Per treatment
Dullness and rough texture often build together.
When dead surface cells accumulate unevenly, skin can look flat, feel rough and reflect light less evenly. Controlled lactic-acid exfoliation helps loosen this buildup while glycerin and botanical extracts support a more balanced treatment experience.
Surface renewalLactic acid helps loosen dull surface buildup to reveal smoother, fresher-looking skin.
Visible brightnessPapaya, pineapple and bearberry extracts support a brighter, more even-looking finish.
Measured applicationEach pre-soaked pad delivers a convenient, consistent treatment step without pouring or guesswork.
Why lactic acid works well for visible dullness.
Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid used to refine surface texture and improve the look of uneven, lacklustre skin. The finished formula strength still depends on its concentration and pH, so controlled frequency matters more than aggressive daily use.
One resurfacing acid. Three botanical supports.
The formula keeps lactic acid as the primary exfoliating active, then surrounds it with fruit and leaf extracts selected to support radiance, softness and a more even-looking finish.
Papaya Extract
A botanical fruit extract included to support the formula's fresh, resurfacing profile and help skin look smoother and less dull.
Pineapple Extract
A fruit extract selected to complement lactic-acid resurfacing and support a brighter, refreshed-looking complexion.
Bearberry Extract
A botanical extract used to support visible brightness and a more even-looking tone where skin appears dull or irregular.
Resurface first. Support brightness alongside it.
This is a lactic-acid peel pad with a complementary phyto-extract complex—not a harsh multi-acid peel designed to force rapid visible shedding.
Designed for skin that looks dull, rough or uneven.
A measured resurfacing treatment for people who want a smoother surface and a brighter finish without adding another bottle to the routine.
Dull-looking skinFor complexions that look flat, tired or lacking visible radiance.
Rough textureHelps refine the look and feel of uneven surface buildup.
Uneven-looking toneSupports a clearer, more uniform-looking finish over time.
Dry surface buildupLactic acid offers water-compatible AHA resurfacing with glycerin included for hydration support.
Routine overloadReplaces a separate liquid exfoliant and disposable cotton round with one measured pad.
Occasional resurfacingDesigned for controlled weekly use rather than constant exfoliation.
The pad is part of the treatment.
Each pre-soaked pad is made from textured plant-fibre cotton to spread the liquid evenly across the skin. The texture improves product distribution—it is not intended for forceful physical scrubbing.
- Pre-soaked with a measured amount of treatment essence.
- Textured surface supports even application across the face.
- Plant-fibre construction fits the range's treatment-pad format.
- One pad is sufficient for the face and selected neck areas.
- No separate bottle, dropper or cotton round required.
- Close the jar immediately to protect pad saturation.
One pad. One controlled resurfacing step.
Use at night on clean, completely dry skin. Swipe gently over the face, avoiding the eye area, lips and any broken or irritated skin.
Allow the essence to absorb, then follow with a simple moisturiser. Do not add pressure to make the treatment feel stronger.
- Use one pad at night on clean, dry skin.
- Swipe gently over the face or selected areas.
- Avoid eyelids, lips and the immediate eye area.
- Allow the essence to remain on the skin.
- Follow with a simple moisturiser.

3
MoisturiseFollow with a gentle moisturiser to support comfort and barrier balance.
4
ProtectApply SPF 50 every morning and reapply as required.
Introduce slowly. Do not stack exfoliation.
Consistency matters more than intensity, especially when skin is dry, reactive or prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation.
How to introduce it
- Patch test before first use.
- Start with one pad once or twice weekly at night.
- Increase gradually only if skin remains comfortable.
- Use a bland moisturiser after application.
- Keep the lid tightly closed between uses.
- Use SPF 50 every morning.
What to avoid
- Do not use on broken, raw, freshly waxed or compromised skin.
- Do not scrub hard with the textured pad.
- Avoid retinoids, other exfoliating acids and strong peel treatments in the same routine.
- Do not increase frequency if skin feels hot, tight, raw or persistently uncomfortable.
- Stop use if persistent burning, swelling or significant irritation occurs.
- Do not use without consistent daytime sun protection.

Lactic Phyto-Enzyme Peel Pads FAQ
What are Lactic Phyto-Enzyme Peel Pads for?
They are designed to help lift dull surface buildup, refine rough texture and support a smoother, brighter and more even-looking finish.
How many pads are in the jar?
Each jar contains 40 pre-soaked textured plant-fibre cotton pads in 50 mL of treatment essence.
How often should I use them?
Start once or twice weekly at night. Increase gradually only if the skin remains comfortable and free from persistent dryness or irritation.
Do I rinse after using a pad?
No. Allow the treatment essence to absorb, then follow with a simple moisturiser.
What does phyto-enzyme mean?
It refers to the papaya and pineapple fruit extracts within the formula's botanical resurfacing complex. Lactic acid remains the primary exfoliating active.
Can I use them with retinol or retinal?
Use them on alternate nights rather than in the same routine, particularly while the skin is adjusting to either product.
Are the pads rough?
The plant-fibre pads have a visible texture to help spread the essence. Use gentle pressure only; they are not designed to be used like a physical scrub.
How do I stop the pads drying out?
Close the lid firmly immediately after removing a pad. Store the jar upright, away from heat and direct sunlight, and do not leave it open between uses.
If pigmentation keeps returning, exfoliation may only be one part of the routine.
Lactic Phyto-Enzyme Peel Pads provide controlled surface renewal and brightness support. Recurring melasma or widespread pigmentation usually also needs daily correction, barrier-aware care and consistent sun protection.
Brightening CleanserPrepares skin without stripping the barrier.
Mela PeelSupports controlled resurfacing and pigment refinement.
Brightening ComplexTargets stubborn-looking pigmentation and uneven tone.
Mela Bright SerumSupports night-time brightness, clarity and smoother-looking skin.
