What Do Salicylic Acid Toner Pads Do?

Thayers salicylic acid toner pads visibly improve the appearance of pores and skin clarity and refresh and balance the skin. Thayers Pore Refining Pads are clinically tested to improve skin dullness in 3 days and clarity in 1 week. <br />

What Skin Types Can Use Hydrating Toner Pads?

All skin types can use hydrating toner pads but dry or acne-prone skin types will find them the most helpful. Thayers Pore Refining Pads contain hyaluronic acid, a must-have skincare ingredient for dry skin types that attracts moisture to the skin’s surface. The pads are also made with salicylic acid, a type of BHA that exfoliates the skin and can clear pore-clogging buildup.

How Do You Use Pore Minimizer Pads?

Using pore minimizer pads is easy: simply swipe a pad across your face after cleansing and then follow with moisturizer. You can use the pads in the morning and at night. Unlike toners in a bottle, which are typically applied with cotton pads that you have to supply, Thayers Pore Refining Pads provide the pads pre-soaked in a gentle formula featuring witch hazel, salicylic acid, and hyaluronic acid. There’s no doubt it’s simpler and more convenient to use our pore minimizing toner pads than regular toner.

When Should I Use Toner Pads for Pores?

You should use toner pads for pores if you have large pores and/or dull skin, as these pads will make your pores look smaller and brighten your complexion. It’s recommended that you use Thayers Pore Refining Pads twice a day, morning and night, for best results.

Can You Use Toner Pads With Salicylic Acid Every Day?

You can use toner pads with salicylic acid every day, in the morning and at night. However, if using toner pads in the morning, apply sunscreen as your last skincare step. As a BHA, salicylic acid may increase the skin’s sun sensitivity and risk of sunburn. Wearing sunscreen before you head out the door will decrease your likelihood of a sunburn.

How Long Do Thayers Pore Refining Toner Pads Last?

Thayers Pore Refining Toner Pads last for 3 years when unopened. Once opened, these pore refining pads have a shelf life of 12 months. Be warned, though: these pore refining pads are so effective, you’ll get through all of them before you know it.

How Do I Travel With Hyaluronic Acid Toner Pads?

Due to their packaging, Thayers Pore Refining Pads make great toner pads for travel. The container itself is easy to pack into a gym bag, purse, or luggage. But if you’re going on a shorter trip or bringing the pads through airport security, it’s best to pack a few of these hyaluronic acid toner pads in a plastic zip bag.

What do toner pads do?

Toner pads offer the balancing and hydrating benefits of a traditional liquid toner, but with the added convenience of a pre-soaked pad that provides gentle physical exfoliation. Ours are also supercharged with Salicylic Acid for effective chemical exfoliation to keep pores clear.

Are these pads safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Because they are 100% alcohol-free and feature soothing ingredients like Aloe Vera alongside gentle exfoliants, they are dermatologist-tested and safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Do I need to wash my face after using a toner pad?

No need to rinse. Simply wipe the pad across your cleansed face and follow up directly with your favorite serums and moisturizers to lock in the clarifying benefits.
