ZO SKIN HEALTH Complexion Renewal Pads 60-Count — Salicylic & Glycolic Exfoliating Pads for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin

ZO Skin Health Complexion Renewal Pads are pre-moistened exfoliating pads formulated with salicylic and glycolic acids to remove pore-clogging debris and reduce surface oil for a clearer, refreshed complexion.

These single-use pads combine chemical exfoliants and botanical extracts in an easy, no-rinse format designed to help clear blocked pores, refine skin texture, and control shine. Each pad is saturated with a blend that includes salicylic acid to penetrate pores and glycolic acid to loosen dead skin, alongside soothing plant extracts to calm irritation. They are ideal for a quick targeted routine step when you want efficient exfoliation without multiple product layers.

How do these pads help control oil and prevent clogged pores?

The pads use salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid that helps dissolve sebum and debris inside pores, while glycolic acid promotes surface exfoliation to remove dead skin cells. Together they reduce the conditions that lead to congestion and visible shine.

• Salicylic acid penetrates pores to lift oil and buildup.
• Glycolic acid sloughs away surface dead skin for smoother texture.
• SD Alcohol and solvents help the active ingredients spread evenly.
• Regular use can reduce the frequency of clogged pores and surface oil.

Are these pads suitable for irritated or sensitive areas?

Formulated with botanical extracts such as camellia, barley and willow-bark analogs, the pads include soothing ingredients to help minimize redness and irritation after exfoliation. However, because the formula contains acids and alcohol, those with sensitive skin should test on a small area first.

• Pterocarpus and camellia extracts help calm skin after exfoliation.
• Urea and plant extracts contribute mild hydration and comfort.
• Patch-test a pad on the jawline for 24 hours before full-face use.
• Avoid on broken or sunburned skin and reduce frequency if irritated.

How do I include the Complexion Renewal Pads in my daily routine?

Use a single pad after cleansing, applying it to areas prone to oiliness or congestion. Follow with your usual serum or moisturizer; if you use retinoids or other actives, alternate nights to avoid excessive exfoliation.

• Cleanse thoroughly, then swipe a pad across face and neck—no rinsing needed.
• Start with every-other-night use, increasing as tolerated.
• Apply moisturizer or hydrator after the pad to reduce potential dryness.
• Use sunscreen during the day, as exfoliation can increase sun sensitivity.

What ingredients should I watch for if I have combination or acne-prone skin?

Key actives in these pads target oil and dead skin: salicylic acid for pore-clearing and glycolic acid for surface renewal. The formula also contains alcohol and fragrance components, which can be drying or sensitizing for some users.

• Salicylic acid: oil-soluble exfoliant for unclogging pores.
• Glycolic acid: promotes surface cell turnover and smoother texture.
• Urea and botanical extracts: add hydration and calming support.
• Fragrance and alcohol are present; reduce frequency if irritation occurs.

Who this is for: Complexion Renewal Pads suit people with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin who want a convenient, single-step exfoliant to help manage shine and surface congestion. They are also useful for those who prefer pre-soaked pads for travel or quick treatments. If you have very sensitive or severely compromised skin, consult a skincare professional before use to determine an appropriate frequency and to avoid irritation.
