How this pick earned its score
Every ingredient is graded on an EWG-style scale, then weighted with our own use-experience and curation read into one Dhaliora score.
The category's best sellers below are scored with the same formula.

A value pack of 80 essence-soaked gel sheets that hydrate and cool with sea grape and a 4-weight hyaluronic complex, a #1-ranked pore partial mask.

Why ours wins — A dry cotton pad you soak with your own toner, versatile but an empty carrier, where ours arrives pre-soaked in a sea-grape hyaluronic essence.

Why ours wins — A well-made dry cotton pad for pressing toner, but again a blank pad, while our sheets come loaded with marine and HA hydration.

Why ours wins — Compressed dry cotton masks you expand in toner, a fun DIY format, but less convenient than our ready-to-use pre-soaked gel sheets.

Why ours wins — A pre-loaded hydrogel patch with retinol or vitamin C actives, a richer targeted patch, where our sheets focus on gentle daily marine hydration.

Why ours wins — Care Plus is a targeted hydrocolloid patch with salicylic acid and tea tree; ours is a full-face soothing pack delivering broader botanical care.

Why ours wins — Anua's pad wipes on heartleaf essence with a mild acid; ours is a leave-on skin pack that layers soothing actives without any exfoliating step.

What this formula actually does
Built around sea grape (caulerpa) + 4-weight hyaluronic acid and screened ingredient by ingredient — here is what earns its place.
Sea-grape marine hydration
Caulerpa sea grape and Codium seaweed with a four-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid complex for layered moisture.
80 ready-to-use gel sheets
Pre-soaked ultra-slim pads that cling to cheeks and nose, no separate toner needed, at great value.

Our take
Most cheap sheet packs are fragranced and one-note. This one is fragrance-free, pre-soaked in a sea-grape and 4-weight hyaluronic essence, and ranked #1 in Hwahae's pore partial-mask category for a reason: cheeks-and-nose adhesion, cooling and real moisture. Best for anyone wanting an easy daily hydration boost or a cooling partial mask; it is not a deep pore treatment, and it should come off before it dries. At 80 sheets it is exceptional value, which is why it earns its spot.
Worth knowing
- Light on deep pore workIt is a hydration and cooling sheet, so pore results are modest despite the pore-category ranking.
- Dries out if left onThe thin sheet can harden if left too long, so it should be removed before it dries.
A hydrating sea-grape spot pack for gentle pore care.
Across 106 Hwahae reviews the strongest signal is hydrating, soothing targeted care that adheres well and cools the pore area comfortably.
