Most skincare routines have seven steps. Two of them are actually doing anything.

The rest is filler - serums layered over skin that was never properly cleansed, treatments applied on top of dead skin buildup that's blocking them from working. The industry benefits from you believing your routine needs to be complicated. It doesn't.

Clear, functioning skin comes down to two things done properly: removing what shouldn't be there, and renewing what's underneath. That's it. That's the whole routine.

The Reti Glow Duo is those two steps - nothing more, nothing less.

Step 1 — Remove Cleansing Oil Pads

Your SPF and makeup are oil-based. Your foam cleanser is water-based. Water doesn't dissolve oil - which means most people go to bed with a layer of residue sitting in their pores every single night, wondering why their skin stays congested no matter what they try.

The Remove pads use a blend of five lightweight, non-comedogenic oils to dissolve what a water cleanser can't. Pre-soaked, no mess, no emulsifying with wet hands. Swipe, watch it lift, follow with water to rinse. Your skin is actually clean before anything else touches it.

50 pads included.

Step 2 — Renew Chemical Peel Pads

Once your skin is properly clean, the peel pads go to work on what's underneath - the layer of dead skin cells that builds up on the surface, flattening your texture, dulling your tone, and blocking your pores from the inside.

Glycolic and lactic acid dissolve the bonds holding that buildup together. It clears. Your skin renews. The brightness you get the next morning isn't a product effect - it's what your skin looks like when it's actually functioning.

Used 2–3 nights per week, not every night. These are actives, and they work precisely because they're given time to do their job.

30 pads included.

Why these two, together

These aren't two random products bundled for a discount. They work in sequence because they address the two most common reasons skin stops behaving properly - and they address them in the right order.

You can't exfoliate effectively over skin that hasn't been properly cleansed. Dead skin cells don't respond well to actives sitting under a layer of SPF residue. Step 1 makes Step 2 work. Step 2 makes every moisturiser, serum, or treatment you add afterwards work better too.

Fix the foundation. Everything else becomes optional.

How to use

Every evening: Swipe a Remove Cleansing Oil Pad across dry skin - eye area included. Follow with a water-based rinse or second cleanse to clear oil residue. Pat dry.

2–3 evenings per week, after cleansing: Swipe a Renew Peel Pad across clean, dry skin. Don't rinse. Follow with moisturiser or facial oil. On the other nights, just cleanse and moisturise — your skin needs recovery time.

Every morning without exception: SPF. The acids in the peel pads increase photosensitivity. This isn't optional.

New to acids? Start the peel pads once a week for the first two weeks. Your skin will tell you when it's ready for more.

Good for

Anyone starting from scratch and not sure what they actually need - congested or breakout-prone skin - dull, rough, or uneven texture - people with 45 minutes and a 12-step routine who want their evenings back - anyone who wants to actually understand what their products are doing and why.

What's in each pad

Remove Cleansing Oil Pads: helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil, carthamus tinctorius (safflower) seed oil, ricinus communis (castor) seed oil, prunus armeniaca (apricot) seed oil, tocopherol (vitamin E), sorbitol, pelargonium graveolens (rose geranium) oil

No fragrance. No hormone disruptors. Every ingredient in both formulas is there for a reason — you can read exactly what that reason is on each individual product page.

Frequently asked questions

Is this enough for a full routine? For most people, yes — at least to start. Proper cleansing and consistent exfoliation will visibly change your skin on their own. Add a moisturiser and SPF and you have everything your skin functionally needs. Serums are a useful next step once you've seen what your skin does with a clean foundation — but they're not required to get results from this.

How quickly will I see results? The Remove pads make a difference immediately — your skin will feel different after the first use. Most customers notice clearer texture and less congestion from the peel pads within two to three weeks of consistent use. The morning-after glow after a peel pad session is usually visible from the first use.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin? The Remove pads — yes, fully. The Renew pads — yes, but introduce them slowly. Start once a week, watch how your skin responds, and build from there. If you're currently dealing with a compromised or very reactive skin barrier, hold off on the peel pads until it's more stable.

What do I add after this? A moisturiser or facial oil after the peel pads, every time. SPF every morning. Beyond that — a serum targeting your specific concern is the natural next step, and something we're working on. But resist the urge to add six things at once. Let your skin settle into this first.

Two products. Two steps. The routine your skin has actually been waiting for.
