Your Favorite Ex Exfoliating Pads

"The swipe that takes off yesterday's SPF and leaves skin looking more even."
Our take

$75 Price at YSE Beauty, checked Nov 2026.

The short answer

Yes if you want a gentle, consistent glycolic pad for texture and uneven-looking tone. These combine glycolic acid and PHAs with ectoin to support moisture. Skin looks brighter and smoother with steady use. Try the $17 travel pouch first, since the jar is a commitment.

At night, swipe one pad over clean, dry skin on face, neck and chest. Don't rinse. Follow with moisturizer. Start every other night.

Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: PHAs make it gentler than straight glycolic, and there's a refill option for the jar.
Skip it if: You're new to acids, using a strong retinoid, or your skin is reactive right now.
The catch: $75 for 45 pads, and daily acid use can irritate. SPF is non-negotiable.
