Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Masking, Solvent

Dipropylene Glycol is a synthetically created stabilizer and solvent. It is a part of the glycol class in the alcohol family.

Dipropylene Glycol helps dissolve and evenly distribute ingredients. It also helps decrease viscosity and thin out texture.

As a masking agent, Dipropylene Glycol can be used to cover the smell of other ingredients. However, it does not have a scent.

Studies show Dipropylene Glycol is considered safe to use in skincare.

Disodium EDTA plays a role in making products more stable by aiding other preservatives.

It is a chelating agent, meaning it neutralizes metal ions that may be found in a product.

Disodium EDTA is a salt of edetic acid and is found to be safe in cosmetic ingredients.

I actually didn't know toner pads were a popular k-beauty product until I came across this brand. I have to say these are worth the hype! I specifically got this formulation to treat more of the textured areas of my face (forehead/cheeks). I followed the usage instructions for intensive treatment (according to the brand site) which is leaving the pads on my face for 15 min and wiping off with the Show more

Great toner pad!! It didn’t break me out or irritate my skin. After a few uses, I did notice smoother skin texture and my blackheads did disappear. However if you have deep or large closed comedones/whiteheads, this might not be enough. Nonetheless, it’s a great mild exfoliant that’s gentle enough for everyday use.

I use this product once a week and it works great as a gentle physical exfoliator. Make sure you don't apply too much pressure while massaging it into the face.
