These Glycolic/Retinol Pads are designed to gently and progressively renew the skin. They work to brighten, clarify, and restore skin tone and texture. These pads break up surface cells to reveal fresh, healthy skin while removing trapped dirt and oil and lightening sun spots and scars left from blemishes and sun damage. These can be used in place of toner 3-4 days a week.

BENEFITS:

  • Reduces the appearance of dark spots 
  • Renews skin texture and resurfaces for smoother skin 
  • Helps to prevent future breakouts

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Apply to face, neck and chest (after cleansing) 3 to 4 times per week at night in place of toner. TIP: Layer the pad with a cotton round then gently rub all over face and neck for easier application. Allow pads to absorb into your skin and air dry. For more effective results apply serum and/or moisturizer immediately following use of pads. 

 

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:

 

  • Glycolic Acid (2%) is a deeply penetrating alpha hydroxy acid that reduces wrinkles and promotes resurfacing to refine skin texture. It provides progressive skin clearing and promotes cellular renewal that expedites the healing of breakouts.
  • Arbutin (4%) limits melanin production and reduces visible pigmentation through lightening actions and the inhibition of tyrosinase.
  • Kojic Acid (3%) inhibits tyrosinase and also brightens existing pigmentation naturally. It is comparable to hydroquinone without the negative side effects.
  • Retinol (1%) is a Vitamin A derivative that causes “forced exfoliation” to stimulate collagen production and reduce visible signs of aging.
