QUIA Korean Beauty Toner Pads (Dual-Action)
Dual-textured pads that exfoliate congested areas and soothe sensitive ones in a single swipe.
What it is
Thick Korean cotton pads pre-soaked in a gentle, botanical essence, with two sides in one pad: an embossed textured side for light exfoliation on oilier, congested areas, and a smooth side to hydrate and calm cheeks and sensitive spots. The formula uses a mild exfoliant and lavender and other botanicals, skips harsh ingredients, and comes with tweezers for hygienic use. There are 70 pads, aimed at all skin types including sensitive and combination, and it targets the look of enlarged pores, oiliness, rough texture and blackheads.
What reviewers say
Reviewers say skin feels smoother and refreshed right away and pores look less congested with regular use, and many like how gentle, well-soaked and easy the pads are, even on sensitive skin. The honest notes: the results build over a week or two rather than instantly, a few report packaging arriving slightly damp or the odd quantity issue, and, as with any exfoliating step, sensitive skin should go easy on the textured side at first.
