Acne Treatment Pads

ZO Skin Health Acne Treatment Pads are a triple acid treatment toner in convenient pre-soaked pad form, formulated to reduce the formation of blemishes, normalize oil production, and improve the appearance of pore size. Combining 2% salicylic acid with mandelic acid and glycolic acid, these treatment pads chemically exfoliate pore-clogging dead skin cells, penetrate pores to reduce active blemishes, help prevent new breakouts from forming, and visibly improve the appearance of post-acne marks and redness — all while the textured pad surface delivers non-abrasive smoothing benefits with every application.

Designed for oily and blemish-prone skin, ZO Skin Health Acne Treatment Pads offer a precise, hygienic, and easy-to-use format that delivers consistent acid concentration with each application. Suitable for use on the face and other affected areas, they are an effective daily treatment for those seeking to manage active breakouts and prevent future blemish formation as part of a complete ZO Skin Health acne regimen.

Key Ingredients

• 2% Salicylic Acid — A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate into the pore and dissolve the sebum and dead skin cell buildup that cause congestion and breakouts. At 2%, salicylic acid effectively exfoliates pore-clogging debris, reduces active blemishes, and helps prevent new breakouts from forming with consistent use.
• Mandelic Acid — A gentle alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds with a larger molecular size than glycolic acid, allowing for a more controlled, less irritating exfoliation. Mandelic acid helps reduce the appearance of post-acne marks, visible redness, and uneven skin tone, while also offering mild antibacterial properties that contribute to blemish control.
• Glycolic Acid — The smallest AHA molecule, glycolic acid penetrates the skin effectively to accelerate cell turnover, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of post-acne marks and discoloration. Working synergistically with mandelic acid and salicylic acid, it enhances the overall exfoliating and clarifying efficacy of the formula.
• Textured Pad Surface — The physical texture of the pre-soaked pads is specifically designed to deliver non-abrasive smoothing benefits during application, providing a gentle mechanical exfoliation alongside the chemical exfoliation of the acid blend for a more comprehensive skin-refining effect.

How to Use

Cleanse skin thoroughly before applying. Apply the pad to the affected area with a thin, even layer one to three times daily. Because excessive dryness may occur, begin with one application daily and gradually increase to two or three times daily as tolerated, or as directed by your skincare professional. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once daily or every other day. Avoid contact with eyes.
