Much loved Korean beauty brand belif just introduced their Aqua Bomb PHA Exfoliating Toner Pads, and they totally deliver on their ambitious promise to exfoliate, tone and hydrate. They can be used a few times a week — or as often as twice a day, which is good, because after just a few uses, I found myself instinctively reaching for them morning and night. I love the gentle tingle from the hydrating toner in these pre-soaked rounds, and the way they leave my skin super moist, with a squeaky-clean glow.
A few quick swipes in the morning wakes up my skin and leaves it so silky smooth it almost looks like I have a highlighter on. The deep moisture is thanks to the formula’s ultra-hydrating Aqua Bomb, which centers around a cocktail of nourishing herbs like Lady’s mantle, Chickweed, and Nettle leaf.
The herbal remedies are no afterthought, but rather the basis for belif’s entire product line. Licensed from centuries-old Scottish herbal apothecary Napiers, the all-natural tonics are combined with modern Korean skin science, for products that are not only effective but also free of toxic chemicals and animal origin ingredients. belif’s Aqua Bomb PHA Exfoliating Toner Pads are 100% cotton and soaked with 2% Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA), to remove dead skin, for a smoother and brighter-looking complexion. Hyaluronic acid, Panthenol (Vitamin B5), and the patented Aqua Bomb herbal formula give skin a hydration boost. Soothing Centella Asiatica (CICA) helps prevent any redness or irritation from the PHA.
I am fortunate enough to test out tons of beauty products and the truth is most of the end up at the back of my shelf half-used, or worse, in the donation pile. But these toner pads are in full rotation in my routine. I like them so much that I’m tempted to try out belif’s True Cream Aqua Bomb next.
