Editor's note: Here at Cosmo, we're all about being up to date with the latest drops from *all* the beauty brands, finding hidden gems already out there, and finding our next Holy Grail. And don't worry—we're not gatekeeping!
Every day, we post one beauty product from our stash at the office (because trust us, we get a *lot* of them) and give you a no-nonsense lowdown on each item. You get all the info in just one click. It's a TL;DR, if you will. They're all in one daily series: The Beauty FYP, a page that's all about beauty—just for you (see what we did there?). Let the Cosmo editors be your personal algorithm. ;)
Confession: Even though I'm a beauty girl through and through—I've got the overflowing drawers of makeup and skincare products to show for it—I'm lazy AF when it comes to applying skincare, especially at night. This is why I'm constantly looking for ways to cut the time I spend applying toners, serums, and lotions in half. (See: this toner-moisturizer hybrid I've been obsessing over).
One multi-use skincare product I've been seeing all over the Internet for a while now is the Mediheal Toner Pad. These colorful boxes contain toner-soaked cotton squares, with each variant promising to either moisturize, exfoliate, or brighten your complexion with continued use.
If you're just like me—a.k.a. a lazy (but efficient) beauty girl—you'll want to read today's #BeautyFYP on the Mediheal Toner Pads. Will they be the latest addition to your skincare shelf? Keep on reading to learn more:
What are the Mediheal Toner Pads?
This cult favorite skincare product is produced by the South Korean skincare brand Mediheal. There are currently seven variants available that are tailored for specific skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, acne, dryness, and more. You can either use it as a typical toner or as a treatment mask by leaving the cotton squares on your face for 15 minutes.
Each box contains 100 toner-soaked cotton squares and a tweezer for hygienic purposes. P.S. If you want to save up on money, you can cut each square in half so you get double the product—it'll last you longer!
What are the variants and ingredients of the Mediheal Toner Pads?
As mentioned above, there are currently seven variants available, with each of them suited for different skin concerns. Here are the key ingredients that can be found in each one to guide you on your next add-to-cart spree:
1. Madecassoside Blemish Pad
If you find yourself nursing inflamed pimples or just suffering from redness in general, this variant is perfect for you. It contains madecassoside, the primary component in centella asiatica, which, if you know your skincare science, is absolutely godsent for soothing and calming down redness and inflammation.
2. Teatree Trouble Pad
Dealing with sudden breakouts? Prevent them from getting any worse by swiping on the Teatree Trouble Pad. Its star ingredients are tea tree oil from Jeju Island and lactobacillus, both of which help to soothe the swelling and redness of angry pimples. Mediheal recommends leaving these pads on the affected areas of your face after cleansing for a more intensive treatment.
3. Vitamide Brightening Pad
Achieve glowy AF skin with these toner pads that are loaded with 3% niacinamide (which helps to lessen hyperpigmentation and dark spots), sea buckthorn (which is high in vitamin C), and seven sources of essential vitamins that will nourish your complexion and give it a glow boost.
4. Phyto-enzyme Peeling Pad
For smoother, brighter skin, we recommend exfoliating your skin at least two to three times a week. While we have waxed poetic about our love of chemical exfoliants here at Cosmo, we won't say no to a physical one—as long as it's still super gentle. This variant combines the best of both worlds, as you get a chemical and physical exfoliant (embossed, textured side) in one pad.
Its key ingredients are natural papaya enzyme, a superfood that is rich in antioxidants that aid in sloughing off dead skin cells, and lipohydroxy acid (LHA) which exfoliates the outer layer of the skin and is less irritating than AHA.
5. Watermide Moisture Pad
Bring the moisture back to parched, dehydrated skin by loading up on this variant. If you suffer from dry skin or you're staying in a place with a cool climate, you'll enjoy using these toner pads that are infused with Icelandic glacial water and botanical extracts that serve to moisturize, cool down, and de-puff stressed skin.
6. Collagen Ampoule Pad
Slow down signs of aging by loading up on these collagen-infused toner pads. Its formula is loaded with collagen, ceramide, and milk protein that nourishes and tightens sagging skin and decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
7. Retinol Collagen Lifting Pad
Retinol is one of those skincare ingredients that people find to be too intimidating, especially on its own. If you find it to be too irritating on your skin, we recommend choosing a product that pairs it with a more soothing or moisturizing ingredient. This variant combines retinol with collagen that helps firm up sagging skin and improves the appearance of fine lines,
Who are Mediheal Toner Pads for?
This product is perfect for the girlies who find themselves too tired to do their full skincare routine, as the toner pads can tone and moisturize your face (and also exfoliate it, depending on the variant you choose). This is also the perfect prep step if your skin tends to have dry patches that peek through your makeup. It promises to hydrate TF out of your skin, which will let your complexion products lay onto your skin better.
How much are the Mediheal Toner pads and where can I buy them?
All the variants cost P990 per box.
Thankfully, you don't have to fly all the way to South Korea—or bug your relatives for pasalubong—for your fix of these Internet-famous toner pads. They're currently available on Mediheal's official Shopee store. Pro tip: Make sure to wait for double-digit and payday sales because their price gets slashed, so hello more savings! *wink*
