| 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. | Ranked #1 blemish pad on Olive Young for two consecutive years and the product that made Mediheal #1 overall. The magic is the balance — salicylic acid does the exfoliating work while madecassoside from centella calms any reaction. Use 2-3 times a week and acne-prone skin visibly clarifies within 3-4 weeks. |
