House of Hur Clearing Skin Prep Essence Pads – 70 Pads | AHA/BHA/PHA Exfoliating, Alcohol & Fragrance-Free

House of Hur Clearing Skin Prep Essence Pads are gentle, water-based exfoliating toner pads combining AHA, BHA and PHA to refine texture, clear pores, and hydrate without alcohol or fragrance.

These pre-soaked cellulose pads are formulated to remove dead skin cells and surface buildup while supporting skin comfort with Red Beet Extract. Designed to be gentle enough for regular use, they replace rough scrubs with a chemical blend that targets uneven texture and clogged pores, and the two-sided pad offers both lift and smoothing in one step.

How do these pads improve skin texture without irritation?

The pads use a trio of chemical exfoliants—AHA for surface renewal, BHA to reach into pores, and PHA for gentler, hydrating exfoliation—so you get measurable smoothing without physical graininess. Because the formula is water-based and free of alcohol and fragrance, it minimizes the sting or tightness some exfoliants cause.

• Combined AHA/BHA/PHA system for layered exfoliation
• Water-based essence absorbs quickly, preventing residue
• Alcohol- and fragrance-free to reduce irritation risk
• Soft cellulose preserves the skin barrier compared to scrubs

What makes the double-sided pads useful in a routine?

Each pad has a textured side to lift oil, dead skin and impurities, plus a smooth side to distribute the essence evenly and refine the skin’s surface. That two-step action helps prepare skin for serums or makeup, ensuring better absorption and a smoother finish.

• Textured surface for gentle mechanical lifting
• Smooth side for even application and skin prep
• Single pad accomplishes both cleansing and priming
• 70 pads per tub for convenient multi-week use

Are these pads safe for fungal-acne-prone or sensitive skin?

The cleansing pads are formulated without common triggers like oils, essential oils, or heavy silicones and are labeled fungal-acne safe to reduce the chance of aggravating Malassezia-prone skin. The inclusion of Red Beet Extract offers soothing hydration, and the absence of alcohol helps avoid over-drying that can worsen sensitivity.

• Fungal-acne safe formulation—no problematic oils
• Red Beet Extract soothes and supports hydration
• Free from parabens, sulfates, silicones, fragrance, and alcohol
• Gentle PHA supports sensitive skin compatibility

How do I fit these pads into my skincare routine?

Use the pads after cleansing and before serums or moisturizers—wipe with the textured side first, flip to the smooth side, and let the essence absorb. Start with 2–3 times a week to assess tolerance, then increase frequency as your skin adapts, avoiding layering with other strong actives on the same day.

• After cleansing, apply with textured side, then smooth side
• Allow a short absorption time before serums or SPF
• Begin gradually (2–3 times weekly), then adjust frequency
• Avoid combining with other potent exfoliants simultaneously

Who this is for: These pads are suited for people wanting chemical exfoliation without abrasive scrubs—especially those who prefer alcohol-free, fragrance-free skincare or need products compatible with fungal-acne-prone skin. They work well for users aiming to smooth texture, reduce pore congestion, and create a balanced base for serums and makeup while keeping routine steps fast and simple.
