[PINGU Edition] Cell Fusion C Post alpha Cooling Pad 70P Refill Set (+Magnet)

The Gist

The [PINGU Edition] Cell Fusion C Post alpha Cooling Pad 70P Refill Set (+Magnet) is designed to provide immediate skin cooling and soothing. It features soft, 3-layer pads saturated with an essence that the brand states is both moisturizing and cooling. Users typically apply these pads as a targeted mask to specific areas of the face rather than for wiping. The set includes a magnet, presumably for convenient storage.

How Korean shoppers rate it

Olive Young Global shoppers give this product a strong 4.7/5 rating across 13 reviews, praising its immediate and often lasting cooling effect. Many report it quickly reduces skin temperature and redness, creating a smoother base for makeup without needing refrigeration. The pads are noted for being thin, well-saturated, and adhering well, with hygienic tweezers included. However, a significant caveat exists: while some appreciate the cooling without a menthol-like sting, others with sensitive skin experienced an uncomfortable “chemical cooling” sensation, leading to irritation or breakouts. Some reviewers questioned the pads’ ability to genuinely lower overall skin temperature long-term, noting the effect could be temporary for intensely hot skin. The consensus is it excels at targeted cooling and light hydration, but not for broader concerns like brightening or pore refinement.

Bottom line

Priced at $29.14 on Olive Young Global, many consumers feel the regular price is high, making it more attractive when discounted. These pads suit oily, combination, or easily flushed/reddened skin, especially during warmer months, after exercise, or as a pre-makeup step to help prevent caking. Sensitive skin users should proceed with caution due to reported “chemical cooling” sensations and potential irritation. It offers targeted relief for heat and redness, providing light hydration, but is not a solution for deeper skin concerns.
