Replenix Gly-Sal Clarifying Acne Pads — 60 Count, 5% Glycolic & 2% Salicylic Exfoliating Pads for Acne-Prone Skin

Replenix Gly-Sal Clarifying Acne Pads are pre-soaked exfoliating pads with medical-grade 5% glycolic acid and 2% salicylic acid designed to help clear surface oils, refine pores, and reduce visible blemishes.

These ready-to-use pads combine two proven exfoliants in a single step to support a clearer, more even-looking complexion without heavy oils or complicated routines. Each soft pad is saturated with a balanced formula that sloughs away dead skin cells, targets clogged pores, and calms skin with soothing witch hazel. They’re made for acne-prone skin and crafted by Replenix with dermatology experience and clean ingredient priorities.

How do these pads fit into a daily skincare routine?

Use the Gly-Sal pads after cleansing and before moisturizing, morning or evening, to add chemical exfoliation without extra rinsing. They’re convenient for quick application on busy days and designed to be gentle enough for regular use when your skin tolerates acids. Start slowly and increase to daily as tolerated.

• Apply after face wash and pat skin dry.
• Gently sweep across face, neck, or targeted areas—use both sides of the pad.
• Do not rinse; follow with serums and moisturizer.
• Always use sunscreen during the day when using exfoliating acids.

What do the active ingredients do for my skin?

The formula pairs glycolic acid, an AHA that helps remove the top layer of dead skin cells for smoother texture and tone, with salicylic acid, a BHA that penetrates pores to help reduce clogging. Witch hazel adds a calming, astringent component to help tone the skin after exfoliation. This combination tackles both surface roughness and pore congestion for a complementary approach.

• 5% glycolic acid: promotes surface exfoliation and brighter tone.
• 2% salicylic acid: helps dissolve pore-clogging debris and oil.
• Witch hazel: soothes and helps refine the appearance of pores.
• Non-oily formula: suitable for those who prefer light-feeling products.

Are these pads safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Formulated specifically with acne-prone skin in mind, the pads exclude synthetic fillers, solvents, and preservatives and include calming witch hazel. Individuals with sensitive or reactive skin should perform a patch test and introduce acids gradually—every other day—to assess tolerance. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a skincare professional.

• Start with short contact and less frequent use if sensitive.
• Avoid concurrent use with other strong exfoliants or retinoids initially.
• Patch test behind the ear or along the jawline first.
• Stop if redness, stinging, or significant irritation appears.

Who is this for? Replenix Gly-Sal Clarifying Acne Pads are aimed at people with oily or acne-prone skin who want a convenient, science-backed exfoliation step to help manage breakouts and refine texture. They suit users looking to reduce surface oil and improve pore clarity without heavy creams or time-consuming treatments. Not recommended for those advised to avoid chemical exfoliants; consult a dermatologist if you have chronic skin conditions or are unsure how acids will interact with prescription treatments.
