- Lessens future outbreaks
- Assists in anti-wrinkle actions
The Glycolic and Retinol Pads are enriched with glycolic acid and retinol, lending the formula its noticeable yellow hue upon opening.
The inclusion of potent and highly active kojic acid in the product does not immediately impact the initial yellow color. However, over time, variations in light, pH, or temperature can cause the pads to darken as the kojic acid becomes more reactive. Rest assured, this is a normal occurrence and does not compromise the effectiveness of the formula.
Additionally, the seal of the product may absorb the darkened solution. As kojic acid gradually darkens, the pads themselves may also exhibit a darker shade. Occasionally, off-gassing can take place, which the seal of the jar may absorb, resulting in discoloration or darkening of the seal. Please note that such discoloration is normal and does not diminish the product’s efficacy.

Benefits
These pads break up surface cells to reveal fresh, healthy skin while allowing trapped oil to release and come to the surface. Kojic and Arbutin lighten sun spots and scars left from blemishes.
Directions For Use
Apply to face, neck and chest 3 to 4 times per week at night in lieu of toner.
Tips For Use
- Use the Glycolic/Retinol Pads 2 – 3 times per week for pore refinement or acneic skin. For best penetration of this product, use with the Glycolic Cleanser and/or Retinol 2% Exfoliating Scrub/Mask.
- For hyperpigmentation or melasma, use daily morning and evening to spot treat, applying only to pigmented areas. Reduce frequency after pigmentation has lightened.
- Do not rinse; let the product stay on the skin.
- If a client is going through a peel series, have them use pads twice per day then use as needed once the desired correction is reached.
Active Ingredients
- Glycolic Acid (2%) is a deeply penetrating alpha hydroxy acid that reduces wrinkles and promotes resurfacing to refine skin texture. It provides progressive skin clearing and promotes cellular renewal that expedites the healing of breakouts.
- Arbutin (4%) limits melanin production and reduces visible pigmentation through lightening actions and the inhibition of tyrosinase.
- Kojic Acid (3%) inhibits tyrosinase and also brightens existing pigmentation naturally. It is comparable to hydroquinone without the negative side effects.
- Retinol (1%) is a Vitamin A derivative that causes “forced exfoliation” to stimulate collagen production and reduce visible signs of aging.
