ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads — 60-Count Daily Exfoliating Pads with Lactic Acid & Tri‑Enzyme for Smoother, Brighter Skin

ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads are pre-soaked daily exfoliating pads that physically and chemically polish skin to reduce dullness, refine pores and help smooth texture with lactic acid and a tri-enzyme blend.

These single-use pads combine a textured surface with gentle chemical exfoliation to sweep away dead skin and encourage faster surface cell turnover without over-drying. Formulated to act as both a mechanical and enzymatic resurfacer, the pads aim to reveal a brighter, more even-looking complexion while preparing skin for makeup or self-tanning.

How do these pads refine blackheads and congested pores?

The pads work in two ways: the textured side physically removes surface debris while the lactic acid and tri-enzyme complex chemically loosen dead skin cells. That combination helps clear the build-up that contributes to blackheads and visibly large pores over time, with consistent use.

• Textured wipe lifts away dry, flaky skin and light surface impurities
• Lactic acid provides gentle AHA exfoliation to support cell turnover
• Tri-enzyme technology targets dullness and helps smooth skin surface
• Designed for daily use to keep pores clearer and skin smoother

Will these pads irritate sensitive or dry skin?

They are formulated to be gentle, but any acid-containing resurfacer can cause sensitivity for some people. Start with alternate-day use to assess tolerance and avoid combining with other strong exfoliants or retinoids until skin acclimates.

• Gentle AHA concentration aimed at minimizing stripping or tightness
• Textured physical exfoliation is balanced to avoid harsh abrasion
• Patch test a small area if you have reactive skin or rosacea
• Moisturize after use and apply SPF daily when using exfoliants

How soon will I notice smoother, brighter skin?

Visible changes can appear within a few weeks of regular use as surface cells shed more effectively and texture improves. Independent studies reported perceptible improvements in skin smoothness and tone with continued application over a month.

• Daily or near-daily use accelerates visible refinements in 2–4 weeks
• Consistent use supports evening of skin tone and reduction of dullness
• Works especially well as a prep step before makeup for a more even finish
• Results depend on individual skin type and baseline condition

How should I incorporate these pads into my skincare routine?

Use the pad after cleansing and before moisturizers or treatments. Swipe across the face (avoiding the eye area), allow a few moments to absorb, then follow with serums and hydration; apply sunscreen each morning when using exfoliants at night or day.

• Cleanse first to remove surface oil and makeup
• Swipe pad gently across face and neck, avoid eyes and lips
• Follow with serum, moisturizer and daytime SPF
• Alternate nights if your skin is new to acids or feels reactive

Who is this for: These pads suit anyone seeking a convenient, daily resurfacing step to refine texture, reduce the appearance of uneven tone and prepare skin for smoother makeup application. They are especially useful for people with dullness, mild congestion or uneven surface texture, and for those who prefer a combined physical-chemical approach to exfoliation. If you have very sensitive, irritated or compromised skin, consult a dermatologist before regular use.
