If you simply don’t have time for a 10-step skin care regimen or you’re constantly traveling, you need to invest in serum pads for all your hydration needs. Serum-infused pads or serum-activating pads make applying serum everywhere and anywhere super simple. You can use a serum pad while sitting at your desk, out holiday shopping or while waiting for your Uber.
Choosing a serum pad is easy — just pick the pad that best suits your skin type and addresses your needs. Vitamin C-infused serum pads are pretty popular since they offer constant nourishment and help even out your skin tone. There are even pads that boost collagen production for your on-the-go anti-aging needs.
These serum-activating pads exfoliate your skin and remove dead skin cells thanks to a 10 percent glycolic glow complex. They’ll instantly get your skin glowing while smoothing any fine lines and wrinkles.
A quick sheet mask in pad form? Genius. Enriched with vitamin C, it brightens and clarifies complexions in a flash.
