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).

Details

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.

  • Exfoliation for the exfoliation-averse — LHA, PHA and willow bark are the mild end of the acid spectrum; 'no irritation' (287) ties 'calming' (287) at the top of its reviews.
  • Seven cicas, delivered small — the brand's 'Cicasome' liposome (brand-stated 163nm) carries the centella complex where a splash of toner can't.
  • Soaked, not stingy — 'plenty of essence' (123) and 'hydrating' (259) follow close behind; wipe, then press the pad on rough zones.
  • A quiet sheet — fragrance-free, zero Hwahae allergen flags, zero high-risk entries; stinging reported at 1.6%.

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.

What we think

In favour

The mild-acid trio

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.

In favour

Seven cicas, delivered small

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.

In favour

An award where it counts

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.

Heads up

A wipe, not a mask

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.

Heads up

Mind the lid

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.

Olive Young best-sellers Korea

Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Toner Pad

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

9.5
numbuzin No.5 Vitamin-Niacinamide Toner Pad

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.

8.9

Amazon best-sellers US

Mediheal Madecassoside Blemish Pad

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

9.5
Anua Heartleaf 77 Toner Pad

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.

9.5
Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0 (Clarify-to-Glow Set)

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.

Questions

What does 'Cicasome' mean?

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.

How is it different from strong exfoliating pads?

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.

Can I use it every day?

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.

Which side does what?

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.

How does it pair with the Reve:am Water-Fit pad you stock?

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.
