The Hwahae modeling pack is Chanel.. haha It's too moisturizing and non-irritating for the price.
Cons
The cooling sensation is relatively weak compared to other products. And the price is truly outrageous!!
Tip
It's only possible to purchase it relatively cheaply when buying it in bulk.

The modeling pack I wrote about seems to be different, but it's better than a dermatology clinic. This is what a modeling pack is like :)
Cons
Repulsive odor. The smell becomes even more pungent when entering the trash can... This is truly the most difficult part.

Hwahae/Sensitive/Flushed Skin Fragrance • Spirulina fragrance (seaweed, sea scent) Texture • Slightly more jelly-like texture compared to regular modeling packs (Remains soft and moist like a gel even after hardening) Usage • The easiest to apply and remove among the modeling packs I've tried. Even beginners can easily measure the right amount with a spoon. Very moist and gel-like, so it applies smoothly and softly. Mild cooling sensation, no irritation. Recommended Skin Type • Suitable for all skin types, but strongly recommended for dry skin! (Good adhesion but low absorption, not recommended for oily skin) As a product more specialized for hydration, it did not satisfy me personally as much, since I have "Hwahae" skin.
Cons
Hwahae is really, really good for moisturizing and preventing dryness.. (It's truly hydrating!!) I've been alternating between using Desaple and Rinjeon, but for some reason, this product alone causes little bumps? to appear on my cheeks. I used it about 6 times before stopping. It seems this pack doesn't agree with me. Others have reported extremely high satisfaction, aside from the price. I have no plans to repurchase. The volume is 900ml, but it doesn't feel like 900ml..? It seems rather small. I'm not sure what ingredient is causing this, but there may be others like me who don't find it suitable. Given the higher price, I recommend researching it thoroughly before purchasing.

I've only used the budget modeling pack before, but this is completely moisturizing compared to the budget one.
Cons
I often use modeling packs to reduce heat, but compared to other companies' products, this one doesn't have a cooling effect, so it doesn't seem to be very effective in reducing heat. As for the value for the price, I'm not sure, but it's more moisturizing than other companies' products, so I'm not sure if I would give it a full 5 points.

I've tried various modeling packs, and this is the most expensive yet the best one. I have sensitive dry skin with redness, and when I use this, the cooling sensation and moisture are exceptional! After using this, I can't use sheet mask packs anymore... And it's easier to apply compared to other modeling packs. The scent is like a gentle waft of mugwort rice cake when applied to the face.
Cons
The price... would be quite high, wouldn't it? It's a price that you can't just impulsively buy unless there's a discount. The original price is almost 100,000 won for 900ml.
Tip
You can do it without irritation by cleansing, applying toner, using functional products, and layering modeling. I can't use pure vitamin and retinol as they are too irritating, so I use vitamin derivative ampoules or niacinamide ampoules and layer them. After removing them, I apply a rich cream, so I don't need to go to an esthetician.

🩵 Refreshing soothing effect 🩵 Moisture filling 🩵 Cooling 🩵 The bouncy, supple feeling of the modeling pack gently presses on the skin of the face. It gives a pore-tightening sensation. While using the pack, I can feel my skin inside the modeling pack becoming moist. There is no heat buildup. I added more powder because I failed to control the water (ㅠㅠ). Since I applied a double portion all at once, the thickness and heaviness built up. Even though I left it on for over 20 minutes, the modeling pack felt cold inside. The tea tree modeling pack from another brand has a minty coolness, but the Itaca spirulina one has an ice-cold chill, like the feeling of icy cold refrigerator water 🩵. So when I apply the modeling pack, it's like putting frozen ice on my face - extremely cold, refreshing, and just amazing. As someone with a lot of heat sensitivity in my skin, I focus on finding products that can reduce heat, and I had no idea the Itaca modeling pack would be this cooling. I love it so much 💚🩵❤️. And it drenches my skin with moisture. After removing the pack, my complexion looks brighter and clearer. The moisture level is significantly higher than other modeling packs. Even after it's fully dried, the pack remains bouncy and supple. There's absolutely no powdery residue. It peels off in one piece 👍 I've tried a lot of modeling packs, and the quality is different from those in the 10,000-20,000 won range. Instead of a 50,000 won one, I'd just use the 10,000-20,000 won ones and stick with the great Itaca one.
Cons
The spirulina has a grassy smell, haha. It's the same color as seaweed, kelp, and laver. It has a scent similar to mugwort rice cake. But it's not artificial. It's a grassy smell. And the price is honestly outrageous for a single container. The volume of the contents is small, but when divided by 18, it's around 3,600 to 5,000 won per use. Instead of a 40,000 won management pack, you can invest 4-5,000 won at home, haha. Investing this amount per week seems reasonable. It's like going to a spa. The powder amount may vary depending on the facial area, but since it's a high-end (haha) pack, when you look at it closely, the price doesn't seem too expensive compared to the performance. The unit price is higher than other packs, but after using it, you can see that the money was well spent. I'd say it's worth the cost, haha.
Tip
The powder comes with an enclosed Hans scoop. The water should be about 2/3 of the scoop. It's not 1:1. Only a small amount of water should be added. The ratio is 1 part powder to 0.7-0.8 parts water. I bought it when Jenna the YouTuber had a discount, but now there are no more events. The regular price is around 90,000 won, but during the event it could be purchased for around 65,000 won.

The modeling pack peels off cleanly without any drying effect, leaving a supple and bouncy feel. It has a slightly thick texture, which makes it easy to control and apply compared to other modeling products.
Cons
The cooling sensation is rather subtle compared to other products. If you're looking for a stronger cooling effect, you might want to consider a different product. It also has a slight spirulina-like odor, almost like the smell of blood sausage. And given the price, you might want to explore other options as well.
Tip
If you apply the modeling pack right after using a sheet mask for about 5 minutes, the essence from the sheet mask will get absorbed into the skin, leaving it incredibly soft and smooth. Highly recommended!

I initially tried a mid-range modeling pack from Coupang, but found it too irritating for my dry, sensitive skin. So I started searching for packs better suited for my skin type. That's how I discovered this non-drying pack. Even 15 minutes after application, it doesn't dry out and keeps my skin feeling moisturized and soothed. I also have quite severe redness, and this pack seems to be effective in calming that as well.
Cons
The smell... it's awful... It's a strange, unfamiliar odor that I assume must be the scent of the spirulina in the product. Haha.
Tip
When I first tried it, I used two and a half cups, thinking the amount would be similar to regular modeling packs. But you only need one cup for this product!

The jelly-like texture and moisturizing properties are better than other modeling packs. The soothing effects are also good. However, the consumer price is not as affordable as the group purchase price, which is a downside. It felt similar to the Bolawon Spinach Powder.
Cons
There is excessive powder dispersal. There are no particular issues, but it's not an extremely high expectation either.
Tip
While it doesn't feel exactly the same as Itaka, making a modeling pack with aloe gel makes it incredibly jelly-like and moisturizing. For a budget-friendly DIY Itaka, use a ratio of 4:3:1 for Putty Spirulina:Aloe Gel:Water (omit the water if the aloe gel is too thin).

This modeling pack is truly a model in my life I don't even know how many tubes I've used I've purchased at least 6 tubes This is a product I keep repurchasing over and over It works really well, peels off cleanly without residue, and has a great cooling sensation
Cons
There's really nothing bad to say. The only thing is that it's a bit pricey, but that's about it
Tip
After applying an aloe pack, spreading the remaining aloe well over your face and then doing the modeling pack, when you peel it off, your skin will be incredibly smooth and soothed
