Centella Reservoir Moisturizing Pads

The Skin Thesis: The Barrier Rebuilder & Soother

• Based on the ingredient stack (high Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, and Xanthan Gum/Carbomer), this will have a thicker, more viscous, "reservoir" like feel. It’s a soft, cushiony pad soaked in a slightly tacky (due to Hyaluronic Acid polymers) but hydrating essence. The finish will be dewy but not greasy.

This is a hydration bomb designed for repair.

• Primary Humectants: Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate (and its 6 other derivatives like Hydrolyzed HA, Crosspolymer), Glyceryl Glucoside (a superior moisturizer that activates Aquaporins), and Inositol (Vitamin B8, strengthens skin).
• Soothing & Anti-Inflammatory: Centella Asiatica Extract (the star), Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (licorice root), and Allantoin.
• Barrier Protection: Ectoin (Tetrahydroxypyrimidine Carboxylic Acid) is a major highlight here. It’s a extremolyte that protects cells from stress/environmental damage.

Ideal for sensitive, irritated, or dehydrated skin. It targets post-acne redness, sensitivity from tretinoin/retinol use, and general loss of moisture. The "Reservoir" name is accurate—it fills the skin with water and holds it there.

Finish: Dewy and Plump. Slight silicones are absent, so it relies on polymers (Carbomer) for a light film, leaving the skin feeling "bouncy."

Grapefruit Primer Moisturizing Pads

The Skin Thesis: The Brightening "Prep" Step

• The inclusion of Cyclodextrin and Dextrin suggests these pads might feel slightly less sticky than the Centella. They are designed to "prime" the skin, meaning they absorb quickly, leaving a smooth, velvety surface for subsequent skincare or makeup. The texture is a light, slightly astringent, refreshing essence.

This is a cocktail of brightening agents and antioxidants.

• Brightening Powerhouse: Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (a stable, potent Vitamin C derivative), Tranexamic Acid (targets dark spots and discoloration), and Glutathione (master antioxidant).
• Lymphatic/De-puffing: Caffeine (constricts blood vessels, reduces puffiness), Raspberry Ketone.
• Exfoliation/Citrus Stimulation: Grapefruit Extract provides natural AHAs (though mild) and antioxidants.

Targeted on dullness, uneven skin tone, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and morning puffiness. It acts as a "primer" because it brightens the skin instantly and smooths the surface for makeup.

Finish: Semi-matte to Natural Satin. The inclusion of Polyquaternium-51 (a film-former) and Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer gives it that "pore-blurring" or "makeup grip" texture.

Denosine Hydrating Moisturizing Pads

The Skin Thesis: The Firming & Anti-Wrinkle Essence

• This formula includes Hydrogenated Lecithin and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, indicating the presence of a very fine, nano-sized emulsion. The texture will be milky, slightly richer, and more emollient than the others, but still light enough for a pad. It feels like a "skin syrup" but absorbs beautifully.

This is the anti-aging specialist.

• Wrinkle Improvement: Adenosine (the star—proven to improve wrinkles), Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (a stable Vitamin C), Panthenol.
• Ceramide Delivery: Ceramide NP + Phytosterols + Hydrogenated Lecithin. This trio mimics the skin's natural lipid structure to repair the moisture barrier.
• Plumping: Collagen (surface-level hydration), multiple Hyaluronic Acids, and Allantoin.

Targeted on Loss of elasticity, fine lines, dehydration wrinkles, and mature skin. It’s for someone who wants to hydrate but also actively fight signs of aging.

Finish: Rich Glow. Not greasy, but leaves a perceptible "cushion" and high shine on the skin due to the combination of lipids and humectants.

Succinic Acid Moisturizing Pads

The Skin Thesis: The Purifying & Pore-Clarifying Solution

• Succinic Acid is the key here. It’s an organic acid (less irritating than Salicylic) that helps with sebum control. The inclusion of Protease (an enzyme that breaks down dead skin cells) and Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6 suggests a gel-like, slightly slippery texture that dries down clean.

Targeted acne and pore care without stripping the skin.

• Acne-Fighting Trio: Succinic Acid (antibacterial, sebum control), Willow Bark Extract (natural Salicylic Acid/BHA), and a potent herbal antibacterial mix (Cinnamomum Cassia, Origanum Vulgare, Scutellaria).
• Soothing the Purge: Allantoin, Portulaca Oleracea (purslane—highly anti-inflammatory), and Ceramide NP to prevent the dryness that acids usually cause.
• Microbiome Support: Lactobacillus/Soybean Ferment Extract helps balance the skin's microbiome, which is crucial for acne-prone skin.

Targeted on Oily skin, clogged pores, inflammatory acne, and textural irregularities. It’s a "moisturizing" pad for acne because it pairs actives with barrier-repairing ingredients (Ceramides, Lecithin).

Finish: Clean Matte. While it has Vitamin B12 (that reddish-pink color) and moisturizers, it will likely control oil throughout the day, leaving a fresh, non-shiny surface.

Skin Type + Skin Concern + Desired Finish

• Centella: For the Sensitive/Damaged skin type. Result: Bouncy, Quenched.
• Grapefruit: For the Dull/Uneven skin type. Result: Smooth, Primed, Bright.
• Adenosine: For the Mature/Dehydrated skin type. Result: Firm, Plump, Glazed.
• Succinic: For the Oily/Acne-Prone skin type. Result: Clarified, Balanced, Fresh.

The Hidden Gem: Look at the base formulations. They all share a core philosophy of Polyglyceride cleansers (Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate/Myristate) which are extremely gentle, and they all avoid high-risk irritants like denatured alcohol. Even the Succinic pad prioritizes barrier health (Ceramides) while purifying.

General Precautions (Applicable to all 4 Pads)

• Patch Test: Even though these formulas are generally gentle (alcohol-free, Polyglyceryl cleansers), if you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test on your inner arm or behind the ear 24 hours before first use.
• Sun Protection (Crucial for Grapefruit & Succinic):

1. Grapefruit: Contains 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and AHAs from fruit extracts. These can increase sensitivity to the sun. Always use SPF the morning after using these.
2. Succinic Acid: Contains Willow Bark Extract (BHA) and enzymes. This exfoliates the surface, making skin more susceptible to UV damage. Sunscreen is non-negotiable. 

• Avoid Eye Area: The skin around the eyes is too thin for these concentrated ingredients (especially the Succinic and Grapefruit variants). Keep the pad to the cheeks, forehead, nose, chin, and neck. Please avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with water. If any adverse reaction occurs, discontinue use immediately.  
• Sensitivity to Fragrance: All four formulas list "Fragrance" in the ingredients. If you are severely reactive to scented products, proceed with caution. The Grapefruit one likely has the strongest citrus scent due to Raspberry Ketone and Grapefruit Extract.
• Do Not Mix Harsh Actives: If you are using the Succinic Acid Pad (exfoliating), do not use it in the same routine as other strong actives like pure Retinoids, high-strength AHAs, or Benzoyl Peroxide to avoid over-exfoliation. 
• Store this product at room temperature away from light. After use, tighten the cap. Keep out of reach of infants and young children.

How to Use

Centella Reservoir (The Soother)

• When to Use: Morning and Night. Excellent after sun exposure or after using strong actives (like tretinoin) to calm the skin.
• How to Layer: Use this as your first step after washing. Because it has no oils and is pure hydration, it preps the skin for serums. Let it absorb for 30 seconds, then follow with moisturizer.
• Special Tip: For a "Reservoir" effect, you can leave the pad on specific dry patches (cheeks) as a 5-minute mask. 

Grapefruit Primer (The Brightener)

• When to Use: Best in the AM.
• Why: It contains Vitamin C (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) which protects skin from daytime pollution/blue light, and Caffeine which helps depuff morning bloating. The "Primer" effect (Polyquaternium-51) creates a smooth canvas for makeup.
• How to Layer: Use after cleansing, before your serum. If you use this in the PM, ensure you are not using it at the exact same time as strong acids (like the Succinic pad), as the high pH of Vitamin C can conflict with low-pH acids. Alternate nights instead. 

Adenosine Hydrating (The Firming)

• When to Use: Best in the PM.
• Why: This is your repair session. Adenosine works while you sleep to smooth wrinkles. The Ceramides and Lecithin help rebuild the barrier overnight. 
• How to Layer: Use this, let it absorb, and then seal it with a heavier cream or sleeping mask. Because it has oils (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride), it acts as a light emulsion; following with an occlusive will lock in the Adenosine. 

Succinic Acid (The Purifier)

• When to Use: PM only.
• Why: Exfoliation makes the skin more sensitive to light. Only use this in your nighttime routine.
• How to Layer:
• Do Not Shake: Do not shake before use. The Protease enzymes and powders can settle, but shaking isn't necessary.
• The Order: Use this immediately after cleansing on dry skin. Do not wet your face first (wet skin dilutes acids). Wait 5-10 minutes after applying this before layering other products to let the Succinic Acid and Willow Bark work.
• Spot Treatment: If you have a specific pimple, you can cut a small piece of the pad and leave it on the blemish for 10 minutes as a spot treatment. 

Final Advice

• If you want to use multiple pads (e.g., Succinic at night and Centella in the morning), that is a great strategy. However, if you try to use Grapefruit and Succinic on the same night, you might over-strip your skin. Stick to one active pad per routine.
