Olive Young bestsellers revealed! These hydrating toner pads make your base so glowy people ask, “Did you get a skin booster?”
Don’t just know mediheal when it comes to hydrating toner pads!
Are you still using a sheet mask every day just for better-looking makeup? Sheet masks are hydrating, but they can be a bit of a hassle: You have to unfold them, line them up on your face, and lie down while you wait, all while essence drips everywhere. Korean beauty lovers have quietly switched to hydrating toner pads. They’re small enough to use wherever you need them, and for a quick pre-makeup fix, all it takes is two or three minutes. There’s no need to rinse afterward; apply your makeup right away, and it will sit on your skin like a second layer. They’re also more affordable and hygienic than sheet masks, with results that are every bit as good. Every one of these popular pads is worth stocking up on!

If you’re already a fan of this brand, these pads are far more convenient than sheet masks. Keep them in the fridge during summer and use them after a shower for a cooling, comfortable treatment that hydrates and calms skin. Their round shape fits neatly over the cheeks and under the eyes, while the lightweight material locks in moisture and stays put even on the nose. The essence is refreshing and plentiful; after using the pads, you can squeeze out plenty more to apply over your whole face. A must for anyone who likes to keep things simple.

This is a brand recommended by Korean dermatologists, so skincare ingredient enthusiasts shouldn’t miss it. The pads come saturated with a pale green essence and feel incredibly soft. If cold northern winds leave your face red, dry, and itchy, apply them to your cheeks and nose and you’ll see the redness fade before your eyes. Centella asiatica is among the first three ingredients, showing the formula contains a generous amount. During a bad skin flare-up, it feels like rain after a long drought: redness, pain, and itchiness are all soothed, with plenty of essence still left after use.
