Alpha hydroxy acids (glycolic and lactic acids) help clear away dead skin cells that have built up on the skin's surface. Glycolic acid can also penetrate through the layers of the skin to enable them to be exfoliated. Aloe is an anti-inflammatory and helps to hydrate and moisturize skin. These pads are designed for more experienced skin.

Method of Application

If you are new to acids, use them every three days. In total, exfoliate at most 3 to 4 times per week.

Use on clean skin (these pads will also tone the skin). Swipe gently across the face using short strokes, then wait 20 minutes before using other products. The acid will self-neutralize, and then you can continue with your routine.

The exception to the 20-minute wait rule is if the acids are very uncomfortable. If so, rinse immediately and build up a tolerance to the acids over about a month's time, increasing the length of time every few days. Acids, however, are not meant to be comfortable as they are a remodeling tool.
