ALLSETUP Mandelic Acid Toner Pads — 70 Pads, AHA + PHA Exfoliating Dual-Texture for Oil Control & Pore Refining

These ready-to-use pads combine a mild AHA and a gentle PHA with hydrating Aqua GG to deliver daily resurfacing that’s been clinically evaluated for oil control and pore volume reduction. The dual-textured pads let you customize exfoliation: an embossed side for light resurfacing and a soft side to apply toner and nourishment. The formula is fragrance- and alcohol-free, designed to support a calm, clearer complexion with consistent use.

How do these pads help with oily or congested skin?

The mandelic acid in each pad helps loosen dead skin cells and reduce sebum on the skin’s surface, while gluconolactone gently exfoliates with lower irritation risk. Clinically, the treatment showed strong sebum reduction and measurable pore volume improvement, providing visible smoothing over regular use.

• Clinical sebum reduction observed: 94.95% in testing conditions
• Pore volume improvement: 30.54% measured reduction
• Dual-texture design targets both surface oil and residue in pores
• Fragrance- and alcohol-free to avoid added irritation

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

The formula was clinically tested to be non-irritating, making it suitable for delicate or acne-prone skin when used as directed. The use of larger-molecule acids—mandelic acid (AHA) and gluconolactone (PHA)—means slower penetration and a gentler exfoliation compared with strong AHAs.

• Zero irritation reported in the clinical assessment
• Larger molecular AHAs and PHAs reduce the risk of over-exfoliation
• Alcohol- and fragrance-free to minimize sensitizing ingredients
• Recommended to patch-test if you have extreme sensitivity

How should I use these toner pads in my daily skincare routine?

Use one pad after cleansing, once daily or as your skin tolerates, swiping the embossed side where you want exfoliation and the soft side to tone and hydrate. Allow the solution to absorb before applying serums or moisturizers; sunscreen is recommended during the day after using chemical exfoliants.

• Cleanse face first, then gently sweep pad across target areas
• Start with every other day if you’re new to acids, increase to daily if tolerated
• Follow with hydrating serum or moisturizer; use SPF daytime
• Do not rinse off—let ingredients absorb for best results

What is in the formula and how does it hydrate while exfoliating?

Alongside mandelic acid and gluconolactone, the pads include Aqua GG (glyceryl glucoside) to provide deep, sustained hydration with smaller molecules that complement exfoliation. That pairing helps maintain moisture balance so skin feels smoother rather than stripped after use.

• Mandelic acid (AHA) for surface exfoliation and oil control
• Gluconolactone (PHA) for gentle, low-irritation resurfacing
• Aqua GG for lasting hydration and improved skin feel
• Dual-textured pad optimizes exfoliation and product delivery

Who is this for: ALLSETUP Mandelic Acid Toner Pads are aimed at people with oily, combination, or sensitive skin who want a mild-but-effective daily exfoliant. They suit those seeking a convenient, pre-dosed option to reduce shine and refine pores without strong fragrances or drying alcohols. If you have inflammatory skin conditions or are using potent topical prescriptions, consult a dermatologist before starting chemical exfoliants.
