Originally a staple of Korean skin-care (the source of many of our favorite beauty trends), these toning pads have become popular stateside in recent years for their versatile use—many people use them as spot treatments or all-over sheet masks—and potent yet soothing formulations, which tend to suit a wide range of skin types.

Best Overall: Mediheal Madecassoside Blemish Pads

Why we love it: Rather than douse your face in intensive active ingredients, the Mediheal Madecassoside Blemish Pads target acne with madecassoside, a soothing derivative of Centella asiatica (also known as cica) extract, alongside the latter for double the anti-inflammatory benefits. Each saturated gauze minimizes the swelling and redness associated with pimples without over-stripping or irritating skin.

Tester feedback: “I’ve been dealing with a few pimples (okay, and a bit of post-popping inflammation—I never said I was perfect!) on my face, and Mediheal’s Madecassoside Blemish Pads has tremendously improved the look of them,” says commerce writer Jennifer Hussein. “I like to swipe one pad across all of my problem areas (as of right now, they’re my forehead and chin) to give my little zits a dose of calming, redness-reducing cica extract.”

Key ingredients: madecassoside, Centella asiatica extract, glycerin 

Fragrance-free: yes
