What it is
Mild acid toner pads designed to sweep away impurities and excess sebum while calming and hydrating to keep pores looking refined.
Who it's for
- Oily or combination skin needing gentle daily/weekly pore care.
- Those prone to clogged pores who want low-irritation exfoliation.
- Users preferring a swipe-on pad format for quick routines.
Key ingredients (INCI)
- BHA/PHA (gentle acids) — cosmetic exfoliation to clear pores and smooth texture.
- Soothing agents (e.g., centella derivatives/panthenol) — calm and comfort skin.
- Humectants (e.g., hyaluronic acid/glycerin) — hydrate and maintain slip.
- Light emollients — help reduce tightness without heavy residue.
Free-from / texture
- Essence-soaked pads with a light, non-sticky finish.
- Typically low fragrance; review INCI for sensitivities.
- Leaves skin fresh and prepped without heavy film.
How to use & order
- PM recommended for first use. After cleansing, swipe pad gently across face and neck, avoiding eyes.
- Do not rinse. Follow with serum and moisturizer; apply sunscreen the next morning.
- Start 2–3 times weekly, then increase if well-tolerated.
Conflicts & layering tips
- Avoid pairing in the same routine with strong acids, retinoids, or benzoyl peroxide.
- Keep the rest of the routine hydrating and barrier-focused to buffer potential sensitivity.
- Patch test if you have sensitive or compromised skin; reduce frequency if irritation occurs.
Evidence & notes
- Acid effects are cosmetic exfoliation; any pore-tightening is cosmetic and temporary.
- Humectants provide plumping when sealed with moisturizer.
- Tingling is possible; rinse off if discomfort is significant.
Safety
- For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
- Do not use on broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
- Patch test along the jawline before first full use.
- Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
