It's a bit like a watery glow..?? Out of curiosity, before washing my face, I tried applying it to my bare face once, and the glow was really... The order of use at this time is: 1. Applied it once to my bare face (glowing) 2. Then went to wash my face with a foam cleanser 3. After washing, I immediately applied it to my face again
ConsIt was like that. I used a foam cleanser on my bare face, and my face became sensitive. (This was the first time I used a foam cleanser.) It stung a bit, so I wiped it off right away. Not recommended when your skin condition is poor. But the next day, I layered it over my basic skincare, and it was okay. However, I no longer get that glow I felt at first...
TipYou should apply the essence generously.

I use it like a pack, and it definitely makes my skin taut and smooth the next day, and my makeup applies well!
ConsIn the beginning, when I used it, my skin felt a bit irritated. However, as I continued using it, it got better, but even now, when I apply it, it still feels a bit irritating, though nothing serious comes out!
TipI generously applied soothing gel and then placed a pad on top, leaving it for about 15 minutes.

I sometimes feel flushing and heat on my face, so I have sensitive skin. 1. Fragrance It has a quite strong floral scent. It was fine when I used it on my skin. 2. Container The semi-transparent plastic container is lightweight and allows me to gauge the amount. There is also a spatula attached to the lid, making it easy to take out the pads. 3. Ampoule Texture The container is filled with a generous amount of transparent ampoule, such as aloe gel and snail gel. Using the spatula attached to the lid, I can easily take out a single layer of the ampoule-soaked pad. The third photo shows the ampoule that was on the pad, which I applied evenly on my neck and body. It looks slightly dried, but the amount of ampoule is substantial. 3. Pads The pad is cloth-like, but it doesn't stretch, tear, or pill easily. The size of each pad is just right, covering one cheek well. There are rough and soft sides to the pad, and I used the soft side like a face mask. 4. Moisture It stays moist enough that it doesn't dry out even while my hair is drying. I applied it to one cheek, and it remained hydrated and plump until the next day, while the other cheek felt rough as usual. I can immediately feel the effect when I run my hand over it. I use it a few times a week, and those who match it better than I do may see even better results. I recommend this to those with dry skin.
ConsIrritation Individuals with sensitive skin may experience irritation depending on their skin condition. When I first received the product and was about to use it, I felt a burning sensation on my skin, so I gently placed a soft cotton pad on my face, but the area it touched became stinging within seconds, so I immediately removed it and rinsed it with water. Three days later, when I tried it again, the irritation was less than before, so I left it on my skin for a few minutes, but due to the heat on my face, the pad quickly became hot, so I removed it after a short use. After a few more days of use, my skin seemed to have gradually adapted, and I was able to use it well. Excessively rough pad For my skin, gently rubbing with the soft cotton was sufficient, but using the rough pad part as directed was too harsh.
TipThe container is very tightly sealed when opened, so you will need to tear it open forcefully. Open it with dry hands without applying anything. (I struggled to tear it open with my hands that had skin care product applied.)

Even with just a slight lack of basic skincare, the face starts to feel tight and dead skin builds up faster... I've been using other Hwahae pads well, and the seaweed pad is also great. First of all, the essence amount is huge, taking up almost half the container. It's not a watery texture, but more of a runny one, and there's so much on each pad that it's perfect for a pack. At first, I was worried the scent might be too strong and give me a headache, but it's fine. The pad has a mesh-like structure, with one side being very soft and the other slightly rougher, so you can use the softer side for packing and the rougher side for wiping. I thought the texture might be sticky, but it actually feels more moisturizing than sticky. I thought it would be heavy, but it's not. The pad size is not too small, and my skin feels less dry after using it. This is a good pad to use in the winter, and it seems to suit dry or sensitive skin better than oily skin.
ConsThe amount of essence is too much, so when I apply it as a pack, the essence drips down. I use tweezers to pick it up, and once some of the essence has fallen off, I continue applying it. There was a slight stinging sensation at first due to my sensitive skin, but there was no redness or breakouts. When I moved around, there was an initial slippery feeling.
TipAll types of pads are being used after refrigerator storage..It certainly feels more soothing..The amount of essence is abundant, so it was good to put it in a portable pad container and use it by refilling the pad.

I've tried various pad toners, but this one is the best in terms of quantity!! - I think this is the most suitable for doing a face pack. It would be great to use before makeup or as a replacement for a night pack! 💚 Abundant essence without stickiness - This is the most important thing. It's great that there's a lot of essence, but if it's sticky, it's not as easy to use.. But this one has no stickiness, which I really liked! 💚 Can be used before makeup without pilling - I was worried it might pill, but it doesn't. It helps create a smooth, supple base for makeup. 💚 Very hygienic - As you can see in the photo, it's tightly sealed, which I liked, and since there's a lot of essence, I didn't want to contaminate it with my hands. The tweezers make it easy to grab.
ConsIf you think and live like a Hwahae, it's a pity.. - At first, I also thought of Hwahae, but there are so many essences.. Haha. And if you just do Hwahae, when you try it, it's too much of a waste 😢 I recommend trying both Hwahae and Hwahae Trial Reviewers when you do it! 🖤 The rough part of seaweed may be irritating to sensitive skin - When it touched the acne-prone area, it was a bit irritating! It helps with exfoliation and making the skin smooth, but for sensitive skin, it's better to use the softer part on the back.

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~~
