If you're looking for a quick and convenient way to add moisture to your routine, these pre-soaked pads deliver a hydrating essence that soothes and preps your skin.

• Skin Type: Best for dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin.
• Primary Concern: Dryness, flakiness, and a compromised skin barrier.
• Key Feel: A soft, textured pad soaked in a watery essence that feels cool and refreshing.
• Results: Immediate relief from tightness and a plump, dewy glow with deep hydration.

• 1) Cleanser — quick wash; clean base.
• 2) [THIS PRODUCT] — gently wipe over your face.
• 3) Moisturiser (PM) / Sunscreen (AM) — seal & protect.
• Note: Already own a similar step? Finish that first (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3–4 steps):

• 1) Cleanser.
• 2) [THIS PRODUCT] — Gently wipe the embossed side over your face, then pat in the excess essence.
• 3) Targeted Serum (optional).
• 4) Sunscreen SPF 30+.

Wait times: 30–60s between watery layers; 1–2 min before SPF/makeup.

Minimalist (3 steps):

• 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if makeup/water-resistant SPF: oil → water).
• 2) [THIS PRODUCT] — Gently wipe the embossed side over your face, then pat in the excess essence.
• 3) Moisturiser/Oil (lock in hydration if needed).

Texture rule: thinnest → thickest.

• Daily Use — AM/PM:
• Amount: Use one pad per application.
• Apply to: Face and neck. Avoid the immediate eye area.
• Method: After cleansing, gently wipe the embossed side of the pad over your face, then flip to the soft side to pat in the remaining essence. For an extra boost of hydration, leave the pads on dry areas for a few minutes as a mini-mask.
• Wait times: 30–60s between watery layers; 1–2 min before SPF/makeup.
• Frequency: Can be used daily, both morning and night, to prep and hydrate the skin.
• If-This / Then-That:
• Very oily T-zone? The pads can provide a gentle swipe of hydration without feeling heavy.
• Very dry/AC? Use the pads as a hydrating toner and follow with a rich moisturizer to seal in hydration.
• Sensitive/reactive? Do a patch test first. The formula is balanced with Propolis Extract to soothe and repair, but every person's skin is unique.
• Watchouts (1 line): Pilling = too much product or short waits; sensitivity = stacking strong actives; “no results” = inconsistent SPF.
• Safety: Avoid broken/irritated skin. Stop if burning rash. Teens: cleanser–moisturiser–SPF; avoid strong actives unless clinician-guided.

These hydrating pads are a gentle staple for daily use and do not need to be alternated with other actives.

• Daily: Use AM and PM as a hydrating toner step.
• If irritation-prone actives (AHA/BHA/retinal/retinol, strong vitamin C, peel pads): These pads are great for soothing and calming skin after using strong actives. They can be used on the nights you are not using a strong active, or even immediately after a gentle exfoliant to replenish moisture.

AM/PM cheat-sheet (auto-render relevant bullets): Vitamin C AM daily; Niacinamide AM/PM; AHA/BHA/PHA PM 1–3×/week; Retinal/Retinol PM 2–4×/week; Eye creams AM+PM (½ rice grain per eye).

Mauritius note: The pads are excellent for a quick hydration boost on hot, humid days and are especially useful after a long day indoors with air-conditioning to relieve dryness and a feeling of tightness.

Safety: If irritation occurs, reduce frequency to 2×/week, switch to soothing nights, and follow patch-test guidance.

• Immediate: Skin feels intensely hydrated, plump, and soothed. You will notice a healthy, dewy glow.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, skin may feel more supple and less tight, and flakiness may be reduced.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Sustained use helps to strengthen the skin's barrier, leading to less sensitivity and a more even skin tone.

These pre-soaked pads are a convenient and hygienic alternative to a bottle of toner with cotton pads, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring a consistent application of the essence with each use.

• Ingredient rationale: The product's hydrating and soothing properties are based on the high concentration of Propolis Extract and Hyaluronic Acid. Propolis Extract is known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, while Hyaluronic Acid is a powerful humectant that provides deep hydration.
• Brand claim: The claim that the pads are "one step" is a brand claim. While they can be used as a standalone toner, they are not a substitute for cleansing and moisturizing.

With 70 pads used once daily, this product will last approximately 2-3 months. A reorder every two months is a good cadence to ensure a consistent supply.

These pads are an excellent prep step that pairs well with a variety of cleansers and moisturizers. They are great for a quick and simple routine or as a hydrating boost before applying serums.

Based on reviews on Reddit's r/AsianBeauty, users praise this product for its ability to deliver a massive dose of hydration to their skin. A reviewer shared, "These pads are a lifesaver for my dry skin. I use them in the morning as a quick mask and my skin feels so plump and hydrated all day" (Reddit, r/AsianBeauty, thread 2024-05). Another reviewer on Amazon noted that "They're super moisturizing and gentle on my sensitive skin, which is exactly what I was looking for." A fair caveat mentioned by some users is that while they are effective, they are a little pricey for the quantity, so they are not an everyday staple for everyone.
