As autumn settles in, our skin might be starting show the effects of the changing weather and become dry, dull and uneven in tone. With the drop of in humidity and harsher winds, a buildup of dead skin cells can leave the complexion looking tired.
Exfoliatiing is a great solution for dull complexions, and Zelens’ PHA+ Resurfacing Facial Pads are a simple, effective way to gently renew the skin, revealing a smoother texture and a natural, healthy glow. As the season shifts, this small addition to a skincare routine can make a noticeable difference in maintaining radiance through the colder months.
Priced at £45 and available at Liberty, the fragrance-free Zelens resurfacing pads are said to be suitable for sensitive skin and each pad is drenched in a potent complex of PHA, AHA and BHA, which help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and blemishes. It’s also infused with antioxidants from green Shiso leaves to shield against environmental damage and prevent skin reactivity.
In addition to that, shoppers will feel a surge of hydration and smoothness to the skin after use. Dr Marko Lens added: « With the PHA+ Resurfacing Facial Pads, we’ve engineered a solution that not only effectively removes dead skin cells but also deeply hydrates and protects. »
Loose Women panellist Ruth Langsford has also started using exfoliating pads recently and she used Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Daily (£19.95) as part of her evening skincare routine. With glycolic acid as the key ingredient, the pads are the first skincare product Ruth uses after cleansing.
At Amazon, shoppers can enjoy 24% off on the First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads. Designed for sensitive skin, the pads are soaked in serum infused with glycolic and lactic acids. Available at £13.77 instead of £18, it has garnered 1,800 five-star reviews that one said: « Especially brilliant to use as part of routine before applying any foundation or other makeup they make such a visible difference. »
Dr Marko recommends using the Zelens facial pads on the face and neck while avoiding direct contact with the eyes. It can be used daily after cleansing, just leave the pads on or rinse after five minutes. Shoppers can then follow with their usual skincare routine and SPF.
A shopper left a review that read: « I love these pads. They make my skin look even and smoother. I have sensitive skin and they didn’t cause any irritation, they are effective but not aggressive. »
Another person was happy to see her skin glowing as she shared: « They’re super gentle on my skin but still leave it feeling smoother, brighter, and more refined. No irritation at all, just a healthy glow. »
One reviewer said the expensive price tag might stop them from repurchasing, adding: « For £45, you are getting 50 pads. That’s 90p each and if you’re using it both in the morning and evening, it won’t even last for a month. »
However someone else found them great for their blemish-prone skim. They said: « These are very gentle but effective exfoliating pads. They don’t irritate my skin. Definitely a good purchase for people struggling with breakouts. »
