- Salicylic & Glycolic Acid Acne Clearing Pads - 2% Salicylic & 10% Glycolic Acid - Exfoliating Pads for Acne, Bacne, Butt Acne, Body Acne - Daily Pads - 50ct

I very rarely write reviews for products but I feel compelled to write one about this. I am a 29 year old male with face that can grow a full beard. I hated shaving for ever because I would always cut myself on the acne. I have had acne since I hit puberty and it never went away. Everyone kept saying, "You'll just grow out of it." I am 29. I AM DONE. I was actually done a while ago and when I was 23 I did Acutane. If you know what that is and are considering it, try this item first. I wish I would have. I don't have any side effects that I know of from the Acutane, but it is a heavy gun. And at the time I was having acne in my arm pits, all over my back, etc and it was excruciatingly painful. Acutane cured up all of that (so still worth it for those issues), but I was still left with an odd redness on my chin and acne on face. I also am prone to ingrown hairs and occasionally get a pilonidal cyst. I went to the dermatologists, literally all of them in the UT area. For the redness on my chin I was put into "Grand Rounds" which is basically held at the University of Utah and a bunch of dermatologists all get together once a month and talk about their most difficult cases. Prior to Grand Rounds, they couldn't diagnosis the issue. They said it ultimately seemed like some feliculits issue that was caused by they didn't know what. They had a biopsy done, they scraped it and tried to grow bacteria colonies and fungal conlonies. NOTHING. Everything came up negative but I still was left with a red chin that I didn't have pre Acutane. For the rest of the acne they just told me to try the benozly creams, and I can't tell you how many other ones. I tried oral anti-biotics which I hated. Had been on them and only ever upset my stomach for a short period of relieve from acne--not worth it. Nothing was working. My husband did some quick googling, something I had given up on since, you know, I HAD BEEN TO GRAND ROUNDS and even they couldn't help me. Well, he convinced me to try these pads. I did. The first night I had shaved and washed my face, then applied the pad and I felt like my face was going to burn off for 30 minutes. It eased after 30 mins, but definitely be careful if you don't have a high pain tolerance. I noticed the next morning substantially less new acne than from like any night before. I also fell it is important to note that I am very clean. I wash bed sheets and towels regularly and do my absolute best to not touch my face. Continuing, I kept applying the pads and rather abruptly my face started to clear up. I was still washing my face morning and night. The only change was these pads. I can now say I am 29 and for the first time since puberty I have a clear face. These pads truly worked for me. It is crazy. I have a little redness, but that I can tell is going away. No more white heads! Just clear skin. I can shave and not look like I went to see an evil barber. I sleep better. My face doesn't hurt! I had forgotten what this feels like. If you are struggling with acne, try these pads. Use them daily. Best money you will spend on facial product ever. I am literally going to send this to my past Dermatologists with this review as I dumped well over $2,000 them figuring it out and they couldn't. I feel the reason this works so well is that it stays on your face over night. When you wash your face, that cleans it for the moment, but your face immediately starts producing oils and bacteria, etc. Over night that was enough time for new acne to develop. By this staying on my face overnight, it keeps the bacteria down and moisturizes my skin. It works! My husband had really oily skin, but even he said this has helped him by reducing his oil production. I am just so happy I tried this. Eric.

I am in my 40s and do hot yoga frequently. never leave reviews on skin care products unless they are absolute standouts in my routine. This is a great product and I love the results! Prior to use my skin was feeling dry, rough and I was prone to breakouts in my chin area. Three weeks into using twice a day, all of my breakouts are gone and my skin glows as if I’ve just had a professional facial. I will be purchasing again.

My 14 y/o son has developed some intense bacne across the back of his neck and shoulders recently and the neutrogena acne pads and creams we were using to help control it just weren’t cutting it. I bought these to try and after two weeks we’ve already noticed a significant difference in both the bacne and his face and hairline acne. Besides washing, we use one of these in the morning and one before bed and they really help! Highly recommend if you live tried other solutions and are still struggling with teen acne.

My dermatologists recommended tube of face wash with 2% salicylic acid + 2% glycolic acid was almost out and I didn't feel like paying such a ridiculous price for a refill so I thought I would find something else. After looking at many similar products, I decided to try this one. There were a lot of cheaper ones from no name brands but QRxLabs has a web presence and appears to have been around for a long time so that gave me confidence to try this one with 2% SA and 10% GA. I was a little afraid the way higher percentage of GA might be too much for my face so I started out slow and only used a pad before bed every few days. I would say I have average skin with average sensitivity and had no issues with the much higher strength of GA and moved to nightly use after a week. Each pad is very wet and has a lot of product on it. I'm almost through my first jar and the remaining few pads are still very moist. The pads do not dry out towards the bottom of the jar which is great since even some of my prescription pads dry out at the bottom. After wiping your face with a pad, it does leave your face with a thick wet and slightly sticky feeling. It took me a little while to get used to but I go right to bed afterwards so it isn't really much of a bother. After a few weeks of use, I happened to randomly feel my cheekbones and was surprised how much softer and smoother they felt which I'm assuming is from the use of the higher level of GA. I still get an occasional pimple but I also did with my dermatologists face wash so the same 2% SA seems to be working the same. I have no dryness of skin after using these for a while. Overall, I am happy with this product.

I was dealing with breakouts and post inflammatory marks on the backs of my shoulders due to clogged pores from hair products. I was already using salicylic acid body wash and scrub, and while that helped a little, I just don’t think those products were on my skin long enough to be super effective. Enter these pads. It’s only been about 2.5 weeks and I see a major improvement. My skin feels super smooth, looks more even toned, and no new breakouts are forming. The pads are super juicy so after swiping the backs of my shoulders with one side, I swipe the other side on my nose and the tip of my chin. Let me just say, nothing has ever improved the appearance of sebaceous filaments for me more than these. Note, they do leave a bit of a tacky film on the skin until the product fully dries down. So for that I would only recommend for night time use. I will be repurchasing.

I only used it 1 day, and I already see a difference. I was using salicylic acid wipes but it wasnt strong enough and needed something that offers more. I get these horribly hideous little bumps all over my forehead. I wash my face with just regular soap, and then used these wipes. It stung a tiny bit and I got worried but it went away as the solution dried up. I did not get any chemical burns which is what I was afraid off. The #1 thing I dislike is that it leaves a sticky feeling on your face, I really wanted to go wash my face again but I left it. Don't wash it off. I applied all my other regular stuff. ( Hence that's why I gave it 3 star. I absolutely hate that feeling but it's barrable since I want clear skin) after I put my lotion and cream on it kind of made the feeling go away a bit. I woke up this morning, ( oh yeah did I mention I did this at night ... Around 6 pm), and I notice alot of the bumps on my forehead are either gone or have shrunk. Now I don't even know what you call these bumbs. I'm assume it like sweat/ oil that gets trap in the skin but it's different from pimples that are easy to pop, or black heads and it's not cyst acne. I read in my ow research, glycolic acid help alot of people get rid of these bumbs and smooth out the skin. Excellent exfoliator. I'll come back and update this review in a few weeks. Also, the pads may stick together so make sure you're using one and not wasting another lol. WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER APPLYING, don't put it too close to your lips or eyes. And I think that's all I have to say for now.

These are amazing! I have been struggling with acne for most of my life and these pads have made so much more manageable. I am on week 2 and my skin looks so much better. I started seeing results on the third day. I’ve stuck with it since.

Ordered this for my teenage granddaughter who was having bad breakouts on her forehead, within a couple of days you could see a remarkable difference. New breakouts stopped and the old were healing. Highly recommend this for teenage acne.
