Cons정말 다 다 다 좋았는데 눈에 들어가면 따갑더라구요 보통 눈에 들어가면 따가운것들은 피부에도 독한 느낌이라 저는 스킨 로션 다 순한걸로만 쓰는데 이건 이상하게 눈엔 따가운데 피부엔 순해요 .. 저는 .. 이 단점을 알고도 구입할 것 같아요

It's the most generous I've ever used. Not only is there plenty of essence, but the overall quantity is substantial. With other toner packs, I've had to be frugal, dabbing a bit here and there. But with this one, I could apply it liberally. Plus, for the same price, the number of samples included was absolutely mind-blowing!
ConsIt stings a bit if it gets in your eyes. Also, every time I use this, I seem to develop what I call 'Wang Geon pimples' (referring to large, noticeable blemishes).

This toner pad feels completely focused on hydration, making it great for use both morning and night. Since I dislike applying multiple skincare products, sometimes I just wipe with these toner pads. I love that there's no feeling of moisture evaporating afterwards. It provides a wonderful cooling effect that lowers skin temperature! I appreciated that it wasn't as intense as the CellFusion C pads, which can sometimes feel a bit too strong. The pads are generously soaked in essence. The case is perfect for keeping on your vanity! I like how the initial seal is very tightly closed, and the tweezers make it super convenient to grab a pad and put it back. It's a nice touch, especially on busy mornings when fiddling with toner pad tweezers can be annoying. The Illumiel container is really well-designed.
ConsIt stings if it gets in your eyes, so be careful. There's a lot of essence, so you need to be cautious when exfoliating. The container leaks if you turn it upside down... You'll need to transfer it to an empty bottle for travel.
TipThe double-layered sheet is perfect for use as a toner mask! It works amazingly well when I soak the toner pad with Mamonde Liquid Mask and use it as a face pack. The combination is fantastic!

Great value for money! Pad size & texture - As someone with sensitive combination dehydrated skin, I prefer using pads over cotton pads. I'm prone to blemishes and react quickly to vitamin and brightening products. I always focus on hydration and skin barrier protection in my routine. These square pads are perfect for me! The cotton is thick and holds an incredible amount of moisture. They're the ideal size for covering the cheeks during a mask routine. I love that you can easily tear them in half for more targeted use! Super saturated - On the first day, I used 5 pads for my cheeks, forehead, nose+chin, and temples, thinking they'd be like my usual toner pads. But even after 20 minutes, they weren't drying out - toner was actually dripping off! I didn't want to waste it, so I used the excess on my neck, arms, and legs. Using these ultra-hydrating pads has prevented blemishes, so when I saw them on sale on Hwahae, I bought more with my own money. Gentle ingredients - There's one caution ingredient, but overall, even with my sensitive combination dehydrated skin, I didn't experience any clogged pores. They're much more affordable than my previous pads, packed with toner, and one pad is enough for multiple layers all over my face - truly great value! Hygienic packaging - It comes with tweezers for very hygienic use. Having this little tool makes a big difference for your skin!
ConsThere's a slight stinging if it gets in your eyes. The seals are difficult to remove, both on the outer box and the pad container. The stickers and adhesive urgently need improvement. Other than this, I really can't think of any downsides while using it.
TipYou can easily layer with just one toner pad! First, gently press the pad onto each cheek. Then place it on your forehead while patting your cheeks. Once the cheeks have absorbed, press the pad on your forehead again, then back to your cheeks while patting your forehead. Keep alternating like this. The pad holds so much toner that I find about 5 rounds leaves my skin incredibly hydrated. Remember to always press and pat, never wipe!

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 pads are super soft and generously soaked in essence. After cleansing, I quickly wiped my face and left the pad on for about 5 minutes. When I removed it, any tightness or heat sensation was gone, which was great. I love that there's barely any scent, just a subtle fragrance. Gently patting it in helps it absorb incredibly well. I usually use 3 pads on my forehead and cheeks. This leaves my skin even more hydrated than using a sheet mask!
ConsWhile the amount of essence is abundant, it's a shame the pads can't hold it all. They tend to drip more than other brands with embossed pads. So when you first apply them, you need to take steps to prevent dripping. Also, if even a tiny bit gets in your eyes, it stings terribly. Most gentle skincare products only cause a slight tingling if they get in your eyes, but this one makes them turn red and burn. Be extra careful to keep it away from your eyes!
TipAfter using it on my face, there's still plenty of essence left, so I like to apply it to my neck and shoulders too. It leaves them feeling incredibly hydrated!

Though thick, they adhere well to the skin due to their excellent adhesion. ✨ Long-lasting hydration - You can use them like a sheet mask as they don't dry out quickly and maintain moisture for quite a while when applied to the face. ✨ Refreshing cooling effect - Great for soothing reddened skin in the evening. It's sufficiently cool even without refrigeration! ✨ Generous essence - Contains a substantial amount of essence, making it a cost-effective item as you can add extra pads after using up the original ones. ✨ Included pad tweezers - Comes with tweezers for hygienic and convenient pad removal, and the tweezers are very easy to store.
ConsThe pads are saturated with a considerable amount of essence, so be cautious when using around the eyes as it can cause a stinging sensation if it gets in.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsI'll write all reviews honestly without embellishment. I have oily, sensitive skin with some redness. 1) Makeup application improved: Using the pads on my cheeks and chin resulted in less flaky skin and better makeup adherence with less patchiness. 2) Gentle and soft: The pads feel soft on the skin. Despite my sensitive, redness-prone skin, there's no irritation or color change even after multiple uses. 3) Essence-rich pads: Even after cleansing my face three times, the pads still have plenty of essence. 4) Convenient tweezer holder: Unlike previous pads, these have a hygienic place to store the tweezers in the lid, which I use regularly. 5) Good ingredients: Apart from fragrance, the ingredients are suitable. Works well for my oily skin without causing blemishes or irritation. 6) Can be split into two: Recommend using one pad on specific areas when skin isn't at its best. When skin needs hydration or soothing, splitting into two works well - there's still enough essence, it's sufficiently moisturizing, and I love how it adheres closely to the skin. 7) Instantly relieves skin thirst and dryness: Immediately calms visible dead skin cells, tightness, and dryness after cleansing, leaving skin moisturized with lasting effects. 8) Will repurchase: Useful to keep in the car and at work to prevent makeup patchiness and for touch-ups.
Cons1) If you have a lot of acne or blackheads, check more reviews and cons. Use gently as it may cause irritation. 2) Gentle on skin but stings eyes: Be careful when cleansing near eyes, as the essence can cause stinging if it gets in. 3) Difficult to open: The opening direction is indicated, but it's hard to tear open and the material feels like it could cut your hand, making it a bit tricky.
TipStore in the refrigerator for use. When using a whole pad, gently wipe without applying pressure - the essence will flow abundantly on face and neck. Use when you need hydration, soothing, or makeup reset outdoors. Using as a mask after applying exfoliating toner before bed enhances the mask's effectiveness.

Even when torn in half, the cotton pad holds a generous amount of essence, which I love because it doesn't dry out quickly. It definitely keeps my skin hydrated longer than other pad products. In my experience, makeup applies better after using this. Plus, the case comes with a clip stand, making it very convenient to use.
ConsThe exfoliating toner can sting if it gets in your eyes. Other than that, I didn't have any complaints during my week of use.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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.ProsDon't just skip over The Hwahae Testers review, please read till the end. I'll keep it brief: 1) It's incredibly moisturizing, to the point of being damp (that's a compliment). Even if you leave it on your face like a mask for a long time, it stays moist... This is amazing. 2) You know how many of you put toner-soaked cotton pads on your face while drying your hair after cleansing? If you're someone who gets toner dripping down your hands when doing this, you absolutely must buy this. Highly recommended. 3) It's great because there's no irritation. The pads have no embossing, and the essence is purely hydrating without any burning sensation. The stickiness is only about 10% (though this may vary). It feels like it's solely focused on hydration. 4) It comes with a built-in tweezer... (I don't buy pads without this feature)
ConsI'll be honest about the downsides too: 1) It stings if it gets in your eyes. I'm not sure if this is just me, but it does sting... My one-star deduction is because of this stinging sensation. 2) The tweezer doesn't pick up just one sheet... It's awkward to put back the extras, so I end up wasting them. But to be fair, this seems to be an issue with most toner pads I've tried.
TipI use it before bed or after showering. I leave it in the bathroom and put it on my face while drying my hair after a shower. Otherwise, my skin gets extremely dry and unhealthy. But don't use it for too long because it stung my eyes, so it's probably not good to leave it on for extended periods. I'm using it well enough to consider repurchasing... I hope you all make a nice pick!

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.ProsHere's my honest review after using it for about a week. I always use pads as the first step after cleansing. These square pads are different from others - they're thicker. They're saturated with the product, so you can pat both cheeks and forehead with just one pad, then squeeze out the excess and apply it to your face for an incredibly hydrating experience. The scent is fresh without being overpowering, which puts you in a good mood. If you have time for a leisurely morning routine, these would also work great as a mask.
ConsIt stings if it gets in your eyes. Other than that, I can't think of any reasons not to recommend it.
