Some products lose their texture and shed cotton after multiple uses, but this one maintains its firm texture even after repeated use. It's gentle on the skin. Although it's marketed as a cooling product, it feels very mild, as if the skin is absorbing only the beneficial ingredients, leaving it moisturized.
ConsDespite being advertised as cooling, it doesn't feel as cool as expected. It's so ordinary that no one would question if you called it a regular pad. It seems too precious to use as an exfoliating toner. The fact that you can't split it in half and have to use two pads every time is a bit of a drawback. It feels wasteful to use two, but otherwise, I'm satisfied.
TipAfter gently wiping, you can place it on your forehead or cheeks. It's good enough to use as a mask substitute. Before applying makeup, you can feel a truly fresh hydration, not a sticky moistness.

Hygienic applicator The pad-grabbing tongs are fixed inside the container, making it convenient to use. As soon as you open the lid, you can use the tongs to pick up a pad and apply it to your face. No need to use your fingers to separate the tightly packed pads, making it hygienic, and the pads separate easily with the tongs. 2. Generously sized pads The pads are large and well-soaked with product, allowing use not just on the face but also on the neck, which is great. The size also makes them perfect for use as a hydrating mask. 3. Moisturizing and gentle feel Gentle and hydrating. I mainly use it as a toner, and even when using the textured side, I don't feel any irritation. It would be great to keep in the fridge during summer and use as a cooling pack to reduce heat.
ConsAs a product that focuses on being an exfoliating toner, there's not much to criticize in that aspect. However, I didn't really notice an immediate cooling effect. If you keep it in the refrigerator and use it cold, you might experience an instant cooling sensation.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm used to stronger exfoliating pads, but this felt very gentle with almost no irritation. - Usage: I've been using the textured side as an exfoliating toner and the smooth side as a mask. What I love is that unlike some pads that keep falling off, these Goodal pads stick perfectly to your face! - Soothing effect: It helped reduce some small bumps, and especially improved my skin redness. After cleansing, my skin usually looks red, but using these pads noticeably reduced that heat and flushing. - Pad size: They're big enough to cover the back of your hand! Since I often get flushed, I frequently use them as a mask, and the size makes it so satisfying. - Tweezers: This is my favorite part! Usually, the tweezers are attached to the lid and keep falling off, but the placement of the tweezers on these pads is just perfect. These pads are brimming with essence and super hydrating! I have sensitive skin that breaks out easily, but I didn't get any new blemishes. While it didn't magically clear all my existing blemishes instantly, it definitely reduced the heat in my skin and I could feel it gradually calming my skin down.
Cons- When I first tried to separate the pads, they didn't come apart easily. I'm not sure if it's just me being clumsy, but I ended up having to cut them apart with scissors. - They're called cooling pads, so I expected more of a cooling effect, but it wasn't as refreshing as I had hoped.

Placing them on my face after a shower or before applying makeup in the morning left my skin feeling wonderfully moisturized. It seemed to address my chronic deep dryness issue! Cooling Effect: These pads definitely felt cooler compared to others I've tried. I've used various cooling pads, and I've found that using them in summer helps reduce skin temperature, which prevents blemishes. Ingredients: As someone with super sensitive skin, I always meticulously check ingredients on Hwahae before purchasing. I was relieved to find that these Goodal pads are free from harmful ingredients, allowing me to use them with peace of mind. Since toner pads are left on the face longer than other skincare products to allow for moisture absorption, both the product ingredients and the pad material are crucial. Happily, these pads didn't cause any blemishes! Pad Moisture: Often, toner pads dry out as the toner evaporates, leaving just the dry pads. However, these come in a sturdy container that retains moisture well! The pads are also generously soaked in toner. Packaging: Personally, I worry about the hygiene of picking up toner pads with bare hands. This product comes with a built-in tweezer, which is much more hygienic! I love that it's integrated and can be securely attached to the lid, so it won't get lost around the house.
ConsCooling Effect: While I had high expectations for the cooling effect, it wasn't as dramatic as I'd hoped. This might be because the weather isn't very hot yet, and my usual toner pads already feel cool. I suppose it's challenging to achieve a dramatic cooling effect while prioritizing gentle ingredients. On the bright side, this makes them suitable for year-round use.
TipFor an enhanced cooling effect, try storing the pads in the refrigerator. Apply the chilled pad to your face and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the skin to absorb the moisture. Once the cooling sensation starts to fade, gently pat and roll the pad to aid absorption. The results were so impressive, people asked what I'd done to my skin!

They're neither particularly good nor bad. Since I haven't experienced any blemishes, I'll continue using them consistently.
ConsI had high hopes because they marketed the cooling effect as a key selling point, but it turned out to be just average.

When you attach it to the lid, the clip often falls into the container while using it, and it's frustrating to fish it out, risking contamination of the pads. But with this design, there's zero chance of it falling in! It's amazing how such a small detail can be so satisfying. The pads are on the softer side, which is great. I have sensitive skin, so I usually avoid using the embossed side of toner pads. I tried the back side of these pads first, but noticed they were softer than others. Curious, I tried the embossed side and was pleasantly surprised - no redness at all! While I wouldn't recommend these for those seeking intense physical exfoliation, they're perfect for sensitive skin types like mine. The pads absorb the toner well, providing ample hydration. Though they're not particularly thick and have a grid pattern on one side, a single pad holds enough product to cover the entire face. I found them sufficient even for my dry skin - using just the pad and cream without any additional serum, my skin didn't feel parched.
ConsThe cooling effect was underwhelming. I didn't realize the product was supposed to have one. Even after a shower, I couldn't really feel it. Perhaps it's because I don't typically experience much facial heat? The price point is a bit high for daily use. While I love the moisturizer from the same line and enjoy these toner pads, they're a bit pricey for everyday use. They might be worth it during a sale, though.

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.ProsTexture & Feel: This toner pad is infused with a lightweight, non-sticky hydrating ampoule. The pads are generously soaked in the ampoule and absorb well, keeping even the top pad moist without needing to flip the stack. Each pad has two sides - one embossed for gentle exfoliation, and the other smooth for application. The soft fabric of the pads ensures minimal irritation during use. I mainly used these right after cleansing as a toner and for evening out my skin texture. When finishing with just a cream or emulsion without additional oils or serums, I noticed a slight deep dryness. Given the current dry weather, an extra step might be necessary. However, in summer, these pads alone should suffice! Scent: There's a subtle plant-like aroma with a hint of mint. The fragrance is so mild it's almost unscented, making it very comfortable to use. Packaging: The design shows real thoughtfulness! Often with toner pads, the tweezers are attached to the lid and fall off easily, or they're on top of the inner lid, which is a hassle. This product cleverly places the tweezers between the lid and the main container, minimizing inconvenience and maintaining hygiene!! It's truly excellent! The container itself seems sturdy and unlikely to leak.
ConsCooling Effect: I didn't notice much of a cooling effect when using these! My current cooling pads provide an immediate and long-lasting cooling sensation, but with these, there's just the natural coolness of the pad itself. If you're expecting a strong cooling effect, please keep this in mind!

For dual-sided pads, these are on the thinner side, which helps them adhere well to the skin. They stay put even when I'm blow-drying my hair! The exfoliating side has a raised texture, and it feels incredibly soft when using it with an exfoliating toner - it's quite impressive. The essence absorbed into the pads leaves no residue and is quickly absorbed, so you can move on to the next step in your routine without waiting. I'd recommend these to those with oily skin who prefer a clean, fresh finish without any leftover stickiness.
ConsWhile they're marketed for cooling and soothing, these pads aren't cool throughout use - just a brief cooling sensation when first applied. As someone with significant redness, I found the cooling effect a bit underwhelming and wished it was more intense.
TipTo enhance the cooling effect, I've started keeping the pads in the refrigerator before use.

It's gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. As someone with combination dehydrated skin prone to occasional blemishes and reactions to new products, I used this without any irritation or breakouts! The inclusion of Houttuynia Cordata, known for its soothing properties, seemed to work well for me (I generally respond well to Houttuynia Cordata products). If you have super sensitive skin, this could provide both hydration and calming effects. I'd recommend using it as a toner mask rather than an exfoliating toner for best results.
ConsThe package claimed 'instant cooling', so I expected a refreshing sensation upon application, but it felt no different from regular pads. When I refrigerated it and used it again in the evening, there was a cooling effect, but it was disappointing compared to other products that claim a cooling effect. If the cooling was truly -3.7 degrees as stated, it might be suitable for summer use. However, if refrigeration is required for the cooling effect, it doesn't really differentiate itself from other pad products, which is a letdown.
TipI don't have any special tips, but keeping it in the refrigerator before use could help lower skin temperature effectively.

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.ProsAdvantages: * Convenient tweezer storage: There's a groove inside the pad lid to store tweezers hygienically and conveniently. With previous products, tweezers were often attached to the lid, leading to frequent loss or dropping. The Goodal Ice Houttuynia Cordata Toner Pads eliminate this inconvenience. * Effective dead skin cell removal: The embossed surface of the pads works hard to remove dead skin cells. As someone who always includes an exfoliating toner in my routine, I really appreciate this feature.
Cons* Mild cooling effect: The immediate cooling effect promised in the promotional text is somewhat underwhelming. When used at room temperature, it's difficult to notice a significant difference in the cooling sensation compared to regular toner pads. I wonder if it's just me who feels this way.
