Unfortunately, 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.

A candid review from a skincare nomad:

I have dry skin and used this product for over a month!

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!

부들밤 모공수축 패드

The 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.

The dual-sided pad with embossed and soft surfaces allows for both toning and gentle exfoliation

The 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.

I've used more than five bottles of this... 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.

For someone like me who's used to large-volume toners, this runs out too quickly... It doesn't seem very cost-effective.

I love that it comes with built-in tweezers. 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.

There'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 consistently using this product, now on my third bottle. Recently, a friend I hadn't seen in a while asked if I'd had a dermatological treatment!

As 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!

The pad size was great, covering both cheeks and the T-zone. I'm really interested in pore tightening, so I used a sample my friend gave me just once!

You'll probably need to use it consistently to see results.

The effects seem temporary, and as for value for money... I don't think it's particularly cost-effective.

I tried this as a sample and was pleasantly surprised. 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.

I'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.

The pads are incredibly thick! 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.

There wasn't anything that didn't work for me or any aspects I found disappointing.

This is absolutely amazing! 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!

When 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.

However, 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.

For those concerned about pores and dead skin cells, I highly recommend the Buddle Balm Pore-Tightening Pads! 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.

The scent might be divisive. It's like a sweet bubblegum smell? I personally don't like it. Also, it feels a bit sticky after application. The product comes with a built-in plate and tweezers, but removing the plate every time you use it can be a hassle. Sometimes it doesn't come out easily, so I end up using it without the plate altogether.

My T-zone is extremely oily, and I've always been self-conscious about blemishes on my forehead. But since using this product, I hardly get any blemishes there anymore! I also feel like my pores have slightly shrunk. I'm now on my 10th bottle. If you have an oily T-zone with blemishes, you absolutely must try this!

You can use the handle end of the pad or fold the pad (it's thick enough to do so) to wipe the T-zone and other areas that tend to get oily.

These days, it's very hot in the summer and I have an oily skin type, so there was a slightly sticky feeling from the essence, so I wiped off as much of the essence as possible after application.

The pads are thick and have enough essence, so using 1-2 pads is sufficient. The embossing on the two sides is different, so you can use the side with embossing to smooth the skin texture, and the side without embossing to shrink the pores, which is great.
The essence contains LHA derived from willow bark, which is a mild peeling ingredient, so it effectively removes skin impurities (you can see the blackheads coming off on the pads). If you leave the pad on the T-zone area for 5 minutes, you can see the pores shrinking (I noticed this effect when I looked in the mirror after using the pads).
