The pads have a gauze side and an embossed side. I used the gauze side for a mask and the embossed side as an exfoliating toner. The gauze side isn't rough, so using it as an exfoliating toner wasn't uncomfortable. The built-in tweezers and their storage compartment are a bit tricky to open, though. These pads are incredibly hydrating, as if they're packed with moisture. They absorb well and cause minimal irritation, making them perfect for daily use. However, they didn't noticeably shrink my pores. There's a slight richness after using the pads, but it's not bothersome. I'd recommend these pads to those with dry or combination dehydrated skin!
ConsRecommendedUnfortunately, they didn't exfoliate much even when used as an exfoliating toner. The rich feeling after use might not be ideal for those with oily skin.

ConsThe product description claimed pore tightening effects after just one use, but I saw no noticeable change in my pores even after a week of use. Moreover, it didn't even provide the basic hydrating effects I expected.

It's amazing for oily skin, and surprisingly, my extremely dry-skinned sister says it works well for her too. For some reason, it seems to be excellent at removing dead skin cells.
ConsRecommendedThe price is a bit disappointing, haha. If it were a bit cheaper, I wouldn't have switched. I've found a similar product that's less expensive, so I probably won't go back to using this one.

It's great as both a mask and an exfoliating toner. Even though the pads are a bit thick, they adhere really well to the face.
ConsRecommendedFor someone like me who's used to large-volume toners, this runs out too quickly... It doesn't seem very cost-effective.

Recently, a friend I hadn't seen in a while asked if I'd had a dermatological treatment!
ConsRecommendedThere's honestly nothing to complain about. No blemishes at all. I end up using three sheets daily, which can be slightly pricey, but that's the only minor concern.

I'm really interested in pore tightening, so I used a sample my friend gave me just once!
ConsAs you can see from the photo, my skin texture completely flipped out. With a burning sensation, my skin felt so tingly that when I looked in the mirror, it had turned out like this. I used all my other skincare products the same as usual! It took a week of constant care with modeling masks and aloe packs to get my skin back to normal. My skin is usually quite smooth with only small bumps in the T-zone. I think the areas where I focused on wiping gently along the skin grain after using the pad reacted particularly badly (left cheek, between eyes and nose, forehead, T-zone). If you have sensitive skin, be sure to check the ingredients! If you can get a sample, definitely try that first!

It doesn't dry too quickly, has a nice scent, and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I think it would work great after using a sebum softener.
ConsThe effects seem temporary, and as for value for money... I don't think it's particularly cost-effective.
TipRecommendedYou'll probably need to use it consistently to see results.

They're so sturdy and plump that you can't even split them in two (like carrot pads). The scent is a sweet chestnut aroma. Overall, it's decent! While it doesn't irritate the skin, I'm not sure if the effects are particularly outstanding. It's more of a balanced oil-and-moisture product rather than being purely hydrating.
ConsRecommendedI'd recommend this as an exfoliating toner, but it's not great for leaving on while drying your hair. The pads are too thick to adhere well to the skin.

When I apply it to my skin, it feels incredibly soft and smooth. I'm not sure if it's just my imagination, but I feel like my pores have even gotten smaller! I highly recommend it!
ConsRecommendedThere wasn't anything that didn't work for me or any aspects I found disappointing.

The pads have two different sides - one with a raised embossed texture and the other smooth. This dual-fabric design allows for two uses: the embossed side is great as an exfoliating toner, effectively removing fine dead skin cells and stubborn sebum, while the smooth side works well as a pore-tightening pack. They even have a pointed tip that adheres well to the sides of the nose, allowing for targeted care of areas like the nose wings and between the brows. The fabric is the thickest I've used compared to other products, with a subtle balm fragrance. The pads are designed to fit snugly around the nose area, and contain just the right amount of essence. The pointed part adheres well to the skin even if not perfectly aligned with the nose wings. While the pore-tightening effect isn't dramatically noticeable, it does help somewhat. After gently patting it in, it seems to reduce oil production when applying makeup. The Buddle Balm Pore-Tightening Pads are perfect for T-zones or areas with many pores. The thick, soft fabric makes them versatile for use as both an exfoliating toner and a pack. I find them particularly effective for tackling blackheads - I wipe the area, leave it on for a bit, then remove.
ConsHowever, the scent is quite strong and might not be to everyone's liking. While the pads are moisturizing and pleasant to use, the pore-tightening effect seems to vary from person to person.
TipRecommendedWhen I'm in a hurry, I quickly swipe it over my whole face (except the eye area) two or three times, like applying toner. At night, I use them as a 20-minute pack, placing one on each cheek and one on the forehead. They adhere well and stay put until most of the essence is absorbed. As I don't have extremely sensitive skin, I didn't experience any blemishes or redness from using them.
