Elemis
Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads
Dual-sided exfoliating pads with lactic acid and enzyme technology; ELEMIS lists jars of 60 pads and 14 pads.
- Lactic Acid
What it is
These are dual-sided exfoliating facial pads: one side is textured and the other smooth. ELEMIS combines its Tri-Enzyme Technology with lactic acid and a probiotic ferment complex, and lists 60-pad and 14-pad sizes.
Key ingredients
- Tri-Enzyme Technology: ELEMIS says it helps break up dead surface cells without compromising the skin’s moisture barrier.
- Lactic acid: The brand identifies it as an AHA that gently exfoliates and helps improve skin texture and tone.
- Probiotic ferment complex: ELEMIS says it supports the skin’s renewal process for visibly radiant-looking skin.
How to use
After cleansing, gently sweep one pad’s textured side over the face and neck in circular motions, then use the smooth side. ELEMIS directs use in the morning and evening and says to avoid the eye area.
Who should be careful
The formula contains lactic acid and fragrance. People sensitive to exfoliating acids or fragrance may want to review the ingredient list before use; follow the brand’s direction to avoid the eye area. This is general product information, not medical advice.
What the brand claims
ELEMIS reports that an independent 2019 clinical trial found accelerated natural cell turnover in 28 days, based on 36 people over four weeks. It also reports user-trial appearance findings from 120 people over four weeks in 2017. These are brand-reported results, not our findings.
