Dual-action clarifying pads for acne & uneven texture
Meet the Goodbye Acne™ Max Complexion Correction Pads from Peter Thomas Roth — pre-soaked pads infused with maximum-strength 2% salicylic acid and a potent 10% glycolic acid complex to visibly clear breakouts and exfoliate for smoother, more refined skin. The dual-sided pad system offers a gentle cleanse on one face and textured exfoliation on the other to target blackheads, enlarged pores and uneven tone. While the active acids work to exfoliate and purify, soothing botanicals help minimize irritation and leave skin feeling balanced.
These pads are formulated for acne-prone, oily and combination skin types seeking visible improvement in texture and tone. Salicylic acid penetrates pores to help clear and prevent blemishes, while the glycolic acid complex improves the appearance of fine lines, uneven tone and rough texture. Aloe, allantoin and chamomile are included to support skin comfort. With daily use as directed, this treatment provides a high-performance option in the Peter Thomas Roth acne treatment line.
- Who it’s best for: Acne- and breakout-prone skin; oily/combination types; those concerned with pores and uneven texture
- What makes it different: Maximum-strength 2% salicylic acid combined with a potent 10% glycolic acid complex in one easy-to-use pad
Due to manufacturer updates, packaging may vary from the image shown. Please note the product formulation remains the same.

How To Use Goodbye Acne™ Max Complexion Correction Pads
- Cleanse skin thoroughly before applying.
- Gently wipe the entire affected area with one pad up to twice daily. Use the smooth side first for cleansing, then the textured side for enhanced exfoliation.
- Because excessive drying may occur, start with one use daily, then gradually increase to twice daily. If dryness or peeling occur, reduce use to once a day or every other day.
Pro Tip (from estheticians): Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen each morning while using exfoliating pads like these, and consider applying a lightweight hydrating moisturizer afterward to support barrier resilience.
