NARD Heartleaf AHA BHA PHA Peeling Pad

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-10-01

What is this product?

NARD Heartleaf AHA BHA PHA Peeling Pad is a 120 ml, 70-sheet two-faced toner pad from a Korean brand, positioned for exfoliation and soothing. Its printed list has 57 entries, led by water and humectants, with panthenol and niacinamide near the top, then a herb extract block, three acid-class entries printed at 10 ppm each, five hyaluronate names and five ceramide names. No fragrance entry is printed. The brand's eleven-herb and three-exfoliant counts do not map cleanly onto the list.

What makes it different?

A pad whose acid-class entries (citric acid, gluconolactone and salicylic acid) are each printed at 10 ppm while the product name leads with AHA, BHA and PHA, set inside a humectant, panthenol, ceramide and herb extract base. The embossed and flat faces add a mechanical wipe, and the irritation test it cites does not name the tested product.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 1 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
