Exfoliating pads for smoother-feeling skin at home, in three types: Original, Sensitive and Peeling.
The pads carry gentle exfoliating acids that loosen the bonds between dead cells on the skin's surface, so they shed more evenly and skin feels smoother.
Original for everyday use, Sensitive made gentler, and Peeling for a deeper exfoliation.
Exfoliating acids can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day while using the pads and for a week after stopping, as the US FDA advises.
01On clean, dry skin, sweep one pad over the face, avoiding the eyes, lips and any broken or irritated skin. Patch-test first if your skin is sensitive.
Start with a few evenings a week and increase only if your skin stays comfortable. Follow with a moisturiser.
Wear sunscreen every day while using the pads, and stop if stinging, redness or peeling persists.
Scientists from the US FDA and National Cancer Institute explain how hydroxy acids exfoliate the skin, note that polyhydroxy acids act similarly with less irritation, and flag that glycolic acid can increase sensitivity to UV light.
Limits: A narrative review; the authors say safety evidence is still limited and products vary in strength and pH.
