    Key Ingredients

    • 15% Glycolic Acid – A clinical-strength alpha-hydroxy acid that dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells to unclog pores, smooth rough texture, and speed cellular turnover.
    • Vitamins A, C & E – Retinyl palmitate, ascorbyl palmitate, and tocopheryl acetate support renewal, brighten tone, and protect freshly exfoliated skin from free-radical damage.
    • CoQ10 (Ubiquinone) – An antioxidant that helps defend skin energy and resilience while the acid works.
    • Aloe Vera – Medical-grade aloe calms and hydrates so exfoliation reveals healthy skin without stripping it.
    Dr. Zenovia's Tips

    “Exfoliation should reveal healthy skin, not strip it. Start two or three nights a week and let your skin tell you when it's ready for more. And never skip SPF the next day — freshly exfoliated skin burns more easily, which undoes all your progress.” — Dr. Zenovia Gabriel, MD

    FAQs

    What do glycolic acid pads do for your skin?

    Glycolic acid is an exfoliating alpha-hydroxy acid that dissolves the bond between dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath. These pre-soaked pads unclog pores, smooth rough and uneven texture, and accelerate cell turnover — helping with dullness, breakouts, and the early signs of aging. Antioxidants like Vitamin E, CoQ10, and aloe calm and replenish as you exfoliate.

    How often should I use glycolic acid pads?

    Start with 2 to 3 nights per week and increase as your skin builds tolerance — over-exfoliating can compromise your barrier. Use at night after cleansing, swiping one pad across the face and avoiding the eye area. A mild tingle is normal. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF the next morning, as exfoliated skin is more sensitive to the sun.

    Are glycolic pads good for acne-prone skin?

    Yes. By exfoliating dead skin and clearing pore-clogging buildup, glycolic acid helps prevent the congestion that leads to breakouts, and it smooths post-acne texture and marks over time. It pairs well with an acne routine — just avoid layering it the same night as other strong actives to prevent over-exfoliation.

    Can I use glycolic pads with retinol?

    Yes, but alternate them rather than layering on the same night. Using glycolic acid and retinol together can over-exfoliate and irritate the skin. A simple approach is to use the pads on nights you're not using retinol. Listen to your skin, and scale back if you notice dryness or sensitivity.
