Kojic Acid Turmeric Pad
Essence-soaked pads you sweep over clean skin to fade dark spots and even out tone, powered by kojic acid, turmeric, and a gentle pair of exfoliating acids that also smooth rough texture. They leave skin damp and comfortable rather than stripped. A good fit for anyone chipping away at post-blemish marks, sun spots, or overall dullness.
More detail
Kojic acid and turmeric (curcuma longa) root extract do the brightening work on dark spots and uneven tone, while low levels of glycolic acid (an AHA) and salicylic acid (a BHA) lift dead surface cells to smooth texture; niacinamide and vitamin C reinforce the tone-evening, and hyaluronic acid, panthenol, allantoin, and licorice keep skin hydrated and calm. The pads are alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and free of essential oils. Use one after cleansing, swiping over the face and neck, then follow with your serum and moisturizer. Because the formula exfoliates, it's easiest to start a few nights a week rather than daily, and to avoid stacking other strong acids or retinoids on the same night. Daily sunscreen matters while you're treating pigmentation, since sun easily undoes brightening progress. Kojic acid can be sensitizing for some people, so patch test first if your skin reacts easily.
