What the gurus are saying

This pad leans sticky and serum-like rather than traditional toner texture, so those who use it tend to tap it in rather than swipe. Gurus split on whether it earns a spot in a routine: one appreciates the brightening ingredients, while another finds it performs better in summer but would choose a different toner pad overall if picking just one.

"Especially if you're oily combo and living in tropical weather, you'll hate this. [...] It's so sticky. I don't really hate sticky products, because some of the sticky tacky feeling works well when you do makeup, it works like a glue, like a primer. But it's like a first step of skincare, and I'm not ready to be sticky. [...] The pad itself is so thin, so whenever I take it out it always comes with at least two, and it dries out as time goes by, so that's a minus."

"The Medicube PDRN Toner Pad feels a bit sticky, and it doesn't really feel like a toner pad, it feels more like a serum pad, so I make sure to tap it in. It works better than the other pad in summer, but if I had to pick just one of the two toner pads, I'd go with the other one over this."

"There's also one by Metacube that I really like that has some brightening ingredients in it."

What the evidence says.

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

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.
