DERMATORY Pads

DERMATORY pads are pre-saturated toning sheets that deliver active ingredients directly to the skin without extra tools. Each pad is textured on one or both sides to support gentle exfoliation, ingredient absorption, or both.

The brand segments its pad range by skin concern: gauze pads for sensitive and post-procedure skin, pore pads for congested skin, and barrier pads for dehydrated or compromised skin types. This segmentation makes it straightforward to choose the right product without trial and error.

The Sika Gauze Pad series is DERMATORY's best-known pad line. Formulated with Centella Asiatica (cica) extract, these pads calm redness, support wound healing, and help rebuild the skin barrier. The gauze texture is softer than standard cotton pads, making it particularly suitable for post-treatment or highly reactive skin.

Multiple sizes and sheet counts are available, from 50-sheet to 60-sheet options, so you can match your preferred repurchase cadence. The pads can be used as a standard toner application, a compress for localized inflammation, or a layering step before sheet masking.

For oily and acne-prone skin, DERMATORY offers the Pro Trouble Pore Clear Pad and the Salicylic Pore Trouble Melting Pad. Both use BHA chemistry to dissolve sebum inside the pore, reducing blackheads and surface congestion over consistent use.

The Pore Clear Pad comes in a 70-sheet count, supporting daily or twice-daily use across an extended period. The textured side of the pad lifts dead skin cells, while the smooth side seals in the active without stripping moisture. These pads work best after cleansing and before any hydrating serum or moisturizer.

The Hyalshot Barrier Pads (70 sheets) target moisture loss through a dual-action approach: hyaluronic acid fills the top layers of skin while barrier-supporting lipids reduce transepidermal water loss. These pads are ideal for skin that feels tight, flaky, or sensitive to environmental changes.

Unlike exfoliating pads, barrier pads are gentle enough for daily use even on compromised skin. They function as a hydrating toning step and can be used morning and evening as part of a simplified routine.

DERMATORY's rotating elastic ampoule pads (80 sheets) bring a more advanced mechanic to the pad category. The rotating application technique improves product absorption by gently massaging the skin as you work the pad across your face.

These pads are soaked in an ampoule-level concentration of actives, positioning them closer to a treatment than a toning step. Use them as a targeted step in an evening routine where maximum absorption is the priority.

The quickest filter is skin concern. Sensitive or post-procedure skin benefits most from the Sika Gauze series. Oily or congested skin responds well to the BHA-based pore pads. Dry or barrier-compromised skin is best served by the Hyalshot Barrier Pads.

If you are new to pads, start with the hypoallergenic gauze pads and use them as a straight toner swap. Once your skin has adjusted, you can layer a more targeted pad (pore-clearing or ampoule) into your routine for a specific concern. Avoid mixing multiple active-heavy pads in the same routine until you know your tolerance.

Apply pads after cleansing on dry or slightly damp skin. Start with the textured side when exfoliation is intended, then flip to the smooth side to pat remaining essence into the skin. For gauze and barrier pads, the smooth side can be used throughout for a purely toning application.

Sheet count tells you the approximate duration of one pack at your use frequency. A 70-sheet pack used once daily lasts about two months. If you use pads morning and evening, factor that into your repurchase planning. Always close the packaging tightly after each use to prevent the pads from drying out.

DERMATORY is a Korean brand built around the concept of skin compatibility. All formulations are developed with dermatological input and tested for hypoallergenic suitability, making the brand a reliable choice for those who have struggled with reactions to mainstream skincare.

The brand focuses on clinical efficacy without unnecessary fragrance, colorants, or irritants. This philosophy runs across their entire product range, from pads to essences to sunscreens, and is a large part of why DERMATORY has earned consistent trust among sensitive-skin shoppers in South Korea and internationally.

Keep DERMATORY pads at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and humidity. The sealed packaging maintains the active concentration for the full stated shelf life, but once opened, the pads should be used within the period recommended on the packaging, typically within six months.

Do not store opened pads in a bathroom where steam and temperature fluctuation can degrade the solution. A bedroom shelf or vanity drawer provides a more stable environment for maintaining product quality through to the last sheet.
