Collection: Mom's Bath Recipe

The Body Peeling Pads are pre-soaked exfoliating pads infused with AHA (typically glycolic or lactic acid) and BHA (salicylic acid) — chemical exfoliants that dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed gently without the abrasion of physical scrubs. Use after showering on clean, dry skin: sweep the pad across rough areas (upper arms, back, thighs, elbows, knees) and leave on to absorb. Use 2–3 times per week and pair with a body moisturiser. Visible smoother, brighter, less bumpy body skin appears in 2–4 weeks.

For keratosis pilaris ('chicken skin' bumps on the upper arms, thighs and cheeks), the Body Peeling Pad Strong is the most effective — its higher AHA/BHA concentration breaks down the keratin plugs that cause KP bumps. Use 2–3 times per week on affected areas, paired with a urea-based or lactic acid-based body moisturiser. Don't expect overnight results: KP is a chronic genetic condition that requires consistent management over 4–8 weeks for visible improvement. The bumps may return if treatment stops; ongoing maintenance is needed.

Yes — the Body Peeling Pad Trouble Care variant is specifically formulated for body breakouts (back acne, chest acne, butt acne, shoulder acne). The pads contain salicylic acid (BHA) at a concentration suited for body skin (typically slightly higher than for facial skin), which penetrates clogged pores and dissolves sebum plugs causing breakouts. Use 3–4 times per week on affected areas. For persistent or cystic body acne, consult a dermatologist — topical pads alone may not be sufficient for severe cases. Always pair with daily SPF50+ on exposed areas.

No — the Body Peeling Pads are leave-on treatments. Use after showering on clean, towel-dried skin: sweep the pad across target areas and let the actives absorb into the skin naturally. Don't rinse off. The pads' formulas are designed to be at a tolerable concentration that won't cause irritation when left on. Follow with a body moisturiser to lock in hydration and prevent dryness. Wait 15–20 minutes after using the pads before applying moisturiser if you want the actives to penetrate more deeply first.

AHAs and BHAs can be drying when stacked with retinol or strong actives on body skin. If you use retinol body lotions or other prescription topicals, alternate Mom's Bath Recipe pads with retinol nights (e.g., pads Monday/Wednesday/Friday, retinol Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday). Always apply a thick body moisturiser after any active treatment. Pregnancy: BHA in body products is generally tolerated when used in small areas, but consult your obstetrician if pregnant or breastfeeding. Always pair with daily SPF50+ on areas exposed to sun.
