Take the skin testAchieve smoother, clearer skin with the Celimax Ji Woo Gae Cica BHA Blemish Toner Pad. Designed for acne-prone and sensitive skin, these gentle pads exfoliate dead skin cells and reduce excess sebum with a powerful blend of BHA, PHA, and LHA. Infused with the patented Hepta-cne Complex, featuring seven plant extracts like Camellia Flower Extract, they tighten pores, regulate oil production, and soothe irritation. Enriched with Centella Asiatica for calming breakouts, these pads leave your skin refreshed and balanced.
Ji Woo Gae Cica BHA Blemish Toner Pad is a lightweight toner pads from Celimax. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 30 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Glycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glycerin and Panthenol.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Centella Asiatica Extract, Panthenol, Madecassoside and Bifida Ferment Lysate.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, brightening and tone and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain essential oils and drying alcohol, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after cleansing, before serums. Apply to slightly damp skin so the humectants have water to hold on to.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
