Skincare brand Glow Recipe has introduced a new line of Toner Pads, designed to deliver treatment-level results through a quick and effortless routine inspired by Korean skincare techniques. The new collection transforms the traditional toner step into a five-minute at-home facial, combining convenience with clinically tested formulas.
The launch taps into the rising popularity of toner pads in K-beauty, a skincare format gaining traction globally for its ability to deliver targeted treatment in a simple, pre-soaked pad.
A Korean Facial in a Pad
Inspired by the Korean skincare philosophy of gentle layering and deep hydration, Glow Recipe’s toner pads are made from ultra-thin cellulose material that contours closely to the skin, allowing for better absorption of active ingredients.
Each pad comes pre-saturated with treatment formulas and can be used individually as a quick toner step or layered across different areas of the face as a multi-mask treatment, depending on skin concerns.
The collection features three clinically tested formulas, each targeting specific skincare needs.
LHA + AHA Exfoliating Toner Pads
Designed to refine skin texture and unclog pores, these pads feature a multi-acid exfoliating complex combining AHA, BHA, PHA, and LHA to work on both the skin’s surface and within pores.
Additional ingredients include watermelon enzyme complex for gentle enzymatic exfoliation, along with glacial water, centella, and aloe to soothe and hydrate the skin.
Clinical result:
- 100% of participants showed a reduction in pore size after just five minutes.
Vitamin C Brightening Toner Pads
Formulated with five types of vitamin C and glutathione, this brightening formula helps reduce hyperpigmentation while protecting the skin against oxidative stress.
The pads also include caffeine and niacinamide to improve overall brightness and skin tone, while guava extract enhances absorption of the active ingredients.
Clinical result:
- 94% of users experienced a significant reduction in dark spots after three weeks.
PDRN+ Repair + Soothe Toner Pads
The third formula focuses on skin barrier repair and calming sensitivity. It features vegan PDRN+, a regenerative complex derived from prickly pear and rice.
The formula is complemented by centella and panthenol to soothe irritation, as well as adenosine, glycerin, and beta-glucan for restorative hydration.
Clinical result:
- Skin barrier strength improved by 49% in just five minutes.
Why Toner Pads Are Trending
Toner pads are quickly becoming one of the most popular skincare formats due to their speed, convenience, and versatility.
Often described as the “five-minute facial,” the pads offer a faster alternative to sheet masks while delivering concentrated skincare benefits. They also support the growing trend of multi-masking, where different pads can be placed on various areas of the face to treat multiple concerns simultaneously.
With its latest launch, Glow Recipe aims to make this K-beauty ritual more accessible for everyday routines, allowing users to enjoy targeted treatments without adding extra steps to their skincare regimen.
Availability
The Glow Recipe Toner Pads are now available in-store and online at Sephora Singapore, priced at SGD 48 for a pack of 60 pads.
