This is my first time using a pad with retinol. As soon as I opened the pad, I felt the essence was really abundant! I took out one sheet and wiped it on my face, and it was so soft and thick that there was almost no irritation. I like easy-to-use products, so I've been using pore care pads and soothing pads, and this product has no roughness, so the pad feels like cotton and I like it. After cleansing, I wipe it along the skin texture or apply it like a pack on my cheeks... the essence soaks in moisturingly. Most importantly, after applying it, my skin feels comfortable... that's the advantage of Hwahae. The next day, my makeup applied well, so I was satisfied. There's less dryness in the cheek area. The package is outstandingly convenient and I like it more than other pad products. Attaching a clip to the lid!!! It sticks well and doesn't fall off. For those who don't like the twisting method, I highly recommend this upward opening method!!! I really, really like it. I want to recommend this to those who want to start retinol care with pads. It's thin, so it sticks well to the cheeks for more than 15 minutes, so you can use it as a pack.
Cons
The sensitive mother has a bit of redness. I'm not sure if it's some kind of allergy or contact from the pad.
Tip
Do not use on the eyes, use it on the broad areas of the cheeks and forehead instead.

You can rely on it for skin troubles or pore concerns! Even as someone with sensitive skin, I can use the Innisfree Retinol Deer Repair Pad with confidence. After wiping it off, my skin feels refreshed and properly hydrated. Especially if your skin condition is unstable or you're concerned about your pores, using it as a spot pack can make your skin feel soothed the next morning. I also like the non-sticky feel. Since it contains retinol, I recommend starting with a small amount at first. Those concerned about dryness should make sure to follow up with thorough moisturizing. Don't forget sunscreen when using it in the morning! It's worth trying for those who want to improve their skin condition.

The essence is plentiful, so it doesn't dry out easily. The pad is thick yet thin, providing good adhesion.
Cons
The retinol effect is a bit disappointing. I'm still using it, so I'll keep using it and make adjustments if anything comes up.

Skin type: Dry After using a 0.3% retinol cream from another brand, I decided to try the Innisfree retinol line, which is well-known. This is the Retinol Trace Pad. It's a pad-type product that flows like a toner. It has a wiping sensation!! The pad is very thin, almost impossible to separate into individual sheets. This retinol pad is recommended for retinol beginners as it is not rough and absorbs moisturingly. The changes from the retinol effect are quite minimal, but since it contains cica ingredients, I did not experience any breakouts. There is plenty of toner essence, so it dripped a lot each time I took out the pad. Recommended skin type: All skin types
Cons
It seems like it would be okay to slightly increase the retinol content.
Tip
I recommend using the toner step after your evening cleansing routine!!

The pad material is very good - it's firm, soft, and suitable for both wiping and patting. The essence is nicely runny and can be applied for over 20 minutes. It's a bit easier to use than a vitamin pack, as you can split it into two sheets and cover your entire face, cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. The downside is that it dries quickly and can peel off a bit unevenly. Compared to a vitamin pack, it has a slightly more dense and plump feel. It was great to use in the winter as it effectively reduced skin heat.
Cons
Price? The list price is too expensive... Try to catch the sale... And it's inconvenient to split it in half.

The pad quality is the best I've tried. There is no irritation at all when wiping, and it is really soft. Even when leaving it on for over 20 minutes, there is no burning sensation.
Cons
The target audience felt a bit ambiguous. I think it would have been better if both sides had retinol. They said it could be peeled and used, but the pad separation doesn't work very well either.

First of all, the cotton pads are incredibly soft! They are so soft that they are perfect for sensitive skin I've tried several toner pads, and these are the softest The essence? contained in them is in such generous quantity that you can use them to make your skin incredibly moisturized๐ฉต
Cons
it's so smooth that you can use it three times a day, but the fact that it contains retinol makes it burdensome to use in the morning, which is a bit disappointing haha. there are no downsides!!
Tip
Mild retinol is not very effective for improving blemishes, but it seems to be effective for skin texture and hydration! It's really stinging if it gets in your eyes, so be careful!!!

I really like the Innisfree pads because they are very soft, adequately thick, and a good size. I've been using the Vitamin C pads well, so I also purchased the Retinol pads. As expected, they are also very soft and nice. It's great that I can easily and conveniently apply the Retinol serum with the pads. I've also been using the Retinol serum in the bottle well, so I'm using this one effectively as well!
Cons
The tongs inside are not very easy to use... It would be better if they were a bit more attached to the lid.
Tip
Retinol should be applied in the evening! And it should not be used together with vitamin C~!

The essence is plentiful, so it cleans well and applies smoothly. The volume is not too small, and the ingredients are good.
Cons
I'm not sure if there are any particular effects, but if there's no trouble, that would be good.

While using it, I didn't feel that it was a particularly good product. It's just a product that can be used ordinarily, but personally, I felt that the disappointing aspects outweighed the positive ones.
Cons
There were really many disappointing aspects while using this product. Compared to products with the names 'retinol' and 'cica', this product feels like it's lacking in both aspects. I didn't notice any noticeable effects in terms of soothing or blemish care...ใ ใ I think it would be much better to buy and use individual products with separate ingredient concentrations. Also, this is a product where you can tear one pad into two to use, but I didn't really feel any significant benefit from that. It didn't tear very well either, so at first I thought it was just a product that doesn't tear. I purchased this as the last pick from Olive Young, with 20 extra sheets in the set, at a really cheap price of around 8,000 won. Even if I could buy it at the same price, I have no intention of repurchasing this product.
