Barefaced Polishing Pads — Glycolic Peel Pads 15% for Face & Body, Squalane Hydration

Barefaced Polishing Pads are oversized clinical-strength exfoliating peel pads that combine 15% glycolic acid with multi-acid actives and squalane to smooth skin texture on face and body.

These single-sided pads deliver a professional-style chemical exfoliant you can use at home: a blend of glycolic, mandelic, salicylic and succinic acids plus Alpine Rose extract and squalane. The formula is designed to sweep away dead skin cells, help clear clogged pores, and support visible texture improvement while leaving skin hydrated. The larger pad size makes it practical for both facial treatments (1–2 times per week) and regular body exfoliation.

How do these pads improve skin texture without over-drying?

The pads pair a potent acid complex with squalane to exfoliate while maintaining hydration and barrier support. Active acids target surface buildup and pore congestion, and squalane helps replenish lipids so skin stays supple after use.

• 15% glycolic acid for cell turnover and smoothing
• Mandelic and salicylic acids for gentle pore-clearing and exfoliation
• Succinic acid to help soothe and balance redness
• Squalane to hydrate and support the skin barrier post-exfoliation

Can I use Polishing Pads on both face and body, and how often?

The enlarged, single-sided pads are formulated for full-body use and are safe for facial use when used appropriately. Use on the face 1–2 times per week depending on tolerance; for the body you can use them more frequently to address rough patches and uneven texture.

• Face: start once weekly, increase to twice weekly if tolerated
• Body: suitable for regular use on elbows, knees, chest, and back
• Avoid broken or irritated skin and follow with moisturizer and sun protection

What makes the acid complex 'clinical-grade' and who benefits most?

Clinical-grade refers to concentration and a targeted blend of complementary acids that together offer stronger exfoliation than mild toners. The multi-acid approach combines immediate resurfacing with pore-focused and soothing acids for balanced efficacy across different concerns.

• High 15% glycolic concentration for effective resurfacing
• Complementary mandelic and salicylic acids for gentle penetration and oil control
• Succinic acid and Alpine Rose extract to support skin resilience and renewal

How should I layer these pads into my routine for safe results?

Introduce the pads slowly and pair them with calming, hydrating products to minimize irritation. Use a gentle cleanser first, apply the pad to dry skin, then follow with a moisturizer; always finish daytime use with SPF to protect renewed skin.

• Cleanse, then apply pad; do not rinse off unless instructed
• Follow with a hydrating serum or cream containing ceramides or squalane
• Use broad-spectrum SPF during the day after using these pads

Who is this for: Barefaced Polishing Pads are for anyone seeking stronger at-home chemical exfoliation for rough texture, clogged pores, or dullness who is comfortable with clinical-strength actives. They suit all skin types when used with care—starting slowly if you have sensitive skin—and are especially useful for people who want a single product that treats face and larger body areas efficiently. Avoid use on irritated or compromised skin and consult a professional if you have specific dermatologic concerns.
