ConsIt can cause the makeup to smear since it's too moist. Sufficient absorption is required.
TipTake a shower and leave it on your face, and you can maintain a moisturized state while blow-drying your hair!

The formulation is highly viscous and incredibly cooling, making it perfect for hydration and cooling purposes. Although it feels quite rich and creamy, it doesn't leave a greasy or oily residue at all, and only helps address dryness. Even though I have sensitive skin, I haven't experienced any troubles or breakouts while using this product. I was skeptical that the gel-like texture would effectively exfoliate, but rubbing it with a coarse cloth has surprisingly provided great exfoliation. After using this product as a toner pack, my complexion appears brighter, making me reach for it more often. The generous essence amount ensures a long-lasting, true aloe gel-like feel without any evaporation of moisture.
ConsThe formula is thick and creamy, with a lot of essence, so it can be messy when applying it. It sometimes drips down my hands or gets all over the place. The exfoliation itself works well, but it's slippery, so the pad keeps folding or sliding around. It seems like an unavoidable part of the formula.

The moisturizing and hydrating effects were excellent, to the point that using it alone was sufficient. I primarily used it after evening workouts, and it was also effective in reducing the skin's heat sensation.
ConsThere were a few points that I found unsatisfactory. 1. Pads with different textures on each side: While using the pads, I noticed that the textures on the two sides were different. The rougher side could be helpful for managing dead skin, and the smoother side would be good for using as a toner pack. However, the combination with the viscous and slippery essence was a bit disappointing. Additionally, the rough side felt a bit irritating to my skin during cleansing (the smooth side was not suitable for cleansing due to the essence). Personally, I think it would be more convenient if the pads were made of a thin gauze-like material or in a form that can be divided in half for use. 2. Excessive amount of essence: This can be seen as a positive, but in my personal opinion, the viscous essence seeped out too much onto the pads, making them difficult to use. The absorption was also not very fast, and having to apply such a large amount to my face took too much time. 3. Subtle salty scent: Possibly due to the inclusion of seaweed extract, there was a subtle seawater-like salty scent every time I used the product. Those sensitive to scents may find this unpleasant.
TipInitially, it would be best to use this as a toner to gently refine your skin texture, and then apply it as a mask-like treatment. I have dry skin that is prone to blemishes in the winter due to dryness, and I typically follow a 4-step skincare routine, but I did not experience any dryness or tightness when using this pad alone. I believe those with dry skin would find this product beneficial.

It's not repulsive or too strong! The texture is more like an ampoule pad (partial mask pack) than a skin pad. The ampoule is extremely thick and sticky, and a large amount is absorbed, so it drips when applied. hahaha It's not a regular toner pad. * Absorbency and moisture: Even after some time, my skin doesn't dry out after applying it! I usually leave it on for about 5 minutes, then gently pat it in to finish. It takes quite a few pats for it to be fully absorbed! The formula is very moisturizing, so you can easily move on to a moisturizer right after. * Overall usage experience: In the winter, my cheeks and forehead tend to get dry and flaky, but the partial pad format allows me to use it like a pack on the areas that need extra moisture, which was very convenient. With the good moisture and the pads not being too thin, I think I'll be reaching for this often instead of just a regular toner pad.
ConsThe thick formulation makes it difficult to use in the busy morning commute! It takes time to absorb, and if you try to use it quickly, your makeup may get a bit smudged! Recommended for those who want to replenish moisture partially in the evening!
TipI cut it in half and apply it to the surrounding area of my chapped lips as well haha

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.
