Here's what our community thinks
Pyunkang Yul Low pH Cleansing Pad 15 ingredients
Honestly not bad, but my skin has been somewhat sensitive recently and these haven't been helping, even when using them as gently as possible.
They remove most of my makeup well. Waterproof mascara has been somewhat of a nightmare, but everything else it's worked with.
