What it is

Pre-soaked toner pads delivering a light, watery essence to calm visible redness and hydrate without stickiness; can be used as a quick wipe or mini-mask on cheeks.

Who it's for

  • Skin that feels easily flushed, irritated, or tight after cleansing.
  • Those wanting low-fragrance, non-greasy hydration in pad format.
  • Users looking for a calming prep step before serums/moisturizer.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Houttuynia Cordata Extract (77%) — soothing support for redness-prone skin.
  • Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5) — hydration, slip, and barrier comfort.
  • Betaine / Glycerin / Hyaluronic Acid — humectants to bind water and plump feel.
  • Allantoin — gentle comfort for sensitized areas.
  • Centella components (varies by batch) — calming support; check current INCI.

Free-from / texture

  • Watery essence with thin, soft pads for gentle glide.
  • Low fragrance profile; no essential oils in the base formula.
  • Non-sticky, dewy finish without oils.

How to use & order

  • After cleansing, swipe gently across face; avoid harsh rubbing.
  • Optional: place pads on cheeks/forehead for 3–5 minutes as a mini-mask.
  • Follow with serum and moisturizer. AM/PM; in the morning, finish with sunscreen.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Compatible with most routines; avoid same-session strong peels if skin is reactive.
  • Pair with a simple moisturizer to seal in humectants.
  • Patch test if highly sensitive to botanical extracts.

Evidence & notes

  • Heartleaf and panthenol are cosmetic soothing agents; benefits are supportive, not medicinal.
  • Humectant base helps reduce transepidermal water loss when sealed with moisturizer.
  • Suitable for most skin types; monitor if barrier is compromised or if acne-prone to pad fibers.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Patch test on a small area before first full-face use.
  • If pregnant or breastfeeding, review ingredients with your clinician for personal guidance.
