SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad 60P Set (+30P)

The Gist

The SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad 60P Set (+30P) is a saturated cotton pad designed for gentle daily hydration and soothing. The hallmark is its plush, thick construction—soft enough to avoid tugging or irritation, and generously soaked with essence so you get full skin contact without vigorous wiping. The experience is more of a hydrating compress than an exfoliating wipe.

What Korean reviewers say

Olive Young Global shoppers rate this 4.8/5 across 356 reviews, signaling strong baseline approval. Users consistently highlight the pad’s soft texture and ample essence saturation as standout features, with many reporting calming effects on redness and improved hydration for dry or reactive skin. The consensus caution is clear: reviewers with oily or acne-prone skin report the product felt too occlusive and triggered breakouts, making it a poor fit for that demographic. Some note minor pilling when pads are split in half (a cost-cutting habit among users) and a slight greasy finish that does not suit all complexions.

Bottom line

At $24.20 for 90 pads, this is affordable per-use and worth trying if you have dehydrated or sensitive skin and apply it as a hydrating step rather than an exfoliating one. Avoid it if your skin is oily or breakout-prone, or if you expect a non-greasy finish.
