| Verdict | Anua's cult-status toner pad in its most functional format: 70 dual-sided cotton pads pre-soaked in a 77% heartleaf + PHA + madecassoside + niacinamide formula. The embossed side physically exfoliates and unclogs pores; the smooth side calms and hydrates. The single most efficient way to add exfoliation and calming to a routine in one swipe. Olive Young consistent bestseller. | A watery exfoliant that melts oxidized sebum and softens blackheads without a single scrub bead in sight — Hwahae 2025's #2 peeling for a reason. |
