Dermalogy Poreraser Clear BHA Pads are microfiber exfoliating pads designed to purify pores and refine skin texture. The core ingredient is 0.9% Betaine Salicylate (BHA), a fat-soluble exfoliant that penetrates into the pore to clear excess oil and dead cells that contribute to blackheads and rough patches. A blend of low-irritation AHAs, PHAs, and LHAs delivers thorough exfoliation on both the skin surface and inside the pores, while supporting the skin’s barrier. With regular use, the complexion tends to look more even, balanced, and the pores appear visibly smoother. Key benefits: Guaiazulene, sourced from chamomile, helps soothe the skin, while panthenol and a hyaluronic acid complex help maintain hydration and comfort after exfoliation. This step is ideal after cleansing to keep pores clear and prepare the skin for subsequent treatments. The formula combines AHA, PHA, and LHA at gentle levels to provide comprehensive exfoliation without compromising the barrier. Continued use promotes a more even, rested appearance and visibly refined pores. Active and supporting ingredients: - Salicylic Acid (BHA) — 0.9%: a fat-soluble exfoliant that works inside the pore to remove excess sebum and dead cells. - Glycolic Acid (AHA) — water-soluble exfoliant that improves texture and radiance on the skin’s surface. - Gluconolactone (PHA) — larger-molecule exfoliant suitable for sensitive skin, renewing without irritation. - Green Tea Extract (Camellia Sinensis Leaf) — antioxidant-rich polyphenols that calm the skin and help regulate sebum. - Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) — humectant and soothing agent that helps retain moisture and relieve tightness. - Hyaluronic acid complex — supports hydration. How to use: After cleansing, pick up a pad and gently sweep it over the face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Lightly press or dab to help the remaining essence absorb. No rinse is required. Use daily or as tolerated by your skin.
