Daily exfoliating pads for smoother, brighter-looking skin

ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads offer convenient, spa-level exfoliation at home.

Also known as ELEMIS resurfacing pads or ELEMIS facial pads, this format delivers a controlled dose of exfoliation with every use. Easy to apply and comfortable on skin, the dynamic resurfacing facial pads make it simple to maintain a polished, luminous finish between professional treatments or facials.

Benefits of ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads

Smoother texture and refined pores
Regular use helps soften rough patches, visibly smooth fine lines, and reduce surface congestion. Pores appear more refined as buildup is lifted, leaving skin looking polished without harsh physical exfoliation.

Brighter, more even-looking tone
AHAs and enzymes help address dullness and uneven tone, promoting a fresher, more luminous complexion with improved clarity over time.

Hydration and comfort
Humectants such as glycerin help maintain moisture during exfoliation, while calming elements support skin comfort. When followed with a nourishing moisturizer, skin feels balanced rather than tight or stripped.

Convenient daily exfoliation
The pre-soaked pad format ensures even distribution of actives, making exfoliation consistent, controlled, and easy to integrate into daily routines.

Who it’s for

Suitable for normal, combination, and oily skin, and often well tolerated by dry skin when followed with a nourishing moisturizer. Those with sensitive skin should start slowly, perform a patch test, and adjust frequency based on tolerance. If you have compromised skin, active breakouts, or use prescription retinoids, consult a professional before use.

ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads are pre-soaked exfoliating pads designed to smooth texture, refine pores, and enhance radiance. Formulated with AHAs, fruit enzymes, niacinamide, and hydrating ingredients, they resurface skin without abrasive scrubbing. Suitable for most skin types, they support clearer, more even-looking skin and help improve the absorption of follow-up skincare with regular use.

Product overview

Key ingredients and benefits
Alpha Hydroxy Acids such as lactic and glycolic acid help dissolve dull surface cells and refine texture. Fruit enzymes from papaya and pumpkin further smooth and brighten the skin. Niacinamide helps visibly even tone and minimize the appearance of pores, while glycerin supports hydration for comfort. Calming botanicals help balance exfoliation, making these resurfacing pads suitable for regular use.

How they resurface the skin
Each pad delivers a controlled level of chemical exfoliation. AHAs and enzymes loosen the bonds between dead skin cells so they lift away without physical abrasion. This process smooths rough areas, softens the appearance of fine lines, and boosts radiance. By clearing surface buildup, the dynamic resurfacing facial pads also enhance the absorption of serums and moisturizers applied afterward.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use these pads with retinol?
Yes, but alternate nights to minimize irritation. Avoid using them on the same evening as strong retinoids or other exfoliants.

Do I need sunscreen after using the pads?
Yes. Exfoliation can increase sun sensitivity. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every morning.

Are they suitable for sensitive skin?
Many with sensitive skin can use them by starting two to three times per week and following with a soothing moisturizer. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Can I use them with vitamin C serums?
Yes. Apply the pads after cleansing, allow the formula to absorb, then follow with vitamin C and moisturizer. Monitor for sensitivity and adjust frequency as needed.

When will I see results?
Some notice smoother texture and increased brightness within a week. Continued use over several weeks helps enhance clarity, even tone, and refined pores.
