What is this product?

Reach for this when skin is hot rather than dry: the brand's own instruction is to lay a pad on the flushed area for five to ten minutes and pat in what is left, and the sheet has a cut line for halving over the nose. The cooling agent is deliberately not menthol, which means a sustained cool with no mint smell and no sting. Skip it if you want proof of lasting pore change, because every reported figure is immediate, including a 56.04 percent pore volume drop after a single use, and no test institution, subject count or protocol appears in the collected material. 80 sheets, 180 mL total. Reviewers raise adhesion and pore care most; the brand's own filing row for functional cosmetic status is left empty.

What makes it different?

Two things separate it. The cooling is done by a non-menthol amide at position nine rather than by menthol, which is an uncommon formulation choice and removes both the mint scent and the sting. And the brand writes a leave-on mask use into its own product information table, with a cut line in the sheet for treating the nose or forehead alone, which makes it a targeted compress rather than a face-wide wipe.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary.

Key ingredient

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Hydrogenated Lecithin

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 11 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. One of them holds up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.

backed by evidence1

  • After placing the pad on the troubled area that has become hot due to heat, leave it for about 5~10 minutes, then remove it and gently pat the remaining essence on the skin to absorb it. For extremely small areas such as the forehead and nose, you may cut the pad in half along the sheet's cut line and use it.

    열감으로 달아오른 고민 부위에 패드를 올려둔 뒤, 약 5~10분 후 떼어내고 피부에 남은 에센스를 가볍게 두드려 흡수시켜 줍니다. 이마, 코 등 극소 부위는 시트 칼선에 따라 반으로 나누어 사용해도 좋습니다.
