Elvira Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Facial Pads — 60 Pads, 10% Glycolic + 2% Salicylic for Acne-Prone Sensitive Skin

Elvira Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Facial Pads are pre-soaked daily peel pads with 10% glycolic acid, 2% salicylic acid and niacinamide to resurface, clarify, and brighten acne-prone, sensitive skin.

These single-use toner pads combine three active ingredients in a water-based, dermatologist-minded formula to gently lift dead skin, help clear pores and support a smoother-looking complexion. Designed as an at-home resurfacing step, the pads can replace or complement your toner and are presented in a 60-count tub for twice-weekly to nightly use depending on tolerance. The formula excludes sulfates, silicones, oils, and phthalates and aims to balance efficacy with gentleness.

How do these pads exfoliate without harsh irritation?

The pads use 10% glycolic acid, an AHA that loosens bonds between dead skin cells for surface renewal, paired with 2% salicylic acid to penetrate and help clear pores. Niacinamide helps support skin tone and barrier comfort, reducing the appearance of redness associated with exfoliation. Because the solution is pre-measured on a soft pad, it reduces the risk of overapplication and uneven coverage.

• 10% glycolic acid for surface cell turnover and texture smoothing
• 2% salicylic acid to target pore congestion gently
• Niacinamide to comfort skin and help maintain an even look
• Pads are saturated for single-step, controlled application

When and how should I use the Elvira pads in my routine?

Use after cleansing and drying the face. Swipe with the smooth side, wait 2–3 minutes for the actives to work, then gently buff with the textured side to remove residue. Start with 2–3 times per week, then increase frequency as tolerated; always follow with sunscreen during daytime use.

• After cleansing and drying, use the smooth side first for even application
• Wait 2–3 minutes, then use the textured side to lift exfoliated cells
• Begin gradually—every other night or a few times weekly—and monitor tolerance
• Use SPF daily when using chemical exfoliants to protect renewed skin

Will these pads work for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formulation aims to balance active strength with skin-friendly excipients, and it is free from common irritants like sulfates and oils. Many users report improved texture and smaller-looking pores within a couple of weeks when used as directed, but patch testing is recommended for reactive skin types. Reduce frequency if you experience persistent irritation and consult a skincare professional for personalized guidance.

• Formulated without sulfates, silicones, oils, and phthalates
• Pre-measured single pads reduce overuse risk
• Patch test first on a small area if you have high sensitivity
• Adjust frequency to avoid dryness or redness
