The result: dull skin, recurring blackheads, and residual pigmentation from old pimples that just won’t fade. Weekly intensive exfoliation is the step that breaks this cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe DermaQuest Universal Clarifying Pads combine multiple acids in one step: 10% lactic acid, 2% salicylic acid, mandelic acid, and skin-brightening phytic and kojic acids.

At this concentration, lactic acid works clearly as an exfoliant while simultaneously binding moisture to the skin — an important property that stronger acids lack. It fades pigmentation spots and softens fine lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalicylic Acid (2%):\u003c\/strong\u003e A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that is fat-soluble and therefore penetrates deep into the pore. It loosens hardened sebum and skin cells, reduces inflammation, and targets the cause of blackheads. Works synergistically with the AHAs in this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMandelic Acid:\u003c\/strong\u003e An AHA with a larger molecule than glycolic or lactic acid, making it less penetrating and gentler on the skin. It regulates sebum production and refines skin texture — a valuable addition for those with acne and sensitive skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKojic Acid \u0026amp; Phytic Acid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both ingredients inhibit melanin production and help fade pigmentation spots. Phytic acid also acts as an antioxidant against free radicals and UV damage.

The combination of AHAs, BHAs, and alcohol is intensive — using it more often can weaken the skin barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoes the product contain alcohol and is that a problem?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eYes, the pads contain SD Alcohol 40-B as a solvent. For very dry or sensitive skin, this can cause irritation — start with once a week and observe how your skin reacts. Always follow up with a hydrating moisturizer to support the skin barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCan I combine the pads with retinol or other acids?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNot on the same evening.
