Discos exfoliantes faciales de ácido láctico de doble cara Prep & Reset

The two-sided Lactic Acid Exfoliating Facial Pads by Cosmedix are called Prep & Reset. If you are looking for a refined resurfacing treatment, you must choose this one. You get pre-soaked exfoliating pads that help with the chemical exfoliation process. 

The product is a lactic acid exfoliant that is compatible with all skin types; even people with patchy, uneven, and dull skin tones can also use this product. Its formula is based on a complex of Lactic Acid, Gluconic acid, and Kojic Acid. Moreover, Lactic Acid, the primary AHA derivative, helps loosen the bonds in dead skin.

The formula encourages quick cell turnover, without intervention of formulas with harsh acids. Meanwhile, Phytic and Gluconic acid play a key role in exfoliation and deliver a pronounced brightening effect. In addition, Kojic Acid is a dedicated agent for removing dark spots. 

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is woven into the formula to ensure that exfoliation is met with genuine barrier support. As the acids lift and resurface, Niacinamide helps retain and add more water to the skin. Therefore, your skin looks smooth and functions well. 

Prep & Reset also blends Carica papaya extracts with papain that removes all dullness and impurities from the skin. Glutathione and Retinyl Palmitate are other key elements in the formula with antioxidant protection and skin-conditioning support. 

To balance the effect of actives, this lactic acid exfoliant also contains Chamomile and Heterotheca Inuloides Flower Extract.

Q. What do Prep & Reset pads do for the skin? 

A. They cleanse the skin of dead cells and toxins. The key organic activities that help in the process are acids and multiple fruit enzymes. In addition, Niacinamide helps protect the skin barrier. As a result, you get an assured better skin which is fresh and plump. 

Q. What's the difference between the two sides of the pad? 

A. The smooth side applies the formula evenly and gently, priming skin for serums and moisturizer. The textured side gives a more physical exfoliation for a deeper reset. You can use one side or both in the same session, depending on what your skin needs.

Q. Can Prep & Reset be used on sensitive skin? 

A. Yes. The formula includes calming extracts like Chamomile alongside the exfoliating acids, helping to keep irritation in check. That said, it's worth starting slowly, and using for a maximum of 1-3 times per week, building up as the skin adjusts.

Q. Why are these PM-only pads? 

A. Lactic Acid and the other active acids in the formula increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. Using them at night and applying SPF the following morning keeps the skin protected and the results intact.

Q. How often should I use Prep & Reset? 

A. One to three times a week is the recommended starting point. Some people find every two to three nights works better for their skin. Let your skin be the guide.

Q. Do I rinse the pads off? 

A. Yes. Leave the formula on for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse the lactic acid exfoliating pads with warm water and pat dry. Follow with your Cosmedix serum and moisturizer.

Q. Can Prep & Reset help with dark spots and pigmentation? 

A. Yes. Kojic Acid and Phytic Acid in the formula specifically target dark spots and uneven pigmentation, with visible improvement over several weeks of consistent use.

Q. Can these pads be used after professional treatments? 

A. Ask your aesthetician first. During treatment, you don’t usually use exfoliating acids. Once the skin shows all possible signs of recovery, you can restart the exfoliation process. Prep & Reset is a practical choice for maintaining results once the skin is ready.

Q. What should I apply after using the pads? 

A. Apply your COSMEDIX serum first, then use your preferred or recommended moisturizer.
