Not only do L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Bright Reveal Peel Pads, $19.99, brighten pigmentation with 10-percent glycolic acid, they also help minimize fine lines over time. They leave skin feeling refreshed -- never dry.

The Avon Anew Clinical Strength Retexturizing Peel, $25, has been around for years but just got a major upgrade: In addition to 10-percent glycolic acid, the new version also has acne-fighting salicylic acid and hydrating hyaluronic acid. However, this peel pad is still gentle enough to use a few times a week, and it contains botanical ingredients to clean the skin while the acid works to even out texture. If you're trying to get rid of acne scars or pigmentation, give it a go.

Pixi Glow Peel Pads, $22, contain 20-percent glycolic acid to fight acne, brighten skin and minimize wrinkles. They're also loaded with skin-soothing vitamin E and rose water -- so they smell as fantastic as they make your skin feel.

Nip and Fab Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme, $14.95, contain salicylic acid -- a known acne-fighter -- in addition to skin-brightening glycolic. If you have oily skin, use one of these peel pads at night, and you won't believe how matte your face looks in the morning.

While a superadvanced combination of ferulic acid and retinol is reason enough to try the Dr. Dennis Gross Ferulic and Retinol Recovery Peel, $88, the fact that it comes in single-dose packets is a close second. If you travel a lot, you know how annoying it can be to pack a scrub or exfoliating treatment, and this peel pad makes it incredibly easy to have great skin while on the road.
