Key ingredients for glowing results

Glycolic Acid

Glycolic acid is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). It works by exfoliating and breaking down the outer layer of dead skin cells; making skin appear smoother and more even.

Gluconolactone

Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that acts not only as an exfoliating acid, but also as a hydrator and antioxidant, making it gentler than other acids. It also provides long-term anti-aging benefits.

Ectoin

Ectoin is a multi-functional active that protects against environmental stressors, hydrates to keep skin nourished and soothes the skin with its anti-inflammatory properties. It improves overall skin barrier function.

Amazing!!!

"When I tell you I take my face routine very seriously I’m not joking… facials monthly, lasers 3 times a year (at least). I’ve always struggled with dry skin since starting perimenopause and my esthetician has done her best. I used these products for 3 weeks before my facial visit and she was floored. Best my skin has ever looked according to what she seen in hydration, skin texture, and pore cleanliness. 1000/10 recommend!!!"

Run, don’t walk to get these!

"I’m on my third refill of these pads. I was using a glycolic gel overnight treatment but these work so much better and faster. I’m about to turn 50 and have noticed a huge difference in my forehead lines! I see some reviews saying the pads are dry- I worried about that too at first but pro tip- turn the jar upside down and voila! Use with the peptide serum and your skin will literally glow. I can’t say enough about these!"

Jess D. (5/5)

Surprise sleeper holy grail for sensitive/rosacea

"I’ve been using these since 2023 and they really are a holy grail product. I don’t know how they packed such a punch of effective ingredients in these while still being pretty gentle for my skin— this is coming someone with pretty sensitive and rosacea skin. I’m not sure these will ever go out of rotation for me tbh. Acids definitely aren’t for everybody, particularly those of us who suffer from hypersensitive skin, rosacea, or other medical concerns but at least for me I can say that my skin tolerates these super super well and has consistently benefited from them over the years."

Zoë (5/5)

Incredible

"I have sensitive skin and a bit of rosacea so I can’t use harsh exfoliants. This product is gentle enough that it does NOT irritate my skin at all! And it brightens, and also has shrunk my milia by like 80%. Truly amazing."

Alexandra F. (5/5)

Love These!

"I just got these and love them. i use them evrery morning and am shocked at the dirt that accumulates overnight. these pads do a wonderful cleaning job. i am ordering the refills!"

Karen L. (5/5)

A pleasant surprise

"Every exfoliation product I’ve used, had that gritty texture. I was so surprised that these pads were soft with a liquid. No rough scrubbing, just smoothing. I think I am going to really like these. They make my face feel very soft after. Another product from YISE that I’m learning and enjoying."

Natalie D. (5/5)

Great exfoliation

"I’m love these pads!!!! I have reordered several times and just reorder the refill bag. It is great because you save money! I use every night before bed. then I do them retinal serum, then the moisturizer! So Gucci and easy! My face is so smooth now and I can tell dark spots fading and wrinkles getting less noticeable:"

Stephanie E. (5/5)

Pricey but Perfect

"I first tried these in the mini size and then I went back for the full size! These are large and I love the pocket. No irritation to my skin barrier. They are an investment but worth it in my opinion"

Stephanie S. (5/5)

Love Your Ex!

"I love these exfoliating pads, they feel gentle, they don’t stink, they are not drying yet they do the job, my skin always feels firmer and smoother when I use these consistently. Love them."

Candice F. (5/5)

Xtremely Worth It!

"Just bought my first refill and I love that I can reuse my original Your Favorite Ex Pads container. I have sensitive skin but these exfoliating pads are gentle and leave my skin feeling so smooth!"
