Ji Woo Gae Heartleaf BHA Peeling Pad

The Celimax Ji Woo Gae Heartleaf BHA Peeling Pad is a gentle 2-in-1 exfoliating pad with heartleaf extract (Houttuynia Cordata) and Betaine Salicylate, which smoothes the skin's surface, refines the skin texture, and simultaneously soothes irritated skin.

What sets this pad apart is the combination of a mild BHA derivative and a concentrated Centella Asiatica active complex in a single application. Betaine Salicylate is a gentler form of salicylic acid that, similar to classic BHA, penetrates pores and dissolves dead skin cells, but is significantly more tolerable for sensitive skin. The pad has two sides: The embossed side is suitable for gentle exfoliation of the entire face, while the gauze side is for more intensive use on the nose, neck, and ears. Heartleaf extract (Houttuynia Cordata) is a plant extract valued in Korean natural cosmetics for soothing the skin and clarifying its appearance. The Centella Asiatica complex is present here in its purest form: Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, and Madecassic Acid are listed as isolated individual substances – a sign of particularly highly pure active ingredients that specifically strengthen the skin barrier and soothe irritated skin. Sodium hyaluronate provides moisture and retains it in the skin. Tea tree oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia) has a clarifying effect and supports a balanced complexion. Camellia Sinensis leaf water, extracted from green tea, provides moisture and protects the skin from oxidative stress. Chamaecyparis Obtusa water, distilled from Japanese cypress wood, is known for its soothing and moisturizing properties. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) rounds out the formula as a protective antioxidant.

This peeling pad is particularly well-suited for sensitive skin prone to redness that also wants to be exfoliated without irritation. Since Betaine Salicylate is milder than free salicylic acid, it is also suitable for skin that reacts to classic BHA products with intolerances. Blemished and combination skin benefits from the pore-cleansing effect of the BHA derivative and heartleaf extract. Thanks to sodium hyaluronate and the moisturizing plant waters, the skin remains soft and not dried out after use.
