Glycolic Acid Pads: Gentle Exfoliation & Barrier Repair | B2B OEM Skincare Solution

The global chemical exfoliation market is growing at a CAGR of 8.5%, with a 72% year-on-year surge in demand for "gentle, effective, multi-functional" exfoliation products. B2B partners (premium skincare brands, pharmacy chains, aesthetic clinics, cross-border e-commerce sellers) are prioritizing glycolic acid pads that solve core skin texture issues (dullness, rough skin, clogged pores, uneven tone) while protecting the skin barrier—avoiding the irritation of high-concentration exfoliants.
Core Technology & Active Ingredients: The Science of Gentle Exfoliation
Glycolic acid (AHA) is a gold standard for exfoliation, but unstable release often causes irritation. We combined with Vitamin B5’s repairing power, it forms a "exfoliation + repair" dual system—achieving effective skin renewal while protecting the skin barrier, a core competitive advantage for your B2B clients.
1. Star Ingredient Combination: 5% Pure Glycolic Acid + Vitamin B5
Sourced from high-purity raw materials (glycolic acid derived from sugarcane) and refined via 5-stage purification, the ingredient system has full traceability from extraction to final pad impregnation, ensuring safety and efficacy:
-
Glycolic Acid (5% Optimal Dose): Penetrates the stratum corneum to dissolve intercellular lipids, removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores; reduces dullness by 42% in 28 days (clinical data, n=380); minimizes the appearance of pores by 35% in 4 weeks; improves skin smoothness by 51% in 8 weeks.
-
Vitamin B5 (Panthenol, 2%): Deeply hydrates and soothes the skin, neutralizing glycolic acid’s potential dryness; repairs damaged skin barrier by enhancing ceramide synthesis, increasing barrier integrity by 68% in 28 days; reduces post-exfoliation redness by 53% instantly.
2. Synergistic Soothing & Hydrating System
The pad solution is formulated with 3 complementary actives to enhance the "exfoliation-repair" efficacy and improve user experience—tailored for global consumers with diverse skin types (including sensitive skin):
-
Allantoin (1%): Soothes post-exfoliation skin discomfort, reduces irritation and itching; promotes skin cell regeneration, accelerating the repair of mild damaged skin.
-
Sodium Hyaluronate (1.5%): Forms a moisture-locking film on the skin surface, increasing hydration by 65% instantly; reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) by 70%.
-
Chamomile Extract (1%): Antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, protecting skin from environmental damage; enhances the soothing effect, making the pads suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
