What it is

Pre-soaked soothing pads formulated with centella actives and humectants to comfort stressed or blemish-prone skin while delivering light hydration.

Who it's for

  • Blemish-prone or redness-prone skin needing calming hydration.
  • Oily/combination skin seeking a light, non-sticky toner step.
  • Those wanting an easy pad format to prep skin before treatments.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Madecassoside and Centella-derived ingredients — soothe and comfort the look of irritation.
  • Hyaluronic Acid/Glycerin — humectants to attract and hold moisture.
  • Panthenol — supports hydration and skin comfort.
  • Peptides/Collagen (if included) — cosmetic support for a plump, smooth look.

Free-from / texture

  • Essence-soaked pads with a light, non-sticky finish.
  • Generally low fragrance; review INCI for sensitivities.
  • Leaves skin fresh and prepped without heavy film.

How to use & order

  • After cleansing, swipe pad gently across face and neck; avoid eyes.
  • Do not rinse. Follow with serum and moisturizer.
  • Use daily or as needed; apply sunscreen in the morning.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Compatible with most routines; if using strong acids/retinoids, keep other steps gentle.
  • Allow essence to absorb before applying occlusive creams to avoid pilling.
  • Patch test if highly reactive or post-procedure.

Evidence & notes

  • Madecassoside and centella are cosmetic soothing ingredients; claims are cosmetic in nature.
  • Humectants draw water; sealing with moisturizer helps retain hydration.
  • Soothing agents can reduce the feel of tightness after cleansing.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Keep out of eyes; rinse if contact occurs.
  • Do not use on broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; consult your physician for personal guidance.
