Glycolic acid helps gently exfoliate dead skin cells that show fine lines and uneven skin tones. When dead cells are removed, newer, smoother skin is revealed and the appearance of fine lines faded - resulting in smoother, fresher looking skin. Elite Glycolic Acid Pads feature ultra-pure glycolic acid to provide maximum efficacy and minimal irritation. Glycolic Elite Glycolic Facial Pads exfoliate the skin and remove excess oil and impurities resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin. Glycolic acid peel pads tone and prepare the skin for product layers.
