Benefits
A powerful exfoliating treatment featuring a 2% Salicylic Acid and Triple-Acid blend that effectively clears deep-set blackheads, regulates sebum, and refines skin texture for a clear, matte complexion.
Description
The Dr. Althea 2% Salicylic Acid Clear Pad is a high-potency exfoliating treatment designed to deep-clean pores and resurface the skin. Each jar contains 170g of essence-soaked, double-sided pads (65 pads total). The formula is centered on a 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA) concentration-the maximum allowed in over-the-counter products-to dissolve the oil that binds dead skin cells together. It is supported by a "Triple-Acid" blend of Lactic Acid (AHA) and Lactobionic Acid (PHA) for surface-level smoothing, alongside Tea Tree Leaf Extract and Witch Hazel to manage inflammation. These pads are designed to provide a professional-level chemical peel experience in a convenient, daily-use format.
What skin concerns does it target?
- Persistent Acne and Breakouts: It targets acne-causing bacteria and prevents new blemishes by keeping the internal pore environment clean and oxygenated.
- Blackheads and Whiteheads: The 2% BHA is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate deep into the follicle to melt hardened sebum plugs (blackheads).
- Enlarged Pores: By consistently removing the debris that stretches pore walls, it helps minimize their appearance and prevents future congestion.
- Rough, Oily Texture: It targets excessive oiliness and "orange peel" skin texture, leaving the face feeling matte, smooth, and refined.
Why is this the best choice for you?
- Max-Strength BHA: Unlike many mild "clearing" pads that use low percentages, this features a full 2% Salicylic Acid for significant results on stubborn skin congestion.
- Dual-Textured Pad Material: One side is embossed (textured) for physical exfoliation and debris removal, while the other is smooth for delivering soothing botanical extracts and moisture.
- Triple-Acid Synergy: It doesn't just clear pores; the combination of AHA, BHA, and PHA ensures that the skin surface is polished, hydrated, and brightened simultaneously.
- Cooling & Soothing Finish: Formulated with Menthol and Bisabolol, it provides an immediate cooling sensation that calms the "heat" often associated with inflamed acne and active exfoliation.
