Any skincare pro will tell you that chemical exfoliation with acids is a key part of any effective skincare routine and can have benefits for multiple skin types and concerns, including uneven skin texture, scarring, breakouts, dry skin, and clogged pores, to name just a few.
Ideal for treating all the above, the latest additions to Yes To’s Grapefruit range have a concentrated blend of AHAs and BHAs which gently exfoliate, leaving your skin fresh and glowing.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Yes To Grapefruit Brightening Exfoliating Acid Pads
What are they?
Designed to be used as a three-month treatment, these pre-soaked pads offer a foolproof and convenient solution to exfoliation- they’re even travel-proof. In addition to the fruit acid blend, the textured pads themselves provide a gentle physical exfoliation.
What’s inside?
Grapefruit – Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, grapefruit helps to brighten dull skin and combat the free radicals that cause cell damage.
Glycolic acid – A popular AHA, glycolic acid works hard to break down the dead skin cells that clog pores and cause skin to appear dull, feel rough, and become prone to congestion.
Lactic acid – Like glycolic acid, lactic acid is an AHA which sloughs away dead skin. It has smaller molecules which cannot penetrate as deeply, so it’s great for targeting issues in the upper layers of the skin.
Salicylic acid – A BHA, derived from willow bark extract, salicylic acid is oil soluble, so although it has similar results to AHAs, it can penetrate deeper to target stubborn congestion.
Gluconolactone – A PHA, gluconolactone has smaller molecules than both AHAs and BHAs so provides a very gentle surface-level exfoliation of dead skin cells.
How do you use them?
Use once a week, in the evening. Swipe over clean, dry skin in gentle circular movements – press and hold on any stubborn blemishes and avoid the delicate eye area. Always remember to use SPF the following day.
