“A set of hypoallergenic toner pads formulated with 140,000ppm skin-soothing Salix Alba Extract and EWG green grade certified BHA to gently exfoliate and regulate sebum production.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: betaine salicylate.
MoisturizingGlycerin, Butylene glycol + 2 moreWorks
“Double-sided design to soothe and hydrate the skin with the soft embossed side while removing impurities with the gauze side.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, butylene glycol.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
