Peel Pads

Technology

A closer look at what makes peel pads a desired at-home treatment for modern day consumers .

by Dr . Charlene DeHaven
Background .
Peel pads , a home exfoliation product , are readily available for home use and are very popular , and the convenience of home use is a major selling point . Since these are used on a regular basis at home and without professional oversight , the degree of exfoliation obtained is less than that of an in-office treatment , and the percentage of ingredients is usually less as well .
By increasing exfoliation , the user hopes to improve the condition of the skin . Peel pads may also be recommended as a preparation for an in-office treatment or as maintenance between in-office treatments . 3
