Do you see those moments when the skin becomes a little dull, where the pores seem more visible and where the skin texture lacks clarity? This is exactly where the
Korean exfoliating discs come into play. And honestly, it’s the kind of product that we adopt very quickly when we discover the K-beauty. Nice surprise: these Mizon discs cost around 13 euros for 60 discs, which makes them a very accessible treatment for testing the Korean version of gentle exfoliation.
The principle is simple. The discs are already soaked in a gentle exfoliating lotion. You pass the pad over the skin, and in seconds it helps to
eliminate dead cells, excess sebum and impurities. All without stripping the skin.
Korean discs that clean pores and smooth the skin
If you like simple but effective routines, these korean exfoliating discs
Mizon are definitely the kind of product you always keep in your bathroom. Each disc is soaked in an exfoliating toner
low pH, which helps cleanse the skin while respecting its balance. The formula is based on a very popular trio in K-beauty: AHA, BHA and PHA. THE AHAs help remove dead surface cells to smooth the skin. THE BHA cleanses pores more deeply and helps limit blackheads. THE PHA exfoliates while providing hydration, which makes the treatment much gentler for sensitive skin.
Gentle exfoliation that reveals clearer skin
The discs also have a very practical double texture. One gauze side gently exfoliates the skin, the other embossed side allows the lotion to be distributed over the entire face. Enriched with
panthenol,
Allantoin and
extract of Houttuynia cordata, they also help to soothe the skin and reduce redness. What we really like about these Korean exfoliating discs are their ultra practical side. No need for cotton or multiple products. You simply pass the pad over clean skin, and the skin already appears
sharper, softer and brighter.
A cult K-beauty brand
If the name Mizon tells you something, it’s normal. The brand is one of the pioneers of Modern K-beauty. She notably made popular the famous snail mucin cream, which has become a world bestseller. Created by researchers from major Korean cosmetic companies, the brand develops formulas based on innovative active ingredients and gentle ingredients for the skin. All products are made in Korea and follow very strict formulation standards.
What are facial exfoliating pads used for?
THE Exfoliating pads are discs already soaked in lotion that allow you to exfoliate the skin very quickly. In the K-beauty, they are often used right after cleansing to remove dead cells, excess sebum and impurities that clog pores. Formulas containing AHA, BHA and PHA help smooth skin texture, refine skin texture and make the complexion brighter. Used regularly, exfoliating pads can also help reduce the appearance of blackheads, visible pores and skin irregularities.
Can you use exfoliating pads every day?
Even though the formula is gentle, it’s best to leave skin “alone” from time to time.
- start 2 to 3 times a week if skin is reactive
- avoid the eye area
- moisturize the skin after exfoliation
- use sun protection during the day
Are exfoliating pads suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, some
Korean exfoliating discs are specially formulated for sensitive skin. This is the case for those which contain
PHA, a type of exfoliating acid that is gentler than traditional AHAs. Formulas enriched with panthenol, Allantoin or centella asiatica also help soothe the skin during exfoliation. When formulated well and used correctly, pads can improve skin texture without causing irritation.
