The Hero Ingredient
AHA + BHA + PHA — three exfoliating acids, one fermented essence.
AHA lifts dead surface cells. BHA dissolves into pores and clears the sebum congestion that holds blackheads in place. PHA — the largest molecule of the three — conditions the barrier rather than penetrating, so the trio exfoliates without stripping.
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate carries them all. The ferment is the foundation of the Korean essence tradition — naturally rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that brighten and even tone over weeks of daily use.
3 Acids
AHA + BHA + PHA — three exfoliating acids layered for surface, pore, and barrier
Galactomyces
Ferment Filtrate — the Korean essence base that carries actives and brightens tone
Daily
Use frequency — formulated gentle enough for everyday rotation
The Ritual
One pad. One pass. Then patience.
Use as the second step after cleansing. The acids resurface gently — tone evens and texture smooths over two to three weeks of daily use, not overnight.
02
Flip for the second pass.
Turn the pad over for a fresh side. Press into stubborn zones — pores, scarring, dead-skin patches. The acids do the work; do not scrub.
03
Wait 60 seconds, then layer.
Let the essence absorb before serum. Always finish with moisturizer — and SPF the next morning, since exfoliated skin is more photo-sensitive.
Ingredient Evidence
What the formula is built on.
Plankton Essence Pad Extra layers three exfoliating acid classes — AHA for surface, BHA for pores, PHA for barrier — inside a Galactomyces ferment base. Each acid solves a different problem; the ferment carries them all.
AHA
Glycolic + Lactic acids — surface exfoliation for dullness and dead skin
BHA
Salicylic Acid — oil-soluble, dissolves into pores to clear congestion
PHA
Gluconolactone — gentle barrier-conditioning acid for sensitive skin
Galactomyces
Korean ferment essence — the brightening base proven across decades of K-beauty
Numbers reflect formulation parameters and published acid mechanisms — not a Snow Blanc consumer trial. Daily-use acids increase sun sensitivity; SPF the next morning is non-negotiable.
The Formula
Everything that's in. Nothing that isn't.
Hero ingredients
Glycolic Acid + Lactic Acid (AHA) — water-soluble surface exfoliators that lift dead cells, brighten tone, and smooth fine texture.
Salicylic Acid (BHA) — oil-soluble; dissolves into the pore lining to clear sebum and prevent blackheads.
Gluconolactone (PHA) — large-molecule gentle acid; conditions the barrier instead of penetrating.
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate — Korean ferment essence, rich in amino acids and minerals; carries actives and brightens tone.
Niacinamide + Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 — niacinamide evens tone; the peptide supports fine-line smoothing.

How to use
After cleansing, take one pad. Glide gently across face and neck. Flip for a second pass on stubborn zones. Wait 60 seconds before layering serum and moisturizer. Always apply SPF the following morning — exfoliated skin is more photo-sensitive.
Pregnancy & sensitivity
Contains AHA, BHA, and PHA. For sensitive skin, patch test on the inner forearm 24 hours before first full-face use, and start every other day. If you are pregnant or nursing, salicylic acid (BHA) use in skincare should be reviewed with your physician before continuing.
