Consthe pros are similar, but it absorbs a lot of moisture, so when you apply it to your face, it can run ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The non-sticky texture is the best part. Design ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved the case the most when I first received and opened it. Fragrance ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It has a familiar and gentle floral scent. The subtle and non-overpowering fragrance allows the skin to rest comfortably even before bedtime.
ConsPersonally, I think the rough surface of the kelp pad may be quite effective for exfoliating, but I'll have to try it out more to know for sure. 😹
TipThe amount of essence is so abundant that it is sufficient even after applying it to the face, using it as a pack, and so on. The remaining product can be applied to the dry skin on the back of the hands or ankles in the spring weather, and it is absorbed very well.

The finish doesn't feel too sticky, but it remains moisturized and doesn't feel uncomfortable. The pad has good adhesiveness, so it was easy to apply and do various things. The included tweezers allowed me to use it hygienically, which was nice. The glue scent is not overpowering and feels pleasant.
ConsThere are no particular downsides! The surface may be a bit rough, so use it carefully.

I often use toner pads, so I was curious about this product, and it turned out to be better than I expected. The pads have two sides - one with a textured surface that's good for exfoliating, and the other is soft for cleansing and soothing. At first, I was worried the kelp ingredient might give it a fishy smell, but the fragrance was mild and not irritating. There's a generous amount of essence, so one pad is enough to cover the entire face. After using it, my skin felt definitely more hydrated. There's a refreshing and organized feeling, and it works well even before makeup. Despite having sensitive skin, I didn't experience any irritation. After using it for a few days, I noticed my skin texture slightly improved, and the flaky dryness I had been experiencing calmed down. Keeping the pads in the fridge and using them like a face mask on my cheeks was also nice, and the included clip makes it hygienic to use. Even though I received the product as part of the Hwahae Trial Reviewers, I would consider repurchasing it because it was such a great product.
ConsThe essence feels a bit heavy for daily use. The amount of essence contained in the pad is generous, to put it nicely, but it's a bit too much, so it tends to drip when using it, which is inconvenient.

Since one side is a bit rough, gently rubbing it will likely remove dead skin, which is great. The fragrance is also nice, and the pad size is large, making it pleasant to use.
ConsDry skin absorbs everything. But then there's a bit of a tightening feeling. I have dry skin, and my face gets dry and flaky. I really have to apply another product afterwards to maintain the moisture.

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 product is a sturdy and user-friendly square container with a lid that has a fixed clip, allowing for hygienic use. The large pad size is sufficient for use on the face and neck, and it can also be used as a sheet mask. While the artificial fragrance may be divisive, the pleasant scent is enjoyable. One side is slightly rough, and the other is soft, allowing for use based on skin condition and purpose. The smooth-type essence is moisturizing on its own.
ConsThere is nothing to criticize, but if I had to pick something, it would be that the seaweed-like shape looks like a washcloth upon closer inspection, and in reality, it should be used gently on the face, while the remaining essence can be rubbed onto the rough areas like the heels. However, even without rubbing it strongly on the face, it can still be stimulating, so one should be cautious.
TipRubbing the heel or ankle area with kelp can help remove dead skin and provide moisturization.

It's not a regular face mask, but it's square-shaped and about the size of a child's palm. It has a slight scent, and when you apply it, you get a slightly cooling sensation, but your tired skin feels soothed. It's bouncy and has good absorption.
ConsIt doesn't cover the entire face, so you'd have to go back and forth if you want to do the whole thing. Other than that, it's good.

At first, I was surprised by how slippery the product was, as I had never used anything like it before. The liquid is absorbed so much that it was quite slippery to wipe off, so I had to absorb some of it first before wiping it off. When I used this in the morning before going out, I was worried that it wouldn't absorb well, but that was not the case at all. After about 5 minutes, the slippery feeling had completely absorbed, leaving my skin feeling moisturized and supple, not sticky at all. It's like using a refreshing serum or mist, making my skin feel hydrated and plump. So on days when I have time, I like to use one of these pads in the morning as well. At night, I use one or two of them. I've noticed my skin feeling more bouncy and hydrated after using this for about 3 days. I like to use this after lightly wiping my skin with a watery toner and a kelp pad for cleansing and masking, then following up with a hydrating ampoule and cream. Since aloe-based products tend to work well for my skin, this has been a great addition to my routine.
ConsThere's not much! The main point is that it's quite slippery, so you'll need to absorb it a bit to wipe it down? And the packaging is a bit tough to tear open (you might be wondering if you're tearing it right, but yes, that's correct - tear it with force! haha). That's about it... I'm satisfied with it.
TipDon't rush it! If you have about 5 minutes to spare, it's possible even during the day Highly recommend doing it at night Be sure to finish with a cream Always keep the lid closed and try not to turn it over as much as possible!!

The scent is subtle, so there seems to be little love or hate for it! The formula is like an essence runny serum, similar to a kelp extract, so I'm using it as a skin pack rather than a skin pad!! It seems to be as soothing as aloe gel, and I'm satisfied with it!! The pad is generously soaked in essence, so I'm very satisfied The tweezers are also located inside, making it convenient to store vertically
ConsThe nasal formulation seems to have slow absorption. It takes a little time to get it absorbed!!
TipI have applied a face pack-like product after completing my skincare routine! It is soothing and I am satisfied with the results :)

There are so many sheet masks that are too watery and just drip off quickly, but this product has seaweed ingredients, so it adheres well to the face and doesn't fall off, even when using it for 10-15 minutes like a mask. I thought it might have a strong seaweed scent since it's a seaweed pad, but the fragrance is just subtly pleasant and not at all overpowering. And since my skin is sensitive, I usually try to avoid cotton pads, but this pad has a high viscosity formula and the pad itself is very soft, so there was no irritation at all. The softer parts of the pad without the seaweed shape were great too.
ConsThe seaweed-shaped part of the pad seems to be just a design. It was a bit annoying to dock with that part, but other than that, everything was good. The price was a bit higher than other pads, but if the quality is this good at this price, I'm willing to buy it. Other pads seem to have too watery or slightly lower quality in terms of the pad or the contents. Some pads are too thin or irritating, but this product has excellent quality. The design of the case exterior, the aesthetics of the pad, and the inclusion of seaweed and kelp extracts in the contents were all incredibly impressive.
TipThe effect of the ampoule in this pad is better than other pads, so after taking out about four, apply it to your forehead, cheeks, and chin, and it will be great to pack it!!
