Summer Fridays Gentle Reset Daily Exfoliating Pads — 30-count AHA + PHA toner pads for smooth, hydrated skin

Summer Fridays Gentle Reset Daily Exfoliating Pads are pre-soaked toner pads with AHAs and PHAs designed to gently resurface, smooth texture, and even skin tone for a refreshed complexion.

These single-use pads combine Korean-style acids and calming botanicals to offer a convenient, everyday exfoliation step without heavy scrubbing. Each pad is dual-sided — one smooth side delivers the acid blend and hydrating ingredients, while a textured side buffs away flaky, congested areas. The formula is fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested, and made to leave skin hydrated rather than stripped.

How do these pads fit into a daily skincare routine?

Use the pads after cleansing on dry skin, once per day or as needed, then follow with your usual serum and moisturizer. Because they contain acids, daytime use should be paired with sunscreen to protect the renewed skin layer. The pre-dosed pads streamline application and reduce product waste compared with pouring liquids onto cotton.

• Apply to face, neck, and décolletage on cleansed, dry skin.
• Use once daily or as your skin tolerates; avoid the eye area.
• Follow with moisturizer; use SPF during daytime routines.

What active ingredients are included and what do they do?

The pads combine mandelic, lactic, and glycolic acids with gluconolactone (a PHA) to provide both surface exfoliation and gentle cell turnover. Mandelic acid has a larger molecular size for milder penetration, while lactic and glycolic acids target texture and tone. Gluconolactone adds hydrating, antioxidant benefits and a gentler exfoliating action for sensitive skin.

• Mandelic acid: mild resurfacing and less irritation risk.
• Lactic and glycolic acids: help smooth texture and even tone.
• Gluconolactone: gentle PHA for hydration and antioxidant support.

Will these pads dry out or irritate my skin?

The formula includes soothing and hydrating botanicals like aloe water, heart leaf, bai wei, and hollyhock, plus glycerin to retain moisture. They’re fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested to minimize irritation, but individual tolerance varies — start slowly if you have reactive skin. The goal is a hydrated, comfortable finish rather than a tight, stripped feel.

• Soothing botanicals calm and reduce potential irritation.
• Glycerin locks in moisture after exfoliation.
• Fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested for gentler wear.

How are the pads constructed and how do I use each side?

Each pre-dosed pad is dual-sided: a soft, smooth face that deposits the exfoliating solution and a textured side designed to mechanically lift dry skin and clear congested spots. Glide the smooth side over larger areas, and use the textured side on the nose, chin, or flaky patches as needed. Dispose after single use to maintain hygiene and consistent dosing.

• Smooth side: distributes acids and hydrating ingredients evenly.
• Textured side: gently buffs away dead skin cells and surface congestion.
• Single-use pads ensure correct dosing and reduce contamination.

Who is this for? These Gentle Reset pads are made for people who want a convenient, daily exfoliation step that balances effective resurfacing with hydration — ideal for those aiming to smooth texture, even skin tone, and simplify a routine. They suit a range of skin types, including sensitive skin that can tolerate mild acids; if you have severe sensitivity or active irritation, consult a dermatologist before introducing acid exfoliants.
