I’m seriously impressed with the Purely Bella Gentle Renewal Exfoliating Pads! I’ve been using them in conjunction with the Purely Bella Day & Night Creams, and I’ve noticed a real difference in some of my stubborn dark spots.
I experienced a very light amount of peeling, which I actually loved because there was no redness, burning, or irritation. My skin feels incredibly soft, smooth, and refreshed afterward, and it has a beautiful radiant glow.
If you’re looking to gently renew your skin, improve the appearance of dark spots, and get that super-smooth, fresh-skin feeling, these pads have definitely become a favorite in my routine!

In my opinion, these exfoliating pads are fantastic; after using them, my face looks well-groomed and takes on a healthy glow and even tone. The only downside I’ve noticed is the scent of the pads. Since they are saturated with a solution containing several different acids, the smell isn't exactly pleasant. However, once that scent dissipates from your face, the visible results are truly impressive—almost from the very first use! ❤️

I am in love with this product. I used it before bed and woke up with my skin glowing and looking amazing!
This product is a game changer! It has made such an impact on my skin in the best way possible. They remove the dirt and oil and give my skin rejuvenation. Highly recommend!
Very nice product, its gentle and moisturizes your face instantly.
Thank you for the lovely review. We appreciate you.
The gentle renewal exfoliating pads make my skin feel incredible. I always use them when I am starting to feel dull, wrinkly and need a little extra glow. They are very gentle but after using them along with the brightening moisturizer, your skin is younger looking with less fine lines and wrinkles.

I am really impressed with these exfoliating pads! First of all, the ingredients list is great and very well-thought-out. They provide a thorough yet gentle cleanse, and after using them for a while, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in breakouts and skin blemishes. The packaging deserves a separate compliment - it’s not only beautiful and convenient but also very hygienic since it comes with a handy pair of tweezers to pick up the pads. Definitely a 5-star product!

The exfoliant pads are thick and double‑sided. One side has a waffle texture for exfoliating, and the other side is smooth for gentle cleansing. They clean the skin extremely well.

Your questions, answered
How often should I use the pads?
Start once weekly in the evening. Increase only as tolerated, to no more than three times weekly. Do not use the pads morning and evening on the same day.
How do I apply them?
After cleansing, gently sweep the textured side first and then flip to the smooth side, one pad over dry face and neck with light pressure. Avoid the eye area and do not scrub. Do not rinse; follow with moisturizer.
What are the exfoliating ingredients?
Mandelic and lactic acids provide AHA exfoliation. The formula also includes glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, willow bark, and other botanical extracts.
Can I use them with retinoids or other acids?
Do not combine them with other exfoliating products on the same day. When introducing the pads, use them on an evening without Dream Skin or other vitamin A products. Ask your dermatologist about combinations with prescription skincare.
Will they cause tingling, redness, or peeling?
No exfoliant can promise zero irritation. Start slowly and stop if irritation occurs. Persistent stinging or redness is not a reason to apply more often.
Do I need sunscreen?
Yes. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, follow its reapplication directions, and limit sun exposure while using exfoliating acids.
What if my skin is already irritated?
Wait until your skin has settled before introducing an exfoliant. If irritation persists or you are unsure whether acids suit your skin, ask your skincare professional.
What if the product is not right for me?
Your purchase is covered by our 90-Day Love It Guarantee. Contact contact@purelybellabeauty.com for help with your order and the applicable refund terms.
