I bought the MEDIHEAL Tea Tree Toner Pad out of desperation, honestly. I was dealing with mild breakouts, red spots from heat and stress, and just overall angry skin. I’d tried calming gels, spot patches, even stripped back my routine — nothing was helping much. So I picked this up thinking, “Okay, one more try.”

And honestly? I’m so glad I did.

First off, the pads are generously soaked but not dripping. You get enough essence to swipe your face comfortably, and the texture is soft, with just enough weave to feel like it’s actually doing something — without irritating my already sensitive skin.

After just a few days of use (morning and night after cleansing), I noticed a clear difference

• The redness on my cheeks and chin calmed down

• My forehead breakouts started healing faster

• My skin felt less hot and reactive, especially at night

I had used other toner pads before — collagen, vitamin, hyaluronic, you name it — and honestly, they all felt like “just moisture.” Nice, but not game-changers. 

I kind of assumed this would be the same, just a soothing layer. But this? This is the first time a pad actually helped my acne-prone skin visibly improve.

It doesn’t sting, even on sensitive days. It’s not overly fragrant. And it doesn’t leave a sticky film behind, which I hate in a lot of “soothing” products.

Is it magic? No. But if you’re like me — combo skin, redness-prone, stress breakouts — this could be a game changer in your calming routine. It’s a toner pad that actually works, not just one that smells nice.
