goop 15% Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Pads — 4-Pack Nighttime AHA Pads with Hyaluronic Acid for Smoother, Brighter Skin

goop 15% Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Pads are intensive, night-time chemical-peel-inspired pads designed to resurface and brighten skin while you sleep.

These dual-textured pads combine a high-strength 15% glycolic acid concentration with botanical fruit extracts and hyaluronic acid to help improve texture, promote a more even-looking tone, and leave skin feeling softer. Formulated without parabens, silicones, phthalates, artificial fragrance, or dyes, the pads are intended for targeted overnight exfoliation on the face, neck, chest, and shoulders. The product is presented as a clean-beauty option that pairs potent alpha hydroxy acid chemistry with soothing and hydrating actives.

How does this product refine texture overnight?

The 15% glycolic acid acts as a chemical exfoliant to loosen and remove dull surface cells, helping the skin reveal a smoother layer beneath with repeated use. Combined fruit extracts help complement exfoliation, and hyaluronic acid delivers moisture to avoid excessive dryness.

• Contains 15% glycolic acid for strong alpha-hydroxy exfoliation
• Dual-textured pads allow both treatment application and gentle mechanical sweep
• Hyaluronic acid helps maintain hydration while skin renews

Will these pads brighten and retexturize without irritation?

They are formulated to balance potency and skin comfort, but high-strength AHAs can cause mild tingling, sensitivity, or temporary redness, especially for first-time users or sensitive skin types. Start gradually, patch-test, and follow guidance for night use only; discontinue if pronounced irritation occurs.

• Designed for night-time use to leverage skin's repair cycle
• Clean formulation omits common irritants like fragrance and silicones
• Patch-test and introduce intermittently to assess tolerance

How should I use the pads for best results?

Apply a single pad in the evening after cleansing, sweeping across face, neck, chest, and shoulders; do not rinse off. Use frequency depending on your tolerance—many begin with once or twice weekly and increase gradually as skin acclimates.

• Cleanse thoroughly, then apply one pad to desired areas
• Do not rinse; allow the formula to absorb and work overnight
• Always follow with sunscreen the following day—AHA use increases sun sensitivity

What results can I expect and how quickly?

Users noted immediate smoother feel after a single application while more visible improvements in radiance and texture develop with repeated use over days to weeks. Individual results vary by skin type, frequency of use, and concurrent skincare steps.

• Many users report smoother-feeling skin after one use
• Two-week timelines commonly show improved radiance and exfoliation
• Consistent, cautious use yields the most reliable resurfacing effects

Who is this for: goop 15% Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Pads are intended for someone seeking a stronger at-home chemical exfoliant to tackle texture and dullness, comfortable introducing a higher-concentration AHA into their evening routine. They suit mature, dry, combination, and oilier skin types that tolerate acids, and those looking for a clean-beauty formulation without parabens, silicones, or artificial fragrance. Not recommended for people with very sensitive or compromised skin without prior dermatologist guidance. Always patch-test, introduce slowly, and use daily sunscreen during the daytime when using AHA treatments.
