The MEDIHEAL Teatree Trouble Calming Pad is a cult-favorite Korean toner pad specifically formulated to calm irritated, blemish-prone skin, delivering targeted tea tree complex to reduce redness and manage oil production effectively.

What It Is

The MEDIHEAL Teatree Trouble Calming Pad is a daily use, pre-soaked toner pad designed for reactive and congested skin. It effectively addresses redness, excess sebum, and minor breakouts by delivering a concentrated blend of calming ingredients. Unlike many astringent pads, these prioritize soothing and hydration while still offering targeted blemish care, making them suitable for consistent use without over-drying or stripping the skin.

Key Ingredients

• Tea Tree Complex (Tea Tree Leaf Extract, Tea Tree Leaf Oil, 4-Terpineol): A potent blend known for its purifying and anti-inflammatory properties, effective in calming breakouts and reducing redness.
• Lactobionic Acid (PHA): A gentle exfoliant that removes dead skin cells and refines skin texture without irritation, suitable for sensitive skin.
• Centella Asiatica Extract (Cica): Renowned for its healing and soothing capabilities, it helps to repair the skin barrier and alleviate irritation.
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): A humectant and emollient that attracts and holds moisture, while also supporting skin barrier repair and reducing inflammation.

The formulation is free of common irritants like artificial fragrance, parabens, and drying alcohol. Its slightly acidic pH (around 5.5-6.0) respects the skin's natural barrier, ensuring it calms rather than disrupts sensitive skin, promoting overall skin health.
