Peter Thomas Roth Peptide Exfoliating Peel Pads, Fragrance-Free — 20% Exfoliant for Smoother Texture

Peptide Skinjection Exfoliating Peel Pads are pre-soaked treatment pads with a 20% exfoliating complex and peptide-building amino acids designed to smooth expression lines and improve skin texture.

These single-step pads combine three exfoliants—phytic acid, salicylic acid and sodium lactate—with amino acids that support peptide performance, plus calming botanicals. The formula is fragrance-free, alcohol-free and pH-balanced to help reduce irritation while enhancing how well follow-up serums and moisturizers are absorbed. Use them as a weekly or twice-weekly treatment to refine texture and promote a more even, radiant-looking complexion.

How does this exfoliating peel help with expression lines and early wrinkles?

The pads work by removing surface buildup and encouraging smoother skin texture so expression lines and emerging wrinkles appear less noticeable. Exfoliation improves skin’s receptivity to active ingredients, allowing peptide-supporting amino acids to work alongside the acids for a refined finish. Results are visual and cosmetic: smoother, more even-looking skin after consistent use.

• 20% exfoliating blend targets dead skin cells and excess oil.
• Peptide-building amino acids support skin’s surface appearance.
• Botanical antioxidants calm and reduce potential dryness.

What are the key ingredients and why are they included?

This formula combines multiple actives to address texture and absorption: phytic acid gently resurfaces, salicylic acid helps clear pores and sodium lactate aids hydration and exfoliation balance. Amino acids help promote peptide effectiveness on the skin surface, while vitamin E, green tea and chamomile provide antioxidant and soothing properties. The overall composition is balanced to deliver results without added fragrance or alcohol.

• Phytic acid: gentle chemical exfoliant for smoother surface texture.
• Salicylic acid: helps clear pore debris and refines skin tone.
• Sodium lactate: hydrates while supporting exfoliation.
• Vitamin E, green tea, chamomile: soothe and reduce irritation.

How should I use these pads safely in my skincare routine?

Use on cleansed, dry skin; swipe a pad across face avoiding the immediate eye area and lips. Start with once weekly to gauge tolerance, then increase to two times per week if skin responds well. Always follow with sunscreen during the day, and apply serums or moisturizers after the pads to maximize absorption.

• Frequency: begin weekly, progress to twice weekly as tolerated.
• Application: cleanse first, then gently sweep pad over face and neck.
• Aftercare: follow with hydrating serum or moisturizer; use daily SPF.

Will these pads work for sensitive or combination skin?

The alcohol-free, fragrance-free and pH-balanced formula is designed to minimize irritation for a range of skin types, including combination and some sensitive skin types. Because the pads contain active acids, those with very reactive or medically compromised skin should patch-test first or consult a skin professional. The added botanicals aim to calm potential redness and dryness associated with exfoliation.

• Fragrance- and alcohol-free to reduce sensitizing ingredients.
• pH-balanced for effective, controlled exfoliation.
• Patch testing recommended for very reactive skin.
