The Unicharm Cotton Pad is made from uruuru cotton so you can gently care for your skin without wasting a drop of toner again. Unlike most cotton pads, it doesn’t absorb up all of your toner, meaning you will have more product to apply onto your skin.

How To Use -  2 Ways

    • Apply toner directly to the cotton pad and apply to your face in a gentle patting method (the advice for patting is to apply lotion over and over). 

 

  • Separate one pad into two sheets, pour your preferred toner and place them onto your skin for 5-10 minutes, or however long you want.
