The pad material is soft and adheres well to the skin. It even comes with built-in tweezers, which seems great for hygienic application.
ConsWhile I had no complaints about the user experience, if I had to find a downside, it would be the rather high price tag.

My skin type is combination with small bumps, dark spots, and dryness. The pads are very thin and adhere well to the skin. Their heart shape is perfect for applying to both cheeks. The fragrance is completely non-irritating, which is great. It's incredibly hydrating, and the toner comes in a generous amount. It contains six ingredients that help soothe the skin. It really helps with redness and seems suitable even for super sensitive skin.
ConsThere's not much to complain about, but it can be a bit difficult to separate individual pads. The price might be slightly on the higher side.
TipPro tip: After showering, stick these on your cheeks while drying your hair. Your face will stay hydrated and your makeup will apply more smoothly afterwards.

Pad Size - Compared to other brands' toner pads, these are larger, making one pad sufficient for cleansing. Two pads are even enough for a mask with some leftover! 2. Pad Thickness - Thick pads can be harsh on the skin when wiping. However, these pads are incredibly thin! They hold just the right amount of product and adhere perfectly to the skin, making them especially great for masking. 3. Ampoule - The pads are so generously soaked that I plan to use extra cotton pads to make use of the excess. True to its 'Hot Spring Water' name, the ampoule is incredibly hydrating with long-lasting moisture. It even calmed my blemishes within a few days, living up to its anti-inflammatory claims. 4. Quantity - I was pleasantly surprised to find 105 pads inside! That's about 1.5 to 2 times the amount of most products on the market. I often feel guilty about the plastic waste from these pad cases, but with this larger quantity, I can reduce my environmental impact by half. 5. Fragrance - I prefer fragrance-free products for my first skincare step, as all scents in cosmetics come from artificial fragrances. These toner pads are exactly that - fragrance-free!
ConsWhile I find this product far more satisfying than many famous items I've used, the price is quite high. The quality justifies the cost, but I'll need to stock up during sales or special events to make it more affordable.
Tip- Before makeup, I use it as a 5-minute mask, then wipe off and apply moisturizer before makeup. - On particularly dry days, I do a 10-minute mask, then pat in some leftover ampoule from the container, followed by face oil. I've found that trapping moisture right after cleansing and applying a few products generously works better for my skin than layering multiple products. This is how I incorporate it into my routine.

Thanks to this shape, they adhere better to facial contours. Thin and gentle pads: The pads are thin and soft, causing less irritation! Skin texture improvement: It refines skin texture after cleansing! However, due to the pad's softness, it's not recommended for dead skin cell removal. Cooling effect: Placing the toner pad on the skin before makeup helps reduce skin heat! This is great for cooling down the face easily, as heat can cause makeup to separate. Lightweight: The formula is light! It's not sticky at all, so you can apply it to your neck without worry. Those with oily skin might find it comfortably lightweight. Tongs: The included tongs allow for hygienic use, and they can be attached to the lid for convenience.
ConsScent: The fragrance was surprising at first... It literally smells like hot spring water, which was unfamiliar but I quickly got used to it. Hydration: Those with dry skin might find it a bit lacking in moisture... While it does feel hydrating, it doesn't provide long-lasting, intense moisture. I recommend using it with other products to lock in hydration.
TipFor those who find it drying, try applying the pad again after using your serum! A routine like toner pad > serum > toner pad > cream might work well. Adding the pad again in the middle of your skincare routine can help boost hydration!

The pad material is incredibly thin and flimsy, not stretchy like some cotton pads. The good thing is that it adheres thinly and snugly to the skin. The pads are also quite large, wrapping nicely around the cheeks. To be completely honest, I'm not sure if they're that great. They're supposed to clean pores, but if you use them without knowing, you might not notice much of an effect. It's said to contain both low and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, but as someone with dry skin, after removing the pad, I don't feel like 'Wow, it's so moisturizing! I don't even need to apply essence.' Instead, I think 'Hmm, it's not enough. I need to apply some essence and slather on plenty of moisturizer!' For winter use, I'd recommend this more for oily or combination dehydrated skin rather than dry skin. It just feels like a basic hydrating pad.
ConsThe scent of the pads is immediately noticeable when you open them. They say it's the natural scent of hot spring water, but I'm not sure if that's what hot spring water is supposed to smell like! To me, it's more like the smell of hair dye or perm solution you'd find in a salon. It's not particularly pleasant. Also, while it's nice that tweezers are included, I wish there was a middle seal. I tried taking these on a short weekend trip to test them out, but all the essence leaked out of the pad container, making it difficult to carry around.
TipTo use these more effectively, I like to first apply a thick layer of hyaluronic acid essence or soothing gel to my bare face, then place the pad on top and seal it all in with a cream mist. This helps prevent the pad from drying out too quickly and allows for a much more hydrating experience.

The pad shape is especially great for using as an under-eye mask! Scent: No particular fragrance, so it's likely to suit everyone's preferences. Hydration: When used as a mask, it provides deep hydration that seems to effectively combat deep dryness! Overall: On days I use this product as a mask, my makeup seems to apply better, so I'll definitely keep using it! Some products can leave a sticky feeling after masking, but this one finishes fresh while still providing ample hydration. The adhesion is so good that it stays put even while blow-drying my hair.
ConsThe pads are thin, making them sometimes difficult to separate even when using tweezers. While the volume is generous, the price feels a bit... on the higher side.
TipTry storing the product in the fridge and using it after a shower - it quickly calms redness!

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.ProsThe natural scent of the hot spring water was barely noticeable. I'd say it's practically fragrance-free. What I loved most was the shape of the pads. Unlike the round pads I've used before, which sometimes lifted or folded depending on where I placed them on my face, these pads have a unique shape that allows them to adhere comfortably. The thinness of the pads means they're well-saturated with toner. It felt great when I applied them to my face, as the toner seemed to absorb instantly into my skin. Although they're called toner pads, I didn't use them as a toner replacement. Instead, I applied a light toner first, waited for it to absorb, then used these as a mask. Before the toner in the pad fully dries, I remove it and gently swipe it across my face, which leaves my skin feeling refined. When used as a mask, I find this product really satisfies in terms of hydration.
ConsThe thinness of the pads made them a bit tricky to separate one by one. But this is a common issue with thin pads, so I'll let it slide. While it's great that the pads are generously soaked in toner, sometimes it can drip down my face when applied.

But these pads are thin and adhere well, so I could move around comfortably without worry! ✓ Unique shape The slightly indented heart-like shape was surprisingly useful. It adhered better to the eye area and stayed on more securely around the mouth and jawline compared to round pads. The coverage area was also good, with no empty spaces. ✓ Cooling effect + absorption Being a toner-type formula, there was no stickiness and it absorbed with a cooling sensation. Though I used it in winter, I felt this product would be more suitable for summer! The thin adherence provides a cooling effect, and the toner formula feels fresher than essence-type pads. The sulfur ingredient seemed to help refine pores after use. While not dramatically noticeable, there was a refreshing feeling that only I could sense. ✓ Tamed sulfur scent When I had severe blemishes, I researched many sulfur products but was put off by the characteristic rotten egg smell. However, this product has greatly minimized that scent, so I didn't feel any discomfort while wearing it! There was a (very, very) faint smell when first opening, but I couldn't detect it at all while using or afterwards.
ConsIt lacks the nourishing feel of essence-type formulas. That's why I think I'll reach for it more often in summer. Although I felt the scent was well-controlled for my standards... I'd recommend those with more sensitive noses to test it first!

The solution was well-absorbed, making it perfect for gentle application without any irritation! # Impressions - The pads adhered comfortably to my skin, without any discomfort or feeling that the toner wasn't absorbing. They fit snugly and were easy to use. - I could definitely feel the hydration. The pads were soft enough for even sensitive skin to use, making them great for first-time users. # Scent The fragrance is so mild it's practically unscented, which is nice. # Packaging The container has a built-in tweezer, which can be attached like a fixture, making it very convenient.
ConsI wish the container was a bit sturdier, and it seems slightly large compared to the amount of product. But overall, it's good.
TipInstead of immediately spreading the pad gently on your skin, try this: after washing your face, place the pads on both cheeks for about a minute, then wipe. You'll feel even more hydrated this way!

While some pads can be irritating when wiping your face, especially when it's sensitive, these don't cause any irritation at all! They're thin, so they adhere well to the skin, and they provide amazing hydration! The product is fragrance-free and doesn't leave any sticky residue on your face.
ConsAs mentioned in the product description, I was surprised by the strong scent right after opening (to me, it smelled like perm solution). However, after leaving it open for a while, the scent completely disappeared!
TipI stick these on my cheeks while blow-drying my hair in the morning, and it makes my makeup go on so smoothly! Great for soothing the skin and providing hydration.. it's amazing! I definitely plan to repurchase when I run out.
