Troubless Clear Toner Pad for Face | Gentle Peeling & Facial Soothing Toner with Tea Tree, 60 pads (5.57 oz)

This pads are perfect for my end of the day routine. I use them after my double cleansing, before any serums and moisturizers. They keep my skin breakout free!

TLDR: Excellent all in one exfoliant, pore tightening, soothing, and moisturizing pads. Note that they contain glycolic acid and tee tree oil, which might bother some skin types.Given the lack of testing requirements for cosmetics, and the often unsubstantiated claims for efficacy, I typically evaluate them based primarily on the ingredients, and secondly on cost. There are simply too many individual variables to determine how it’ll work on each person.I checked each of the ingredients (see below) on the Environmental Working Group website. They use science-based reviews of products and ingredients to determine risk for Cancer, Allergies & Immunotoxicity, Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity, and Use Restrictions. Check out their exceptionally useful site for detailed information on food and cosmetic ingredients. I also did additional searches for those ingredients where information was limited (I’m looking at you Kudzu Root Extract).Each ingredient is rated from 1 (best) to 10 (worst). The best products won’t contain any non-organic ingredients with scores above 2.Here’s a comprehensive list, sorted by use:Moisturizers:Dipropylene Glycol (1-2)Butylene Glycol (1)Methylpropanediol (1)Betaine (1)Ethylhexylglycerin (2)Glycerine (1-2)Sodium hyaluronate (1)Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract (?)

So I’ll use these pads every few days. YMMV so decide what routine works best for you.Cost is less than $0.50 per pad, which seems a bit steep, but given that this won’t be a daily use item for me, I consider this reasonable. BTW there is a ton of spare solution in the jar, so it won’t dry out too quickly.Overall this is a wonderful product. It has a long ingredient list, but they all score well. There is also scientific evidence behind the benefits of each (still trying to figure out Kudzu root). If you can tolerate Tea Tree oil and glycolic acid you’ll likely love these all in one pads.

Overall I liked the product.The scent to me mostly comes off as tea tree mixed with a slightly medicinal scent. It's not super strong and doesn't bother me.The pads are very saturated in the serum.I've used these only a couple of times now. Some of the times, I felt it left my skin slightly sticky to the touch like it didn't fully absorb. But other times I didnt notice this. I'm not sure if it has to do with products I used before using this (I have just used an exfoliating scrub followed by a facial cleanser, but I do use a different cleanser depending what I want/need out of it, so perhaps the different cleanser effects how this product absorbs?). Either way, for this reason I will probably stick to keeping it with my night time skin care routine products.The first couple times I didn't use anything after this product. I did feel the produt did a pretty good job of moisturizing. I will probably chose to use a moisturizer after this product in the future, but it's good to know if I'm in a rush or feeling lazy that I would probably be okay without it. I also felt it's toning capabilities were good.

This is a great toner in a convenient presoaked pads. It has a moderate witch hazel scent. The plastic jar is big! There's a lot of toner liquid inside too so this won't dry out anytime soon. The pads are pretty good too. Its has some thickness so it won't rip and is gentle on the skin. The embossed side is good for exfoliating your skin a bit and helps to really get any remaining cleansers. It leaves my skin feeling clean and hydrated too!I can't say it helps with my acne since I still get them after using this, but I really like the clean feeling it leaves my skin. There's 60 pads in the jar so if you use this twice a day its should last you a month which is a short time. While this makes applying toner faster it is a bit more costly since toner without pads can last you a longer time at the same price. I do highly recommend it if you're looking for presoaked toner pads!

I am familiar with exfoliating pads, though Troubless is the first k-beauty brand of exfoliating pads I've tried. I thought the material of the cotton pads were so incredibly soft; despite the embossed pattern on one side, it felt like a very soft cotton pad caressing my cheek. The Troubless pads are also noticeably thicker and more saturated than brands I've used in the past (including First Aid Beauty, Skinfix, and SkinPharma) and actually has a ton of essence at the bottom of the jar to keep the pads as moist and soaked as possible. As for the exfoliating power, it actually is quite gentle. I normally feel a little tingling sensation after I wipe a pad over my face but these felt really hydrating above all else. Overall, I would definitely recommend these exfoliating pads to someone with combination/acne-prone skin. I've been using these pads daily for the past week and my skin does feel noticeably more plump and hydrated, which is the first step in tackling acneic skin.

These toner pads work well. They are about the size of a cotton pad, they are very well soaked in the toner solution. The jar is very well sealed to keep them wet. The toner makes my skin feel moisturized and tight. It smells like tea tree oil but the scent isn't that strong. I prefer using toner pad over regular toner because they are more convenient since I don't have to soak the toner in a pad. They are a bit pricier than regular toner but the convenience is worth it.
