ExfoliationBetaine salicylate, Capryloyl salicylic acid + 1 moreWorks well
“Mediheal Phyto-Enzyme Peeling Pad is a gentle exfoliating toner pad that helps cleanse the skin, refine the look of pores, and leave the skin looking smoother and brighter.”
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, capryloyl salicylic acid.
MoisturizingGlycerin, Betaine + 2 moreWorks
“The pre‑soaked pad delivers instant hydration with just one swipe or short mask application, helping the skin feel refreshed and better prepared for the next skincare steps.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, glycerin.
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).
Evens skin toneNot advertised by the brand · Capryloyl salicylic acidMay help
This product might be able to help reduce hyperpigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains betaine salicylate. The effect, if any, is likely to be small. Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: capryloyl salicylic acid.
Anti-blemishSide benefit the brand mentions · Betaine salicylate, Capryloyl salicylic acid + 1 moreMay help
“Embossed textured side for enhanced exfoliation and smooth side for gentle exfoliation in sensitive areas Reduces blackheads and visibly improves pores”
