Flake care, without the fight.
Flake care for skin that hates exfoliating: seven centella forms in a liposome shuttle plus the three gentlest acids in skincare — LHA, PHA and willow bark — fragrance-free, with 35 of 37 ingredients grading low-risk (the two mids: a solvent and a preservative booster).
The flake-care pad for skin that hates exfoliating: seven centella forms in a liposome shuttle, three of the gentlest acids in skincare — and no fragrance. 35 of its 37 ingredients grade low-risk in our screen.
Reve:am's Cicasome pad splits the job most pads fumble: the embossed side lifts rough, flaky texture with a whisper-dose acid trio — capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA), gluconolactone (PHA) and willow bark — while the soaked pad floods the fresh surface with seven cica compounds (centella extract, leaf, root, asiaticoside, asiatic acid, madecassoside, madecassic acid), heartleaf, niacinamide and a three-form hyaluronic base. Hwahae reviewers rate it 4.65 across 1,091 reviews, rank it #2 among exfoliating toner pads, and its shelf tag is earned: 2025 first-half Hwahae ranking award, exfoliating pad #1.
Hero ingredients: Cica ×7 (Cicasome) + LHA·PHA·Willow Bark + Heartleaf & Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Acid ×3.
How to use: After cleansing, sweep the embossed side over flake-prone zones, then flip and press the soft side where skin runs hot. Use the lidded jar's paddle, close it tight — the pads dry out if you don't (34 reviewers learned the hard way). Daily-safe; alternate with strong actives rather than stacking.
Read before you buy: This is a wipe-and-press pad, not a stick-on mask — 67 reviewers wanted more facial adhesion, which is not what it's built for. Mild as the acids are, 17 of 1,091 reported stinging and 8 an allergy-like reaction: patch test 48 hours. The full ingredient list and our risk screening are on this page.
Ships from Korea, worldwide.
Capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA), gluconolactone (PHA) and willow bark sit at the gentle end of the acid spectrum — flake removal that 'no irritation' (287) reviewers tolerate daily.
Centella extract, leaf, root, asiaticoside, asiatic acid, madecassoside and madecassic acid ride the brand's 'Cicasome' liposome (brand-stated 163nm) with heartleaf and niacinamide behind them.
2025 first-half Hwahae ranking award — exfoliating pad #1 — and #2 in the live exfoliating-pad ranking today, at 4.65 across 1,091 reviews from the maker of our Water-Fit pad.
67 reviewers wanted sheet-mask adhesion; this pad is built for sweep-and-press, not wear. Our Water-Fit pad is the one you leave on.
34 reviewers found pads drying out — close the jar properly. And mild or not, acids are acids: stinging at 1.6%, allergy-like reports at 0.7%; patch test 48 hours.
Most exfoliating pads buy their results with glycolic acid and alcohol, and sensitive skin pays the bill. This one spends differently: the three mildest acids available do the loosening, and a seven-part centella complex does the settling — fragrance-free, alcohol-free, with nothing flagged. That's why its award is specifically for exfoliating pads and its tied top review topics are 'calming' and 'no irritation'. Keep expectations honest: it won't peel like a Medicube pad and it won't cling like a sheet mask. It is the Tuesday-night texture reset for skin that can't afford a fight — and at $21.99 for 80 pads, the cheapest habit in our catalog.

A pure-hydration gel pad with PDRN and collagen — lovely, but it leaves the flaky-texture job undone. Different tool.

The tone-and-glow route: vitamin C and niacinamide with a fragranced base. The Cicasome stays fragrance-free and spends its budget on calm and texture instead.

A strong centella soother — but soothing only. The Cicasome matches it on madecassoside and adds the mild acid trio for actual flake care.

The closest rival: heartleaf plus PHA in a dual-texture pad. The Cicasome runs the same heartleaf, widens the acids to three, and swaps single-extract calm for a seven-form centella complex.

The loud end of exfoliating pads: AHA/BHA with denatured alcohol. Effective, but exactly the irritation profile the Cicasome's LHA-PHA-willow trio exists to avoid.
It is the brand's name for its delivery system: seven centella (cica) compounds — the extract, leaf, root and the four isolated actives (asiaticoside, asiatic acid, madecassoside, madecassic acid) — carried in a hydrogenated-lecithin liposome the brand states at 163nm, small enough to sit close to where the soothing is needed.
It uses LHA (capryloyl salicylic acid), PHA (gluconolactone) and willow bark — the three mildest routes to exfoliation — instead of glycolic/salicylic acid with alcohol. You trade dramatic peeling for daily-tolerable flake care, which is exactly the trade sensitive skin should make.
That is its design brief — reviewers use it daily, and 'no irritation' ties for its top review topic. If you also run retinoids or strong acid toners, alternate nights rather than stacking, and patch test 48 hours first.
The embossed side sweeps away loosened flakes and residue around the nose, chin and hairline; the smooth soaked side presses essence into cheeks and anywhere that runs hot or tight.
Same maker, opposite jobs: Cicasome clears texture with mild acids; Water-Fit is the pure-hydration pad you leave on like a mini mask. Texture night, moisture night — many routines alternate the two jars.

Friction
Read the frictions as usage notes: it is a sweep-and-press pad, not a stick-on mask (67 wanted adhesion — wrong job), and the jar seal matters (34 found pads drying). On tolerance it is among the better exfoliators we have screened: stinging 1.6%, allergy-like reports 0.7%, fragrance-free, zero Hwahae allergen flags — but acids are acids, so patch test 48 hours.
