What the gurus are saying

Opinions split on the pad format. Some gurus think the pads are absolutely beautiful and say they simply love them. However, others find pads restrictive, since each pack holds only so many, and they would rather have the toner in a bottle so they can use as much as they want. That means anyone who values that freedom may want to weigh it before buying.

"It looks a bit dehydrated. It's looking a bit dull. There's a toner pad for everything, and you just rest them on your face like they're a face mask. Go about doing something else, do your hair, do whatever, and then just take them off and tap that toner into the skin, or the essence, and whatever's left on your skin. It's like a skin care cheat code for makeup. I think they are absolutely beautiful. I love that."

"These are $30. I typically don't love toner pads, though, because you're very restricted in how many come in there. I think it's 30, so it's about a dollar a toner pad, or 75 cents a toner pad. Whereas if you get it just in a bottle, you can use it however you want, if you want a lot on one day or just a little bit. So I kind of like that. This one uses two types of vegan PDRNs, from white rice and prickly pear. Prickly pear is a great ingredient for skin care."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
