How often should I use the Zero Pore Pad 2.0?
The formula is gentle enough for daily use. However, if you are new to chemical exfoliants or have sensitive skin, it's best to start by using the pads every 2-3 days. As your skin builds tolerance, you can gradually increase the frequency to daily use for optimal pore-refining results.
What's the difference between the AHA and BHA in these pads?
The pads use a powerful, dual-action approach to exfoliation:
- AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) is water-soluble and works on the surface of your skin, effectively sweeping away dead skin cells to improve texture and smoothness.
- BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate deep inside your pores to clear out trapped sebum and impurities, which helps to prevent breakouts.
How are these pads different from a physical face scrub?
These pads provide a form of chemical exfoliation, which uses gentle acids (AHA and BHA) to dissolve the bonds holding dead skin cells together. This is generally considered to be a more effective and less abrasive method than a physical scrub, which relies on rough particles that can sometimes cause micro-tears and irritation on the skin.
