Exfoliating helps slough away built-up skin cells on the skin’s surface to reveal an even, brighter-looking complexion. You can go the physical route, i.e. scrubs that help manually exfoliate, or the chemical route, which involves using products that contain ingredients like alpha-hydroxy-acids. In the latter category are exfoliating peel pads.  Exfoliating peel pads are typically cotton rounds or squares that are infused with alpha-hydroxy-acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy-acids (BHAs) to break down dead surface skin cells in one sweep. The disposable skincare product is perfect for when you’re on the go or looking for the convenience of a wipe. Here, we rounded up seven editor-approved exfoliating peel pads that will help you wipe your way to smoother, brighter-looking skin. L'Oréal Paris Bright Reveal Brightening Daily Peel PadsThese peel pads are a two-in-one anti-wrinkle and brightening treatment.
