When I used other Abib packs, I felt that the quality of the pads was really good. They look like gauze, but they are not too thin or flimsy, but firm. The pads are not easily torn and are tough, and since the essence amount is generous, the adhesion was also good. The amount of essence is not just soaked into the pads, but it's like they were submerged, so the essence is really abundant! The essence has a slight viscosity, so even if you apply it like a pack, it doesn't dry out quickly and you can use it for quite a long time. The irritation is low, so it's suitable for acne-prone skin as well. I've often experienced products for sebum control being too irritating, but this one is really not irritating at all, so I could use it comfortably all over my face. I think it can be used safely by other skin types as well, as long as their skin barrier is not compromised and their skin is not overly sensitive. I tend to be cautious when using pads or packs, as my skin is easily imbalanced and prone to breakouts when it's dehydrated or overly nourished, but I was satisfied that I could use this without any trouble. The clip-on design is convenient. The container has a unique clip-on part that I really liked. Normally, pad containers that you open the lid to use have the clip part on the lid, and most of them become loose quickly, so it's frustrating when the clip falls inside during the opening and closing process. Pad containers that you twist open have a solid inner lid to place the clip on, which makes storage easy, but the twisting motion is inconvenient. This one seems to combine the advantages of both, which I found quite innovative. The lid opens, but there's a groove on the opening side where the clip can be secured, and it's surprisingly well-fixed, so you don't need to separately store the clip. As someone who uses pads frequently and considers both hygiene and convenience when it comes to clip storage, the current Abib container is the most satisfactory among the ones I've tried... It may be a matter of personal preference, but for me, this was a really satisfying aspect.
ConsThe essence is very abundant and can drip down, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. While the large amount of essence and its tendency to transfer to the pad's surface is beneficial, when applied to the face, the pad can slide around and move constantly, which can be inconvenient. In the morning, it is difficult to use it like a face pack, and even when applied before bed and lying down, the pack slides down, requiring one to lie flat immediately. Personally, I used it fine, but if the purpose is to apply it to the skin before going out or to work, this aspect may be uncomfortable. The change in the refill method is a bit disappointing. It seems the packaging has been renewed to a dual-container system, where the inner container is replaced to use the refill product. To me, this feels somewhat unnecessary. Having a separate inner container adds a bit of clumsiness, and if one were to purchase refills in advance for storage, the volume of the refill containers would take up space. In fact, for those who simply want to use a new product, the existing method of cleaning the container and replacing the refill product would likely not have been seen as particularly inconvenient. Of course, replacing the inner container itself has advantages in terms of sealing and preserving the product quality, as well as convenience of replacement. However, the hassle of disposing of the bulky plastic waste and the doubt about whether the plastic will actually be recycled are downsides from an environmental perspective. Personally, I think maintaining the existing vinyl-packaged refill products would have been fine.
TipI mainly used it by placing it on my face like a pack, but if you want more sebum and dead skin care, you can also use it by wiping it off with a hook-shaped pad. The essence amount is high and the pad does not tear, so you can efficiently cover the entire face with just one sheet. It's good to use when you need moisture supply and soothing. It's also good to use after storing it in a cool place, and if you leave it on the acne area for about 20 minutes like a pack, it has a slightly soothing effect. Although it's not dramatically different with just one use, it seems to have an overall soothing effect, so if you use it consistently, it seems to be quite effective. I'm using it once every other day, and I think the product is not very irritating, so I think it's okay to use it every day. I recommend it the most to those with oily skin that lacks moisture, or to those with combination skin that needs soothing in dry weather.

I received the pads and used them diligently for about a week. As you can see, they were well-sealed and have a gauze-like texture. Unlike the typical pads I use, these have a slightly rougher feel. The essence content is truly incomparable, as the Hwahae pads contain significantly more. Even after 20 minutes, they don't dry out, and there's no tightness. They were definitely effective for my acne. I felt a soothing effect. The pad size is about average. The clip is in a clamping shape, making it a bit neater. The scent has a faint herbal aroma, but it's not overpowering. I was a bit worried about the fishy smell of the Houttuynia cordata, but it turned out fine.
ConsThe scar did not improve very well. Also, since the essence content is high, the pads tend to slip easily. It seems that absorption is not good. It has a slippery feeling. You have to rub it for a long time, so it's better to use it at night.

It had a dual structure with one side being rough and the other side being soft, allowing me to use it according to my needs. As I have sensitive skin, I avoided the rough side, but when I lightly wiped with it, it was not as irritating as I had expected, and I was able to use it without any issues. 😊 After use, my skin remained moisturized and supple, so I was also satisfied with the hydration aspect! 💖✨
ConsThe abundant essence content is satisfactory, but as I use it more, the excessive amount feels inconvenient when applied to the face, as it tends to drip down. Additionally, the pads do not adhere well to the skin and easily slide off, which is disappointing.

Pros: ▶️ It feels incredibly moisturizing, and after cleansing, it leaves a hydrating sensation. ▶️ Each pad is soaked in a generous amount of the essence solution. ▶️ The pad material is great for gentle exfoliation. ▶️ The container is refillable, making it an eco-friendly option. ▶️ There is no artificial fragrance, so it's comfortable to use.
ConsThe downside: ✔️The pad surface is a bit rough, which may be irritating for sensitive skin. ✔️It has an unpleasant odor, perhaps because no artificial fragrances were added. ✔️For those with acne-prone skin, this product did not seem to worsen existing breakouts (it may be most suitable for skin with lingering scars but no new blemishes). ✔️It has a slightly sticky/tacky feel.
TipThe optimal skin that I have tried and found to be user-friendly is the skin with overlapping composition, where the trouble is no longer ongoing but only scars remain. I think this product would be good to use in such a case.💕
