House of Hour's Brightening Skin Prep Essence Pads are an innovative skincare product designed to brighten and improve skin texture. ¹ These pads serve as an essential prep step in your skincare routine, combining cleansing, hydration, and brightening in one step.

Key Ingredients and BenefitsThe effectiveness of these pads is based on a combination of active ingredients that work to even out skin tone and restore vitality:
