DR. ALTHEA 2% Salicylic Acid Clear Pad – toning exfoliating pads with three acids
DR. ALTHEA 2% Salicylic Acid Clear Pad is a set of 65 pre-soaked toning facial pads designed for excess oil, the feeling of clogged pores, and uneven skin texture. The 2% stated in the name refers to the concentration of the formula’s key acid, salicylic acid. The product is designed as a quick, precisely dosed step after cleansing for those who want more than another liquid toner and prefer a more targeted format for smoothing the skin’s surface.
Three acids in one pad – for pores and uneven skin texture
This product is based on more than just BHA. Salicylic acid is complemented by lactic acid and gluconolactone, bringing together the BHA, AHA, and PHA acid groups in one formula. This is a purposeful combination for skin that feels rougher on the surface and tends to accumulate sebum around the pores. Instead of aggressive exfoliation, the product offers a pad saturated with a liquid solution—a practical format that combines acid-based care with the physical action of wiping in a single step.
- 2% salicylic acid: This BHA acid helps remove excess oil and maintain the appearance of cleaner, smoother-textured skin, especially in areas prone to clogged pores.
- AHA and PHA support: Lactic acid and gluconolactone complement the formula’s surface-smoothing action, so the product targets not only the appearance of pores but also the feeling of roughness.
- Moisture-supporting base: Three forms of hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and biosaccharide gum help prevent an overly dry, “scrubbed clean” feeling after the acid step.
- Soothing botanical ingredients: Calendula, witch hazel, and tea tree extracts, together with bisabolol, complement the formula’s active focus; it is worth noting that the formula also contains fragrance.
The pad itself is thin and generously saturated, leaving behind a light, fresh, non-oily layer, while menthoxypropanediol provides a noticeable cooling sensation. Once absorbed, the essence does not feel like a heavy toner, allowing the product to fit naturally between cleansing and subsequent moisturizing products. It is a well-suited choice for those who appreciate acid-based care in a convenient 65-pad format and want it complemented by moisture-supporting ingredients.
Usage
Cleanse and dry your face, then take one DR. ALTHEA 2% Salicylic Acid Clear Pad and gently swipe it over the face, avoiding the eye and lip areas, paying special attention to the T-zone or areas with pimples; do not rinse, allow the product to absorb, then use a moisturizer, and in the morning be sure to apply SPF; start using 2–3 times per week and, if the skin tolerates it well, increase the frequency to once a day; if irritation occurs, reduce use or discontinue.
