Tree of Life Beauty Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Pads for Face 18% (50 Pads) — Witch Hazel & Vitamins C, B5, E for Smooth Pores

Tree of Life Beauty 18% Glycolic Acid Pads are pre-soaked exfoliating pads designed to slough away dead skin, refine pores, and reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.

These ready-to-use pads combine a high-strength glycolic acid formula with calming and nourishing botanicals to deliver weekly resurfacing without complex mixing or multiple products. Each pad is saturated with 18% glycolic acid plus witch hazel, vitamin C, vitamin B5, and vitamin E to support gentle chemical exfoliation, antioxidant support, and skin conditioning. The convenient jar of 50 pads fits easily into a night-time routine for consistent renewal.

How will these glycolic pads fit into my evening skincare routine?

Use one pad after cleansing and before heavier serums or moisturizers. The pad acts as a chemical exfoliant that prepares skin to absorb subsequent treatments and can be used 2–4 times weekly depending on tolerance.

• Cleanse thoroughly, then swipe a single pad across face and neck.
• Avoid rinsing unless irritation occurs; follow with hydrating serum or moisturizer.
• Apply SPF during daytime — exfoliation increases sun sensitivity.

What does the 18% glycolic concentration mean for my skin?

An 18% glycolic solution delivers strong resurfacing power suited to users seeking noticeable texture and tone improvement. It exfoliates the outer skin layer to reduce buildup and support smoother-looking skin, but beginners should introduce it gradually to assess tolerance.

• High-strength AHA for visible exfoliation and smoother texture.
• Start with once or twice weekly, increasing frequency as tolerated.
• Patch-test first if you have sensitive or reactive skin.

Which additional ingredients help soothe and protect while exfoliating?

Tree of Life blends witch hazel and vitamins C, B5, and E alongside glycolic acid to help calm, hydrate, and provide antioxidant support. These ingredients work together to reduce dryness and support skin resilience during chemical exfoliation.

• Witch hazel: soothes and tones the skin while minimizing excess oil.
• Vitamin C: antioxidant support for a brighter-looking complexion.
• Vitamin B5 and E: hydrate and help maintain skin barrier comfort.

How do I minimize irritation and get the best results?

Introduce the pads slowly and combine them with hydrating, non-irritating products. Avoid layering other strong actives (retinoids or additional acids) on the same night and always protect treated skin from UV exposure.

• Begin with one pad twice weekly, then increase as tolerated.
• Use gentle cleansers and soothing moisturizers on exfoliation nights.
• Wear broad-spectrum SPF daily after use to protect renewed skin.

Who is this for? These glycolic acid pads are suited for people seeking a convenient, potent chemical exfoliant to smooth texture, refine pores, and improve skin brightness. They are formulated for a broad range of skin types, including normal, oily, and combination skin, and may benefit dry or sensitive types when used cautiously and with supportive hydration. Avoid use on broken or severely irritated skin, and consult a dermatologist if you have specific concerns about active treatments.
