JI WOO GAE Heartleaf BHA Peeling Pad
For clogged pores, rough texture, and blemish-prone skin.
One of Korea's best-selling exfoliating toner pads, and the kind of product that earns cult status by simply doing its job well. Betaine salicylate (a gentler alternative to pure salicylic acid) works inside the pore to dissolve dead skin cells and control excess sebum, smoothing rough texture and unclogging pores without the harshness of a stronger BHA. The dual-textured pad is the clever part. An embossed side for thorough daily wiping, and a rougher gauze side reserved for more intensive exfoliation on the nose, chin, and other congestion-prone areas.
The heartleaf story runs deep here too. Houttuynia cordata calms the skin and helps reduce the appearance of imperfections, while the full centella panel (madecassoside, asiaticoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid) adds barrier support and calming benefits alongside the acid work. Sodium hyaluronate, one of the smallest hyaluronic acid molecules available, boosts hydration to offset any dryness from the exfoliation. EWG Green rated ingredients throughout, and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, when used consistently rather than aggressively.
