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.
