Korean Toner Pads with PHA

Pre-soaked pads that tone, and often gently exfoliate, in one swipe. Check whether a pad carries an acid before using it every day.

Gluconolactone and lactobionic acid exfoliate like AHAs, but their larger molecules penetrate more slowly, so they sting far less. Every one of these toner pads lists it in its formula.
