Biodance Gel Toner Pads – Collagen and Cera-mol

Where I got it

Recently, I told myself I need to slow down on buying anymore skincare because I have bought so much K-beauty products lately. But when Biodance comes out with toner pads, I knew I needed to get them.

Biodance have been known internationally for their Deep Collagen mask (pink packaging), and lately their new Cera-nol mask (blue packet). I have tried the Deep Collagen mask and I was just a little underwhelmed, and have yet to try the Cera-nol version (I do have a box of it). I saw their IG post of these new gel toner pads and within a week, they are available at StyleKorean for $23 each.

What I got

This is the Biodance Cera-nol Gel Toner Pads (140g/60 pads) and Biodance Collagen Gel Toner Pads (160g/60 pads).

How I find it

Let’s get into the Cera-nol Gel Toner Pads first. Cera-nol focuses on hydration, soothing and moisturising of the skin. First of all, I could see how thick and juicy these pads are from the outside of the container. As always, these toner pads are well sealed with its own tongs to pick up each pad. The pads are thicker than usual but almost transparent when applied to the skin.

The pad has very soft texture and is super gentle on the skin. They can be a little difficult to swipe over the skin because the pads are quite slippery. You can either just swipe over the face and discard, or you can use a couple of pads and leave it on the skin for a few minutes as a mask. Skin is immediately hydrated and soothed for your next skincare product.

The Collagen Gel Toner Pads are just the same, but contains ingredients more for collagen production and plumping the skin. The pads are visibly identical to the Cera-nol gel toner pads and they feel the same on the skin. Honestly, I do not feel a difference on my skin from using these toner pads. They are both very hydrating and soothing. It is sooo good during summer and I wash my face in the early afternoon. My skin drinks up the hydration.

Overall

Like I said, I was unable to tell apart the Cera-nol and Collagen version, but I also cannot tell the difference between the two on my skin. They are both hydrating on the skin, and they are both soothing. I have now used at least half a tub of each of the toner pads and I am again, a little underwhelmed. I think these toner pads are super hydrating and soothing to the skin, and that’s about it. You could use a skincare device, like the Age-R pro over this to enhance the absorbing of the ingredients, but it does move around as you glide the device across your face.
