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!

Humectant, Masking, Skin Conditioning

Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons:

Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients.

Though this ingredient works well with most skin types, some people with sensitive skin may experience a reaction such as allergic rashes, closed comedones, or itchiness.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

1,2-Hexanediol is a synthetic liquid and another multi-functional powerhouse. 

It is a:

  • Humectant, drawing moisture into the skin
  • Emollient, helping to soften skin
  • Solvent, dispersing and stabilizing formulas
  • Preservative booster, enhancing the antimicrobial activity of other preservatives 
Buffering, Masking

Citric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).

As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and even out skin tone.

If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

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.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

My skin is very high maintenance, sensitive and acne prone - cystic, fungal and hormonal.

It’s hard to always follow my long skincare routine, especially during this current exam season, so this is perfect for those lazy days or for the days when you want your skin to relax and breathe.

It is also the perfect, easy, one-step skincare I use to prep my skin for makeup Show more

These pads are soaked with a lot of serum inside and these are really good for hydration and soothing my dry and acne prone skin.
