What Did I Even Use? šŸ¤”

 

Okay, listen. I really wanted to love this. I mean, everyone on TikTok is raving about it. "Centella! Green toner pads!" How could it not be perfect, right? Spoiler alert: It’s not. 😬

 

First Impressions: Cute, but... What’s the Hype?

When I first opened the package, I was super impressed by how cute and trendy everything looked. I mean, it’s Instagram gold. The packaging is adorable, and the pads are soaked in what I hoped would be magic. But that’s where the excitement kind of stopped. šŸ™„

 

Ingredients & Claims: Is This Really ""Healing""?

The whole point of these pads is to be calming and soothing, right? I read about the Centella Asiatica (which I know is supposed to help with redness and irritation) and thought, ā€œPerfect, my skin will be glowy and calm!ā€ But honestly, I didn’t feel like my skin was really ā€œhealedā€ or anything. If anything, my skin felt a little... meh after using them. The green tea extract is nice, but other than that, I’m not seeing what all the fuss is about.

 

Texture & Feel: Like Wet Paper?

Now, don’t get me wrong. The pads are soaked, but maybe too soaked? It feels like I'm rubbing my face with a wet paper towel. I was expecting something a little more refreshing, not something that leaves my skin feeling… damp and sticky. Maybe my skin’s just too picky, but I wasn’t vibing with the texture at all.

 

Performance & Results: No Miracle Here

 

Here’s the thing: After using these for a week, I didn’t see any major improvement. No glow. No calming of redness. Just my skin, doing its normal thing, like I hadn’t even used them. Honestly, I was a little disappointed. I was hoping these would be a game-changer for my sensitive skin, but nope. They’re okay, I guess, but nothing special.

 

āœ” Good for the 'Gram – The packaging is so cute, and it makes for a great aesthetic for your shelf. I’m not gonna lie, it looks great in photos.

āŒ No Dramatic Results – If you’re looking for something that’ll actually calm your redness or give you that glow, don’t hold your breath.

 

Would I Repurchase?

I wouldn’t buy this again. Maybe it’s just not for my skin, but it didn’t really live up to the hype for me. I know a lot of people swear by this, but for me? It was just another overhyped product with a pretty face.

Meh, not for me.
