Hevatox PHA AHA Exfoliating and Firming Pads

Why do the pads and essence come separately? Keeping the formula separate and pouring it over the pads at home means every pad from first to last is at full concentration.

What makes these pads different from standard exfoliating pads? Most exfoliating pads contain acids and hydrating ingredients. These pads also contain SP1-TOC — the patented topical lifting protein at the heart of the Hevatox line. That means the exfoliation step is also delivering the same lifting and smoothing active as the Gold Lifting Ampoule. You are refining the skin surface and priming it for treatment in a single step.

How often should I use these? Start at two to three evenings per week. Once your skin has acclimated over two to three weeks, you can assess whether daily evening use is appropriate for your skin type. Follow the guidance of your skincare provider if unsure.

Do I use these before or after the Gold Lifting Ampoule? Before. The pads prepare and refine the skin surface, and the ampoule follows on a freshly treated canvas. This sequencing maximizes the effectiveness of both products.

Can I use these if I also use retinoids? Do not use these pads and a retinoid on the same evening. Alternate  pads on exfoliation evenings, retinoid on non-pad evenings. If you are using the Hevatox Gold Eye Lift Cream which contains Retinal, apply it to the eye and lip area only and keep it separate from the pad application zone.

Can I use these on my neck and chest? Yes, if your skin in those areas is already accustomed to acid exfoliation. Start with face only and introduce the neck and chest after a few weeks of regular use.

Gluconolactone (PHA) - A polyhydroxy acid with a larger molecular size that works slowly at the surface of the skin. It gently loosens dead surface cells while drawing in water, so the complexion looks smoother and more supple rather than tight.

Glycolic Acid (AHA) - A classic resurfacing acid that helps refine the look of fine lines, roughness, and enlarged pores. Over time it promotes a more even, luminous skin tone and a fresher looking surface.

Derma Clera Herbal Complex (Cynanchum Atratum) - A calming botanical complex that supports a comfortable feel during exfoliation. It helps reduce the look of redness and supports the moisture barrier so the skin stays balanced after each use.

Theramogen ATC Botanical Blend - A mix of plant extracts such as Artemisia, Scutellaria, and Coptis known for antioxidant and comforting properties. This blend helps defend the skin against daily stress and keeps the post peel glow looking even and clear.

Topical Lifting Protein Peptide Complex (SP1) - An advanced peptide system that works at the surface of the skin to help soften the appearance of expression lines and improve the look of firmness when used consistently. It gives the pads a subtle smoothing and refining effect beyond basic exfoliation.

Rose Water and Hydrating Humectants - Rose water, glycerin, butylene glycol, and trehalose provide a veil of lightweight moisture so the skin feels fresh, smooth, and conditioned after each pad, not dry or stripped.

Pour the entire bottle of treatment essence into the jar of pads. Close the jar and allow the pads to absorb the essence for a few minutes before first use.

In the evening after cleansing, remove one pad from the jar. Using the textured side, gently swipe over the face and neck in light circular or sweeping motions — this side exfoliates and removes dead surface cells. Then flip the pad to the smooth side and press it gently over the same areas to infuse the SP1-TOC, acids, and botanical actives deeper into the skin surface.

Avoid the immediate eye area and lips. Do not rinse.

Follow with Hevatox Gold Lifting Ampoule and your preferred moisturizer. On evenings when using Hevatox Gold Eye Lift Cream, keep the pad away from the eye contour and apply the eye cream as the final step.

Most skin types do well starting two to three nights per week, then adjusting frequency as the skin acclimates. If you notice dryness or sensitivity, space applications farther apart and focus on extra hydration. Always apply a broad spectrum sunscreen in the morning when using exfoliating acids.

• For external use only.
• Avoid contact with eyes. If the product comes into contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
• Because this formula contains exfoliating acids, a mild tingling sensation can be normal. If you experience intense burning, itching, or visible irritation, rinse off with cool water and stop use.
• Do not apply to broken, freshly shaved, or inflamed skin.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the jar tightly closed to prevent the pads from drying out.

Disclaimer: Individual results may vary. Products sold at Skin Accord are formulated by their respective manufacturers to support healthy, balanced skin, but sensitivity can occur when introducing new active ingredients.

If layering skincare from multiple brands, introduce one new product at a time and monitor how your skin responds. Using several potent actives such as exfoliants, retinoids, or acids within the same routine may increase the likelihood of irritation.

Before using Hevatox PHA AHA Exfoliating and Firming Pads on the face, perform a patch test. On clean skin, swipe a small amount of product onto a discreet area such as the inner arm or behind the ear. Allow it to dry and leave on for 24 hours.

If you notice significant redness, burning, or discomfort during this time, rinse the area with water and do not begin facial use. If the skin looks and feels normal after 24 hours, you may start using the pads on the face following the directions above.
