First off, it's a product that really drinks up toner, so I was able to use it for a nice hydrating effect. I used it more as a 'doctor' (spot treatment) than a 'pack' (all-over mask) because there wasn't quite enough for a full mask. What I absolutely loved was that it doesn't have any particular scent! I'm sensitive to fragrances, so this is important to me, and I was pleased that there were no unpleasant odors. It also leaves my skin feeling moisturized, which helps my makeup apply smoothly. Recently, with the weather being what it is, my skin has been so dry that my makeup was flaking and pilling like crazy. But because this product provides so much hydration, it creates a nice, firm base that prevents my makeup from sliding around - it just adheres beautifully. I highly recommend this for those with dry skin! Even if you don't have particularly dry skin, I'd recommend it to anyone who thinks, 'My skin feels dry, and I'm worried about my makeup not sitting well.' I'm sure you'll be satisfied using it!
ConsI was so satisfied using this that I didn't really have any complaints. If I had to pick one thing, it might be that the pads are a bit small, and in contrast, the container is quite large, which makes storage a little inconvenient. Also, because the pads are thick, it might be a bit challenging to tear them apart for use.
TipThis has become my favorite pre-makeup routine lately! I use the Hwahae pads as a spot treatment, then layer my usual toner about 3 times, followed by whatever serum I'm using. This creates an incredibly firm, hydrated base for your skin. To lock in the moisture, apply a hydrating cream or moisturizer, then sunscreen, and finish with cushion foundation or liquid foundation. Your makeup will adhere beautifully and have great staying power (don't forget to set with powder!). Even as time passes, it doesn't flake and maintains well. If you have dry skin, you absolutely must try this method!

Texture and Feel: Despite being exfoliating pads, they were incredibly hydrating! Often, toner pads focused on exfoliation can feel harsh, but these were so gentle and refreshing that I almost forgot they were exfoliating pads. They're so mild and pleasant on the skin! Each pad is generously soaked, allowing you to cover your entire face, neck, and even around the ears with just one pad. Product Specifications: The lid comes with tweezers for hygienic use! The pads are slightly smaller than a palm, but as mentioned, they're sufficiently saturated to be effective with just one. I appreciate that they're neither too big nor too small - they seem perfectly sized for a single use. Dead Skin Cell Removal: Given the short period of use, I haven't seen dramatic results in exfoliation yet. However, I had been worried about flaking around my nose causing my makeup to look patchy, but since using these toner pads, that issue has completely disappeared! I'm looking forward to even better results with consistent use.
ConsWhen storing the tweezers attached to the lid, be careful not to insert them in the wrong direction, or the container won't close properly. At first, I thought the container was defective, but it closed fine when I inserted the tweezers correctly. If you're in a hurry and insert them the wrong way, the container won't seal, which could lead to evaporation of the liquid. It's important to be mindful of this.
TipAfter cleansing your face, it's beneficial to also care for your neck and around your ears.

It was so stressful! Then I tried these toner pads, which are supposed to be excellent for exfoliating while still being hydrating. It was truly a game-changer! After cleansing in the morning, I wipe my face with one pad, and it feels like all the dead skin cells are swept away. As a result, my makeup applies much better and stays put without patchiness even in the afternoon! The pads themselves are thin and saturated, so they don't irritate my skin while I'm using them. In fact, after wiping, my skin feels deeply hydrated, making this the perfect first step in my skincare routine.
ConsI didn't experience any downsides while using this product!

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.ProsFirst off, there's hardly any scent! The texture is typical for toner pads, but I was pleasantly surprised by how moisturizing it is for an exfoliating pad. I found it works best when I use it right after cleansing while my skin is still damp. I gently exfoliate with the embossed side to remove dead skin cells, then flip it over and wipe in the direction of my skin texture. It's fantastic! For the first couple of days, I wasn't sure if it was really exfoliating, but after using it consistently for about a week, I noticed my makeup no longer looked patchy or uneven. My skin tends to be very dry in winter and oily in summer, so even moisturizing cushion foundations can look flaky in colder months. However, after using these toner pads regularly for a week, that flakiness has noticeably diminished!
ConsOne area for improvement would be the instructions on the box or case. They could be more detailed. I think many customers might wonder how to properly use an exfoliating pad versus a regular one.
TipMy routine: I thoroughly cleanse my face, then while it's still damp, I use the embossed side of the pad once, flip it over and wipe gently following my skin's texture. After that, I apply an exfoliating toner, followed by my usual skincare products.

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.ProsWhen I apply it, there's a feeling of moisture that extends to the surrounding areas! In winter, my combination skin gets really severe, so I tend to put it on my cheeks rather than my cheekbones, and it feels incredibly hydrating and wonderful. After a grueling trip that left my makeup flaking off due to dryness, I used this consistently for a few days and my dead skin cells improved significantly! Wearing it gives me a sense of calm. I feel like my makeup will go on smoothly tomorrow. Since it's vegan, I trust it to be less irritating and use it confidently. I have fairly large pores, so I should have been using it on more than just my cheeks. Starting tomorrow, I'll try applying it to my pore areas too.
ConsI felt the size was a bit small and wished it were larger.
TipSince it's a toner, it evaporates rather quickly, so you need to use an essence and cream that can provide hydration! As I have thin skin, I only use an exfoliating toner once or twice a week! Other than that, I just apply everything else and leave it on.

One side has an embossed texture, while the other is more of a plain cotton feel. Being exfoliating pads, they don't leave a sticky residue but instead give a fresh, matte finish. It's not a drying sensation, but rather feels like a light, breathable layer is left on the skin. I appreciated that it wasn't overly drying for my skin.
ConsTo be honest, there wasn't anything particularly disappointing about these pads, but I also didn't find them especially remarkable. They're just... average? I'd say they're decent for daily use to even out skin texture, but nothing extraordinary.
TipSince they were pretty standard, I don't have any special tips to share. Just use them as you would any other skincare pad.

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.ProsFirst off, the tweezers attached inside the toner pad lid make it incredibly convenient to use! Being a vegan product gives me peace of mind, and thanks to the Houttuynia Cordata, any blemishes seem to calm down within 2-3 days. Plus, the pads are made of a fabric that's great for exfoliating, making them both practical and effective! With the weather changing lately, my skin's been getting a bit dry and I've noticed more dead skin cells, but this product does a great job at exfoliation. There don't seem to be any particularly allergenic ingredients, it's gentle, and the hydration isn't bad either, so I'd say it's a pretty good product overall.
ConsCompared to other pad products, the size of these pads is a bit on the smaller side, which is somewhat disappointing. The amount of essence is also a little less than I'd like. If these aspects could be improved, I think it would be even better.

With winter here, my skin barrier has weakened, making the deep dryness worse. My usual skincare routine felt like it was just sitting on top, leaving my skin feeling empty inside. But after using these pads, my deep dryness has been tamed! I have super sensitive skin, but I've had no adverse reactions to this product.
ConsThe pads are the smallest I've ever used. I wish they were larger and contained more solution. The textured side of the pad is quite rough, probably for dead skin cell removal. If you have sensitive skin, I'd recommend using the softer side.

It's great for smoothing skin texture and boosting hydration before makeup application. The embossed cushion pads are specially designed to remove impurities and dead skin cells effectively. I've been avoiding pad products for a while because the market seems flooded with mediocre options that lack substance. However, I was curious about the Hwahae Testers' #1 rated exfoliating pad, so I was thrilled to win the chance to try it out for about a week. First off, the package contains 60 thick, embossed pads. The essence isn't excessive, and it doesn't leave any greasy residue or sticky feeling. It effectively refines skin texture, leaving me very satisfied after each use. The pads are made from 100% cotton vegan fabric, so I felt confident using them liberally. Thanks to the embossed texture, these pads effectively remove any remaining impurities and dead skin cells after cleansing, leaving my skin feeling refreshed. They also add hydration, making them a win-win product. The Houttuynia Cordata extract is excellent for calming the skin. When my skin occasionally acts up, I just place a pad on the affected area, and it quickly soothes any redness or irritation.
ConsI wish there were more than 60 pads. I'd love to see a larger size with 90 or even 100 pads.
TipNot only do these pads smooth out my skin texture before makeup, but they also prep my skin perfectly for better makeup application. I've made it a habit to apply a pad about 10 minutes before my makeup routine. While I'm busy with other things, it fully charges my skin with moisture and hydration. I've been using these daily before makeup, and I'm 1000% sure I'll be repurchasing.

Skin texture improvement After cleansing, I used the embossed side to wipe, then left the smooth side on for about 5 minutes daily. This routine noticeably improved my skin texture. * Note: As it's a peeling pad, leaving it on for more than 5 minutes may cause slight tingling (in my experience). 2. Maintains hydration Due to my severe deep dryness, I used to focus on moisturizing during skincare and makeup, adding several steps. This often left a residual feeling even after cleansing. However, using the Hwahae Houttuynia Cordata PHA Peeling Pad removed this residue, which I appreciated. In seasons when my deep dryness worsens, I usually avoid using pads after cleansing as they can cause skin tightness. But these pads kept my skin feeling hydrated after use. 3. Pore care Pore management in your 40s is challenging. Especially when enlarged pores sag and trap impurities, resulting in that familiar condition. Despite regular care, I still need to use pore strips occasionally. I started using the Hwahae Houttuynia Cordata PHA Peeling Pad the day after using a pore strip, so I couldn't test it on problematic pores. However, seeing how clean my pores remained for 9 days, I believe the product works as described. ▪︎Product description ↓ AHA+BHA+PHA+4th generation mild peeling LHA: Thoroughly removes impurities Houttuynia Cordata from Donguibogam: Manages sebum and dead skin cells Heart-leaf Houttuynia: Soothes sensitive and rough skin texture
Cons● Areas for improvement 1. The price of 28,000 won (regular price) for 60 pads, using 2 pads a day for 30 days, feels burdensome. At this price point, I'm hesitant to repurchase. 2. I think it would be more convenient if the pads were square-shaped. If they had a perforated line in the middle to tear into smaller rectangles, it would be easier to use on areas like the nose, philtrum, and under the chin.
Tip● Usage tips 1. Store in the refrigerator for a cooling effect. 2. I've seen significant improvements in pore care by applying pore management products immediately after using the Hwahae Houttuynia Cordata PHA Peeling Pad. 3. The instructions suggest leaving the peeling pad on the face for 3-5 minutes. However, the pad remains moist even after 5 minutes. Not wanting to waste it, I've been using it to manage dead skin on my feet, which has been quite effective.
