EQQUALBERRY SWIMMING POOL TONER PADS 220ML

Drench your skin in refreshing hydration while gently sweeping away dullness with these innovative toner pads. Inspired by the deep, cool moisture of a swimming pool, this formula combines next-generation exfoliants with powerful hydrators to leave your skin feeling smooth, plump, and perfectly balanced—ideal for Mauritius' humid climate.

If your skin feels dehydrated but gets oily, or looks dull with a rough texture, these pads are your perfect daily reset. They offer a convenient, all-in-one step to hydrate, gently exfoliate, and prep your skin for the rest of your routine.

• Who it's for: Best suited for normal, combination, and oily skin types. Also beneficial for dehydrated skin needing a lightweight moisture boost.
• What to expect: An immediate cooling and refreshing sensation. With consistent use, expect smoother skin texture, less visible pore congestion, and a balanced, hydrated glow.
• Texture & Scent: A thin, watery essence soaked into dual-sided cotton pads. Formulated to be fragrance-free.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face using your favourite gentle cleanser.
2. Tone & Exfoliate: Take one pad. Gently wipe your entire face with the embossed side, avoiding the eye area. Flip the pad over and use the soft side to pat in the remaining essence for better absorption.
3. Protect (AM) or Moisturise (PM): Follow with your daily sunscreen in the morning or a suitable moisturiser in the evening.

Mindful Tip: If you already have an exfoliating toner, consider using these pads on alternate days to avoid over-exfoliation. Substitute, don't stack!

• Amount: Use one pre-soaked pad per application.
• Frequency: Gentle enough for daily use, either in the morning (AM), evening (PM), or both. If you have sensitive skin or are new to exfoliants, start by using it once a day or every other day.
• Method:
  1. After cleansing, use the included tongs to pick up a single pad.
  2. With the embossed (textured) side, gently sweep across your face, starting from the center and moving outwards. This helps to physically exfoliate and clear away impurities.
  3. Flip the pad to the soft (smooth) side and gently pat the remaining essence into your skin to boost hydration and absorption.
  4. You can also use it as a mini-mask by placing the soft side on areas needing extra hydration (like cheeks) for 3-5 minutes.
• Where: Apply to the face and neck, avoiding the delicate skin around the eyes and lips.

Beginner Tip: Don't rinse off! The essence is a leave-on treatment. Let it absorb for about 30-60 seconds before applying your next skincare step, like a serum or moisturiser.

Because these pads contain gentle exfoliants (PHA & LHA), it's wise to be mindful when using them alongside stronger actives. Here’s an example schedule for someone also using a retinoid:

• Monday (AM/PM): Use EQQUALBERRY Toner Pads.
• Tuesday (PM): Retinoid night. Skip the toner pads in the evening to avoid potential irritation. Use a simple hydrating toner instead.
• Wednesday (AM/PM): Use EQQUALBERRY Toner Pads.
• Thursday (PM): Retinoid night. Skip the toner pads in the evening.
• Friday (AM/PM): Use EQQUALBERRY Toner Pads.
• Saturday (AM/PM): Use EQQUALBERRY Toner Pads. Maybe add a calming sheet mask in the evening.
• Sunday (PM): Rest & Hydrate. Skip all actives and focus on a nourishing moisturiser or sleeping pack.

The Golden Rule: Avoid using multiple exfoliating products or strong actives in the same routine. Listen to your skin; if you experience any redness or sensitivity, reduce the frequency.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly refreshed, cooled, and hydrated. Any surface tightness from cleansing is relieved.
• After 2-4 Weeks: You may notice a smoother skin texture as the gentle daily exfoliation helps to clear away dead skin cells and minor bumps. Skin feels more balanced and less dehydrated.
• After 8+ Weeks: With consistent use, pores may appear less congested, and your overall complexion looks brighter and more even-toned. The skin's hydration levels are more stable, helping to manage excess oil production.

Myth: "I need a harsh, grainy scrub to get smooth skin and clear my pores."

Reality: Aggressive physical scrubs (like those with large, jagged particles like sugar or crushed pits) can create micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation, a damaged skin barrier, and even worsening hyperpigmentation (dark spots). These pads offer a smarter alternative.

The Replacement: The EQQUALBERRY Toner Pads use a dual approach. The embossed side provides very gentle physical exfoliation, while the essence contains PHA and LHA—mild chemical exfoliants that dissolve dead skin cells without abrasive scrubbing. This method respects your skin barrier while effectively smoothing texture and clearing pores over time.

• ✅ Works Well With:
  • Hydrators: Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Beta-Glucan. Layering these will boost the hydrating effects.
  • Brighteners: Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Alpha Arbutin. These pads prep the skin, allowing brightening serums to absorb more effectively.
  • Soothing Ingredients: Centella Asiatica (Cica), Panthenol, Aloe Vera. Excellent for pairing to ensure a calm, happy barrier.
• ⚠️ Use With Caution:
  • Other Exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs): Using these pads in the same routine as another acid toner or peel can lead to over-exfoliation. It's best to alternate them on different days.
  • Retinoids (Retinol, Tretinoin): If you have resilient skin, you might be able to use the pads before a retinoid. However, for most people, it's safer to use them on non-retinoid nights to minimise the risk of irritation.

• 🟢 Ideal For:
  • Oily & Combination Skin: Provides lightweight, non-greasy hydration while helping to control sebum and keep pores clear.
  • Normal Skin: A great daily step to maintain smooth texture and balanced hydration.
• 🟡 Good For:
  • Dehydrated Skin: Offers an excellent layer of water-based hydration to plump the skin before sealing with a moisturiser.
  • Acne-Prone Skin: The gentle exfoliation can help prevent clogged pores and minor breakouts without the harshness of stronger acne treatments.
• 🔴 Use With Caution:
  • Very Sensitive or Rosacea-Prone Skin: While formulated to be gentle, any product with exfoliating properties can be a potential trigger. Some users have reported irritation. A patch test is essential. Start by using it only 2-3 times per week.

These toner pads are formulated to help with:

• Dehydration: Instantly replenishes the skin's water content after cleansing.
• Dullness & Lack of Glow: Gently lifts away dead skin cells that cause a dull appearance, revealing a brighter complexion.
• Rough or Uneven Skin Texture: The combination of gentle physical and chemical exfoliation helps to smooth out bumpy or rough patches over time.
• Excess Sebum & Clogged Pores: Helps to manage oiliness and keep pores clear of debris that can lead to blackheads and breakouts.

Key Ingredients Explained:

• PHA (Gluconolactone): A very gentle chemical exfoliant. Its larger molecular size means it penetrates the skin more slowly, reducing the potential for irritation compared to AHAs. It also acts as a humectant, helping to hydrate the skin.
• LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid): A derivative of salicylic acid that is also very gentle. It has a pH close to the skin's natural pH, making it less irritating. It exfoliates and helps to decongest pores.
• "Swimming Pool Moist Formula" (Betaine, Xylitol, Hyaluronic Acid): A blend of powerful humectants that draw moisture into the skin, providing deep and lasting hydration for a plump, dewy feel.

Full INCI List:

Water, Dipropylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Sodium PCA, Hydroxyacetophenone, Octyldodeceth-16, Hydroxyethyl Urea, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Sodium Citrate, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Gluconolactone, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol, Xylitol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Glucose, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate.

• Scent Profile: This product is formulated to be fragrance-free and does not contain any added artificial fragrances or essential oils. It has a neutral, barely-there scent from its base ingredients.
• EU Allergen Status: None of the 26 declarable EU allergens are listed in the official ingredient list.

While this product is designed for gentle, daily use, it's always best practice to be cautious when introducing any new product, especially one with exfoliating ingredients.

• Patch Test First: Before using on your full face, apply the essence from one pad to a small, discreet area of skin (like behind your ear or on your jawline). Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
• For Sensitive Skin: Although rare, some users with highly sensitive skin have reported itching or rashes. If your skin is reactive, we strongly recommend starting slow—use the pads only 2-3 times a week and monitor your skin's response before increasing to daily use.
• General Precautions: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Do not use on broken or irritated skin. If a persistent rash or irritation occurs, stop using the product and consult a specialist. Keep out of reach of children.

• Texture: A lightweight, watery essence with no stickiness or residue. The dual-sided cotton pads are soft yet durable.
• Feel on Skin: Delivers an immediate cooling and refreshing sensation. It absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling hydrated, smooth, and prepped for the next step.
• pH Level: The formulation is expected to have a slightly acidic pH to support the function of the exfoliating acids (PHA & LHA) and maintain the skin's natural acid mantle.

• Issue: "My skin feels itchy or I see a rash after using the pads."
  • Solution: Stop using the product immediately. This is a sign of sensitivity or an allergic reaction. [cite_start]A small number of users on Reddit have reported this[cite: 2448]. Give your skin a break from all active ingredients and focus on a simple routine with a gentle cleanser and a barrier-repairing moisturiser for a few days. Always patch test new products in the future.
• Issue: "The pads feel a bit dry towards the end of the jar."
  • Solution: Make sure the lid is screwed on tightly after every use to prevent the essence from evaporating. You can also store the jar upside down for a few hours (with the lid securely on!) to help re-saturate the top pads.
• Issue: "I'm not seeing any results."
  • Solution: This is a very gentle product. Results like smoother texture and clearer pores are gradual. Ensure you're using it consistently for at least 4-6 weeks. Also, make sure you are protecting your results by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen every single day.

These toner pads are an excellent match for the warm and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humidity-Friendly Hydration: The watery, non-greasy essence provides a burst of hydration that feels refreshing and light, never heavy or sticky, even on the most humid days.
• Pore & Sebum Management: The gentle daily exfoliation is perfect for helping to prevent the clogged pores and excess oil that can be triggered by our tropical weather, sweat, and daily sunscreen use.
• Post-Beach Soothing: The cooling sensation can feel incredibly soothing on skin that has been exposed to the sun and sea salt. Keep the jar in the fridge for an extra cooling treat after a day outdoors!

"It’s super hydrating and very gently exfoliating. I use it daily in the AM and it gives me a nice glow without any irritation. I have combo skin and it doesn't make my T-zone oily at all."
— Paraphrased from a Reddit review, r/AsianBeauty (2024)

"I really wanted to love this... but unfortunately it gave me an itchy rash. I have sensitive, eczema-prone skin, so maybe the exfoliants were too much for me even though they are gentle. Definitely patch test!"

Can I use these toner pads every day?
