First of all, I liked the point that it has a neat design and even a place to store the tweezers. ๐ฅฐ The thickness is good, as it helps to smooth out the skin texture with the kelp pad and soothes the skin with the soft fabric. I had a breakout shortly after receiving the product, and my skin was in terrible condition, but after using the kelp pad to smooth and moisturize my skin every morning and evening, the recovery was very quick!! Love the kelp pad!๐คฉ The contents felt a bit sticky when I touched them with my hands, but when I applied it to my face, I was surprised that there wasn't much stickiness. I dislike stickiness on my face, so I'm glad this aspect was also satisfactory. ๐คญ
ConsIt does look good to apply the Hwahae pad generously, but I felt like there was a bit too much product.๐ฅฒ I'm not sure if it's because the pad is too thick or if it's just that a lot of the product is seeping out, but when I placed it on my cheeks, it kept sliding down, so I had to keep pushing the pad back up a little.๐ฅฒ

When absorbed, it feels refreshing, and the dry feeling is well-controlled. Gently wiping with the side with the kelp attached gives a feeling of slightly organizing the dead skin.
ConsIt is a bit slippery and difficult to remove, and it feels a bit slippery on the skin when used as a pack in the beginning-(it does not stick well!) Rather than expecting a calming effect, it should be considered as a moisturizing product-.
TipIt seems better to use it more refreshingly!

Last summer, I did not properly manage my skin, so my pores are still widely open, and my skin elasticity has decreased, making it feel dull and sagging. Regarding the product format, the square pads are quite large. They do not tear, and the different types of pads on the front and back allow for versatile use. The rough texture, reminiscent of kelp, helps to remove dead skin, while the soft side can be used like a pack. The formula is not runny or quick-drying like other toner pads, but rather has a sticky, viscous texture. However, it does not remain sticky for long and is quickly absorbed, leaving a long-lasting moisturized feel. As mentioned earlier, just a brief application leaves the essence visibly moisturizing the skin. I felt it was very effective in replenishing moisture. After using the pads, I did not apply any other products, yet there was no dryness. I believe that adequate skin hydration is the key to improving elasticity, and given the product's effectiveness in moisture recharging, I have high expectations for its ability to boost skin firmness. The large pads can be applied under the eyes, covering the laugh lines, and one can also be placed on the forehead. The combined benefits of hydration and cooling are visibly effective in improving pore tightness and elasticity.
ConsThe pack has its unique slipperiness, and the tweezers also become slippery, making it a bit inconvenient to use!
TipGently wipe away rough areas to remove dead skin, then apply the essence all over the face to allow absorption. Next, apply it to the soft areas with large pores or sagging concerns, then blow-dry the hair and finish by washing it off. ๐

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.ProsDuring the product usage period from 4.10. to 4.18., I used it every evening, and I took photos before and after using it, but there wasn't a significant change visible in the photos. I have a very dry skin type after cleansing, and when I leave the pad on, it stays moisturized for a long time. It stays moisturized even if I leave it on for more than 20 minutes! However, I don't recommend using it for 10 minutes in the busy morning time as it's too slippery and moisturizing, and it takes a long time to absorb.
ConsDuring the period of use, there were no issues such as milia or acne. Rather than a clear, moisturized feel, the texture is more slippery, differing from regular moisturizing pads. The price is high, making it a burden to purchase. The seaweed pad is unique and eye-catching, but it's unclear what role the seaweed shape plays. The excessive slipperiness means that when the tweezers touch the ampoule, it can be problematic...

It was thick enough that it didn't dry out even when left on for more than 15 minutes. It had a texture similar to an aloe vera pack, with a bit of viscosity. The built-in applicator was convenient to use. The refreshing finish left my skin feeling thoroughly hydrated, and I'm really satisfied with the results!
ConsThere were no particularly disappointing aspects, but if I had to pick one, it would be that it was so moisturizing that it slid around a bit on my face, though that's about it.

The review is completely unbiased and honest, with no guidelines or restrictions. 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 formula is a highly concentrated, slippery pack, but surprisingly, it doesn't feel sticky after drying. 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.

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.ProsI've been using it for about 2 weeks, and unlike the VT skinpack and Skinfood carrot pads I used before, it has a fairly thick consistency. However, due to this thickness, after using the pack for about 10 minutes before bed and then washing my face in the morning, there are still some unabsorbed residues that feel slippery. But the moisture is really amazing. Even if I just mist the skin with a fine spray (like the one from Daiso) and don't apply any other products, my skin really absorbs makeup well. If I have an important event or need to wear makeup for a long time, I'll apply about 3 of these to my forehead and cheeks the night before, and put the remaining one on my neck - it works really well.
ConsThe product's viscosity is also a feature, but since it comes out when washing the face, the slippery feeling makes me prefer water cleansing over foam cleansing. This residual sensation may divide opinions.

The slippery texture was not the most pleasant to use, but the quick absorption made it not too bad. During the dry spring season, there were some flaky areas around the nose and mouth even after exfoliating, but using the pack and gently wiping away the rough spots left my skin smooth the next day. While the formula is heavy in terms of moisture, the lightweight feel makes it suitable for summer when an additional cream may not be necessary to evenly care for skin tone and texture.
ConsDue to the sticky and heavy formulation, the amount of essence absorbed in a single sheet is quite substantial, which can cause some inconvenience when using it as a mask, as it tends to slide down.

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.ProsAlthough I don't have troubled skin, my skin is very prone to redness and dryness, with freckles and blemishes. Even a slight dullness in the changing seasons can make my skin look unhealthy. So I'm diligent about cleansing and basic skincare. Although I've only been using this product for a week, the pads have a good amount of essential essence, and I was lazy and just wiped and patted it on like a face mask before sleeping. Comparing the photos, my skin's dryness has improved significantly, and the redness has subsided, leaving a healthy glow. As a beauty product nomad, I tend to try anything that claims to be good for hydration and blemishes. Comparing the photos, I can see the effects. I've been storing it in the fridge and using it, and the cooling sensation helps soothe my skin. Lately, I've been wiping and patting it on daily, and it's been great for my dry, wind-and-mask-irritated skin in this springtime. Personally, I'm very satisfied with the improvement in my dryness, and I'm looking forward to the effects after a month. ๐
ConsIf I had to nitpick, aside from the slippery aspect of the kelp that you're scrubbing, it's alright.
TipOriginally, toner wiping is also called the second cleansing, right? Keep it in the refrigerator, wash it, and immediately spray the mist once, lightly press your face with the sea tangle, and then gently wipe it off like the second cleansing with a soft cloth. Attach it for about 5 to 10 minutes like a pack with a soft cloth and let it absorb. I don't have any trouble, so if I suddenly get too much moisture, pimples? like that come out, so I don't always apply cream, but it's still moist. If the condition of the day seems a little off, apply a moisture cream on top and use it according to your skin type~

ConsIt may feel a bit slippery due to the aloe-like texture, so some may dislike it. Since it's not a fabric but rather made of kelp, the adhesion may not be as good as expected...?
