Assalamualaikum and hi everyone!
Did anyone else see the video of Han So Hee using SKINFOOD Carrot toner pads on her live? Since her skin always looks sooo good, people were going crazy over it and dang, I have never purchased anything faster than this HAHAH. I was actually thinking of getting myself a toner pad, but still haven't decide between several options I shortlisted. And when I saw that this carrot toner pad is great for dry skin, the positive reviews, plus THE Han So Hee (HAHA! she's THE MAJOR influence in my decision), I was sold.
|| ABOUT THE BRAND
SKINFOOD was founded in South Korea back in 1957 and is a well-known brand for K-beauty lovers. This brand focuses on skincare that is based on food, as nutritious food results in healthy and beautiful skin. This is also why you can find their products being named sugar mask, egg white cleansing foam, rice toner, peach jelly soothing gel, pineapple peeling gel and so much more. It's all food!
Btw, they also have a huge range of vegan products and most of their products are safe for us Muslims to use too! (just dont buy the sake ones, and always make sure to check the ingredients first ya)
|| CARROT CAROTENE WATER CALMING PAD
This toner pad is designed for people with sensitive skin that needs soothing and hydrating, and it contains B-carotene derived from natural carrot seed oil. This toner also claims that it is vegan, helps instantly cool down redness, brighten skin tone, safe for sensitive skin, dermatologically tested and against animal testing. Plus, this toner pad has won Beauty Awards for a total of 18 times as of this day.
What sets this toner pad apart from others is that it is 1.5 times thicker and can be split into half to be used as facial mask. It's like you get to enjoy the privilege of using sheet mask on your cheek daily but with a portion of the price.
There are also 2 other varieties of toner pads that you can try if you have other skin concerns:

|| TEXTURE, PACKAGING, AND HOW TO USE
This toner pad can be used anytime, especially when you need instant soothing relief. The pad has waffle-like texture, very soft, 1.5 times thicker and it is also larger in size compared to normal toner pads. I mean it when I said this toner pad is sooo soft, it's undoubtedly the softest toner pad I've ever used. Since the size is pretty large and can be split into 2, it is more than enough for the whole face. However, I often encounter difficulty retrieving only 1 toner pad from the jar as it kinda stick to one another, so I often damage the other pads while taking 1 out 😅

| them sticking up together against me hahah |
The pads come in a huge, tall jar and it is the biggest jar of toner pads I own. It is a simple jar with a twist cover, and nothing special about the design but it does its job in keeping the toner moisturized and preventing it from spill. But despite it being in a huge, tall jar, the pad on the top is still very moisturized and contains a lot of essence.

2. leave it on for 5-10 minutes
3. Remove pad, gently wipe off your face, avoiding eyes area
4. Gently pat your face to help essence absorbed to the skin
|| MY REVIEW
Disclaimer - I buy the product using my own money and my reviews are of my own, not sponsored. Keep in mind that my skin type is dry and sensitive, and each product works differently, depending on your skin type.
Pros:
🥕 Very moisturizing
🥕 Absorbs well
🥕 Huge pad
🥕 Each pads contains lots of essence
🥕 1 pad is sufficient for the whole face
🥕 Can be used as face mask (just 1 pad is needed)
🥕 The pad is very soft
🥕 Full with essence
🥕 Vegan formula
🥕 Alcohol-free
🥕 Doesn't feel greasy and heavy
🥕 Doesn't sting my skin
Cons:
🔮 Didn't see my skin getting fairer as the product claims but I don't really mind
I honestly think that this toner pad is great but it would be better if it comes with its own tongs to make it easier to pick up the toner pads. This definitely helps in soothing and calming my skin but it's not the best toner pad I've tried. Regardless, I still give this one 8 out of 10.
Price and where to grab:
RM71.50 per jar (60pcs) at SKINFOOD official Shopee.
I am very excited to be a returning customer as I was too focused on new brands I forgot I always love their Black Sugar wash off mask. Should I try their Strawberry sugar mask next?
That's all, thanks for reading!
