These glycolic acid pads contain a 35% concentration of AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) in the form of glycolic acid, a water-soluble exfoliant known for its ability to dissolve intercellular bonds between dead skin cells. This formula is designed for facial and body use as a resurfacing treatment to promote smoother, more even-toned skin. Each pre-moistened pad delivers a measured amount of solution for direct application, allowing for controlled exfoliation without the need for additional tools or rinsing in some cases.

The primary function of these pads is chemical exfoliation, which can help reduce the appearance of rough texture, clogged pores, and uneven pigmentation. They are commonly used for addressing keratosis pilaris (KP), a condition characterized by small, bumpy patches often on the arms or thighs. The exfoliating action may also assist in preventing and treating ingrown hairs by keeping the follicles clear of debris. Additionally, the formula is intended to brighten the skin over time by accelerating cell turnover and revealing fresher layers underneath.

These pads are best suited for individuals with skin that has built a tolerance to exfoliating acids, as 35% glycolic acid is a higher strength and may cause irritation if used incorrectly. It is recommended to patch test before full application and to follow with sunscreen during the day, as exfoliated skin becomes more sensitive to UV exposure. The product is priced to offer an accessible option for those seeking a potent exfoliating treatment without premium retail markup. For best results, use once per day or as directed, avoiding contact with eyes and broken skin.
