I have enlarged pores on my face, and it has been bothering me for quite a while now.
What is the cause? One of the factors is genetic, and I have a family member with large pores. So, that’s why I have it.
I also know the hard truth that you can’t totally get rid of enlarged pores permanently, but there is a way to minimise their appearance to make them look smaller.
That’s why I decided to put the Needly Daily Toner Pad to the test. Needly claims that this popular pad in Korea can help with pore tightening. So let’s see if the Needly toner pad is worth the hype.

There are a few ways to minimise pores, such as using a sheet mask weekly or exfoliating and moisturising daily.
But the basic concept is that you need to get rid of all of the gunk in your pores. Then you can effectively shrink your pores with the right treatments as nothing is blocking your pores. One of the best ways to do this is to exfoliate.
You can opt for chemical exfoliates with ingredients like Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) or Beta Hydroxy acids (BHA) for exfoliation.
“AHAs and BHAs dissolve the connections between your cells and the surface of your skin to essentially ‘unclog’ pores,” said director of cosmetic and clinical research at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, Joshua Zeichner, in a Marie Claire article.
BHA is usually referred to as salicylic acid. Although it’s similar to AHA, BHA penetrates more deeply within our skin. It can help remove dead skin cells and blackheads (sebum) and shrink your pores.
Needly Daily Toner Pad is formulated with natural tea tree extract and BHA and Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) to safely and effectively exfoliate and reveal a smoother, brighter skin tone. It also effectively enhances the natural glow and maintains your skin’s natural pH level.4
The main ingredients of Needly Daily Toner Pad are:
Since the toner pad is mild enough to use daily, it suits oily, dry, and normal skin types with skin concerns like acne-prone and sensitive skin.
My first impression of the toner pad is the amount of essence in the container—the pad is thoroughly soaked with the essences, so it never dries out.
When I started using the Needly toner pad, I could feel my skin was congested. So, I used the toner pad every day and every night, wiping it on my face after cleansing. I then continued with my normal skincare routine—serum, moisturiser and sunscreen (if it was daytime).

Since the toner pad can also be used as a facial mask, I noticed I could still squeeze the essences out after using it as a mask for 15 minutes and wiped my neck, hands, elbow and kneecap. Like Needly claimed—the pad won’t dry out until the last piece.
Another best part about the pad is the size. Needly toner pad size is a radius of 80mm, larger than the average pad size in the market, around 60mm. It fits nicely on my cheek, so all I need is two toner pads and then cut into half for my forehead.
I also find the pad itself is soft no matter what side it is—embossed or soft side.
Here are my before and after photos taken after one application, and as you can see, it improves my pore size by a one-time application.
Aside from the before and after photos, my skin feels very chok chok. It’s super moisturising because of Hyaluronic Acid, and it gives me plumpy skin after I finish wiping my whole face. It feels very cooling, even though I didn’t keep it in the fridge.
It’s strange how much I find the toner pad very moisturising, even though I know it’s a mild exfoliation. It’s very gentle and doesn’t irritate the skin. Overall, my skin loves it—it’s very light, the material is soft, and it prepares my skin to absorb products better in the next step.
Would I repurchase it? Yes. I can bring this toner pad everywhere. It can unclog my pores, give hydration, and mask a facial mask. I recommend this toner pad if you have enlarged pores, and especially if you have sensitive skin or dry skin.
