Brand note
First Aid Beauty is a brand that leans hard into sensitive-skin-friendly formulas, with a focus on gentle exfoliation and hydration. The Facial Radiance Pads are the standout product here — creators consistently say they're effective yet non-irritating, even for daily use, thanks to a blend of glycolic and lactic acids that's less intense than BHA. The brand's overall vibe is practical and no-fuss, though the eye cream's brightening effect is more subtle than coverage-heavy, so don't expect it to tackle deep dark circles.
