It sticks perfectly to the skin even when blow-drying your hair, feels nice and firm, and the hydration is out of this world! I tried storing it in the fridge and applying it to my skin - it instantly cools you down and feels absolutely fantastic.
ConsIt's a bit disappointing that there's no noticeable improvement in blemishes. Also, I'm not sure if it's really doing anything for my pores.
TipTry storing it in the fridge before use!

It comes with tongs, which is great for hygiene. ✅ Texture and material While the pads are generously soaked in essence, it has a light, water-like consistency. The pad material feels slightly thicker than 1/2 of a cotton pad, and doesn't irritate the skin. ✅ Hydration The lightweight essence is perfect for hydrating before makeup or when you don't feel like doing a full mask routine.
Cons☑️ Scent Even though I'm usually not picky about fragrances, the artificial scent was a bit off-putting. ☑️ Blemishes My skin tends to break out easily when my skin barrier is compromised. Despite my skin being in good condition, I noticed small bumps appearing here and there. I suspect it might be due to pore-clogging ingredients.
TipIf you're like me and your skin doesn't react well to pore-clogging ingredients, you might want to consider this before purchasing.

I've tried various pads, but when I saw the second photo, I was amazed at how hygienically packaged it was. I've never seen anything like this before. The packaging inspires confidence, and it even includes tweezers, which put my mind at ease. When I gently wiped my face, I felt an incredibly soft sensation. The amount of essence on each pad is sufficient, so you don't need to use two. I'm even doing a pad mask right now. These pads can be separated into two layers, so you can use them separately as a mask or keep it as one sheet for a longer treatment. After finishing the pad mask, my face looked brighter with a subtle glow. Just properly hydrating the skin makes it feel healthy. I was thrilled to see it contains exosomes, an expensive ingredient. Looking at the current price, it's an incredible deal at 20,900 won for two bottles plus samples! The 'Illumiel Wave Hydration Square Pad' truly lives up to its name by opening pathways for hydration and deeply moisturizing the skin. I highly recommend it!
ConsSeparating the pad into two layers can be a bit inconvenient, and the separated side tends to get fuzzy, so you should apply the opposite side to your skin. Another minor issue is that it contains some pore-clogging ingredients, which is a bit disappointing. However, I haven't experienced any blemishes so far!
TipSince each pad can be separated into two layers, you can use them separately as a mask, or if you want a longer treatment, you can use a whole pad - both options work great!

I usually avoid toners due to irritation and only use clay masks. After cleansing, I sprayed toner to even out my skin texture, then used this like a mask for 10-15 minutes. It noticeably reduced redness and left the applied areas moisturized and firm, exceeding expectations for hydration. It adheres well and the pads are generously sized. As a first-time pad user, I'm not sure about the price point, but I was satisfied. As others mentioned, the clip holder at the bottom is really convenient. Regarding essence dripping, it does drip a bit when held with the clip, but once applied to the face, it stays put without any issues.
ConsCons: There aren't any particular drawbacks. However, don't expect it to remove pores or small blemishes. It's a pad that focuses solely on hydration.
TipI used 3 pads at a time - two on my cheeks, and one torn in half for my nose and forehead. It was perfect for using as a full face mask.

Generously sized pads - Perfect for adhering to cheeks. 2. Ideal texture for a skin pack - Excellent adhesion. 3. Ample essence content - The pads are saturated to the point of dripping. 4. Decent hydration - While it doesn't dramatically resolve deep dryness, it provides satisfactory moisture.
ConsAs someone with oily skin, I'm particularly sensitive to pore-clogging ingredients. Unfortunately, I noticed it contains stearic acid.

The hydration is amazing - it keeps my skin moisturized all day long. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, and lots of small bumps, this mask worked wonders for my complexion. Now I understand why everyone raves about it!
ConsI used it without any complaints, but I'm slightly concerned about one ingredient that might clog pores.
TipBefore applying makeup or going to bed, I generously apply it all over my face. It stays put perfectly without drying out at all.

Could it be the Kakadu plum exosomes? It feels like you're refueling your skin with hydration. The cool, fresh scent even makes you feel like you're getting a moisture recharge! Longevity: These pads are thicker and larger than others. Surprisingly plump, actually! They're big enough to cover most of your cheeks and forehead. If you leave them on like a mask, they last quite a while. After removing, pat the remaining essence in and it feels like a light, absorbent emulsion. Definitely lasts longer than regular pads! Convenience: There's a built-in stand inside, so the tweezers don't roll around or get left out. Super convenient and hygienic! Thumbs up!
ConsIngredients: Maybe because of some pore-clogging ingredients, I felt a slight tingling sensation when I put them on my cheeks and forehead. Quickly relocated them to my neck! Also, the packaging opens like a can, and ouch... I almost cut my finger trying to open it.
TipSince these are hydrating pads, they're naturally a bit lacking in moisturizing power. So, after letting the essence absorb for a while, I like to add a few drops of face oil on top, pat it in, and seal everything with a protective layer.

You can easily peel them into two layers by hand. Just take out one sheet and peel it, and you can apply it to both cheeks!!!! Also, you can tear it by hand to fit smaller areas like around the nose, forehead sides, etc! ➡️ Built-in tweezers Allows for hygienic storage!
Cons➡️ Lid The lid seems to be stuck overall... Am I unable to remove it...? You're supposed to remove the entire lid to open the inner packaging, but no matter how much force I use, I can't remove the lid, so I'm just opening the middle part of the packaging to use it (See photo for reference) ➡️ Pore tightening Zero effect on pore tightening You know how some pad products make your pores look temporarily tighter after you remove them? This product doesn't do that! It's just for moisturizing and hydrating!! ➡️ Since the pads separate easily, if you try to remove them with tweezers, the part gripped by the tweezers might tear! This happens often when taking them out, but it should be fine if you peel off the packaging label carefully...🥹
TipDon't use a whole sheet on one part of your face Take out one sheet, hold it in your hand, and tear it completely to make two sheets!!! Then you can apply it to two areas of your face

It's a nice change from older pad products. However, the new opening mechanism was quite challenging - I struggled to open it and even tore the handle part in the process. Pads: The square-shaped pads are impressively large, covering an entire side of the face. They have a good thickness, not too thin, making me think they could potentially be split in half for multiple uses (though I haven't tried this yet). Hydration/Shine: When applied, it feels incredibly refreshing on the skin! I think it would be perfect for when your face feels hot. It seemed more hydrating when used as a mask compared to as an exfoliating toner. However, there was a slight shine left behind in both cases. Those sensitive to oiliness might want to be cautious. Pore Care: It doesn't seem to do much for pore management. Quantity: I love that the pads are generously soaked in essence, ensuring they won't dry out.
ConsThe downsides are really just how difficult it is to open, the slight shine it leaves, and its lack of pore care benefits!
TipIf you gently stretch the pad, it expands. It's worth trying as it can then completely cover one side of your face.

I love that they're generously sized too. They felt moisturizing without any irritation. The pads were so saturated with hydration that after 3-4 minutes, I moved them to the other cheek and then even used them on my neck - I didn't want to waste a drop! After use, my skin felt comfortably hydrated and refreshed with a cool moisture sensation. As someone with super sensitive skin, I appreciated that these hydrating pads didn't cause any irritation. Lately, my skin has been so dry that even yawning made my face feel like it might crack, but these pads helped restore moisture to my dehydrated skin throughout the day. And it's a small detail, but with other products I've found it annoying when the small tweezers are attached to the lid, falling onto the pads when you open and close it. This one cleverly attaches to the main container, which is so much more convenient!
ConsThe effects are limited to hydration. It doesn't significantly improve pores or provide notable soothing benefits.
