It feels very moisturizing and like using a concentrated ampoule pack, and the amount is generous enough to cover the entire face with just one sheet. My skin felt well-hydrated. I have dry, thin skin and no blemishes. I tend to get pimples when there is excessive oil or nutrition. This product, due to its high concentration or ingredients, seemed to cause pimples when my skin was sensitive. It also felt a bit too much for daily use, so twice or thrice a week was the right frequency for me. It's a good alternative to using a regular face pack. Using it as a wash-off pack is not recommended. The instructions mention using a mesh net, but that can scratch the skin, so it's absolutely not advisable. At first, I thought it was made of kelp, but it's just a plastic mesh-like material. I almost damaged my skin trying to use it as a wash-off pack when it was almost dry. It's less irritating when used as a hydrating pack, but still not recommended. The kelp ingredient itself worked well for me, so I was quite satisfied using it as a pack instead of a regular one. The inner compartment for the applicator was also convenient.
ConsIt's not easy to hold and spread the product on your face due to its slippery texture. However, the mesh net helps prevent it from sliding. If you have sensitive skin, it may cause pimples. It may be too much for oily skin. The scent is a bit strong, reminiscent of your mother's perfume. The scent is not bad, but it lingers quite strongly, like a perfume-like smell.
TipApply a thin layer evenly on the face and neck. Leave it on the areas that need intensive moisturizing. Use it as a pack 2-3 times a week when the skin feels dry.

The pad size is also quite large, which I liked.
ConsThe scent is like your mother's cosmetics. You may also feel it's a bit sticky.

So when used as a pack, the moisturizing power is almost no different from using a sheet mask. The scent is like a floral or shampoo fragrance, similar to my mother's cosmetics. At first, I was a bit worried because the formula felt heavy and stuffy, but after absorption, it finished with a supple, non-greasy feel. Even though I have oily skin, this was sufficient for hydration. The usage experience was virtually indistinguishable from using a sheet mask. This is a supple pad that is great to use during the dry autumn to spring seasons.
ConsAs I mentioned before, the floral or shampoo-like scent of my mother's cosmetics was too strong and unpleasant, to the point that it gave me a headache.

The side with the kelp pattern is slightly rough, and the other side is completely soft, so when using the soft side, there was almost no irritation during use. Although it is kelp, the essence feels sticky and the texture really feels like applying seaweed. ▫️Usability: As emphasized in the product description, it was good to use it in various ways such as cleansing and masking. In the morning, I used one sheet for cleansing, and in the evening, I used about three sheets as a mask pack. There was quite a lot of essence, so it felt like using a pad-type mask pack. ▫️Effects: With short-term use for a week, I couldn't visually confirm the lifting or whitening effects. However, as I have sensitive skin, I used it without any major trouble. The absorption was a bit disappointing. When used as a pack the day before, there was still a feeling of it remaining even when washing my face in the morning. The essence seems to sit on the surface a bit, but the moisture was not lacking at all.
ConsI came in to write a review, but I was shocked when I saw the price. It seems too expensive compared to the usage experience. The amount of essence is quite a lot, so I can use it as a toner, but it was inconvenient because it took some time to absorb into my face in the morning. I mostly used it only in the evening. The fragrance was also not quite to my liking. It's not strong, but it has a typical cosmetic smell.

It's not a watery essence, but rather a gel-like essence with a noticeable viscosity (not an unpleasant stickiness). The front of the pad has a mesh pattern, which allows for effective exfoliation, and the slippery essence felt soothing without any irritation. The back is soft and smooth in texture. It not only provides hydration but also helps with wrinkles and elasticity, all in one step. It seems suitable for various skin types. Due to the unique texture of the contents, the moisturizing effect lasts long, and the pad doesn't dry out quickly. It also has excellent adhesion to the skin.
ConsThe gel has a slippery, kelp-like surface, so it tends to slip a bit in my hands when I'm trying to wash it off. The scent reminds me of my mom's cosmetics, but I personally would have preferred an unscented version.

It's a quantity I've never seen in any other brand!! The pads are also plentiful, so it lasts a long time~~ At first, with my combination skin, I thought it would feel sticky, but it absorbed surprisingly well, leaving no residue after use, which I liked ㅎㅎ It's kind of like using a sheet mask, in a way!! The container is slightly transparent, so you can check the remaining amount without opening it, which is nice~ And the flat-tipped applicator made me feel it was a bit safer to use!
ConsThe product was more irritating than I expected..ㅠㅠ As soon as the essence touched my skin, it felt irritating..! Even after absorbing it, the irritation lasted for some time, so I couldn't use it for long.. It's disappointing ㅠㅠ And there's a sense that it's not completely refined! Something can be felt, but it's not visible, and I don't know what it is..! The fragrance is like old cosmetics, so sensitive people might want to think about it!! However, it seems like many people who suit it well, so if you're not sensitive and like moisturizing products, it might be worth trying!
TipIf there is leftover essence, it seems possible to use it like a pack by putting it in a cotton pad~~

The pad is in the shape of a sea mustard and really feels like sea mustard ㅋㅋㅋ It's so interesting ㅋㅋㅋ First of all, the ampoule is really full, so I can apply it to my face, neck, and whole body with just one sheet... When I applied it to my face, the ampoule amount was so much that it took a long time to absorb it...It's so slippery and bouncy ㅋㅋ But after fully absorbing it, there's no stickiness and it's all absorbed ㅋㅋㅋ My skin feels moisturized and good ㅋㅋ But since my skin is sensitive, I'll check my skin condition tomorrow and come back to add a review if any troubles arise..
ConsThe scent is just like my old mom's cosmetics! It's a really strong smell, and I'm feeling a bit averse to it. And while I was rubbing it in to absorb it, I felt something rough and bumpy on my hands, and I was wondering what it was. But then I realized it was peeling off like dead skin... At that moment, I thought I had accidentally bought a peeling gel, but it's probably best not to use this when applying makeup.
