Peter Thomas Roth Exfoliating Peel Pads — Peptide Skinjection 20% Complex, Fragrance‑ & Alcohol‑Free for Smoother Texture

These are pre-soaked exfoliating peel pads from Peter Thomas Roth formulated with a targeted 20% exfoliating complex plus amino acids to smooth expression lines and prep skin for better product absorption.

Peter Thomas Roth Peptide Skinjection Exfoliating Peel Pads combine chemical exfoliants and peptide-building amino acids in an alcohol- and fragrance-free formula designed for all skin types. Each pad delivers a calibrated blend of phytic acid, salicylic acid and sodium lactate to loosen dead skin and refine texture while antioxidants and soothing botanicals help minimize irritation. The pads are intended to be used as part of a skincare routine to refresh surface radiance and enhance the efficacy of serums and moisturizers applied afterward.

How do these peel pads refine texture without over-drying?

The pads use a balanced 20% exfoliating complex that mixes humectant and acid exfoliants to resurface skin without stripping moisture. Sodium lactate helps retain hydration, while vitamin E, green tea and chamomile provide calming antioxidant support so skin feels less tight after use.

• 20% combination: phytic acid, salicylic acid, sodium lactate
• Sodium lactate acts as a humectant to preserve skin moisture
• Soothing botanicals reduce visible irritation and redness
• pH-balanced, fragrance- and alcohol-free for gentler exfoliation

Will these pads help reduce the look of expression lines and emerging wrinkles?

The formula focuses on surface renewal and amino acids that support peptide-building processes; this can smooth fine lines’ appearance by improving skin texture and optimizing ingredient uptake. By reducing dead skin buildup and encouraging a softer surface, subsequent treatments absorb more effectively, which may help enhance the performance of anti-aging serums.

• Amino acids to support peptide-related activity
• Exfoliation improves skin-surface smoothness
• Prepares skin for better penetration of treatment products
• Regular use aids in refining expression-line visibility

How should I use these pads safely in my routine?

Use the pads on clean, dry skin as directed—typically a few times weekly depending on tolerance—avoiding the eye area. Follow with hydrating serums and sunscreen during the day; if you experience sensitivity, reduce frequency or consult a skincare professional.

• Apply to cleansed skin, avoiding eyelids and lips
• Start with 1–2 times per week, increase as tolerated
• Layer moisturizer after to lock in hydration
• Always use SPF after exfoliation during daytime

What makes this formula suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?

Although the pads contain a potent exfoliating blend, the absence of fragrance and alcohol plus the inclusion of calming ingredients helps reduce potential irritation. pH balancing and antioxidant botanicals aim to support comfort and minimize dryness, but patch-testing is recommended for the most sensitive skin.

• Fragrance-free and alcohol-free base to limit irritants
• Green tea and chamomile provide anti-inflammatory support
• pH-balanced to protect skin barrier function
• Patch test advised for reactive skin types

Who is this for: These pads are designed for anyone looking to accelerate surface renewal and refine texture—people concerned with roughness, first signs of aging like expression lines, or those wanting to improve treatment absorption. They suit all skin types but are best introduced gradually for sensitive complexions and always paired with sunscreen when used during the day.
