Best for
Blemish-prone, combo, dry, normal and oily skin targeting breakouts, congestion, uneven texture and dullness. The weekly step that keeps pores clear and helps every serum absorb deeper.
How to use
Sweep one pad evenly over clean, dry face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Do not rinse. Allow to absorb before applying additional products. Use 1 to 3 times weekly in the evening, or as directed. Tighten cap after use to prevent pads from drying out.

Salicylic Acid 2% (active) — penetrates pores to clear oil and acne bacteria. Glycolic Acid 5% — exfoliates the surface for renewed, smoother skin. Lactic Acid 5% — smooths texture while adding gentle hydration. Botanical Soothers — aloe, cucumber and chamomile reduce irritation.

What's inside, and what it does
- Salicylic Acid 2%
- Oil-soluble BHA that penetrates inside pores to clear oil and acne bacteria — the recognized OTC acne active.
- Glycolic Acid 5%
- The smallest AHA — exfoliates the surface for renewed, visibly smoother skin.
- Lactic Acid 5%
- A gentler AHA that smooths texture while adding hydration instead of taking it.
- Botanical Soothers
- Aloe, cucumber, chamomile, licorice and beta-glucan calm skin while the acids work.
Scrubs polish the surface. Acids reset it.
Why scrubs and wipes fall short
- Physical scrubs polish dead cells off the top while pores stay congested underneath — and can create micro-tears on blemish-prone skin.
- Single-acid products solve one problem: BHA alone misses surface texture, AHA alone misses what's inside the pore.
- Harsh acne wipes strip and inflame, trading congestion for irritation.
How Glow Reset works differently
- Three acids, three jobs: salicylic clears inside the pore, glycolic renews the surface, lactic smooths and hydrates.
- Alcohol-free and rinse-free, buffered by a full botanical calming complex — correction without the sting-and-strip cycle.
- One pad, once weekly to start: a controlled micro-peel that also helps every serum after it absorb deeper.

How to use it in your ritual
Evening, on clean, dry skin — Luminous Cleanser first, pat fully dry.
One pad over face and neck, avoiding eyes. A light tingle is normal. Do not rinse.
Let it absorb fully, then continue your routine. Start once weekly; build to 2–3× as tolerated.
Where Glow Reset Pads fits
Clear Power Duo
Built for congestion and texture: Glow Reset Pads clear and refine weekly while VITA-CE brightens every morning.
Before you add to cart
Is tingling normal?
A light, brief tingle is normal and expected with active acids. It should settle within a couple of minutes. Burning, stinging that persists, or redness that lasts hours means reduce frequency — or message us.
How often should I use them?
Start once weekly in the evening and build to 2–3 times as your skin tolerates. More isn't better with acids — consistency at the right frequency is what clears and smooths.
Can I use them with Midnight Reset?
Not the same night — alternate them. Acids and retinoids are teammates on a schedule, not in a stack.
Do I rinse afterward?
No — they're rinse-free by design. Sweep, let absorb, then continue your routine.
Will they help active breakouts?
Salicylic acid 2% is the recognized over-the-counter acne treatment strength — it clears pore congestion and helps prevent future breakouts. For persistent or cystic acne, book a consult; that's a treatment-plan conversation.
Can I use them before an event?
Yes — many clients sweep a pad two to three nights before events for the smooth-canvas effect. Just never the night immediately before if it's your first time using them.
