If your skin is easily irritated, overheated, or just begging for a break, the SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad might be the skincare saviour you didn’t know you needed. At Rhema Beauty Shop, we’re all about products that go beyond the hype—so we put this K-beauty calming pad to the test.
In this SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad review, we’ll walk you through what it is, how it works, and who it’s best for.
What Is the SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad?
This calming water pad is infused with Carrot Extract and Carrot Seed Oil, both rich in beta-carotene and antioxidants. It’s designed to:
- Moisturize dry or sensitive skin
- Soothe redness and inflammation
- Cool overheated skin
- Strengthen the skin barrier
Each pad is thick and soft with a waffle-texture cotton design to minimise friction and help glide smoothly across the skin.
Key Ingredients Breakdown
1. Carrot Extract & Carrot Seed Oil
Loaded with beta-carotene (a precursor to Vitamin A), these ingredients help calm, nourish, and protect sensitive or irritated skin.
2. Beta-Glucan & Sodium Hyaluronate
Hydrating agents that deeply moisturize while boosting skin resilience.
3. Allantoin & Undaria Pinnatifida Extract
Soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that help with redness, irritation, and post-acne flare-ups.
Texture, Feel & Usage
The SKINFOOD pads are pre-soaked in a watery, non-sticky essence. They feel instantly cooling on the skin and don’t leave behind any greasy film.
How to use it:
- Apply pads to irritated or heated areas (like cheeks or forehead) and leave on for 5–10 minutes.
- Then swipe gently across your face (avoiding the eye area).
- Pat any remaining essence into the skin.
What We Noticed After a Week of Use
We used the water pads daily after cleansing, especially at night. Here’s how they performed:
- Immediate soothing: Redness visibly reduced within minutes of application.
- Hydration boost: Skin felt more plump and soft without feeling weighed down.
- Calmer mornings: Great for calming down post-sun or post-shave sensitivity.
- No breakouts: Gentle enough for acne-prone skin.
The calming effect is real—especially helpful during Lagos heat or if your skin barrier is compromised.
