BHA pad reduces blackheads and acne; gentle exfoliation, not zero-actives.

A leave-on BHA pad with willow bark water, panthenol, and allantoin for clogged pores and recurring acne. It suits people wanting a low-effort exfoliation step, but layering it with several other actives can push skin into irritation.
