Your Questions Answered

Everything you need to know about our Gentle Renewal Exfoliating Pads.

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 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?

Why I created PURELY BELLA

A Message from Cathi

I spent 32 years watching women try to fix their skin with products not built for it.

When I started PURELY BELLA, I wasn't trying to launch a skincare line. I was trying to solve a problem I kept seeing in my treatment room: brilliant, beautiful women in their 40s and 50s who felt like their skin had suddenly turned on them. Products they'd trusted for years stopped working. Everything felt more sensitive. Nothing felt right.

The Perimenopause Method is the full routine I would build for every one of them. Morning to night. Clean to nourish. The skin changes in perimenopause are real and they deserve a real answer.

Get your glow on!

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!

A well-groomed face

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! ❤️

However, we're happy to hear that the scent dissipates and the results are impressive. Thank you for choosing our product and for your valuable feedback! ❤️

Gentle exfoliating pads = less fine lines and wrinkles

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.

Hands down my most favorite item they have. I love they are double sided, textured and smooth. I feel like it exfoliates my skin.

Thank you, Wendy! We're thrilled to hear you love the Gentle Renewal Exfoliating Pads. Your skin will thank you for the extra exfoliation. We appreciate your support!

Amazing product, highly recommend!

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!
