It’s a white textured pad that is saturated in lactic acid, retinol, & arbutin to help resurface, smooth, & clarify the skin by reducing the appearance of large pores, hyperpigmentation, & blemishes. Once a week after cleansing at night I apply it. It leaves me glowing and is gentle enough for my skin sinced it caused me absolutely no irritation. I follow up with all my moisturizers & always make sure to limit sun exposure the next couple and it helps improve my skin texture completely.
