Allongs Korean Spa Body Peeling Pad Soft

100% Genuine (Adilsons policy) · Fragrance-Containing (not fragrance-free) · Microplastic-Free · FA-Conditional*

*FA-Conditional: contains an undisclosed fragrance blend that some fungal-acne-prone users react to on facial skin; body-only use on non-acne-prone areas is lower risk. See Section 30B.

Pros: single-use hygiene, genuinely gentler surfactant base than the rest of the line (no Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate), good entry point for first-time body-pad users or sensitive skin, no measuring or dosing required. Caveats: contains undisclosed synthetic fragrance, not strong enough for thick callused areas (see the Hard variant for that), and only 5 uses per box means frequent reordering with regular use.

GREEN-leaning YELLOW — suitable from a younger age than Hard/Pore Control, still with guidance. This is the gentlest formula in the line — no strong surfactant, only a trace level of LHA — but it still contains undisclosed synthetic fragrance and a physical texture, so a first-time patch test is worthwhile for any first-time user regardless of age.

For a household introducing a first body-exfoliation product to a teenager, this Soft variant is the more appropriate starting point over Hard or Pore Control.

Step 1 (When): Either AM or PM, in the shower, up to 2x per week.

Step 2 (How much): One full pad per session, both sides, across whatever body area needs light maintenance exfoliation.

Step 3 (How): On wet skin, gently glide the textured side over the target area for 30-60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly.

The one rule: Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

1. Wet the target area in the shower. 2. Allongs Body Peeling Pad (Soft) — glide the textured side over the area for 30-60 seconds. 3. Rinse thoroughly with warm (not hot) water. 4. Pat dry. 5. Apply a lightweight body lotion within 60 seconds of drying.

In Mauritius' humid mornings, this gentle format won't over-strip skin the way a stronger acid product might, making it a reasonable everyday-adjacent option for general body maintenance rather than a once-a-week intensive step.

1. Shower as normal. 2. Allongs Body Peeling Pad (Soft) on damp target areas, 30-60 seconds. 3. Rinse thoroughly. 4. Pat dry. 5. Apply a body lotion or cream suited to your skin's overnight needs.

This is a body-only step — if you also use a facial LHA/BHA product, the two don't meaningfully overlap since this variant's LHA is present at only trace level, but keep the general "don't stack two acid exfoliants on the same night" habit regardless. See the Conflict Solver below.

Technique: Glide gently on wet skin — this variant's soft texture means you can use slightly more pressure than you would with Hard or Pore Control, but "gentle" is still the operating word.

Required skin state: Wet/damp, in the shower — the water helps the essence spread and reduces friction.

Cotton pad vs hands fact: not applicable here — the pad itself is the applicator; there is no separate hands-vs-cotton-pad choice for this format.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Viscosity ladder: thinnest → thickest; water-phase before oil-phase; treatments before seals. Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s; serum layers 30-60s; before sunscreen 10-15 min if going outdoors or applying makeup. Hard cap rule: if the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

AM Maximum Stack (facial, for context): 1. Rinse/Gentle Cleanse, 2. pH-Prep Toner, 3. Hydrating Toner Layers, 4. Essence, 5. Mist, 6. Booster/Soothing Serum, 7. Antioxidant Lane (choose one), 8. Pigment Support Lane (choose one), 9. Hydration Serum Lane, 10. Oil-Control Lane (choose one), 11. Peptides/Repair Lane, 12. Eye Serum/Cream, 13. Moisturizer, 14. Optional Sealing Layer, 15. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable), 16. Lip SPF. In AM, prioritize comfort and SPF adherence over stacking — in high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM Maximum Stack (facial, for context): 1. Micellar pre-cleanse, 2. Oil Cleanser/Balm, 3. Water Cleanser, 4. pH-Prep Toner, 5. Hydrating Toner Layers, 6. Essence, 7. Soothing/Barrier Serum, 8. Anchor treatment product, 9. Targeted Serum, 10. Moisturizer, 11. Sleeping Mask, 12. Occlusive Seal, 13. Spot Treatment, 14. Lip Sleeping Mask. Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep "one lane" per night.

This Allongs Body Peeling Pad does not sit inside the facial map above — it is a body-only shower step. Its own placement is described in the AM/PM Routine Guides above: after wetting skin, before rinsing and moisturizing. One-lane rule applies across face and body together: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure, default to the safest lane — barrier/hydration — and reduce layers.

This is not a leave-on serum with a viscosity tier — it is a rinse-off treatment pad. It occupies the "treatment" slot in a body routine: after cleansing, before moisturizing, never under a leave-on product.

Layering rule: cleanse → exfoliate (this pad) → rinse → moisturize. Applying body lotion, oil, or sunscreen before this pad wastes product, since it will be wiped and rinsed off along with the dead skin.

Rest days: at least 2-3 days between uses on the same area — shorter than the Hard variant's rest window, since this formula is gentler, but rest days still matter.

Overuse warning: maximum 2-3x per week. Exceeding this does NOT produce faster results — even a gentle formula can strip skin with excessive frequency, especially in Mauritius' dry AC indoor air.

Prerequisites: None strictly required given how gentle this formula is, though a basic body moisturizer to follow up with is always a good habit.

Primary: Mild dead-skin buildup and general dullness on delicate or sensitive body areas — gentle physical friction lifts surface debris while Aloe and Centella extracts calm the skin during the process.

Secondary: Mild smoothing and light brightening from removing the dull surface layer.

What this product cannot do: it cannot remove thick calluses (see Hard for that), cannot clear significant back/chest congestion (see Pore Control for that), and cannot lighten your natural skin tone.

1. Lightweight body moisturizer (apply immediately after, to seal in moisture):

• Primary: DERMA: B Fresh Moisture Body Lotion 400ML — fast-absorbing, designed for humid climates, won't feel heavy under clothing.
• Alternative: THE FACE SHOP Perfume Seed Rich Body Milk 300ML — fragrant option if you prefer scented body care.
• Alternative: Beauty of Joseon Jelloskin Massage Cream 200ml — richer texture for drier skin.

2. Gentle, pH-balanced body wash (for the days you're not exfoliating):

• Primary: MONCLOS Ritual Hand & Body Wash 300ml — brand-stated pH 5.5-6.5, a sensible everyday match for sensitive skin.
• Alternative: ROUND LAB Pine Calming Cica Body Wash 400ML — soothing Cica base (limited stock — check availability).
• Alternative: Vicrea & Honey Deep Moist Gel Body Wash 500ml.
• Alternative: Vicrea & Honey Melty Moist Gel Body Wash 500ml.

Pilling note: this pad is rinsed off before any leave-on product is applied, so it does not itself cause pilling with your moisturizer — just make sure skin is fully rinsed and patted dry first.

This is a conflict-solver for ACTIVE ingredients. If you run multiple actives, use these rules to avoid irritation, deactivation, and barrier damage.

Universal rules: even though this variant's LHA is only trace-level, it still counts as an Acid Exfoliation lane if you're being strict about layering. If you break a rule, reduce frequency or alternate days rather than pushing through. If treated skin stings under moisturizer or feels tight within 30 minutes, pause all actives on that area for 3-7 days.

Same-lane redundancy: stacking this pad with a stronger body acid product (like the Hard/Pore Control pads or an AHA/BHA body lotion) on the same day, same area, is unnecessary — pick one exfoliation method per area per day.

Lane-strictness rule: do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep "one lane" per session. If unsure, default to the safest lane — barrier/hydration — and reduce layers.

MYTH: "Gentle exfoliants don't really do anything." REALITY: mechanical friction alone (even without a strong acid) genuinely lifts loose dead-skin cells — you don't need a high acid percentage to get a real, if modest, smoothing effect.

MYTH: "If it's the 'gentle' one, I can use it every day." REALITY: even gentle formulas can over-strip skin with daily frequency — 2-3x weekly is a sensible ceiling for most people.

MYTH: "All three Allongs pads are basically the same product in different boxes." REALITY: the Soft variant uses a genuinely different, gentler surfactant and essence base than Hard/Pore Control, not just a softer physical pad — it's a distinct formulation, not a repackaging.

Hard water note: in regions of Mauritius with harder tap water, a calcium-stearate film can form after rinsing — a thorough final rinse helps clear residue before it's mistaken for irritation.

*Coix seed extract's cosmetic benefits are more traditionally cited than independently clinically validated. LHA's position at the very end of the INCI (after all plant extracts) is flagged as a Fairy Dusting candidate — its inclusion may be primarily for marketing consistency across the product line rather than a meaningful active dose.

Full INCI: Water, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Methylpropanediol, Coco-Betaine, Sodium Chloride, Caprylyl Glycol, Fragrance, Polyquaternium-10, Citric Acid, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Allantoin, Betaine, Panthenol, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Butylene Glycol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-yuen Seed Extract, Sea Salt Extract, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid.

*Sourced via WebSearch result summary referencing this SKU's retailer listings, rather than the brand's own site or INCIDecoder, since those pages were not directly accessible during research — treat this list as medium confidence pending direct brand confirmation. This is a materially different formula from the shared Hard/Pore Control essence: no Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, no Sodium Hyaluronate, no ferment complex.

Preservative system: 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol and Ethylhexylglycerin form a multifunctional, paraben-free preservative/humectant blend common in modern K-beauty formulas.

Fragrance status: Synthetic Fragrance (Parfum) — present in the ingredient list with no further breakdown disclosed.

Scent: not independently described in available sources; expect a mild, likely floral/clean spa-type scent typical of the category.

EU 26 allergen screen: None of the 26 named allergens individually declared in the retailer-listed INCI; since "Fragrance" itself is undisclosed, it may still contain one or more of them without separate labeling.*

*Based on brand-declared INCI as sourced via a retailer listing. The term "Fragrance" may contain undisclosed allergens. Patch test advised for sensitive individuals.

Alcohol disclosure: No drying (ethanol-type) alcohol detected in the listed INCI.

Aspirin/salicylate sensitivity: Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA) is a salicylate derivative, though present here at only a trace level. If you have a diagnosed aspirin or salicylate allergy, patch test on a small area first or choose a plain non-acid physical body scrub instead.

Halal: *Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan: *Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No animal-derived ingredients detected. This is NOT a formal vegan certification by The Vegan Society or equivalent body.

Cruelty-Free: *No formal third-party cruelty-free certification (Leaping Bunny, PETA) was found for this brand during research. Treat any cruelty-free claim as brand-stated only, not independently certified.

Microplastic-Free: Yes — no listed polymer matches known microplastic categories (Polyquaternium-10 is a water-soluble conditioning polymer, not a microplastic exfoliating bead).

MFDS classification: General Cosmetic — no evidence found of a Functional Cosmetic registration (which would require additional Korean government efficacy testing) for this SKU.

Evidence confidence: Medium for the core mechanism (gentle physical exfoliation with an amino-acid surfactant base is well-established); Low for the LHA's practical contribution, since it sits at what appears to be a trace, sub-efficacious concentration; Low for brand-specific claims, since no independent clinical study was found for this exact product.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Conditional — the undisclosed Fragrance is the main point of caution for strictly FA-avoidant users; this formula's surfactant (Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate) is generally considered lower FA-relevance than the olefin sulfonate used in Hard/Pore Control.

Assessment: Low/None. Since this product is fully rinsed off before any other product is applied, it does not sit under a moisturizer or sunscreen the way a leave-on serum would.

Mitigation: if moisturizer applied afterward feels like it's balling up, the treated skin likely wasn't rinsed and dried thoroughly enough first — rinse again and pat fully dry before moisturizing.

Storage: keep the unopened box away from direct bathroom humidity and heat where possible, since the sealed individual pad pouches are the main barrier against the essence drying out or the preservative system degrading early.

Spoilage signs: a pouch that has visibly dried out, an off/rancid smell instead of the expected mild scent, or discoloration of the essence — discard any pad showing these signs rather than using it.

Patch test: test a small area of the target skin (inner forearm) for 24 hours before your first full session.

72-hour barrier reset: if adverse reaction occurs, STOP ALL ACTIVES on that area. For 72 hours, use ONLY gentle cleanser and plain moisturizer on the skin — no acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72h, reintroduce ONE product per 14 days.

Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty — seek emergency care.

1. Using on dry skin instead of wet — increases friction. 2. Assuming "gentle" means "use daily" — 2-3x/week is still the ceiling. 3. Skipping the post-use moisturizer. 4. Using this variant on thick callused elbows/heels expecting Hard-level results — it won't clear stubborn callus. 5. Using it immediately after shaving or waxing the same area.

Overuse threshold: more than 2-3 sessions per week on the same patch of skin risks a compromised barrier even with this gentle formula.

Usage math: 5 pads per box, roughly 1 pad per session at the recommended 2-3x-weekly frequency.

Lifespan: at 2x/week, one box lasts roughly 2.5 weeks; at 3x/week (the maximum safe frequency), roughly 1.5-2 weeks. Using it more than the recommended frequency shortens the box's life without improving results.

Reorder timing: plan to reorder about 1-2 weeks before your box runs out to account for delivery time.

This pad is a light, frequent-friendly body-care step for general maintenance exfoliation and sensitive-area use — well suited to a Mauritius climate where you shower often and want a gentle option that won't overload skin.

Routine: 1. Shower/cleanse as normal. 2. Allongs Body Peeling Pad (Soft) — 30-60 seconds on wet skin, 2-3x/week. 3. Rinse thoroughly. 4. Pat dry. 5. Apply a lightweight body lotion.

If you're new to any kind of body exfoliation: start here, not with Hard or Pore Control — this is the safest entry point in the line. If you're using this on genuinely thick callused areas: expect limited results and consider the Hard variant instead.

Bundle idea: pair with DERMA: B Fresh Moisture Body Lotion and MONCLOS Ritual Hand & Body Wash for a full gentle-maintenance combo.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with Allongs Korean Spa Body Peeling Pad (Soft), not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

If your primary concern is actually thick callused skin (elbows/knees/heels) rather than general sensitive-area maintenance: Allongs Hard Peeling Pad is built for that specific job and will outperform this gentler variant there.

Choose Allongs Soft over the Hard variant if you need: a gentler, lower-irritation-risk option for sensitive skin or general maintenance rather than targeted callus removal.

IF you have thick, visibly rough callus on elbows/knees/heels, THEN the Hard variant is the better tool for that specific job. IF your skin is reactive, thin, or you're new to body exfoliation, THEN stay with this gentler Soft formula.

Don't upgrade if: your skin is sensitive or reactive, you're a first-time body-pad user, or your only concern is general dullness rather than genuine callus — Hard's stronger mechanism is unnecessary and riskier for that.

If you match the callus-specific trigger above, the Hard variant is worth considering for that zone; otherwise, this gentler pad is sufficient and safer. Consistency beats complexity.

Within the Allongs line, Soft (this product) is the gentlest entry point for sensitive areas and general maintenance, Pore Control sits in the middle (back/chest, clogged pores), and Hard is the strongest physical texture (thick callused elbows/knees/heels). If you find Soft isn't doing enough for back/chest congestion, step up to Allongs Pore Control; for thick callus, step up to Allongs Hard.

This product's PRIMARY function is: gentle, general-maintenance physical exfoliation for sensitive or delicate body areas. You do NOT need this if you already own an unfinished gentle body scrub or exfoliating glove doing the same job — finish that first.

Stacking assessment: No Benefit if you're already using another gentle body exfoliant on the same area (same mechanism, redundant); Significant Benefit if your current routine has no gentle exfoliation step at all, or if you've been using a harsher scrub than your skin actually needs.

Allongs describes its own origin as growing out of hands-on experience at celebrity beauty salons and the Mumu Waxing Studio in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul — positioning it as a body-care specialist rather than a general facial-skincare brand. The brand's broader catalog (per its own site) extends into self-waxing and post-hair-removal aftercare, which is consistent with a salon-service background rather than a lab-first cosmetics start-up. No parent holding company or founding year was found during research — treat brand history beyond what's stated here as unconfirmed.

Community reviews for this specific product (the Soft variant) were not yet available in our research at the time of writing — search results turned up only product listing pages, not star ratings or review text. No Reddit threads (r/AsianBeauty, r/SkincareAddiction) discussing this specific product were found.

We will not invent quotes to fill this gap. If you've tried this product, we'd genuinely value your feedback to help future customers.

Sustainability: individual pouches are not designed to be refillable; check local recycling guidance for the plastic type before disposal, as this was not confirmed by the brand.

Is Soft strong enough for cracked heels? No — this variant's gentle formula is designed for delicate, sensitive-area maintenance, not thick callus removal. Use the Hard variant for that.

Is this the same essence as the Hard/Pore Control pads, just a softer pad? No — it's a genuinely different, gentler formula (a different surfactant base, no ferment complex or hyaluronic acid) at a lower LHA level, not just a softer physical texture on the same liquid.

Can I use this daily? Not recommended — even this gentle formula benefits from 2-3x/week frequency with rest days in between.

Is it fragrance-free? No — it contains an undisclosed synthetic fragrance, so it is not a fragrance-free product despite being the gentlest in the line.

What's the difference between Hard, Pore Control and Soft? Hard has the coarsest texture for elbows/knees/heels; Pore Control targets back/chest congestion and bumpy texture; Soft is the gentlest, for sensitive or delicate areas, with a distinctly different, lower-LHA formula.

LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid)

A gentler, lipophilic relative of salicylic acid (BHA) that exfoliates more slowly and with less irritation potential.

Amino-Acid Surfactant

A cleansing agent derived from amino acids (like Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate) that is generally gentler on skin's barrier than sulfate-type surfactants.

Fairy Dusting

When an ingredient appears in a product's marketing but sits at such a low concentration in the INCI list that it likely has minimal practical effect.

Barrier

The skin's outermost protective layer; over-exfoliating damages it and causes dryness or stinging.

Patch Test

Applying a small amount to a limited area first to check for a reaction before full use.

FA-Conditional

An ingredient that some fungal-acne-prone people react to, but not universally unsafe.

Non-woven Pad

A fabric-like material made without weaving threads, commonly used for single-use skincare pads.

Store Policies: For the most up-to-date information, please review our Shipping Policy and Refund Policy.

Best for: anyone wanting a gentle, low-risk introduction to body exfoliation, sensitive-skin users, or general maintenance on delicate body areas rather than targeted callus or congestion treatment.

Key benefits: genuinely gentler surfactant base than the rest of the Allongs line, soothing Aloe/Centella essence, single-use hygiene, low irritation risk.

Keep in mind: only 5 uses per box, contains undisclosed synthetic fragrance, and it is not strong enough for thick callus (Hard) or significant back/chest congestion (Pore Control) — those variants exist for those specific jobs.

Assessment: Consult Oncologist. This product contains an undisclosed synthetic fragrance, a category generally advised against on treatment-sensitized skin, even though its physical/chemical exfoliation profile is otherwise mild.

Consult your oncology care team before introducing any new skincare products during treatment.

Quick version: Week 1-2: use once or twice, on a small area only, and monitor for 48 hours. Week 3-4: if no reaction, expand to full recommended use (2-3x/week, all target areas). If irritation occurs at any point, follow the 72-Hour Barrier Reset above rather than repeating a fresh introduction schedule.

Impact: Neutral. Unlike the Hard and Pore Control essence, this Soft formula does not contain a ferment/postbiotic complex — it relies on Aloe and Centella extracts for soothing rather than fermentation-derived ingredients.
