Definitely helped me calm down. Although I have redness, it has subsided, and my skin has become comfortable due to the mugwort ingredients. Thanks to the herbs, panthenol, and centella, my skin calmed down quickly. The essence amount is ★★★★★. I've tried a lot of skincare lines like Skinfood and Witch's Factory, but this one has the most essence. Even after absorbing the essence, about 1/3 remains richly. Pad material and size ★★★★★. It's made of a woven fabric texture and is incredibly soft. Much softer and richer than regular cotton pads. It's great for face masks as it holds the essence well and the essence stays on the skin for a long time. The material is also easy to stretch or tear with your hands. It's the largest pad I've tried. Moisture ★★★★★. It doesn't completely eliminate dryness, but the abundant light moisture feels like doing a moisture mask, making it great for oily or dehydrated skin. It's not at all greasy on oily skin. Cooling sensation ★★★★★. The cooling sensation is significant, so it's highly recommended for spring and summer. If you want a cooling effect, this is a must-try. It provides calming and cooling to control sebum and create healthy skin. Scent ★★★★★. It has a pleasant herbal fragrance that is not overbearing, so even those sensitive to scents can use it comfortably. The herbal scent is refreshing.
Cons
The ingredients are ⭐️⭐️⭐️. It contains stearic acid, which blocks pores, so that's disappointing. I didn't really have any serious breakouts, but it would have been better if it didn't have that ingredient. For troubled skin, it's generally fine and can be used without issues. The economic value is ⭐️⭐️⭐️. I prefer thicker cotton pads, as I can split them and use both sides, so I end up using several pieces. I usually use about 4 pieces.
Tip
Hwahae recommends this product for those who are not sensitive to pore-blocking ingredients. If you apply it after washing and drying your hair, your skin won't get dry, and you'll have moisturized skin even after it's fully dried. It also helps with troubled skin.

I've been using a third-party toner pad for about 10 years! But this time, I tried the Milba Lab one and it was really great?! First of all, the pad itself was wider, which I liked. The best part right after opening the lid was that there's a clip to store the lid, which was really convenient ㅋㅋ And the fact that I could use it like a pack was great because the essence is really abundant ㅋㅋ It's so saturated. As soon as I applied it to my face, I felt a refreshing sensation, and after putting one on each cheek and leaving it for 10 minutes, then wiping it off, my skin was so moisturized! It was as if I had applied other skincare products ㅋㅋ Even after applying my usual ampoule and cream and waking up, my face still felt hydrated. It's the best!
Cons
While I wouldn't exactly call it a downside, the pad itself is quite thin, so when trying to peel it off with tweezers, it doesn't come off easily, requiring the use of another hand. Hygienically, it's a good feature, but if I had to point out one aspect, that would be it.
Tip
I'm quite intelligent, haha. When doing my morning skincare routine, using two sheets seems like it would be too much and make my makeup smear! I think it would be better to divide one sheet - use half to reduce the heat and cleanse the pores, and the other half to do a full face mask. Then, lightly dab some essence on a cotton pad and apply it to the forehead and chin area. That should work well! Hwahae

🍀 Formulation - The essence is clear and watery, and the pad is made of very thin gauze, larger than a typical pad. 🍀 Moisturizing Power - The essence itself is watery yet moisturizing, and it is generously filled in the container. Even after removing the pad, the skin feels moist. 🍀 Spreadability (Absorbency) - As it is a toner pad, the lightweight formula does not leave a residue after removing the pad, and it is quickly absorbed. 🍀 Other - True to its name as a soothing pad, it has an excellent soothing effect. It particularly helps quickly soothe reddened skin from sun exposure. - I personally enjoyed the preferred scent (herbal, grassy).
Cons
The thinness of the pad can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. And personally, on days when my immune system is weak, I've felt a stinging sensation when I've left it on my cheeks for a long time.
Tip
I have a sun allergy, and one day I forgot to apply sunscreen on my arms, so my skin became irritated and reddened. I put the Hwahae pad on it, and it quickly calmed down, which was great. The pads are large, and there is a generous amount of essence, so it's good not only for the face but also for rubbing on skin exposed to UV rays.

I tried the Milba Lab toner pads through the Hwahae Trial Reviewers this time..! The reason I applied for this product was that the ingredients were good (I liked them), and it was a fragrance-free product, so I decided to try it. Since the toner pad does not contain any fragrance, the original scent of the ingredients is very faint, so even I, who is sensitive to fragrances, was able to use it comfortably. Also, the good point is that the toner pad surface is quite large. So I was satisfied that it could cover and wrap the entire cheek area at once. Since the size is large, I divided one sheet in half and attached two halves to my forehead. By doing so, the toner pad was filled on the forehead as well. It is also good to divide and attach it to the nose and chin. As you can see in the photo, there is plenty of essence contained. So the essence was well absorbed into the toner pad, and it was able to provide good moisture to the skin. Actually, after using it, my skin became very moisturized. Of course, there was no irritation, and no trouble either. Rather, the redness seemed to be slightly soothed, in my experience.
Cons
To be honest, there are no shortcomings, but if I had to add one, it would be this - why does this Hwahae Trial Reviewers-approved toner pad, with such great specifications, not contain any functional ingredients? This is a minor disappointment. However, the product itself functions well, and the ingredients are impeccable, so I am satisfied and intend to continue using it.
Tip
After completing the final skincare routine, use the toner, essence, and cream according to your skin type. Cover your face with this pad like a face mask. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes, then remove the toner pad. (I love using it like a mask haha) If your skin feels irritated after exfoliating, gently pat your skin dry after cleansing, then place the toner pad on and leave it for about 10 minutes. The various herbal extracts help soothe the irritated skin :)

Hwahae may be suitable for normal dry or oily skin, rather than sensitive skin. The pads are very heavily... saturated, so they do not dry out quickly. (However, they tend to drip...)
Cons
I write very honest reviews. For people like me who are sensitive, this is really not recommended.... Really...!!!! In order of the photos: 1. Before use 2. First use 3. The next day after use, my skin was flipped over (small bumps, breakouts started to appear) -> They say it's effective for soothing, so I used it consistently for a week... 4. After a week of use -> Not only did the breakouts not subside, but they worsened and started to spread to an unmanageable degree, so I had to discontinue use.... It seems the claim of effectiveness for soothing breakouts is definitely not true.. And the claim of relieving dryness? That doesn't seem to be the case either.. Redness appeared, and itchiness developed as well. In short, I don't think it had any positive effect whatsoever 😢.. It's been about a week since I stopped using it, and the breakouts have been gradually subsiding since I discontinued it. I'm not sure if it's just incompatible with my skin, but for those of you with dry and sensitive skin like mine, it's probably best to avoid using this.
Tip
Oh... the seal was so tightly sealed that I almost broke my fingernail trying to peel it off... I thought about using a knife to peel it, but then I'd have to sterilize the blade, so I tried to peel it with my hands, but it just wouldn't budge at all... I really don't know why they made it so tight... If you're going to use this, just sterilize the blade and use a knife to tear it open instead.

The trial photo is the product photo in the product information. 1. Pad The part I liked the most was the size and material of the pad. Compared to other toner pads, the size is larger and slightly oval-shaped, and the material is very thin and adheres closely to the skin. I mainly use toner pads for simple face masks, so I liked that they were thin, large, and well-attached to the skin. 2. Cooling sensation While it's not as cool as ice-cold, the refreshing sensation lasted for about 10-15 minutes. In fact, pads that are too cold seem to irritate the skin more, so this level of coolness was just right for me. However, those who want a more dramatic cooling effect can store the pads in the refrigerator and use them. 3. Moisture It belongs to the category of plump, moist pads. Compared to the previous products I used, which had a moist moisture, this toner has a slightly plump feel, perhaps due to the pad material. While a moist feel is also good, in this case, the skin can feel like it's sitting on top of the skin, so while there is a slight stickiness, the feel of this pad is also quite good.
Cons
1. Fragrance Despite not being highly sensitive to fragrance, I did experience a strong and irritating sensation when applying the toner. While the fragrance tends to dissipate over time, it may still be a concern for cleansing purposes. 2. Ingredients The product is reported to contain some ingredients that can cause blemishes. While it has not caused significant issues for my moderately sensitive skin thus far, I would recommend that individuals with very sensitive skin review the ingredient list carefully before purchasing.
Tip
- A mask pack substitute with a supple, moisturizing texture - Thin material and a size that covers the skin - For those with dry skin that is not overly sensitive I recommend this as a light mask pack substitute to use before morning makeup for those who meet these criteria :)

This is a review after using the product for a week. It matched my sensitive skin well without any irritation, and I was able to use it comfortably without any skin troubles. At first, the pads looked a bit rough on the surface, and I was worried they might be irritating, but I was pleasantly surprised to find them much softer than expected. After using it, I noticed a visible reduction in my milia, which I'm very satisfied with. The fragrance is not overpowering, and the usage experience was great. It was also effective in soothing skin inflammation. Most importantly, the essence is generously infused, allowing me to use it without any dryness, which I really appreciate!
Cons
There were no particular disappointments. It was a bit difficult to peel off one page at a time!? That's about it!
Tip
Use as a soothing pack Placing the pad on the cheeks, forehead, and chin for 3-5 minutes can quickly soothe skin irritation and redness. It is particularly effective in calming the skin when it feels heated. Use gently instead of cleansing Although it may appear rough, it is actually soft, so after morning cleansing, gently wipe it over the skin as a substitute for cleansing. It helps remove dead skin cells and smoothens the skin texture.

The feeling of absorbing without irritation and being moisturized was good. The pad material was a bit inconvenient to wipe off, so I used it as a pack. The size was large, and a lot of toner was applied, so it was great to use as a simple pack! Also, when I put it on my troubled skin and did the pack, the next day, it didn't calm down significantly, but it was maintained without getting worse. It's quite good!
Cons
The essence was thin and abundant, so when I applied it on my cheeks, it kept running down, which was a bit inconvenient. I also didn't see an incredible calming effect!!

The Milba Lab Chungcheong Herb Soothing Toner Pads are so addictive that I couldn't help but use them. I've tried various pads, and I think this Chungcheong Herb Soothing Toner Pad is a great purchase! First, the packaging is really appealing to me~~ The green color gives a sense of calmness and soothes any skin troubles. It's double-packed, so I can use it with confidence. The included tweezers are a nice touch!! There are various patented soothing ingredients, which gives me confidence: Matricaria flower extract, rosemary leaf extract, green tea extract, centella extract, golden extract, Spanish licorice root extract, and rehmannia root extract. These effective soothing ingredients, present in sufficient amounts, help to calm sensitive skin:) The toner pad has a soft texture that can be gently wiped on the skin without any irritation. It balances the skin and provides hydration, leaving my skin healthy~~ The large pads are generous, and I can even use them as a mask! Made with natural ingredients, it's safe to use:) Using it every morning and evening, after cleansing, is most effective. It leaves my skin feeling comfortable and moisturized!!
Cons
There are no shortcomings yet, but I will try it out more and write additional reviews.:)

First, my skin type is extremely dry, and I am concerned about blemishes, pimples, and acne scars. When I open the pad, the amount of essence is visibly abundant, swishing around. Even for someone not very sensitive to scents, the fragrance can be perceived as pleasant. The usage experience is extremely lightweight, and the pad is large enough to apply broadly on the forehead and cheeks. However, the pad is not too thin, so the essence does not dry out quickly. In fact, the essence is the most moisturizing among the pads I've tried. As an extremely dry-skinned person, I was able to keep the pad on for about 1.5 hours, during which I dried my hair and played games, and it never dried out. The thin pad with abundant essence adheres well to the cheeks, and unlike other pads, the Milba Wrap pad stayed on firmly even as I moved my head and jumped around while gaming, especially when the air from drying my hair blew towards my cheeks. The effect is great, as the abundant essence provides proper hydration and prevents dehydration. The essence has a light, refreshing feel, not heavy like an ampoule, and is absorbed quickly. Most importantly, when I wake up in the morning with some redness, a quick cleanse and application of the Milba Wrap pad calms the redness and gives a healthy glow. Typically, pads with a light essence like a toner-essence in-between tend to lose moisture and cause dehydration later, but the Milba Wrap pad hardly experiences any moisture evaporation, so I highly recommend it for dry and extremely dry skin types.
Cons
If you are sensitive to fragrances, you may want to avoid this product. Oily skin types may feel that the product is slippery and glides on the surface, while sensitive skin types may find it slightly irritating.
Tip
Before makeup, although it may not provide a radiant glow, it prevents the base from crumbling and the inner glow from surfacing. Even after 10 hours of makeup, there is no sense of inner dryness, so it is good to use it before makeup.
