No, and that is deliberate. There are no AHAs or BHAs anywhere in the formula and the gauze is soft rather than scrubby, so there is no tingle and nothing abrasive. It leans on centella and niacinamide to soothe instead. If you already use an acid elsewhere in your routine, this will not stack another one on top of it.

Can I use it on an active spot?

Better not to. This is a recovery-stage step, and dragging a pad across skin that is open or sore is uncomfortable and unnecessary. Wait until the spot has closed and settled, then start working on the mark it leaves. If skin is broken or genuinely painful, that is a question for a clinician rather than for a pad.

How is the mask method different from a normal sweep?

A sweep is the everyday version: one pad, a few seconds, then the rest of your routine. The mask method uses two or three pads pressed onto specific areas and left in place for several minutes, which keeps the essence against skin for longer. Most people sweep daily and reach for the mask when one area needs extra attention.

Which centella ingredients are in it?

All four of the centella compounds people usually look for appear on the ingredient list: madecassoside, asiaticoside, madecassic acid and asiatic acid. Centella asiatica extract, root extract and leaf extract are listed as well. Alongside them sit niacinamide, allantoin, and dipotassium glycyrrhizate, which is derived from licorice root.

Is a hundred pads good value?

It depends how you use them. As a daily one-pad sweep, a hundred pads is roughly three months of use. As a mask, two or three pads at a time, it goes considerably faster. Plenty of people alternate between the two, a single pad most days and the mask method once or twice a week, which lands somewhere in between.

PRODUCT DETAILS

MEDIHEAL Madecassoside Blemish Pad is a soaked cotton pad for the stage after a blemish has calmed down, when what is left behind is a mark and a patch of rough, uneven texture. Each 67mm gauze pad is large enough to sweep a whole cheek or forehead in one pass.

The essence is built around centella. Madecassoside sits alongside asiaticoside, madecassic acid and asiatic acid, with niacinamide, allantoin and licorice-derived dipotassium glycyrrhizate. It is a soothing formula rather than an exfoliating one, so there is no acid tingle and no grit.

Use it as a quick daily sweep, or press two or three pads onto the areas you want to focus on and leave them for a few minutes as a short mask. The rounded corners sit flat against the curve of the face, which makes the mask step practical rather than fiddly.

It suits skin that is past the sore stage and into the patient one. If a blemish is still open or sore, this is not the step for it.

Concerns & Benefits

Your Concerns

1
Acne Scars
The mark a spot leaves behind long after the spot itself has gone quiet.
2
Texture
Patches that feel rough and bumpy under your fingers even when nothing is inflamed.

How To Use

1After cleansing, take one pad and sweep it gently over the face, textured side down.
2For a focused step, press two or three pads onto the forehead, cheeks or chin and leave them for five to ten minutes.
3Remove the pads and pat in whatever is left on the skin rather than rinsing it off.
4Follow with your usual serum and moisturiser.
5Use morning or evening. Skip any blemish that is still open or sore.

Frequently asked questions

What is a blemish pad actually for?

It is aimed at the stage after a spot has calmed, when the spot itself is gone but a darker mark and a patch of rough texture are still there. That stage tends to be slow, and it is where people lose patience. A soaked pad is a low-effort way to keep the area conditioned daily without adding another bottle to the routine.
