I’m impatient — and, like most people, prefer my gratification instant. This is particularly true as far as skincare is concerned. Ergo, I gravitate toward strong chemical exfoliators — the likes of which can reveal glowier, smoother skin in mere minutes. Though I’ve tried countless acid-spiked formulas, few have proven as convenient and fast-acting as the YSE Your Favorite Ex Exfoliating Pads.

I’m hardly alone in my adoration of the glow-inducing, acid-soaked cloths. Jennifer Garner revealed her predilection for the pads in a recent Vogue video, dubbing the product “a good one” as she massaged the discs over her face and neck. I happen to agree — as do others, who’ve made the pads a best seller for Molly Sims’ skincare brand, YSE Beauty, which launched earlier this year.

The Exfoliating Pads are a skin-sloughing set of swipeable cloth discs that are soaked in a blend of dermatologist-approved exfoliating acids. The container includes 45 single-use, textured fabric pads, making each treatment a mere 60 cents. 

Key ingredients include glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid that removes dead, dull surface skin cells to reveal smoother, more radiant skin in minutes. Glycolic acid “has also been shown to encourage new collagen growth and improve skin texture and fine lines,” dermatologist Dr. Melanie Palm, M.D. previously told InStyle, making the ingredient a win from an anti-aging standpoint, too. 

Polyhydroxy acid (PHA), a lesser-known, yet equally notable chemical exfoliator is a gentler acid that further induces skin softness. As dermatologist Dr. Ava Shamban, M.D., previously told InStyle, PHAs are also a “humectant, so they have the ability to support moisture retention in the extracellular matrix, giving a firmer, plumper appearance to the skin.”

In addition to the aforementioned key chemical exfoliators, the pads deliver ectoin, which “supports a healthy skin barrier,'' per the brand, and counteracts the potentially drying effects of chemical exfoliators.

Initially, I’d assumed the pads, which come in a large, stylish jar, were designed for use on the body, and had applied them as such. They’re actually meant for the face — though, after experiencing smoother, softer limbs, I’ve maintained my all-over approach. As with most chemical exfoliators, which can induce dryness if overused (particularly on sensitive skin), it’s prudent to start by using the pads once every few days. Per the instructions, the pads are perfect for incorporating two to three times per week, which is where I’ve landed. 

Conveniently, the pads are outfitted with a pocketlike flap on the back to facilitate breezy use; simply slip your fingers into the back and slough away. In the same vein, these pads are a godsend for travel. Whereas I used to bemoan crusty, dull skin on vacation, these TSA-friendly pads allow me to maintain my biweekly skin-sloughing schedule regardless of where I am. Finally, there’s no need to rinse the formula post-use — just swipe and go to experience glowier skin in seconds.
