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

When I first opened it, it had a similar lid and clip as other pads, so the hygiene is good. - Absorbency: The pad is sufficiently soaked with a viscous ampoule that feels like seaweed and marine algae. After 10-20 minutes of use, patting it into the skin increases skin elasticity and radiance! - Spreadability: It's not as watery in viscosity as ampoules sold in the market. At first, I thought the viscosity was too high, but once applied to the skin, it spreads well without stickiness. - Skin type: Combination, often experiences dryness.
ConsWhen applied to the skin, the pad itself has too much serum that it drips a little at first, but then stays in place (so it seems like the serum is really heavily concentrated... Wait, is this a drawback? Isn't it an advantage?).
TipThanks to the ample amount of ampoules, I was able to cover my face 2-3 times. After using them, the remaining ampoules provided a lifting effect for my entire face!

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.

It has a really nice formula, and if you gently massage it in rather than just patting it on, it absorbs really well without any stickiness. I'm amazed at how well it absorbs!
ConsDue to the formulation, I'm not sure if it's possible to wipe it off. And when I apply the pack, it tends to slide down the smooth areas. So it's better to apply it to the uneven areas that come into contact with the skin.
TipIt's better to apply the pack to the back side rather than the smooth side.

The amount of essence seems sufficient with just one sheet. The moisture content is absolutely amazing. The texture is a bit like runny mucus, but it's less sticky than it appears and incredibly moisturizing, which is great. The pads have different sides - one is slightly rough, and the other is soft, so you can use whichever side you prefer, which is convenient. The ingredients include kelp and seaweed, which seem to help soothe the skin. It's incredibly bouncy, and after applying, you can feel the elasticity, which is very satisfying.
ConsThe amount of essence is more than enough, to the point where it drips down, which is a bit inconvenient. However, the usage experience surpasses that.
TipFecto is great because it's suitable for everyone to use! After showering, I can just leave it on and it won't dry out until I'm done with my whole skincare routine. It's so convenient🐳

I wondered if I could use it as a scrub, but then I realized it was a face mask. I just applied it right away, didn't I? Huh? It's not even snail mucus, so what is this...? It's dripping. But it's so moisturizing.... Even after I applied it and dried my hair, it didn't dry out and my skin became supple.
ConsIt seems like there's not enough time in the morning to write. Moreover, the contents are packed in tightly, so when I stick them on, the pad slides down ㅋㅋㅋ But it's good that it doesn't dry up!
TipIt's great for drying your hair after applying it. It doesn't dry out your hair!!!! And I thought it would be sticky, but it's not sticky at all, and your skin is fully hydrated, which is just wonderful.

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.

ConsIn my experience, the Hwahae was a bit strong for me, but the pack was good. Even when applied to the kelp area, it would slide down when eating food. Apart from that, there were no other downsides. I subtracted one star because the kelp area was strong.
TipIt is moisturizing, but since it is a partial pack, dryness may occur in other areas, so apply your basic skin cream and then apply the pack.

The pad itself is quite wide, so it was great for applying the pack!!
ConsThe liquid content was nice, but when I applied it, there was a bit too much of a runny feeling, which was a bit inconvenient. If there was a midpoint perforation, it would be even better to peel it off!
TipAfter a simple wash, applying a pack while drying your hair provides a nice sense of moisture replenishment and cooling.

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 was unfamiliar with the term 'Hwahae pad', but the usage feels similar to familiar aloe gel. 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.
