the results.
ConsIf I had to nitpick, I noticed a slight oiliness that developed over time, possibly due to the hydrating effects. I really tried hard to find other drawbacks, but this product feels like it scores 90 out of 100 - it's difficult to find any significant faults.
TipI wouldn't recommend this for those with very oily skin types. However, for people like me whose skin cracks and feels hot and tight in spring, fall, and winter, this product could be a game-changer.

When it comes to pads, I prioritize softness and essence quantity, and the Purifia Metabiome Toner Pads excel in both aspects. The embossed side is perfect for initial cleansing, and when flipped, it's great for evening out skin texture. There's ample essence, leaving your skin wonderfully hydrated! Using just one pad feels as moisturizing as applying both toner and essence. In summer, a single pad can suffice for your skincare routine. For those seeking a pad that offers both hydration and skin texture improvement, this product is an excellent choice.
ConsThose with oily skin might find it too hydrating and rich.

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.ProsThis is my subjective review as a member of The Hwahae Testers. I have combination skin with an oily T-zone and dry cheeks. ✔️Quick summary: This pad feels like a mini face mask! ✔️Repurchase intention: Absolutely! I'm even tempted to try other products from this brand. I usually only use toner pads for exfoliation, but the hydration in this one is exceptional. Typically, when I stick pads on my cheeks, they dry out quickly and fall off. However, the Metabiome pad retains the toner like a mask for a long time! This makes it perfect to use while blow-drying my hair, as it doesn't dry out quickly. It's called a toner pad, but it feels more like an ampoule pad. After use, my skin feels slightly sticky, similar to after using a sheet mask. When I wake up the next day, my skin looks amazing! Using just this toner pad is enough, so I don't need to apply other creams. It saves time on my skincare routine, which is fantastic. I'm not just saying this because I'm a tester - I'm genuinely very satisfied and definitely plan to purchase more!
ConsCompared to other toner pads, while it's much more hydrating, I'm not sure if it's particularly effective for exfoliation. Usually, after using toner pads, you can see yellowish sebum on the pad, but with this one, I didn't notice any yellow residue on the embossed side. However, since my skin texture improved after using the pad, it's hard to say it's completely ineffective! There's a slight stickiness and rich feeling after use, so it might feel heavy for those with oily skin.
TipSince my cheeks are dry, I only stick the pad on my cheeks while blow-drying my hair! Afterwards, I use the remaining toner on the pad to gently wipe my forehead and nose. This way, if you have combination skin, you can complete your skincare routine without needing to apply additional creams.

This product was great for quickly calming the skin when it felt dry. For those with dry skin, there's a slight rich feeling left after the toner absorbs, which could be good for surface hydration. I also loved how it provided deep hydration after using it as a mask. However, if you have combination dehydrated skin or oily skin, it might be okay for addressing deep dryness, but consider the lingering richness before purchasing!
ConsFor me, the formula left a slightly rich feeling. I'm not a fan of products that leave a subtle sticky sensation, and this one felt a bit tacky, probably due to the residual oils. Also, the scent isn't particularly pleasant, but it's not overwhelming, so it's tolerable. When applied to the cheeks, it doesn't adhere exceptionally well. I think if the pads were a bit thinner, they might have adhered better to the skin.
TipPersonally, I think toner pads work best as a mask. After cleansing, I stuck one on each cheek. Since my nose and chin tend to get dry and flaky, I tore one pad in half and applied it to those areas - the size was just right. Don't leave the mask on for too long, as it can actually dehydrate your skin - 10-15 minutes is perfect! Afterwards, I gently wiped my face with the opposite side of the pad to refine skin texture. Lastly, using these while blow-drying your hair can prevent your skin from drying out from the heat!

As someone with combination dehydrated and super sensitive skin, I'm glad this product didn't cause any blemishes. 2. The generous 60-count pack with decently sized pads stayed moist even after using them for exfoliating toner post-cleansing. 3. Despite being a toner, it provided essence-level hydration, leaving my skin feeling moisturized without any dryness. 4. The toner pads were gentle enough not to irritate my sensitive face. 5. The included tweezers made for hygienic application. 6. Not sure if it contains oils, but after applying just this toner and cream on my combination dehydrated skin, my complexion had an Inner Glow like I'd used an oil, reminiscent of a peeled egg.
ConsAs the weather warmed up recently, I noticed this toner pad felt a bit rich on my combination dehydrated skin. It might be challenging to use in summer, but would likely be perfect for dry winter skin!
TipFor those who, like me, tend to get a bit shiny after applying skincare: I recommend using this daily in winter, and as an evening skincare step during seasonal changes or summer! I noticed better results when I applied it before bed rather than in the morning - I woke up with a beautiful glow and improved skin texture. It's also great for those who like to do toner masks while doing makeup or blow-drying hair, as it provides intense hydration!

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.ProsI used this as the first step after cleansing, and it has an incredibly hydrating water-ampoule texture. The pads have just the right thickness - not too thick or thin - and are soft enough to use without irritating the skin. There's a rich feel to it, so even with my oily skin, I didn't experience any dryness when using it alone in the morning. When I used it in the evening, I noticed my complexion looked brighter when I woke up, so I could really feel the brightening effects.
ConsSince these are toner pads with a rich texture, I used them in the evening following a toner-ampoule-cream routine. However, in the morning, I noticed blemishes around my T-zone and mouth area. I have acne-prone oily skin, and I tend to get pimples when I use products that are too rich for me. If you have similar skin to mine, you might want to reduce the number of steps in your routine or be extra careful when using this product.
TipAfter showering, I place these on my cheeks while I dry my hair, which not only soothes my skin but also provides ample hydration. Instead of tossing the used pads, I repurpose them on my elbows and knees. The brightening and anti-aging effects seem to help even out my skin tone as well.

This makes them incredibly versatile. You might even be able to add your own cotton pads once you've used all the original ones for extra mileage! Great value: It's affordable enough for daily use, morning and night, without breaking the bank. Ingredients: After consistent use for over a week, I found that just wiping with these pads provided enough hydration, making it perfect for winter skincare. Hygienic and convenient: It comes with tongs and a spot to attach them on the lid, ensuring you can use the pads hygienically.
ConsDue to my seborrheic dermatitis, I had to be careful with all products, as my skin would flare up whether it was dry or oily. While it excels in providing moisture and hydration, the slight oiliness didn't help improve my dermatitis. Apart from my skin condition, one downside is the tong attachment on the inside of the lid. It's so inconvenient to use that I doubt most people will bother with it.
TipFor those with dry or very dry skin, I wholeheartedly recommend this! If it doesn't suit your face, it works wonders as a body care product.
