Murad Retexturizing Body Pads 45 Pads — Salicylic, Azelaic & Glycolic Exfoliating Pads, Fragrance- and Alcohol‑Free, Biodegradable

Murad Retexturizing Body Pads are pre-soaked multi-acid exfoliating pads that smooth bumpy texture, help clear body breakouts, and fade post-acne dark marks without alcohol or fragrance.

These single-use pads combine salicylic, azelaic, and glycolic acids in a skin-balanced formula designed to refine rough areas like chest, back, shoulders, and arms. The pads are biodegradable and pH-balanced to help remove excess oil, slough away dead skin, and calm aggravated skin while providing oil-free hydration. Free from fragrance and alcohol, they’re formulated to be gentle enough for regular use on acne-prone or textured body skin.

How do these pads treat body acne and breakouts?

The pads deliver a blend of beta and alpha hydroxy acids that help unclog pores and promote surface cell turnover to reduce breakouts. Salicylic acid penetrates pores to loosen sebum and debris; glycolic acid encourages gentle exfoliation; azelaic acid helps address uneven tone associated with healed blemishes.

• Salicylic acid to exfoliate inside pores and reduce clogged follicles
• Glycolic acid for surface smoothing and improved skin texture
• Azelaic acid to support even tone and reduce the look of post-acne marks
• Alcohol-free formula to avoid excessive dryness or irritation

Will these pads help with keratosis pilaris (KP) and rough bumps?

Yes — the combination of acids targets the plug-like buildup that causes KP-like bumps and rough patches. Regular, consistent use promotes smoother skin by shedding dead cells and reducing the formation of new bumps, while hydrating elements help maintain skin comfort.

• Mechanical exfoliation without harsh scrubbing — chemical acids help dissolve buildup
• Sustained use diminishes roughness and improves overall skin feel
• Biodegradable pads simplify application on hard-to-reach areas
• Non-fragrant, pH-balanced formulation reduces potential irritation

How should I incorporate these pads into my body care routine?

Use on clean, dry skin after showering or bathing, typically once daily or as tolerated, focusing on affected areas like the back, chest, shoulders, or arms. Follow with a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to support barrier function and comfort; reduce frequency if you experience sensitivity.

• Apply to clean skin—use one pad per area to sweep gently over bumps or acne-prone zones
• Start with every other day if you have sensitive skin, then increase as tolerated
• Pair with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain hydration
• Avoid mixing with other strong actives in the same routine to minimize irritation

Are these pads safe for different skin types and tones?

The formula is developed for oily, combination, dry, and acne-prone skin types seeking texture improvement; it’s also suitable for varied skin tones when used as directed. Because acids can increase sun sensitivity, apply sun protection on exposed areas and monitor for irritation when starting use.

• Works across skin types: oily, combination, dry, and acne-prone
• Helps fade post-acne marks without harsh alcohol or added fragrance
• Biodegradable pads reduce waste and enable precise application
• Patch test recommended for very sensitive skin or if using other actives

Who is this for: Murad Retexturizing Body Pads are for people dealing with body breakouts, rough or bumpy texture like keratosis pilaris, and those wanting to fade dark marks left by acne. They suit users who prefer the convenience of single-use pads, seek a fragrance- and alcohol-free formula, and want a multi-acid approach to exfoliation that balances clearing and soothing. If you have extremely sensitive or compromised skin, consult a dermatologist before adding chemical exfoliants to your body care regimen.
