ConsThere seemed to be a slight stickiness, but it wasn't stuffy and since it was just a little, it was fine.
TipThere seems to be some irritation on the skin. When concerned about inflammation or dermatitis, it would be good to apply something for skin immunity as a preventative measure.

The price is also really good..I'll definitely use this forever ㅠㅠ..
ConsAfter using the toner pad, there is a slightly sticky and taut feeling. If you dislike this type of formulation, you may dislike it.

Additionally, the tweezers can be stored together with the lid, making it hygienic. The pad size is just right, not too big or too small. I recommend this for those with dry skin or a lot of redness. Even over time, it does not feel tight and maintains moisture, making it perfect for dry skin!! When using it for the first time, there may be some stinging from the troubles, but after a few days of use, the troubles will calm down and the stinging will subside. Even if it stings a lot at first, there is no need to be too alarmed.
ConsAfter applying the toner, it tends to feel sticky after some time. If you dislike the sticky feeling, I would recommend using a different product.
TipI recommend refrigerator storage.

The cooling sensation is also strong, so when you put it on after exercising or taking a hot shower, the heat dissipates completely! 💧Quantity There is a huge amount of product... It seems like it will last a very long time. I've tried all sorts of pads, but this is the first time I've seen a pad container that is completely full. Even though it looks thick, it's not as thick as I expected! 💧Exfoliation Like other pads, one side is soft and the other is slightly rough. But when I used the slightly rough side to smooth out my skin texture, it felt very soft and nice! The slightly rough side isn't too harsh, so it's not burdensome to use. 💧Clip Grip This is a truly amazing feature - the clip grip is so sturdy that it never feels loose or slips off. Out of all the products I've tried, this is the top of the top...
ConsThere was a slight stickiness that I felt. However, since I am the type who has a lot of heat on my face, I may have felt that way more, and once it was absorbed, it was fine again quickly.

As my U-zone area is dry, it tends to get dehydrated easily, but using this pad as a pack barely leaves any dryness, which I really liked. Fragrance-free and non-burdensome: Despite being fragrance-free, there is no chemical smell at all, allowing for comfortable use. Sturdy and generous size: The pad is wide and has good thickness, adhering well to the face and not tearing easily. After use, the skin visibly brightens and looks clearer. Hygienic usage: The included tweezers make it easy to take out the pads in a clean manner.
ConsThere is a slight stickiness after use, so it takes a little time to absorb. I think it took me about 20 minutes for it to be fully absorbed. With the remaining amount, if you wipe your body like removing makeup, the stickiness remains quite a bit, so I don't recommend wiping your body with it in the summer.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a subjective review written by the Hwahae Trial Reviewers. My skin type is combination, with an oily T-zone, dry cheeks, and sensitive areas. ✔️ One-line summary: This pad is like a mini facial pack! ✔️ Repurchase intention: Very high! I'd even like to try other products from the same brand. 👍 I usually only use toner pads for exfoliation, but this pad is exceptionally moisturizing. Normally, when I apply a toner pad to my cheeks, it dries out quickly and falls off. But the Metabiome Pad retains the toner for a long time, like a facial pack. As a result, it doesn't dry out quickly, which makes it perfect to apply while blow-drying my hair. 💕 Although it's called a toner pad, it feels more like an ampoule pad. After using it, my skin has a slightly sticky, post-facial-pack feel, and my skin looks amazing the next day! This toner pad alone is enough, so I don't need to use any other creams, which saves me time in my skincare routine. 🤭 I'm not just saying this because I'm a Hwahae Trial Reviewer - I'm genuinely very satisfied, and I definitely plan to purchase it again!
ConsCompared to other toner pads, it is much more moisturizing, but I'm not sure if it's very effective at exfoliating. Usually after using a toner pad, the oily parts are left with a yellowish residue, but with this one, there was no such yellowish residue when I wiped it with an embossed cloth. However, the skin texture itself did improve after using the toner pad, so it's hard to say it's completely ineffective. There is a slight stickiness and oiliness after use, so it may feel heavy for those with oily skin.
TipI have dry cheeks, so I just apply it to my cheeks and let the rest of my hair dry! After that, I wipe my forehead and nose with the toner left on the pad. This way, those with combination skin can complete their skincare routine without needing to apply additional creams or the like. 👍

I've tried various things before, but this is the first time I've used one where the lid can be clipped on, and it's just so convenient. I want to take this lid and clip it onto other toner pads... * Toner amount Even after wiping my entire face thoroughly and reaching my neck, the toner is still overflowing! The toner is soaked in so abundantly, and I'm very satisfied. * Usage experience It has a typical toner feel - not particularly drying, nor overly moisturizing. And the pad material isn't rough, so even when I wipe firmly, it's not irritating, which is great. * Fragrance It has a standard, unremarkable toner scent, and since I'm only smelling it to write this review, as someone who isn't particularly sensitive, I barely notice the fragrance, which is fine.
Cons* There was a slight stickiness that I found disappointing. Given the nature of the toner, it may have a slightly sticky feel, which could be fine depending on individual preference! I enjoy wearing light makeup for work, so I found it suitable to use only at night.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.Pros🔮Package It has a tweezer inside and a cover to store the tweezer. There was often no place to store the tweezers or they would easily fall off, but this one firmly fixes the tweezers in a plug-in style, which is so convenient! And there's an extra cover inside, which I'm still using without throwing it away. It's a bit cumbersome to take it out, but it's more hygienic and even if the tweezers fall, they won't touch the pad.😊 🔮Usage Experience A single toner pad absorbs an incredibly large amount of toner. And I've used more than 5 toner pads, but this one seems to have absorbed the most. One pad is enough to cover the entire face, and there's still some left over to apply to the arms before discarding. The pads are also incredibly soft, so there's almost no irritation to the skin, making it usable for both cleansing and toning. The toner doesn't feel like a watery toner, but more like a nourishing pack. In fact, the essence is an opaque white, and after absorption, it feels a bit stickier than other pads. So I usually use it in the evening rather than before makeup. 🔮Effects The first thing I noticed was that my skin texture became more refined. Immediately after use, my skin feels plump and smooth. When I woke up the next day, I felt my skin was much more soothed. I was worried that the sticky finish might lead to excess oil, but it's quite the opposite - my oil-moisture balance feels just right. As a whitening and wrinkle-improving product, I didn't have high expectations for skin soothing, texture, or oil-moisture balance, but I was pleasantly surprised by how great it is.
ConsThe finish feels a bit sticky, which is the only aspect I'm a bit disappointed with.

I do a light skin layering, applying it several times, and using pads. I cleanse with the embossed side, then flip it over and use it like a pack! The texture is very slippery! Sometimes those types of textures can just sit on top, but this one has enough moisture that it doesn't do that, which I liked! It forms a protective layer on top and quickly absorbs into the skin, locking in the moisture well! The pads are really saturated with the ampoule, so even when I use it as a pack right after cleansing, it lasts a long time, which is great!!! The packaging also has a clip that keeps it from falling off, so it stays securely in place - very convenient to use!
ConsI would recommend it to those with combination or dry skin types!! I have combination skin, and on days when I don't properly hydrate my skin, I tend to feel a bit oily in the morning ㅠㅠ I also wouldn't recommend it to those who dislike a sticky finish..! I was satisfied with it, as its formula leaves a refreshing finish, but my skin tends to dry out quickly, so it still leaves a slightly tacky feel, which helps create a protective skin barrier.
