FAQs
How often should I use these pads?
Start by using the pads once or twice a week. As your skin builds tolerance, you can gradually increase the frequency to every other night, or as directed by a skincare professional. Listen to your skin and adjust as needed.
Can I use these pads on other parts of my body?
Yes, these pads can be used on other areas of the body needing exfoliation, such as the décolletage, shoulders, or back, to address concerns like bumps, texture, or acne. However, always patch test first and use caution on sensitive body areas.
What is the benefit of Vitamins B5, C, and E in the pads?
These vitamins act as antioxidants. Vitamin C helps brighten and protect against environmental damage, Vitamin E moisturizes and aids in skin repair, and Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) provides hydration and soothes the skin, helping to balance the potent effects of glycolic acid.
Are these pads suitable for all skin types?
These pads contain 20% glycolic acid, making them potent. They are best suited for normal to oily, and resilient skin types. Individuals with very sensitive, dry, or compromised skin should use them with caution, start slowly, and perform a patch test. Consult a dermatologist if you have concerns.
Can I use makeup or other skincare products after applying the pad?
Yes, after the solution has absorbed into the skin (usually after a minute or two), you can apply your serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen (if using in the morning). If using at night, follow with your regular nighttime skincare routine.
What is the purpose of the textured pads?
The textured surface helps to enhance the physical exfoliation as you swipe the pad across your skin, working in conjunction with the chemical exfoliation provided by the glycolic acid. The finger notch ensures a secure grip for precise application.
How should I store the product?
Store the jar in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. It's crucial to keep the lid tightly sealed after each use to prevent the pads from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Skin feels sensitive or experiences mild redness after use.
Reduce the frequency of application to once or twice a week. Ensure you are not using other strong exfoliants on the same night. Apply a soothing moisturizer after the product has absorbed.
Pads seem dry or less saturated.
Ensure the jar lid is tightly sealed after every use. Store the jar upright in a cool, dark place. If dryness persists, contact customer support.
No noticeable improvement after several weeks.
Ensure you are using the pads consistently as directed. Glycolic acid requires time to show results; continue use for at least 4-8 weeks. Consider if other factors in your routine might be counteracting the effects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Open the jar carefully.
- Remove one textured pad.
- Gently swipe the pad over a clean, dry face, avoiding the immediate eye area. Start with once or twice a week and gradually increase frequency as tolerated.
- Allow the solution to absorb before applying other skincare products.
Compatibility:
- These pads are generally compatible with most skincare routines but should be used with caution alongside other strong actives like retinoids or harsh scrubs to avoid over-exfoliation.
- Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full facial application, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Care:
- Store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to maintain pad saturation and prevent drying.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Discontinue use if severe irritation occurs and consult a dermatologist.
