What it is
What it is
celimax Heartleaf BHA Peeling Pad uses an embossed side for face preparation and a gauze side for rougher areas such as the nose or chin. The 60-pad, 125ml tub is an option if you prefer prepared sheets and want to distinguish their two sides.
Read the actual BHA ingredient
Betaine Salicylate 0.5% and Heartleaf Extract 100ppm are labeled. “BHA” should not be read as the same concentration of Salicylic Acid. Glycerin, Betaine and Sodium Hyaluronate provide additional moisturizing entries. Cypress Water, Sea Water and Green Tea Water are distinct from similarly named extracts.
Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid and Madecassic Acid are also listed. Their presence does not make a peeling pad something to scrub hard like an eraser. Tea Tree Leaf Oil is another entry to check if you avoid botanical oils.
Use each side for its purpose
The official description assigns the embossed side to face texture preparation and the gauze side to rougher locations such as the nose, chin or behind the ears. This is not an instruction to rub every area repeatedly with both sides. The brand recommends testing on an arm or neck first for sensitive skin. Review any existing peeling step before adding another.
A buying question answered
No. The label states Betaine Salicylate 0.5%. Do not reinterpret that as a Salicylic Acid concentration or assume two products have identical effects or tolerability. If an exfoliant is already in your routine, first consider whether another exfoliating step and the physical wiping are useful for your skin.
Use and comparison choices
At the first skincare step, gently wipe the face with the embossed side, avoiding the eyes. Use the gauze side lightly on rougher areas such as the nose or chin; avoid repeated hard rubbing. Pat in the remaining liquid and close the tub.
Medicube 2.0 lists Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid and Alcohol Denat.; compare celimax by its Betaine Salicylate label and the intended areas for the gauze side.
Atobarrier365 Cream is a moisturizing follow-up option; consider a moisturizer rather than stacking another exfoliating pad.

Key ingredients
An amino acid derivative obtained from sugar beet that draws in and holds water. It has a documented ability to soften surfactant harshness, so it also appears in cleansers. Because it feels less tacky than glycerin, formulas often use the two together.
An extract of Houttuynia cordata, known in Korea as eoseongcho and long used in traditional preparations. It is formulated to calm skin prone to blemishes or visible redness, and appears in scalp products as well. Its strong natural odour means the material is refined before use.
A glycosaminoglycan found in human skin and joints, notable for how much water it can draw in and hold. Cosmetics usually use the water-soluble sodium salt, though the acid form is sometimes listed directly. Molecular weight determines whether it sits on the surface or works down between corneocytes.
