Lactobionic Acid — a PHA — is particularly gentle: its large molecular size limits deep penetration, reducing irritation while delivering humectancy, antioxidant protection, and surface brightening. Lactic Acid exfoliates the upper epidermal layers and boosts hydration via NMF stimulation.

The formula addresses the full acne and congestion cycle: exfoliation of dead skin cells, deep pore cleansing, sebum regulation, antibacterial protection, and post-exfoliation soothing and hydration in a single step.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      The exfoliant architecture is a triple-acid system. Salicylic Acid at 2% is the BHA core — oil-soluble and capable of penetrating the pore canal to dissolve the keratin plugs that cause blackheads and whiteheads, reducing sebum oxidation and inhibiting the NF-κB inflammatory pathway that converts comedones into inflammatory acne. Lactobionic Acid (PHA) adds a gentler exfoliation layer with antioxidant and humectant properties; its larger molecular size means it works more at the surface than deep within, reducing the cumulative irritation risk. Lactic Acid (AHA) exfoliates the stratum corneum, brightens pigmentation, and stimulates NMF (natural moisturising factor) production.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      The antibacterial complex — Witch Hazel, Tea Tree, and Calendula — targets acne-causing bacteria (C. acnes) through multiple pathways simultaneously. Bisabolol, Biosaccharide Gum-1, and the triple HA system provide immediate soothing and hydration repletion to counteract the barrier disruption caused by acid exfoliation, making the pad suitable for regular use without chronic dryness or sensitivity.\n      \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n      Contains Menthol and Menthoxypropanediol for a cooling sensation — those with menthol sensitivity should patch test first.
