High-level description: Dual-sided exfoliating toner pads designed to minimise pores, smooth rough texture, and support clearer skin with AHA, BHA, and a balanced blend of soothing botanicals.

Category: Exfoliator

A pore-refining exfoliating pad system created to remove excess sebum, lift dead skin buildup, and help clear clogged pores.

Infused with AHA fruit acids and BHA from willow bark, each pad exfoliates inside the pore lining to reduce congestion and improve clarity.

The embossed side refreshes and dislodges buildup, while the silky side polishes and smooths the skin for a refined finish.

Formulated with soothing botanicals to support comfort, making it suitable for most skin types—including mildly sensitive skin when used with reduced frequency.

Helps visibly reduce pore waste by up to 87.3%, supporting a clearer, smoother look.
Controls excess oil with improvements of 47.1% in sebum levels and 44.3% in blackheads with regular use.
AHA + BHA synergy targets surface roughness while clearing the pore interior.
Calming botanicals like centella and tea tree help keep the skin balanced during exfoliation.
Works effectively as a targeted T-zone treatment for stubborn congestion.
Curated pick: A daily pore-care pad that clarifies without stripping, supporting long-term smoothness and balanced radiance.

AHA (Fruit Acid Complex) – Helps soften and lift dead skin cells for smoother texture.
BHA (Salicylic Acid + Willow Bark Extract) – Exfoliates inside pores to reduce congestion and improve clarity.
Centella Asiatica – Helps calm visible irritation and support barrier comfort.
Panthenol & Allantoin – Add hydration and cushioning during exfoliation.
Hyaluronic Acid – Helps maintain moisture for a balanced, refreshed finish.

After cleansing, sweep the embossed side across the face from the centre outward.
Flip to the silky side to refine and smooth the skin.
For stubborn congestion, leave the pad on for 1–2 minutes as a targeted pore-care boost.
Recommended 1–2 times daily, especially on the T-zone or areas prone to excess oil and buildup.
Pat remaining essence into the skin.

Skin Types: Oily, Combination, Normal, Sensitive

Concerns: Enlarged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, excess oil, uneven texture, redness, dehydration.

Pairs well with: Centella toners, lightweight hydrating essences, niacinamide serums, and simple moisturisers. These help soothe and balance the skin after exfoliation, especially useful because the pads contain AHA, BHA, and Alcohol Denat. which may feel strong on sensitive skin.

Compatible with: Vitamin C derivatives, azelaic acid, alpha arbutin, peptides, and brightening serums in alternating routines. Retinoids are compatible when used on different nights, recommended for sensitive skin due to the acids, alcohol, and essential oils present.

Avoid using: Retinoids, strong acids, or pure L-ascorbic acid in the same session, as the pads already include lactic acid, salicylic acid, betaine salicylate, Alcohol Denat., and multiple essential oils (orange, lemon, grapefruit, bergamot, rosemary, eucalyptus, lavender), which can increase sensitivity or cause stinging.

Layering tip: Use before serums. Sensitive users should start 2–3 times weekly, use only the silky side, avoid masking time, and follow with a fragrance-free barrier cream to offset potential dryness or irritation from the acids and essential oils.

Pro Tip: Alternating nights with exfoliants and retinoids is ideal for clearer pores with reduced risk of flare-ups. This benefits mildly sensitive or combination-sensitive skin that tolerates low-level acids but may react to fragrance, alcohol, or over-exfoliation.
