Your pore routine is missing one step — and it's the one that actually unclogs them.
Most toner pads deliver acid actives to the surface. They can't address spicule buildup below it — the crystalline micro-particles that physically expand pores from within. The BP Pore Pad combines 1.5% AHA/BHA/PHA/LHA with Bio-Spicule (Hydrolyzed Sponge) in a physical mesh format that targets pore congestion from both directions simultaneously.
Dr.Melaxin BP Pore Exfoliating Toner Pad
Bio-Spicule Mesh · 4-Acid Exfoliation · 0.00 Irritation Score · 70 Pads
Formulated under the review of our Licensed Korean Pharmacist & Certified Cosmetic Formulation Manager, these 70 pads feature a spicule-embedded mesh on one side (physical exfoliation + pore defense) and a soft cotton side (active delivery + soothing) — with 1.5% combined AHA, BHA, PHA, and LHA acids in the saturating toner solution for multi-layer keratin dissolution.
Designed to take visible pore improvement from a weekly ritual to a daily, gentle routine — confirmed with a 0.00 irritation score on human skin application testing.
First Results You'll Notice
AFTER REMOVING
Skin feels immediately smoother, softer, and more refined — dead skin cells are dissolved; pores feel less congested
NEXT MORNING
Skin appears brighter and more even-toned; Niacinamide and the Lactobacillus ferment complex begin visible pore-calming
AFTER 1 WEEK
Pores look visibly smaller and more refined; dead skin buildup that previously caused bumpy texture is consistently cleared
"I've been using acid pads for months but my pores still look congested. What's missing from my routine?"
Our Certified Cosmetic Formulation Manager & Licensed Korean Pharmacist explains: chemical exfoliation addresses the stratum corneum but doesn't account for sub-surface spicule congestion that physically widens pore openings. This pad solves both: the spicule-embedded mesh (Hydrolyzed Sponge) provides physical micro-contact within pore channels, while 1.5% combined acids (Citric Acid/AHA + Betaine Salicylate/BHA + Gluconolactone/PHA + Capryloyl Salicylic Acid/LHA) dissolve dead keratin from above — all with zero detected irritation on skin application testing.
Your Skin Timeline
Days 1–3
Skin feels consistently smoother after each use. Dead skin buildup is cleared effectively by the dual-action mesh + acid combination. Pores feel less congested after just a few applications.
Week 1
Pore appearance is visibly refined. Skin tone brightens as old keratin buildup is consistently cleared. Niacinamide begins to regulate sebum in pore channels.
Week 2
Bio-Spicule defense layer is established; pores appear noticeably tighter. The Lactobacillus ferment complex supports a balanced skin microbiome, reducing the frequency of pore congestion between uses.
Week 4
Skin texture is significantly smoother; pore channels are consistently clear; skin tone is more even and brighter. Adenosine supports cellular renewal for long-term skin refinement. Individual results may vary.
Key Actives
4-Acid Exfoliation System
INCI: Citric Acid (AHA) + Betaine Salicylate (BHA) + Gluconolactone (PHA) + Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA) | 1.5% total
Multi-Depth ExfoliationAHA dissolves surface dead cells, BHA penetrates into pores, PHA (gentle for sensitive skin) exfoliates with additional moisturizing, and LHA (lipo-soluble BHA) targets deeper intercellular cement — together clearing dead skin from the stratum corneum through to pore openings.
Bio-Spicule Mesh (Hydrolyzed Sponge)
INCI: Hydrolyzed Sponge | Embedded in mesh pad
Physical Pore DefenseThe textured mesh side physically dislodges pore congestion while the Hydrolyzed Sponge ingredient forms a barrier against further spicule migration — addressing pore enlargement from within.
Lactobacillus Ferment Complex
INCI: Lactobacillus Ferment + Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate
Microbiome BalanceProbiotic ferment and ferment lysate support a balanced skin microbiome — reducing the bacterial imbalance that contributes to ongoing pore congestion and breakouts.
Niacinamide + Adenosine
INCI: Niacinamide + Adenosine
Brightening + RenewalNiacinamide regulates sebum and brightens post-pore marks; Adenosine supports skin cell renewal for long-term pore refinement and improved skin density.
Skin Type Guide
Oily / Enlarged Pores
Ideal — BHA + LHA penetrate oil-filled pores; Niacinamide regulates sebum production for sustained pore refinement
Sensitive / PHA-Seeking
PHA (Gluconolactone) makes this appropriate for more sensitive skin that can't tolerate strong AHA alone; confirmed 0.00 irritation score
Combination
Multi-acid formula addresses both oily T-zone congestion and drier areas that need gentle exfoliation simultaneously
Dull / Textured
AHA (Citric Acid) delivers immediate brightening by clearing surface dead skin; Snow Mushroom and fruit extracts add additional glow
Acne-Prone
BHA + Tea Tree + Lactobacillus ferments target the bacterial and keratinization factors behind acne; clears congestion that feeds breakouts
All Skin Types
70-pad count is designed for daily use — 0.00 irritation score confirms this is gentle enough for consistent daily application on all skin types
One Unexpected Use Case
Korean estheticians use spicule pads as a targeted prep step before facial treatments — specifically on the nose and chin where oil glands are most active. Applying the pad in gentle circular motions with the mesh side on these zones immediately before a mask treatment opens the pore channels for deeper active penetration. The result: whatever mask or serum you apply afterward absorbs more effectively.
Pore care shouldn't be a weekly event. With 70 pads, it's a daily practice that compounds.
Why Our Pharmacist Chose This
Licensed Korean Pharmacist & Certified Cosmetic Formulation Manager: "The four-acid combination here is formulated with genuine attention to acid depth and tolerance. AHA works at the surface, BHA is lipophilic and penetrates oily pores, PHA provides chemical exfoliation with superior gentleness (it's a large molecule that works at a shallower depth), and LHA is the most lipophilic of the salicylates — reaching the deepest pore zones with minimal irritation. The Bio-Spicule mesh physical component on top of this means you're getting simultaneous chemical and physical pore clearing. The 0.00 irritation score on human application testing is a meaningful data point I specifically verified before listing."

What Customers Notice
"My nose pores have been a constant issue for years. After two weeks of daily use, my pores are visibly smaller and my foundation applies much more smoothly — the texture change is real."
— Verified Customer, Oily/Enlarged Pores
"I've had bad experiences with acid pads irritating my skin before. This one had zero redness, zero sting — and the exfoliation is actually noticeable. I can use it daily without any issues."
— Verified Customer, Sensitive Skin
"I use the mesh side on my nose and the cotton side on the rest of my face every evening. Skin is consistently brighter and the recurring congestion I had under my chin has basically gone. 70 pads is a great value for what this does."
— Verified Customer, Combination Skin

Frequently Asked Questions
Which side of the pad should I use?
The textured mesh side (containing the embedded Bio-Spicule) is for physical exfoliation and pore congestion targeting — use this on oilier, more congested zones like the nose, chin, and forehead. The smooth cotton side is for swiping the acid toner across the full face for chemical exfoliation and active delivery. Many users use the mesh side focused on pore-problem areas, then flip and use the cotton side to swipe the whole face.
Can I use these every day?
Yes — the formula is confirmed with a 0.00 irritation score on human skin application testing. The inclusion of PHA (Gluconolactone), which is the gentlest of the four acids, and the Lactobacillus ferment and Panthenol make this suitable for daily use. That said, if you have very sensitive or compromised skin, start with 3–4 times per week and build up to daily as your skin adjusts.
What's the difference between AHA, BHA, PHA, and LHA?
AHA (Citric Acid) is water-soluble and works at the skin surface, dissolving dead skin cell bonds. BHA (Betaine Salicylate) is oil-soluble and penetrates into pore channels to clear sebum and congestion from within. PHA (Gluconolactone) is a next-generation large-molecule acid that exfoliates gently at the surface — ideal for sensitive skin. LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid) is a lipophilic salicylic acid derivative that reaches deeper pore structures with high stability and low irritation. Together, they address exfoliation at four different depths and skin layers.
Do I need to rinse after using these pads?
No — these are leave-on toner pads. After swiping, allow the skin to dry naturally for 30–60 seconds, then continue with your serum and moisturizer. The acid concentration (1.5% combined) is formulated to be effective without requiring a rinse step.
Can I use these with retinol or other exfoliants?
We recommend not combining with other direct exfoliants in the same routine. If you use retinol, use these pads in the morning and retinol at night (or alternate evenings). Overuse of exfoliants can compromise the skin barrier even with gentle formulations. Always follow with SPF in the morning when using any exfoliant.
When in my routine should these be used?
Use after cleansing, in place of toner — these pads combine toning and exfoliation in one step. Swipe the pad (mesh side for targeted areas, cotton side for the full face) on clean, dry skin. Wait 30–60 seconds, then apply serum, moisturizer, and SPF (morning) or moisturizer (evening).
How to Use
- When: After cleansing, morning and/or evening — in place of toner. Suitable for daily use (0.00 irritation score confirmed).
- How much: One pad per use. Each pad is individually saturated with the full toner solution.
- Application: Use the mesh side on congested pore areas (nose, chin, T-zone) in gentle circular motions. Then flip to the smooth cotton side and swipe across the rest of the face. Do not scrub vigorously.
- Layering order: Cleanser → This Pad (in place of toner) → Serum/Ampoule → Moisturizer → SPF (AM only)
- Patch test: Before first use, apply a single pad to the inner forearm or behind the ear for 24 hours. Discontinue if irritation occurs. Always follow with SPF during daytime use when using any exfoliant.
