| Verdict | The OG calming toner pad — 40,000ppm heartleaf extract on a dual-textured pad (gauze side for gentle exfoliation, cotton side for soothing) that launched an entire product category. Two consecutive Olive Young Awards. Calms redness, refines texture, and preps skin for the rest of your routine in one swipe. The secret weapon for acne-prone skin that can't tolerate BHA: heartleaf's anti-inflammatory action tackles the inflammation without the purge. At $20 for 80 pads, the per-use cost is almost embarrassing. | COSRX upgrades the cult BHA Liquid — same hero salicylic, now with cica and panthenol so even congestion-prone-but-sensitive skin can finally use it daily. |
