User-friendly, highly effective peeling pads with 5% AHA for gentle smoothing of the skin.

Tangible results are at the heart of every BABOR formula. Like their predecessor, the DOCTOR BABOR Refine Exfoliating Peel Pads, the DOCTOR BABOR RESURFACE Exfoliating Peel Pads apply the synergistic effect of three fruit acids (glycolic, citric, and lactic acid) with a concentration of 5% to improve the skin texture and restore radiance to dull skin for a more balanced complexion. Chemical and mechanical mechanisms ensure that dead skin cells are gently removed. It makes the skin smoother and more supple and can also stimulate regeneration of the epidermis. Enriched with the exclusive DOCTOR BABOR BIOGEN PLANT EXTRACT, the pinnacle of BABOR research, the skin’s natural processes are stimulated, thus promoting the skin’s youthful agility.

100% vegan and free of silicones, parabens, mineral oils, PEGs, microplastics, and other unnecessary ingredients, the Exfoliating Peel Pads were developed and perfected by BABOR experts based on BABOR’s ambitious “clean” formula policies.

How to Use

Cleanse the face, neck, and décolleté as usual. 1–2 times a week, coat the face gently with a pad. Please make sure to avoid the eye and mouth area. Use a new pad to apply it to your neck and décolleté. A slight tingling sensation is normal. Close the jar tightly after each use. Allow it to take effect for 5–10 minutes. For best results, complete the routine by applying DOCTOR BABOR The Cure Cream or your regular daytime skincare product. If you apply it in the morning, we highly recommend applying sunscreen throughout the day.

Key Ingredients

5% AHA (alpha hydroxy acids) packs a punch with the highly concentrated power of various acids and promotes a smoother and more balanced skin texture. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with a potent exfoliating effect that removes dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin, promoting the skin’s natural regeneration processes for a smoother and more radiant complexion. Glycolic acid has the smallest molecular size of all AHAs, allowing it to penetrate particularly deeply into the skin and unleash its cell-regenerating effect, which can improve the skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. At the same time, glycolic acid helps balance skin imperfections and refine enlarged pores for an overall more even complexion. Citric acid is also an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) with a gentle exfoliating effect. The removal of dead skin cells promotes natural skin regeneration and improves the overall appearance of the skin. The gentle antioxidant can help protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals by neutralizing them and thus promotes a smoother appearance. Like glycolic and citric acid, lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), but with a gentler exfoliating effect. Due to its larger molecular size, lactic acid penetrates the skin more slowly and therefore provides milder exfoliation. The moisturizing properties boost the suppleness of the skin. At the same time, it can stimulate collagen production, which helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles and makes the skin look firmer and more youthful.

The Cure Gel-Cream has a powerful anti-oxidative effect, stimulates the microbiome, and reinforces the skin’s protective barrier to alleviate and slow down undesired aging processes. Its invigorating properties also balance the skin while restoring youthful vitality and elasticity.

100% vegan and free of silicones, parabens, mineral oils, PEGs, microplastics, and other unnecessary ingredients, The Cure Gel-Cream was developed and perfected by BABOR experts in the company’s laboratories in Aachen, Germany, based on BABOR’s ambitious “clean” formula policies.
