TOUCH Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Pads 20% — 50 Count AHA Peel Pads for Resurfacing & Brightening

TOUCH 20% Glycolic Acid Pads are single-step, professional-strength AHA peel pads designed to exfoliate, resurface, and brighten skin for a renewed texture.

These pre-soaked pads combine a high 20% glycolic acid concentration with a pH formulated for effective penetration, delivering salon-style chemical exfoliation at home without complex mixing or neutralizers. Each textured, non-cotton lyocell pad is heavily saturated and stored under a foam-seal lid to prevent drying, while chamomile, comfrey, green tea, and cucumber extracts help soothe and add antioxidant support. Packaged in the USA with vegan, cruelty-free ingredients, the product aims to tackle dullness, uneven tone, enlarged pores, and surface roughness when used as directed.

How quickly will I notice improved skin texture?

Visible improvement depends on individual skin condition and frequency of use. Many users see smoother texture and reduced dullness after several applications, with more pronounced results over weeks of consistent use. Start slow if your skin is sensitive and allow time to adapt to the acid strength.

• 20% glycolic acid concentration for strong exfoliation
• pH ~3.5 to enhance acid activity and penetration
• Textured pads remove dead skin and surface buildup
• Visible texture changes typically appear within weeks

Is it safe for everyday or sensitive skin?

These pads are a powerful treatment and are not intended for daily use by everyone. People with sensitive or barrier-compromised skin should patch-test and use less frequently to avoid irritation. The formula avoids drying alcohols, parabens, sulfates, and harsh solvents, and adds soothing botanical extracts, but acidity still requires careful application.

• Patch-test before full-face use to check sensitivity
• Reduce frequency (e.g., 1–2 times weekly) for sensitive skin
• No neutralizer required; rinse if irritation occurs
• Free from drying alcohols and known irritant additives

How should I incorporate these pads into my skincare routine?

Use the pads after cleansing and before serums and moisturizers, ideally in an evening routine. Apply once or twice weekly at first, increasing frequency only if your skin tolerates the treatment. Always follow with a hydrating product and daytime SPF to protect freshly exfoliated skin from sun sensitivity.

• Cleanse thoroughly, then swipe pad across face—avoid eyes and lips
• Follow with hydrating serum or moisturizer to restore barrier
• Use daily SPF during daytime after any exfoliation
• Start with low frequency (1–2 times/week), adjust as tolerated

What skin concerns do these pads target most effectively?

Formulated to resurface and renew, the pads address several common surface-level concerns rather than deep structural changes. They are useful for reducing dullness, evening out surface tone, softening fine lines, and improving the appearance of rough patches and enlarged pores when matched with proper skincare habits.

• Reduces visible dullness and surface roughness
• Helps even skin tone and soften fine lines on the surface
• Minimizes the look of enlarged pores and bumpy texture
• Supports fading of superficial marks with regular use

Who is this for: TOUCH 20% Glycolic Acid Pads are aimed at adults seeking an at-home, professional-strength resurfacing treatment for dullness, uneven tone, and texture issues. Ideal for experienced AHA users or those ready to step up from lower-strength exfoliants; not recommended as a first-choice for very reactive or severely compromised skin without professional guidance. Always patch-test, introduce gradually, and pair with hydration and sun protection for best results.
