ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads — Gentle Textured Exfoliating Pads, 14-count for Smoother Brighter Skin

ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads are daily dual-action exfoliating pads that combine Tri-Enzyme Technology and lactic acid with a textured surface to reveal smoother, brighter skin.

These pre-soaked pads are formulated to accelerate cell turnover through mild chemical exfoliation while the textured side buffs away surface flakiness, helping skin look more even and behave like a polished base for makeup or self-tanner. Packaged as a convenient 14-count treatment, they’re designed for regular use to target dullness, uneven texture, and the appearance of enlarged pores without stripping moisture when used as directed.

How do these pads resurface skin without over-drying?

The pads pair lactic acid—an AHA known for gentle chemical exfoliation—with a physical textured side that lifts dead skin cells. This combined approach reduces the need for harsh scrubbing and helps maintain skin hydration when incorporated into a balanced routine.

• Tri-Enzyme Technology supports enzymatic renewal for softer skin surface.
• Lactic acid provides mild, water-soluble AHA exfoliation suitable for many skin types.
• Textured side physically sloughs away dry patches for immediate smoothness.
• Designed for daily or regular use depending on tolerance and skin sensitivity.

Will these pads help reduce the look of pores and uneven tone?

By speeding up natural cell turnover and removing dead surface cells that can trap oil and debris, the pads can make skin texture appear refined and pores less noticeable over time. They also help surface darkness look diminished, especially when used consistently alongside targeted brightening products.

• Helps clear surface buildup that contributes to visibly enlarged pores.
• Supports a more uniform complexion with regular use.
• Pairs well with other brightening treatments for enhanced results.
• Can prep skin for smoother makeup or self-tanner application.

How should I use these resurfacing pads in my skincare routine?

Use the pads after cleansing and before serums or moisturizers, swiping across face and neck while avoiding the eye area. Start with a few times per week if you have sensitive skin and increase frequency as tolerated; follow with SPF in the daytime to protect newly revealed skin.

• Cleanse thoroughly, then gently buff with the textured side of the pad.
• Allow ingredients to absorb, then layer serum and moisturizer.
• Always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day after use.
• Adjust frequency based on tolerance—daily for many users, less for sensitive skin.

What immediate and longer-term benefits can I expect?

Immediately after use you’ll likely notice smoother skin texture and a more even surface for makeup. Over several weeks, consistent application can help reduce visible dullness, improve skin smoothness, and support the appearance of clearer pores as surface cells renew more efficiently.

• Instant: softer, less flaky skin and improved makeup application.
• Short term (weeks): visibly smoother texture and brighter-looking skin.
• Ongoing: support for fewer surface blockages that can make pores look larger.
• Clinical testing showed strong user satisfaction over a 4-week period.

Who is this for: These pads suit anyone seeking a convenient, travel-friendly resurfacing step to refine texture and brighten dull skin—particularly those who want a gentler AHA option combined with light physical exfoliation. If you have very reactive or compromised skin, consult a skincare professional and introduce the pads gradually.
