The pads are generously sized and plush, holding an abundance of essence. This allows for a longer application time compared to other products without drying out. The large surface area means you can layer them for a full-face mask experience. When you squeeze the pad, it releases even more essence, helping maintain continuous moisture. In summer, storing them in the fridge for a cooling effect would be perfect for soothing heated skin.
ConsWhile I appreciated the large size of the pads, it felt wasteful when applying to smaller areas like around the nose.

Cons향이 강한 편이고 그리 좋진 않았어요 패드 붙이고 있는 동안 계속 났는데 향이 좋다는 후기도 있어서 호불호가 갈리는 듯 해요 딱 집어낼 순 없는데 메디필 피지연화제 향이랑 똑같아요 성분인지 향료인지 똑같은게 들어갔나봐요 저는 여드름이 아니라 무슨 두드러기같이 간지러운 게 올라와서 사용 중단하고 일주일 뒤에 또 사용해줬는데 다시 간지러움이 심해져서 3분도 못 붙이고 떼줬어요 그리고 피부 예민하신분들은 좀 따가울 것 같아요 저는 인중이 너무 화하고 3분 넘어가니까 따가워서 뗏어요 그리고 패드 재질이 닦토하기엔 그렇게 부드러운 편이 아니라서 좀 아쉬웠어요

This made it convenient and hygienic to use without having to search for tweezers. * There's plenty of essence, so even after placing 4 pads on my face for 10 minutes, they didn't dry out. It's an excellent alternative to sheet masks. * This would be great for those with dry skin. As someone with dry skin myself, I found that when I applied it in the morning before makeup, my skin didn't feel parched and instead became smooth.
Cons* There weren't any downsides! I genuinely can't think of anything negative to write about.
TipI use these pads at the beginning of my morning skincare routine to help reduce facial puffiness. They also create a great base for makeup application, so I highly recommend incorporating this into your routine.

The first thing I want to praise is the hydration. When I place the pads on my cheeks, forehead, or chin right after cleansing or when my skin feels dry, there's an immediate sense of moisture being delivered to my skin. It's as if I've applied a generous amount of hydrating essence - my skin feels comfortable, and I've even noticed a calming effect on redness. 2. I was surprised by how generously each pad is soaked in essence. Even after wiping my entire face, the pad doesn't dry out, and the moisturizing effect lasts for a long time. I also appreciate the built-in tweezers, which allow for hygienic use of the pads. It's convenient and clean not having to use my hands to take out the pads every time. 3. As someone with super sensitive skin, I'm usually very careful about checking ingredients when choosing cosmetics. However, the Illumiel Wave Hydration Square Pads felt gentle on my skin. There's no strong artificial fragrance or colorants, so I could use them without worry. I didn't experience any irritation or blemishes after use. 4. A major advantage is that these pads aren't just for wiping the skin like regular toner pads - they can also be used as a skin pack. When placed on particularly dry areas, they provide an intensive hydrating effect. They're also great for smoothing skin texture before makeup application. I found them convenient to pack instead of toner when traveling. 5. Thanks to the wave-shaped embossing on the pad surface, I could gently wipe along my skin texture. While I'm not sure about its exfoliating effectiveness, I did feel like it removed impurities without irritating my skin. I'd recommend these to anyone looking for a gentle, daily solution to hydrate and soothe their skin!
ConsThe pads don't adhere perfectly to the face. When using them as a skin pack, they tend to slip off a bit if you move around, so it's more comfortable to use them while lying down. Compared to other toner pad products, the quantity feels a bit less. Using them every morning and evening, they seemed to run out faster than expected, which was a bit disappointing.

First off, I really liked the pads. They're large squares that absorb well and hold onto the essence, reminiscent of those famous S*L*C*T* cotton pads. They release the product onto your skin nicely, staying moist for a while without drying out quickly when applied to the face. Another great feature is how easily you can split one pad into two. This is a huge plus! Some pads get all fuzzy when you try to separate them, or the thickness becomes uneven. Some you can't split at all, which feels wasteful. But these? They separate like a dream. The ample amount of serum-like essence in each pad is fantastic. I also appreciate the case design with a clip to keep the pads securely in place. The formula itself is hydrating without feeling heavy, making it suitable for use as a toner pack year-round.
ConsPersonally, I found it a bit disappointing that it didn't seem to improve blemishes or help with dead skin cells at all. It really just feels good for basic hydration or cooling down your skin if you keep it in the fridge. I wish it had more potent ingredients that could clearly help with blemishes or exfoliation. As just a basic hydrating toner pack, it doesn't feel particularly cost-effective.
TipTwo pads are perfect for covering your entire face! Since you can easily split them in two, you can efficiently place them on your cheeks, forehead, and nose for a powerful hydration boost.

As I've gotten older and my skin has become more dehydrated, these pads have been a perfect match for my dry skin type that's always thirsty for moisture. I've tried almost every pad out there, and I can confidently say that these and the ones from Ch*nel have the highest hydration levels. Even after a few minutes, they don't dry out! I love that my base makeup doesn't pill after using these. Absolutely fantastic!
ConsThe texture is a bit sticky! They've really soaked these pads with moisture, so I might just switch to these exclusively.
TipTry storing them in the fridge and use them as a mask for an extra refreshing treat!

One pad is more than enough for a single use! The pads retain moisture so well that you can leave them on for extended periods without drying out, making them perfect for use as a mask (definitely mask-worthy pads, I must say~) I have combination dehydrated skin that doesn't usually break out, and these pads were gentle and suited my skin perfectly! However, if you have super sensitive skin and need to be careful about ingredients, I recommend thoroughly checking the full ingredient list before use~ What I loved most was that even with my deep dryness, I didn't feel any tightness at all when using these pads!!💧 It feels like the hydration penetrates deep into the skin, so if you're a fan of that plump, moisturized look, these might be right up your alley. While I naturally have fair skin, I received comments like "Your skin looks clearer and brighter, doesn't it?" It really seemed to have a clarifying effect~?! Perhaps it's due to the Kakadu plum in the ingredients, but it seems to have brightening benefits as well~~ If you're looking to tackle both hydration and brightening in one go, these pads might be worth a try~!
ConsI usually don't use skincare products with strong fragrances, and these pads do have a noticeable scent! If you're not a fan of fragranced products, you might want to give it some thought before purchasing~ (Though I must say, the positives outweighed this minor drawback..!)
TipEach pad is so saturated with essence that you can cut one in half and use it as two separate pads. Also, the pads are soft and easy to tear, so you can customize them to fit perfectly on smaller areas like your nose or philtrum 👍🏻 When using as a mask, it's super easy to tailor them to fit exactly where you want!!!

With 5 types of ceramides, these pads replenish skin's moisture and prevent water loss, making them truly hydration-packed! Even after a full workday, my skin still felt hydrated when I touched it... Amazing, right? It also contains exosomes, a type of skin booster, which seems to help the skin retain moisture even better! 👍 Gentle on the skin I usually feel uneasy if I don't do a thorough cleanse, but I found that embossed pads can be quite irritating. However, these pads are super soft! The smooth texture allows for a gentle yet effective cleanse. 👍 Great adherence The pads are thick and soaked in essence, so I thought they might drip. Surprisingly, they cling well to the skin. Perfect for busy mornings when getting ready for work. 👍 Easy to check remaining product The semi-transparent container makes it easy to see how many pads are left. It's also convenient to check the remaining toner level - a surprisingly satisfying feature!
ConsWhile it was fine for me, my boyfriend said it stung a bit when it got in his eyes. Those with super sensitive skin should use caution. The lid doesn't close tightly, which is a bit disappointing. It seems to leak easily, but... even if it spills, the product always stays moist... haha!
TipCutting the pads in half still provides plenty of moisture! Perfect for using while blow-drying your hair on busy mornings.

Cons다른 패드보다 덜 자극적이였지만, 피부가 예민하신 분들은 닦토는 추천드리지 않아요. 저도 예밈한 편이라 다른것에 비해는 덜 자극적이였지만 그래도 따가운게 있더라구요. 토너를 혹시 들고다니신다면 주의해주세요. 저는 여행을 많이 다니는 편이라 항상 들고다녔는데 조금씩 새는 경향이 있더라구요. 입구쪽 뚜껑이 조금 더 튼튼했으면 좋겠어요.
Tip늘어나긴하는데 조금 잘 찢어지는 제형이라 조심히 늘려줘야해요 그래도 인중이랑 턱에 반반 찢어서 해주면 됐어서 전 좋았어요.

And guess what? They actually made it happen! It's amazing! First off, these pads are absolutely soaked in essence. They're hands down the best I've used so far. You can wipe your entire face with one pad using the hygienic tweezers provided, then place one on each cheek - it's like a sheet mask! It's incredibly hydrating! Even after some time, it doesn't dry out. When you wipe your face again with the remaining essence, it still feels moisturized. I even use the leftover on my neck, behind my ears, and elbows before tossing it. Unlike sheet masks where you have to align the eye and mouth holes and deal with dripping essence, these are so easy to use. Just place them on your face like a mask. When my face gets flushed after drinking, I just pop these on and the cooling effect helps calm my skin. My husband loves using them too! The pads are soft, and the ingredients are great (except for fragrance), so they're not harsh on the skin. I highly recommend giving these a try!
ConsBuying two containers is a bit cheaper, but a single container costs 16,000 won. If the price was a little more wallet-friendly, I'd probably use them more often.
TipPlace one pad on each cheek, aligning them with the under-eye aegyo-sal area. For those who are a bit more diligent, you can cut one pad in half and place them on your forehead and nose too. It's an easy, fuss-free mask routine!
