What it is

Pre-soaked exfoliating pads from Somme Institute, a dermatological research lab behind the MDT5 vitamin delivery system. A concentrated dose of the brand's formula in soft, saturated pads for exfoliation without any harsh abrasion.

What it does

Buffs and polishes away excess oils and dead cells to promote cell renewal, purging pores of impurities while softening the look of fine lines and wrinkles. The buffered 8% AHA formula keeps the exfoliation gentle while improving tone, texture, and clarity.

Who it's for

Dull, textured, or uneven skin that wants a daily chemical exfoliation. Sensitive skin starts slow: wring out the first few pads and build up to regular strength over time.

How to use

How much: One pad, morning and evening, after cleansing.

1. After cleansing, smooth one pad over your clean face, neck, and chest.
2. Let it air dry; do not rinse.
3. Follow with serum and moisturizer, and finish with a minimum SPF 30 sunscreen in the morning. Sensitive skin: wring out the first few pads and build up to regular use.

Where it fits: After the Nourishing Cleanser, before the Serum, in the Somme sequence.

About the brand

Somme Institute

Dermatologist-developed, vitamin-powered skincare

Somme Institute was founded on a simple belief: skincare companies should deliver on the claims they promise. They assembled a team of research dermatologists, tested nearly every product and ingredient on the market using UV photography and more than 5,000 subjects over eight years, and developed MDT5, a patented delivery system that gets vitamins A, B3, B5, C, and E where they actually need to go.

We stock Somme Institute because their vitamin-delivery technology is backed by real clinical testing, and the before-and-afters are hard to argue with.

Skincare questions, answered

Where does this go in my routine?

Thinnest to thickest: cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, then SPF in the morning. This product's How to use section above tells you its exact step.

When will I see results?

Give it 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use — that's one full skin cycle. Hydration shows up in days; tone and texture take weeks. If your skin reacts badly (stinging, new breakouts that don't settle within a week), stop using it.

I have sensitive skin. Will this irritate me?

Patch test first: a dab behind your ear or along your jawline, wait 24 hours. Fragrance-free formulas are the safest bet for reactive skin — check the highlights on this page.
