Pharmlitalia Glycolic Acid Pads 35% — Resurfacing Face & Body Exfoliating Pads, 60 Count

Pharmlitalia Glycolic Acid Pads 35% are pre-soaked exfoliating pads designed to resurface skin, soften texture, and reveal a brighter, more even-looking complexion for face and body.

These single-use pads deliver a high-concentration glycolic acid solution in a convenient, ready-to-use format for targeted chemical exfoliation. Formulated with pharmaceutical-grade glycolic acid, each pad is intended to loosen dead skin cells, help clear congested pores, and reduce the visibility of dark spots and rough patches without the mess of mixing serums. The container holds 60 pads that you can integrate into an evening routine several times weekly, depending on tolerance.

How should I use these pads safely in my skincare routine?

Start slowly: use once or twice a week and increase frequency only as tolerated. Apply to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area; follow with a soothing moisturizer and daily SPF while using this product. If you experience persistent irritation, discontinue use and consult a professional.

• Apply after cleansing and drying the skin.
• Avoid mixing with retinoids or other strong acids in the same application.
• Use sunscreen every morning during the treatment period.
• Perform a patch test before first full-face use.

What visible improvements can I expect and when?

Results vary with skin type and frequency, but many users notice smoother texture and reduced roughness within a few uses. More pronounced changes—like diminished dark spots or fewer congested pores—often appear after several weeks of consistent, gentle use. These pads support skin turnover to help reveal fresher-looking skin over time.

• Smoother surface and reduced flakiness within days to weeks.
• Gradual softening of hard or callused areas on body regions.
• Improved clarity and pore appearance after consistent use.
• Brighter tone as pigmented cells naturally shed.

Can I use these pads on body areas like underarms and feet?

Yes—these pads are formulated for both facial and body use, helping to soften rough skin on feet, smooth underarms, and refine texture on other areas prone to build-up. Use cautiously on sensitive skin zones and avoid broken or inflamed skin to prevent irritation. For thicker skin areas, a slightly longer contact time may be tolerated, but always follow a patch test first.

• Works on heels and callused patches to soften roughness.
• Can help smooth underarm texture and reduce buildup.
• Avoid mucous membranes and irritated skin.
• Limit frequency on thinner, more delicate skin.

How do I choose concentration and frequency for my skin type?

A 35% glycolic concentration is considered high and best for experienced users or those guided by professionals. If you have sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, start with minimal contact time and lower frequency, or consult a dermatologist first. Monitor tolerance and scale usage down if redness or prolonged stinging occurs.

• Begin with one pad per week, increasing gradually.
• Reduce frequency if redness or prolonged discomfort appears.
• Consider professional supervision for aggressive resurfacing goals.
• Always combine with sun protection during daytime.
