- Humectants (glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.15% - 0.65%, glycerin 4.10% - 6.20% and erythritol 1.40% - 2.20%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
A toning pad enriched with Jeju Houttuynia Cordata extract, moisturizes and soothes skin in 10 seconds to restore its condition.
Source: Yesstyle
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": erythritol, glycerin.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
Gently exfoliate to smoothen skin texture.
Source: Yesstyle
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
