The large and square pads were good It feels like it adheres closely to the face without any gaps There were also many ampoules
ConsThe formulation does not absorb quickly and is rather slow. Even though I tried to actively promote absorption, it seemed to just sit on the surface of my face, and persistent small pimples continued to appear, so I had to discontinue use. So it is a disappointing product.

The pad is extremely moist, with the skin-like essence thoroughly soaked in. It has a built-in clip stand. The size is generous enough to cover one side of the face with a single pad. As long as you apply it well, you can dry your hair while doing a face pack. When it dries out, you can simply put it back on to recharge the moisture. There are no breakouts. If you buy refill pads, you can get one more use out of it.
ConsAbsorption is slow... It doesn't work at all... A feeling of slipperiness? There is only moisture, but it is not absorbed.. Even though the moisture is abundant, since it is not absorbed, it does not work on surface dryness or internal dryness. Even regular sheet masks are not recommended for those who feel a sense of slipperiness. It's a mixed bag, but as someone with an oily skin type, I can't feel any benefits on my skin. When I just put it on when I'm lazy, it's not bad because it doesn't dry out. You have to apply it lightly, as it is very generous and can drip.
TipEven if they are the same type of person, it is not bad to have a different opinion. It is comfortable to compromise with family.

There was also a sufficient amount of serum in the pad, which was great. The toner amount was plentiful, so I could use it generously, and the pad's texture and size were perfect for applying the toner pack.
ConsThe aloe pack or soothing pack had a scent, but it wasn't really my personal preference. The toner pack was great to use, but when I looked at the pad texture and the amount of toner, it didn't seem suitable for cleansing and toning. There was a lot of leftover product, and when I applied makeup afterwards, the excess toner made it feel a bit slick.
TipIt would be good to apply the toner pack in the evening and leave it on, or to apply it beforehand when using the hair dryer in the morning. The toner pack is a great item to use during the dry winter season!!

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe amount of ampoule - The case is semi-transparent, and when shaken, the contents can be seen sloshing around inside, indicating a sufficient amount. So when the pad is placed on the cheeks, it adheres well and feels moist, which was great when doing a pack. The pad - These days, I do a lot of packs, so if the pad is small, I have to use multiple pieces, which is a burden. But this "Illumine Square Pad" is square-shaped and relatively large, so it covers the whole cheek well! Highly recommended for those who love doing packs. - The pad is quite thick, so it holds a lot of ampoule, keeping the skin moist for a long time (it's great to apply and let dry while drying the hair).
ConsAs mentioned in other reviews, since it is a water-based formula, when I cleansed my face, it did not absorb well and left a residue on my skin, which was disappointing. The case also seems a bit flimsy to me. When I opened the lid, it did not close securely, and the initial opening was not smooth, which was disappointing.
TipIt is more recommended to use packs rather than cleansing. When drying your hair, attach them to your cheeks and it won't dry out and will stay well attached.

This one, being thinner, is actually an advantage as it sticks well, allows drying while wearing, and is easy to apply in the morning. Personally, I prefer the square shape over the round one as it adheres better and doesn't lift off. ✔️Packaging: While it's common for pads to come with a clip, what I really liked about this one is that there's a separate space inside the lid to store the clip. This prevents the clip from coming into contact with the part you hold, which could lead to contamination. And you don't have to worry about the clip getting lost when it's stored separately. ✔️Gentleness: There's absolutely no irritation or discomfort even when applied around the eyes. It can be used comfortably for wiping the eye area.
Cons✔️Moisture Retention: Since the formula absorbed into the pad is light and watery, the surface moisture tends to evaporate quickly after removal. It might be better suited for use in the summer rather than transitional seasons.
TipIt's great to use as a light pack in the morning after a gentle cleanse and while drying your hair. It stays firmly in place even when moving around 👍

When I took it out and used it, the coolness was much greater than other pads! The coolness seemed to last for less than 2 minutes, which I thought was a good point while using it! I don't really have any other good points... Since I encountered it in the summer, I couldn't feel many good points, but based on the points I felt while using it, this pad seems to be good to use in the winter! It seems like a useful pad if you time it right!😊👍🏻
ConsThe disappointing point was that although it was a pad that was often seen in the Hwahae app, the pad cover was hard to peel off, and it was inconvenient because the pad was easily torn when trying to grab it with tweezers, so I didn't really use the tweezers... Also, the formula was watery, and the absorption was poor, and I felt like it just sat on the surface of the skin... And when I applied it like a pack and removed it, it felt greasy, so using it as a cleansing pad seems to be the best. Finally, the pad feels like thin cotton! It seems to tear easily, so be careful when using it!!
TipAfter lightly using it as a cleansing pad and absorbing it into the skin, applying your own suitable ampoule will give you a super nice, glowing, moisturized skin from the inside out. 😲✨

The pad is sufficiently soaked and thick.
ConsIt only provides moisture on the surface, but it has a slightly detached feeling? It may be because the texture is too watery, but... I have dry skin, so I think it will be a bit irritating.
TipIf you don't want to bother with a full face mask, you can just place one on each cheek, let it soothe, and then remove and pat it after 5 minutes.

Trial Reviewers' reviews undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe pad was great - it was large and the right thickness. Among the toner pads I've tried, this one absorbed the most essence. The scent is herbal, but not overpowering or unpleasant. When you leave toner pads on for a long time, the essence can evaporate and even draw moisture from your skin, but this product has so much essence soaked into the pad that I didn't experience that issue, even when leaving it on for a while.
ConsWhen I take the pad off my skin, it doesn't absorb the essence right away and feels a bit sticky. It might be good for dry skin types, but as an oily-skinned person, I found it a bit too heavy to use before my makeup.
TipSince I don't need a lot of essence, I split one pad in half and apply it to my cheeks, forehead, and chin. That way, I still get enough essence, and the pad adheres better. It's also great that I can cover my whole face with just two halves of the pad.

Pad: 💛💛💛💛💛 - Moderate thickness and soft pad without any fuzziness. The size was just right, suitable for both cleansing and pack use. Hydration: 💛💛 - The hydration level is sufficient to use as the first step before makeup, but may not be enough to address severe dryness. Fragrance: 💛💛💛💛💛 - The product has no fragrance, which is great as I strongly dislike any scent in face products. Essence Amount: 💛💛💛💛💛 - Very generous, almost overflowing. Skin Irritation: 💛💛💛💛💛 - No stinging or irritation at all, even on my acne-prone skin with active breakouts and painful open wounds. Price: 💛💛💛 - On the affordable side, though there are certainly cheaper options available. Repurchase Intention - 10~20% The hydration is insufficient to address severe dryness, and the oily/combination skin may find the texture and finish slightly unpleasant. The slow absorption and lack of hydration make it unsuitable for both summer and winter/fall use. It would likely suit those with less dry, less oily, and sensitive/acne-prone skin types. Considering the price, it's a decent and acceptable toner pad. The pad itself is truly excellent, even better than some essences.
ConsFinish: 💔 - Especially for the toner, as it is the first step, the absorption is very fast and it prefers a clean finish with almost no oiliness, but this one has a slightly sticky and slightly oily finish. Dryness: 💔 - As a person with severe inner dryness, it is disappointing. Even after using a toner pack, the inner dryness is not resolved. Absorption: 💔 - Absorption is slow. It does not absorb well and floats on the skin surface, so it seems difficult for oily skin to use. Excessive essence amount: 💔 - This can be seen as both an advantage and a disadvantage. Thinking positively, it's better than being deficient, but when doing a toner pack, it flows all the way down to the chest. When wiping off, I lightly squeeze it afterwards, but it's annoying to do that until the toner pack. The pad is a thin type that absorbs the essence well, so it feels even more excessive.

Rather than being wide in diameter, the pad is square-shaped, so the coverable area seems quite broad. In reality, the diameter also feels quite large! Additionally, the structure allows for hygienic and comfortable storage of the tweezers, which is an advantage! The amount of essence is truly abundant! Even before use, the sloshing essence is visible enough to see.
ConsWhile the amount of essence is really abundant, I have a somewhat ambiguous feeling about whether it is actually being absorbed or just sitting on the surface...
