Acids in skin care can truly transform the skin. They can make a marked difference when it comes to keratosis pilaris and help transform oily skin.
However, adding an acid means yet another step in our skincare routine. Some people love an extra step or two (guilty), but understandably, other people would much rather be doing something else with their evening. Enter: exfoliating pads. These pads are tiny but mighty and will seriously improve your complexion. The choice of brands and products can be overwhelming, so we've selected a few editor favourites that will fit right into your routine.
These pads will brighten dull skin tone, banish blemishes, and improve the skin's overall texture. They are so easy to use, you'll never have an excuse to skip weekly exfoliation again. And if you love the extra step, most of these pads are safe to use daily.
