Peter Thomas Roth Even Clearer Max Complexion Correction Pads — 2% Salicylic, 10% Glycolic Exfoliating Pads

Even Clearer™ Max Complexion Correction Pads are pre-soaked exfoliating pads with maximum-strength 2% salicylic acid and a 10% glycolic acid complex designed to clear breakouts and refine skin texture.

These ready-to-use pads combine a pore-penetrating beta hydroxy acid with a potent alpha hydroxy acid complex to help lift away dead skin cells, oils and surface buildup while botanical soothers minimize irritation. The formula targets the look of blemishes, uneven tone, enlarged pores and dullness without the need to mix multiple products.

How do these pads help reduce breakouts and congestion?

The pads deliver 2% salicylic acid, a lipid-soluble beta hydroxy acid that penetrates into pores to loosen trapped sebum and cellular debris. Regular use can help keep pores clearer and reduce the frequency of new surface blemishes, while the glycolic complex promotes surface exfoliation for improved clarity.

• 2% salicylic acid penetrates and dissolves pore-clogging oils.
• 10% glycolic acid complex speeds surface cell turnover for smoother skin.
• Pre-soaked pads make application controlled and mess-free.

Will these pads irritate sensitive or reactive skin?

The formula includes aloe vera, chamomile and green tea extracts to help soothe and calm the skin during exfoliation, and arginine to buffer potential irritation. Start slowly—once daily or every other day—to assess tolerance, and avoid combining with other strong topical acne treatments if irritation appears.

• Aloe vera and chamomile provide calming support to reduce redness.
• Green tea adds antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.
• Arginine helps balance the skin and mitigate dryness or discomfort.

How should I use these pads in my routine for the best results?

Use after cleansing: gently sweep the pad over affected areas avoiding the immediate eye area, allowing the actives to absorb. Because exfoliating acids can increase sun sensitivity, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day and limit sun exposure for a week after use.

• Cleanse thoroughly before application to remove surface dirt and makeup.
• Begin with once-daily use, increase gradually as tolerated.
• Apply sunscreen daily while using the pads and for seven days afterward.

Can these pads improve signs of texture, tone and fine lines?

The 10% glycolic acid complex works on the skin surface to refine texture and encourage radiance by promoting cellular turnover. Over consistent use, users often notice a more even tone, smoother texture and the appearance of pore size reduction, though results vary by skin type and frequency of use.

• Glycolic acid helps slough away dull, dead surface cells.
• Exfoliation can make skin look brighter and more even over time.
• Pore appearance can appear reduced with regular, controlled use.

Who is this for: These pads are suited to people with oily, combination or acne-prone skin seeking a convenient, high-strength chemical exfoliant to tackle breakouts, texture and uneven tone. If you have very dry, extremely sensitive or barrier-compromised skin, proceed cautiously—introduce the product gradually and consult a dermatologist if unsure. Always patch-test new actives, avoid overlapping strong topical acne medications, and use sun protection while incorporating exfoliating acids into your regimen.
