ARCONA Tabula Rasa Exfoliating Pads — 45 Pre-Soaked Rounds, 2% BHA + 2% AHA for Ingrown Hairs & Razor Bumps

ARCONA Tabula Rasa Pads are pre-soaked exfoliating pads with 2% salicylic acid and 2% lactic acid formulated to clarify pores, calm irritation, and reduce ingrown hairs on face and body.

These ready-to-use cotton rounds combine BHA and AHA chemistry with botanical extracts to deliver chemical exfoliation without messy mixing. Cold-processed to maintain ingredient strength, the pads are meant for targeted application—wipe over breakouts, razor-bumped zones, or areas that need smoother texture. Each tin contains 45 pre-saturated pads for quick, consistent treatments when you have limited time.

How do these pads help with ingrown hairs and razor bumps?

The combination of salicylic acid (BHA) and lactic acid (AHA) helps loosen trapped hairs and clear dead skin that can cause ingrowns. Added soothing botanicals reduce visible redness so treated areas look calmer after use. Use them post-shave or as a treatment for persistent bumps.

• 2% salicylic acid penetrates follicles to clear clogged pores.
• 2% lactic acid gently exfoliates surface cells to free trapped hairs.
• Aloe, black tea and turmeric soothe and reduce surface irritation.
• Cotton rounds enable direct, controlled application to affected spots.

Can I use Tabula Rasa Pads on my face and body safely?

Yes — the pads are formulated for both facial and body use, suited for areas like the chin, bikini line, beard region and back. Begin with patch testing and limit initial use to avoid over-exfoliation. If your skin tolerates the formula, you can incorporate the pads into a regular regimen for maintenance.

• Designed for local spot treatment on face and body blemishes.
• Appropriate for beard and bikini areas prone to razor bumps.
• Recommended to start slowly (every other day) and adjust by tolerance.
• Follow with sunscreen on exposed skin when used during the day.

What active ingredients are in these pads and what do they do?

The pads combine 2% salicylic acid with 2% lactic acid for complementary exfoliation: BHA reaches into pores, while AHA refines the skin surface. The formula also contains botanical additives to support comfort during treatment and to balance the exfoliating effects. Cold processing helps preserve ingredient potency for consistent performance.

• Salicylic acid: oil-soluble BHA for pore penetration and exfoliation.
• Lactic acid: milder AHA that resurfaces and hydrates slightly.
• Witch hazel, neem and geranium: botanical support for calming and clarity.
• Allantoin and aloe: skin-soothing agents to reduce tightness and redness.

How should I incorporate these pads into my routine?

Use one pad to swipe targeted areas after cleansing and before moisturizers or creams. For spot treatments, apply once daily or every other day until improvement; for maintenance, reduce frequency. Avoid combining with strong actives like retinoids at the same time to minimize irritation.

• Cleanse skin first, then apply one pad to problem areas.
• Adjust frequency based on how your skin responds.
• Do not use on broken or severely inflamed skin.
• Always use SPF on treated skin during daytime use.

Who is this for: ARCONA Tabula Rasa Pads are suited to anyone seeking a convenient, potent chemical-exfoliant pad for treating clogged pores, active blemishes and ingrown hairs. They are practical for people with busy routines who want a pre-measured, travel-friendly option for face and body targeted exfoliation. Those with very sensitive skin should patch test and start slowly.
