Reading the product guidance helps tailor usage to your personal routine.

Opt for unscented options when available and perform a patch test on a small skin area before full-face use.

If you have sensitive or reactive skin, centella and hydrating pads are typically gentler choices, while vitamin-rich brightening pads should be introduced gradually to monitor tolerance.

For example, use centella or hydrating pads on most days for soothing moisture, and reserve brighter or exfoliating pads for specific evenings. This approach helps you gain the benefits of each active ingredient without overwhelming the skin’s barrier.
