Do you have a favorite exfoliating peel pad?

Or maybe serum, or toner? Right now I'm using Dr Nassif two step exfoliating kit but I would like to try a nice peel pad. I want one with glycolic acid. There's so many I have no idea what to buy. I'd like one that moderately priced, with good results. I've tried TO lactic acid but I just don't want another serum. Any suggestions? Tia

I use this QRxLabs 15% GA Serum whenever I need some extra exfoliation which is about once monthly. What I do is apply it in the morning under my moisturizer for an all-day exfoliation treatment. Wash off at night. If I need more exfoliating then I repeat on the following day. Leaves skin flake-free and glowing w/o irritation. Find it on amazon for $16.

 

Glycolic Acid/AHA 15% Renewal Serum for Face - Intensive Brightening, Smoothing, Exfoliant for Night or Day - Fine Lines, Dark Spots and Wrinkles Treatment - 1 fl oz bottle

 

QRxLabs makes an entire collection of glycolic exfoliation products including gel peels and pads among others. The gel peel is 70% GA (needs neutralizer) and that is too strong for me but it is offered. QRxLabs has a store on amazon.

I'm a big believer in exfoliating.  Whenever I cleanse my face I use a fresh muslin washcloth to rinse and wipe all the cleanser away.  I use them on my lips too.  Every morning, I use a Dr. Denese Facial Firming pad.  I buy them when they're on a deal and get the A/D.  Then I'm set for awhile.  At night, I use a Dr. Nassif Detox pad, but I don't consider that an exfoliating pad.

They aren't cheap but I've used Dr Dennis Gross' peel pads on and off since the aughts. He was the first.

My personal favorite is Peter Thomas Roth Even Smoother Glycolic Resurfacing Pads.  They are gentle enough to use every day!

I have oily skin .... and this method has worked for many years.  Simple and inexpensive.  I do it daily.

 

  • Exfoliating bath gloves and a bar of soap.  I use Kiss My Face Olive Oil Soap.

 

Both gloves and soap are available at Amazon.

 

  • I finish with a quick once over with Witch Hazel  and Avon's Dramatic Firming Cream. 

 

I've used Whitch Hazel since I was a teenager with oily skin, and the Dramatic Firming Cream as long as Avon has made it.

Well you guys give a great bunch of options. I sure do appreciate you all taking the time to answer. I'm acquainted with most of the brands except the Pacifica. And I do like a lot of what you guys are using too. I'm sorry I didn't answer before but I just haven't had time.
