Winter is one of our favourite seasons for skin rejuvenation. With less UV exposure and more time spent focusing on corrective treatments, it’s the perfect opportunity to elevate your home skincare routine. One product we find ourselves reaching for time and time again? The iS Clinical Peel Pads.
In a world where exfoliating pads seem to be appearing on every shelf, it can be difficult to know which products are actually supporting your skin and which may be doing more harm than good. Many over-the-counter peel pads contain strong exfoliating ingredients with little guidance around usage, often leading to irritation, sensitivity and compromised skin barriers.
The difference with iS Clinical Peel Pads is that they have been formulated with professional-grade ingredients, balanced exfoliation and skin-supporting antioxidants to deliver brighter, smoother skin without unnecessary trauma. Unlike many over-the-counter alternatives, these aren’t a one-size-fits-all product. At Harleh, we’ll show you exactly how to use them, when to use them and how to incorporate them into your routine so your skin receives all the benefits without the risk of overdoing it.
What Are iS Clinical Peel Pads?
iS Clinical Peel Pads are a convenient at-home exfoliation treatment designed to gently resurface the skin, remove excess dead skin cells and encourage a brighter, more refined complexion. Think of them as your mini professional skin refresh between appointments.
Unlike traditional scrubs that physically buff the skin, peel pads work through a blend of carefully selected acids and botanical ingredients that dissolve dead skin build-up while supporting overall skin health.
The result?
Brighter skin
Improved texture
Reduced congestion
More even skin tone
Enhanced absorption of your active skincare products
The Key Ingredients
One of the reasons we love these pads is because they’re not just exfoliating—they’re treating the skin at the same time.
Tripeptide-1 (Copper Tripeptide-1) - Clinically proven to help diminish the appearance of premature aging and visibly reduce wrinkles over time.
Extremozymes - Proprietary combination of enzymes that are clinically proven to help protect skin from environmental aggressors.
Mixed Fruit Acids - Natural fruit and sugar acids work to enhance exfoliation, smooth skin and decrease the appearance of fine lines while enabling improved absorption of other ingredients.
Sugarcane - AHA that gently exfoliates the skin for a renewed complexion.
Who Are They For?
The iS Clinical Peel Pads are suitable for many skin types, particularly those concerned with:
Dull skin
Uneven skin tone
Congestion and blackheads
Mild acne concerns
Rough texture
Early signs of ageing
As with all active skincare, we always recommend chatting with one of our therapists before introducing a new product, particularly if you have highly sensitive or reactive skin.
When Should You Use Them?
For most clients, we recommend using the Peel Pads in the evening after cleansing.
Depending on your skin type and treatment plan, they may be used anywhere from 1–2times per week through to every other night. Remember: more isn’t always better. Over-exfoliation is one of the most common causes of skin barrier impairment we see in clinic. Healthy skin is balanced skin, which is why your usage should always be tailored to your individual skin goals.
Want to elevate your self-care night?
Here’s our favourite winter ritual:
Begin with an oil or creamy cleanser to melt away makeup, SPF and the day’s impurities. Follow with a gel-based cleanser for a deeper cleanse and fresh, clean canvas.
If you have a home LED device, now is the perfect time to use it. Freshly exfoliated skin allows your LED treatment to work even more effectively.
Next, sweep your iS Clinical Peel Pad across the face, neck and backs of the hands, areas that often show signs of ageing and sun exposure but are frequently forgotten avoiding the eyes and lips.
Follow with your favourite corrective serums. Lock everything in with a nourishing moisturiser, extending all products down the neck and onto the backs of the hands for a complete treatment.
Finish with a hydrating lip treatment and if your skin is craving extra nourishment, an overnight treatment or mask. Pop on your favourite pyjamas, make a cup of tea and let your skin soak up all the goodness while you relax
The peel pad helps remove surface build-up and allows the products applied afterwards to penetrate more effectively, maximising your results. It’s the perfect way to maintain your professional treatment outcomes between visits.
Which Treatments Pair Best With Peel Pads?
We love incorporating Peel Pads into treatment plans alongside:
Pico Genesis - To support brighter, more even skin tone and maintain pigment correction results.
Laser Genesis - To keep skin smooth, radiant and glowing between appointments.
Skin Needling - Once your therapist has advised it is appropriate, Peel Pads can help maintain ongoing skin renewal.
Cosmedix Deep Sea Peel - An excellent addition after completing your treatment series to help prolong your fresh, refined results.
Customised Skin Peels - Helping continue cellular turnover and maintain treatment momentum at home.
Have You Heard About The Brightening Peel Pads?
For clients wanting to target pigmentation, sun damage and uneven skin tone, the iS Clinical Brightening Peel Pads take things one step further.
These advanced peel pads combine exfoliation with powerful brightening ingredients designed to help reduce the appearance of discolouration and support a more luminous complexion.
They’re particularly popular during winter when many clients are focusing on correcting pigmentation accumulated throughout the warmer months. Whether you’re dealing with sun spots, post-inflammatory pigmentation or simply looking to achieve a brighter overall complexion, these pads can be an incredible addition to a professionally guided skin journey.
The Harleh Difference
At Harleh, we believe great skin isn’t about using the strongest products, it’s about using the right products.
While social media may convince you that everyone needs aggressive exfoliation, the reality is that skin health comes from balance, education and personalised recommendations.
That’s why every skincare recommendation we make is based on your skin, your concerns and your goals. If you’ve been curious about incorporating peel pads into your routine, we’d love to help guide you towards the right option for your skin journey x
