Loaded with salicylic acid
These pads are soaked with salicylic acid, so much so that you can squeeze some product out. I found that these were a little too moist and I didn't end up using everything when I was done with the pad and ready to throw it out. It's good for a deep clean and helps to have more contact time with the salicylic acid, which you don't get if you're using a SA cleanser. I think these would be good for on-the-go use too. I don't like the scent but it fades and I don't notice it throughout the day. Possibly because these are so saturated, it feels a little tacky on the skin, which is why I knocked off another star.
Fresh
Received free, makes your face feel fresh! I enjoyed receiving the sample that I did for this product.
I would use again and again and again! Thank you!
This product works well with my skin. I saw a large improvement in my acne and less outbreaks. The only thing that was overpowering was the smell! While rubbing it on your face it takes away your breath with the powerful scent of the solution. This pads did not dry out and lasted for the whole time I was 'cleansing' my face, I would recommend but I also used moisturizer.
My teenage years are about a decade behind me, but I do break out around my chin and under my jaw often. I'd heard one of the Chicks here recommend using a medicated acne pad on those problem spots, and this is the second brand I've tried. Although I had success with the first brand I tried, this one didn't work!
The first brand I tried was Shopper's store brand (I'll review that one when I get it again), but when that container was done I was in another store and the Oxy brand was cheaper. Even though I used these exactly the same as I had the previous brand, there was little to know improvement. They also have a perfume smell that the other brand did not have, and I wasn't a fan.
Having tried these in the past, they seemed to work at the time. However, over time they made my face feel tight, dry, itchy, and somewhat sticky. It could've been the alcohol content in them. Even when I'd use one every other day or two, just made my face feel icky. I don't even think it helped my acne. Seemed to make it worse; my face looked shiny too. I wouldn't use these again.
