A little late in the game, I recently discovered the beauty of glycolic acid pads (or peels). I’ve seen them around, but always had the misconception that my skin was going to literally peel off if I used them, so I’ve always stayed away. Ya feel?
After a friend explained to me what glycolic acid pads are really all about, I decided to give them a try. The glycolic acid ingredient is an active compound that contains many benefits for the skin. It can treat everything from dullness to dry skin! While some products have a higher percentage of glycolic acid, I tend to go for ones that have a lower percentage, so that I can use them consistently for better results. After using glycolic pads, I find that my skin is more smooth and bright! These products are great for all skin types from sensitive (me) to acne-prone skin.
Keep reading to check out some of the products I recommend—all are great anti-aging products!
MALIN + GOETZ RESURFACING GLYCOLIC PADS
The Malin + Goetz glycolic pads come pre-moistened in a jar, which is great for the home. Swipe your face with these in the evening, and you’ll take up with a radiant glow—trust me!
MURAD RAPID RESURFACING PEEL
I love that these glycolic pads are individually packaged. These are great for travel, a time when skin tends to act up—with glycolic acid and vitamin C ingredients, the dullness in the skin will instantly go bye-bye!
PHILOSOPHY THE MICRODELIVERY TRIPLE-ACID BRIGHTENING PEEL
These are individually packaged as well! These Philosophy peels contain three acids and are great for brightening, tackling the appearance of dark spots, no matter what your skin type or skin tone.
Let me know what you think of glycolic pads. Which ones do you use and do they work for you?
