Toner pads have completely taken the Korean beauty space by storm, and trust us when we say they’re absolutely worth the hype. It might be a mystery as to why or how such a simple product has gotten this viral, but it all comes down to its versatility and many uses. At its core, toner pads are meant to be used at the toner step of the routine, simplifying the need to apply toner to a cotton pad. Going a step up from that, toner pads offer gentle yet exfoliation as they’re commonly made with embossed pads that slough impurities away from the skin. They can even be used as flash sheet masks, placed on targeted areas of the face to treat your specific skin concerns. Need we say more?

Of Mediheal’s extensive toner pad collection, the Mediheal Madecassoside Blemish Pad is by far the most popular iteration topping the bestseller charts. These pads are made for calming and reducing blemishes, in addition to treating post-acne skin. A proprietary CalmingTox complex, composed of Madecassoside and Centella Asiatica, calms and clarifies the skin to soothe redness and irritation. What sets these pads apart from others is that the pads themselves are flexible and can be molded to sit perfectly on the contours of your face.

A dull complexion can be the result of various skin concerns, including sun damage, hyperpigmentation, or the consequence of breaking out. In order to achieve brighter, glowier skin, you’ll want to stock up on ingredients that clear away surface buildup and support a natural radiance. Incorporating these ingredients into your everyday routine will benefit the long-term health of your skin, in addition to helping you reach your glow goals.

The numbuzin No.5 Vitamin Concentrated Serum is chock-full of glow-giving ingredients like Glutathione, Niacinamide and Tranexamic Acid, that treat dark spots and dullness with maximum efficacy. It’s certified irritation-free, in part due to calming Panthenol and Ceramide NP, battling the effects of stress and oxidation on the skin. Users love to use this in conjunction with the matching No.5 Vitamin-Niacinamide Concentrated Pad to amplify the gleaming results.

They’re more than just an attention-grabbing challenge you spot when scrolling through your FYP; peel-off masks are your secret weapon to drawing impurities out of your skin. If you’re tackling blackheads and whiteheads on several parts of your face, applying and removing a peel-off mask helps you get the job done in one go. They’re intended to be slathered all over the face, adhering to the buildup as it dries so it can be removed from the pores, leaving your skin clear and refined.

You’ve tried sunscreens, sun lotions, sun essences… now let’s get you well acquainted with sun sticks. This form of SPF has been steadily rising in popularity over the last 2 years, with more and more brands dropping their own formulas to meet the growing demand. This spring we anticipate sun sticks to completely dominate the sun care scene, winning over the masses with their portability and convenience. You can apply and reapply them whenever you need to without getting your hands dirty, sticking it (ba dum tss) into your bag with ease.

The reef-safe formula is ideal for anyone seeking a lightweight, white cast-free sunscreen that’s suitable for outdoor activities.
