Dr. Denese SkinScience Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Pads, 100-Count Tub — Pre-Soaked with Peptides & Aloe

Dr. Denese SkinScience Exfoliating Pads are single-use glycolic acid and peptide pads designed to gently exfoliate, tone, and smooth skin in one easy step.

These pre-soaked pads combine a measured dose of glycolic acid with peptides and soothing aloe to lift dull surface cells, refine pore appearance, and help skin look brighter and more even. Packaged for convenience, the 100-count tub makes them a practical addition to morning or evening routines when you want a consistent chemical exfoliation without mixing liquids or disposables.

How do these pads improve skin texture?

The pads use glycolic acid to encourage the removal of dead surface cells, while supportive ingredients like peptides and aloe help maintain hydration and comfort. Regular use helps reveal smoother skin and reduces the look of uneven tone over time without mechanical scrubbing.

• Glycolic acid concentration formulated for regular home use
• Peptides to support skin resilience and feel
• Aloe to calm and reduce potential irritation
• Pre-moistened pads for uniform coverage and dosing

When should I use these pads in my skincare routine?

Use a pad after cleansing and before serums or moisturizers to clear away surface buildup and help active ingredients penetrate more evenly. Start with fewer applications per week to assess tolerance, then adjust frequency based on how your skin responds.

• After gentle cleanser, before treatments and moisturizers
• Begin with 1–3 times weekly, increase as tolerated
• Use SPF during daytime after exfoliation

Are these pads suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formula is dermatologist-tested and free from parabens and sulfates, but glycolic acid can cause sensitivity in some individuals. Patch testing and gradual introduction are recommended to monitor tolerance; consult a professional if you have reactive or inflamed skin conditions.

• Vegan and cruelty-free formulation
• No parabens or sulfates listed in ingredients
• Patch test suggested for sensitive skin
• Not a substitute for medical skincare advice

How do these pads help my other skincare products work better?

By removing dead skin and clearing pores, the pads create a smoother surface so serums and moisturizers absorb more consistently. That prepped skin can improve the performance of active treatments and leave makeup applying more evenly.

• Clears surface buildup for improved absorption
• Helps serums and moisturizers penetrate more effectively
• Leaves skin smoother for more even makeup application

Who this is for: Dr. Denese SkinScience Exfoliating Pads suit anyone seeking a straightforward chemical exfoliation step—people wanting brighter, smoother-looking skin, those who prefer pre-measured topical treatments, or busy users who need a quick toner-and-exfoliant in one. Not ideal for active open wounds or those advised to avoid alpha-hydroxy acids; if you use strong prescription actives, check with your dermatologist before adding these pads to your routine.
