Triple Exfoliation Peel Pads

A 30-pad exfoliating treatment for dullness and uneven-looking texture. PCA SKIN combines exfoliating acids, prickly pear extract and a dual-sided pad to leave skin looking smoother and brighter.

What makes it different

• Three approaches to exfoliation: chemical exfoliation from AHAs, BHA and PHAs; an enzymatic approach with prickly pear extract; and physical buffing from the woven pad.
• Two pad surfaces: a textured side for areas such as the T-zone and a smooth side for more delicate areas.
• More than exfoliating acids: the formula also includes niacinamide, licorice root extract, sodium hyaluronate and a peptide.

How to use

Use in the exfoliating step after cleansing. Gently sweep the pad over skin, choosing the textured or smooth surface for the area being treated. Follow with moisturizer; include broad-spectrum sunscreen in your daytime routine. PCA describes this as a daily-use peel, but frequency should follow your pack's directions and your skin's tolerance. Do not scrub aggressively or apply to irritated skin. Avoid the eyes and stop use if irritation develops.

Sun sensitivity

The alpha hydroxy acids in this product can make skin more sun-sensitive. Use sunscreen and protective clothing, and reduce sun exposure during use and for the following week.
