Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.
A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.
As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.
Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.
Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.
In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.
This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.
Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Medik8 Blemish Control Pads contains this as ingredient number 4.
Allantoin plays a role in soothing and moisturizing the skin. Because of this, it is often added to products with strong active ingredients.
Some studies have shown this ingredient can promote wound healing with higher concentrations.
Allantoin is derived from the comfrey plant but produced synthetically for cosmetic products to ensure purity.

Medik8 Blemish Control Pads contains this as ingredient number 6.
Ethylhexylglycerin (we can't pronounce this either) is commonly used as a preservative and skin softener. It is derived from glyceryl.
You might see Ethylhexylglycerin often paired with other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol. Ethylhexylglycerin has been found to increase the effectiveness of these other preservatives.

Medik8 Blemish Control Pads contains this as ingredient number 8.
Salicylic Acid (also known as beta hydroxy acid or BHA) is one of the most well-known ingredients for treating skin that struggles with blackheads and acne. It helps to exfoliate both the skin's surface and pores, and also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent.
This multitasking property makes it a great ingredient for cleaning out pores, controlling oil production, and reducing inflammation.
Unlike AHAs which are water soluble, Salicylic Acid is oil soluble. This means that it's able to exfoliate the inside of pores and reduce blackheads.
Concentrations of 0.5-2% are recognized by the U.S. FDA as an over-the-counter topical acne product.
It can cause irritation and/or dryness if one's skin already has a compromised moisture barrier, so it's best to focus on repairing that before introducing a Salicylic Acid into your routine.
In general, Salicylic Acid is a great ingredient for oily acne-prone skin.
While salicylic acid does not increase sun-sensitivity, we still recommend wearing SPF.

This is skin texture's final boss. After using this, the texture, gone. Skin, smooth. I started using this everyday once I got it, but I haven't gotten any irritation or acne, so that's good. The first few weeks you definitely see a difference in texture. I just hate how it's always sold out.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this soooo much. First of all, it literally smells like a spa, it comes with a cute little toner pad plucker so that your fingers don’t cross contaminate the contents. I even showed it to my neighbours who are also obsessed with Korean skincare and they were so jealous of how it looks. But the use was even better. The needley toner pads are double sided one side being rough and the other smooth so it exfoliates really well combined with the gentle moisture the toner provides. What I love about these is how BIG they are! I wash my face double cleansing, exfoliate and the needley pads brush off the remaining debris and dead skin cells I otherwise wouldn’t have seen. The best part about these is that you can use them everyday if you want to. I only use mine every other day sometimes only twice a week. Some people cut them in half since they’re so big and they last even LONGER. I really cherish mine. They make a big difference to my skin and are at times the single contributor to preventing a breakout because it like brings a clean slate to my face so it’s wiped of all gunk.
