Navigating the world of skin care is tough, and this is especially the case when it comes to sensitive skin and controlling acne, right? The AC CTRL Deep Green Calming Pad was made to satisfy sensitive skin needs while still being great for all skin types.
The main ingredients of the AC CTRL Deep Green Calming Pad: naturally-derived green enzyme papain, found in the leaves, latex, roots and fruit of the papaya -- this helps to exfoliate the skin by removing sebum and dead skin cells -- and peppermint oil & extract, which has been used for ages as a way to treat skin irritation and itching.
Why use it: the Pad is a great way to deliver an extra dose of our ingredients to a problem area before our AC Control Deep Mask for an overall boost for your skin.
SOME HAVE ASKED: why is it green? Good question. The green enzyme papain extracted from papaya is the reason. Papain naturally interrupts sebum oxidation to purify the skin and take away dead skin cells.
Did you know that using a highly-concentrated dosage of oil on the skin can actually cause irritation to the skin? The AC CTRL Deep Green Calming pad is ideal if you don't want to expose your skin to a high-concentration of peppermint oil while still applying it to specific parts of your skin which would benefit from it.
It's a win-win for specific and daily skin care treatment!
