House of Hur Clearing Skin Prep Essence Pads — 70 Pads Fungal-Acne Safe AHA BHA PHA Exfoliating, Alcohol- and Fragrance-Free

House of Hur Clearing Skin Prep Essence Pads are gentle, water-based exfoliating toner pads with AHA, BHA and PHA that resurface skin, clear pores, and hydrate with red beet extract without alcohol or fragrance.

These double-sided essence pads are formulated to offer chemical exfoliation without harsh scrubs or sticky residues. Designed to be mild enough for skin prone to irritation and compatible with fungal-acne concerns, they combine three exfoliating acids with soothing red beet extract in a clean, minimal ingredient list. Use them after cleansing to lift buildup, refine texture, and prep skin for serums, moisturizers, or makeup.

How do these pads exfoliate without irritating skin?

The formula pairs AHA for surface-smoothing, BHA to clear pore congestion, and PHA for gentle cell turnover with lower irritation risk. Because they’re water-based and free of alcohol and fragrances, the pads deliver active exfoliation while maintaining skin comfort. The dual-texture cellulose pads let you buff away grime without rubbing abrasive particles across the skin.

• AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) helps remove dull surface cells for a smoother look
• BHA (beta hydroxy acid) penetrates pores to dislodge buildup and excess oil
• PHA (polyhydroxy acid) offers gentle exfoliation with added hydration support
• Double-sided pads: textured side lifts impurities; smooth side refines finish

Are these pads suitable for skin prone to fungal acne or sensitivity?

Yes — the pads are formulated without common triggers like alcohol, fragrance, essential oils, sulfates, parabens, or silicones, making them a safer option for fungal-acne-conscious routines. The balanced, water-based essence limits drying and irritation while still providing chemical exfoliation. Always patch-test when introducing actives to sensitive or reactive skin.

• Fungal-acne safe formulation avoids oils and heavy emollients
• Fragrance-free and alcohol-free to reduce irritation risk
• Water-based essence absorbs quickly without tackiness
• Suitable for layered routines; follow with compatible serums and moisturizers

How do I use the pads for best results in my skincare routine?

After cleansing, swipe a pad across the face and neck, using the textured side where congestion or dead skin is more noticeable and the smooth side to even tone. Allow the essence to absorb completely before applying active serums or moisturizer. Start with a few times per week, then increase frequency as tolerated.

• Use post-cleanse on dry or slightly damp skin
• Apply textured side first, smooth side to finish
• Start 2–3 times weekly, progress to nightly if tolerated
• Always follow with sunscreen in the daytime

What noticeable benefits should I expect and when?

Users often see a fresher, less congested complexion and smoother texture within a few uses; clearer pores and fewer surface bumps typically appear over several weeks. The red beet extract supports hydration and helps soothe redness while the acids promote turnover for a brighter-looking skin tone. Results depend on individual skin type and consistent use.

• Smoother texture after a few treatments
• Reduced surface buildup and fewer visible clogged pores over weeks
• Balanced, non-tight finish rather than dry or stripped skin
• Hydrating support from red beet extract to minimize redness

Who is this for: House of Hur Clearing Skin Prep Essence Pads suit anyone looking for a non-abrasive chemical exfoliant that preps skin for treatments and makeup while staying mindful of fungal-acne safety and sensitivity. They’re a good match for oily, combination, or congested skin wanting clearer pores and softer texture, and for users who prefer alcohol- and fragrance-free Korean skincare formulations.
