Clarifying discs are the K-beauty secret that we spot on the networks and wonder: why didn’t we think of it sooner? In summer, we show more of our skin, we shave more often and certain small details become more visible. The skin appears less clear, the legs sometimes have this strawberry skin effect, the armpits appear less uniform.
Celimax is one of those Korean brands that transform a very specific need into a simple, quick and frankly clever gesture. Its name comes from “cell” and “climax”, with this idea of a formula well absorbed by the skin, designed to achieve its best level of effectiveness. After its well-known references such as the Heartleaf BHA Peeling Pad or the Derma Nature Fresh Cleansing Oil, the brand here applies the logic of face pads to the body. And on paper, it’s exactly the beauty nugget we want to slip into our routine before the holidays.
Clarifying discs for areas that lack clarity
These celimax clarifying pads target areas where skin appears rougher, duller or less even. Their formula combines glycolic acid, salicylic acid, niacinamide and tranexamic acid to smooth skin texture and remove dead cells. This large 80 mm double-sided disc makes the gesture very practical on the body: the textured orange side works on the rougher areas, then the white side refines and softens the finish. On the armpits, knees, elbows, calves or legs after hair removal, these clarifying discs give a real impression of targeted care, without using an overly abrasive exfoliation.

The K-beauty find that prepares the skin for summer
The big advantage of these clarifying discs is that they respond to a very concrete problem: this skin which is not dry in the classic sense, but which lacks clarity, softness and uniformity. After showering, first pass the orange side over the areas with visible texture, then the white side to smooth, before tapping off the excess serum. The procedure takes less than a minute, but immediately gives the impression of a more advanced routine. On vacation, before a sleeveless dress, shorts or swimsuit, these clarifying discs become the small, discreet gesture that changes the way the skin catches the light.
Can these clarifying discs be used after hair removal?
Yes, these clarifying pads are great for areas that appear rough after shaving or waxing. If the skin heats up, stings or shows redness, it is better to wait 24 to 48 hours before using them.
Do these clarifying pads help with dark underarms?
They can help improve the appearance of dark or dull underarms with the combination of niacinamide, tranexamic acid and gentle exfoliants. The result depends on the regularity and the origin of the marks, but the gesture is relevant for a more uniform routine.
Should you put a cream after these clarifying pads?
Yes, a moisturizer is recommended after these clarifying discs, especially if the skin is sensitive. And if the treated areas are exposed to the sun, sun protection becomes essential, because AHAs can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays.
