Whenever we talk about toner pads to moisturize skin it’s impossible not to think of Korean skincare, and for good reason. Korean skincare is always ahead of the game, whether it’s their toner pads, or stinging microneedling serum in a bottle, or their dreamy overnight collagen mask (seriously, obsessed).
Toner pads have been a staple in skincare for a while now. The first toner pads I used were from Anua, their exfoliating version, and after using them consistently for a month (twice a week), my skin felt smooth over time. On the nights I used them, my cheeks would literally glow the next morning, which got me hooked on toner pads. The results are quite instant and amazing.
Toner pads are cotton fabric discs pre-soaked in a liquid formula to either tone, hydrate or exfoliate the skin. They’re not just convenient but they have a role in our skin care routines. There are different types too, exfoliating (astringent) pads and hydrating, moisturizing (balancing) ones.
In this article, we’re focusing on hydrating and moisturizing toner pads. So, read through to find your favorite (they’re all pretty amazing) or skip ahead to whatever catches your eye.

Mediheal watermide Moisture Pads
This one is TikTok viral and the talk of the day. It gives an instant boost of deep hydration to dry and fatigued skin. The hero ingredients in this powerhouse tub are botanical extracts and Icelandic glacier water. Icelandic glacial water is a luxe ingredient, prized for its ability to hydrate and balance. The advanced liposome delivery system of Mediheal watermide makes sure that all that skin-loving moisture sinks in deeper and lasts longer. They can be used day and night and come in a cool purple tub. The consistency is Dermal Gel jelly-like for better adherence and absorption on the skin.
Mixsoon Bean Toner Pads
Looking for some anti-aging benefits along with a daily hydration boost? You will love this one, and soon it will become a must-have in your skin care routine. Mixsoon is loved for its bean extract amino acid-rich formulas that provide gentle exfoliation and hydration. Mixsoon Bean Toner Pads are the same. Along with 7 types of bean extracts to improve skin elasticity and firmness, they are further loaded with hyaluronic acid and allantoin to moisturize and hydrate all at once. You will love the convenience of these pads, they can be easily split to target areas such as nose, chin. Any TLC skin nerd out there will know the luxury of having this option.
Sisua Tasmanian Pepper Calming 2-Piece Pads
I bet the word “pepper” got you a little confused but worry not, it doesn’t sting. Tasmanian Pepper works wonders to calm and soothe irritated skin. The reason it made the list is that these toner pads have rave reviews about how well they hydrate the skin along with their core benefits mentioned earlier. This can be attributed to the fact that the formula is infused with water-based essence that gives the skin a dewy, hydrated glow. You will gravitate more towards these pads if you are dealing with skin redness and rosacea flare-ups and are looking for something to not only calm but also hydrate.
Peach & Lilly Lazy Day All-In-One Moisture Pads
Lazy Tub comes with 60 pads in a sleek, no-fuss minimalistic package, designed to tone, hydrate and moisturize in a single swipe, living up to its name. It’s packed with hyaluronic acid for hydration, ceramides to lock in moisture, and antioxidant-rich extracts to fight off environmental stress. If you are someone who doesn’t have loads of time on your hands, or if you travel a lot and want to pack light, this one is for you. I personally love Peach and Lily for their clean beauty approach. If that aligns with your ethics, consider it an added bonus.
Keenoniks Azulene Moisture Toner Pads
Keenoniks hydrating sheet masks are a total lifesaver for dry, dehydrated skin. These triple-layered, juicy pads are packed with a generous amount of toner, giving your skin that much-needed hydration boost. They’re surprisingly lightweight, though, so they still feel thin and adhere to your skin firmly. Chamomile extract helps soothe and strengthen the skin barrier, which makes them great for calming flushed skin. The only downside is that the pads need to be torn to fit smaller areas, which can be a bit unhygienic.
Biodance Cera-nol Gel Toner Pads
Biodance Gel pads have a soft jelly-like coating of the essence that keeps the fabric from directly touching your skin, helping to minimize any potential skin irritation. When you use them, it’s the essence that touches your skin, not the fabric itself. They’re infused with glacial water, D-Panthenol, and hyaluronic acid for instant cooling and deep hydration, while ceramides strengthen the barrier, making them a good option for anyone with a damaged skin barrier. You can even use them as an alternative to a sheet mask. Just a heads-up – they’re a bit slippery because of the gel texture, so be careful while picking one. I’d recommend these for rosacea-prone or damaged skin.
I’m from Rice Toner Pads
Rice water has been a staple in Asian culture for ages. If you’re a K-beauty fan, you know how much Koreans love using rice water products. Their bright, glowing skin can be partly credited to this miracle ingredient. I’m from rice toner pad has the same formula as their toner but with the added convenience of pads. Infused with premium rice water and niacinamide, these pads will hydrate and reduce hyperpigmentation. If you are dealing with post-acne scars and want that k-glow, you’ll love these pads.
Real barrier extreme panthenol toner pads
These are made from 100% cotton fabric to avoid skin irritation. They offer a mild exfoliating effect while also strengthening your skin barrier, and the panthenol (pro vitamin B5) hydrates your skin from the inside out. After cleansing, these pads gently sweep away any leftover residue. Added bonus! They’re lifting pads so you’ll get a temporary jaw-lifting effect, which is more of a marketing gimmick (but hey, a little lift doesn’t hurt, right?) P.S. That’s not the main purpose of these pads anyway. If you’re working out and worried about sweat clogging your pores, just grab one of these and swipe it across your skin to clear away dirt and enjoy some extra hydration while you are at it.
Torriden Dive-in Toner pads
Torriden Dive In is always part of the conversation when it comes to hydrating and moisturizing your skin. Packed with their signature 5D hyaluronic acid complex for deeper and more effective absorption, along with soothing ingredients like allantoin and panthenol, these pads are a go-to for hydrated skin. The pads are eco-friendly and super easy to tear apart, which is a game-changer for anyone who is conscious about their carbon footprint.
