Pros:

- Alot of product for one pad.
- Helps clear & prevent breakouts
- Convenient. Plus they give you a coupon on Stridex products, making this even cheaper!

Cons:

- CAN be drying
- Does sting a bit
- I cannot use it TOO frequently (twice a day for a sustained period of time) because it drys my skin

I used this in conjunction with a knockoff (like Target brand) of Neutrogena oil-free acne wash. I wash my face then use one of these pads all over, especially to trouble areas. Use a GOOD moisturizer. Sometimes I use this only 4 or so times a week, to give my skin a break. Also worked GREAT for me on back blemishes.

Amazing for those with oily skin!
I have started using this product a week ago and have been noticing that now I do not wake up with a face full of oil, wanting to wash my face immediately. I also noticed that in the day, my face feels less greasy than usual. This pads also helped remove my pimple really quick. I had a small pimple at the side of my nose which formed a head and disappeared within 2-3 days! As for skin pigmentation, I wouldn't be too quick to judge as these takes much longer than a week to see changes. My regimen now is use a gentle face wash followed by the salicylic acid pad, benzoyl peroxide on affected areas and then moisturise my entire face. Yes, this can be a little drying but I feel the drying effect is not as bad as the benzoyl peroxide. I only use the pads once, at most twice a day.

Great product!!
I didn't try these stridex salicylic acid pads for years because I thought they were drugstore crap. But, boy was I wrong! Don't be fooled because they are cheap. They have 2% salicylic acid at the right ph for maximum exfoliation & the perfect amount of oil control, without drying out your skin, as they are alcohol free. So glad I found them, and you should try them too! You will not be dissappointed.

Pros:

Great clear feeling, much less redness, easy to use. I didn't experience any flaking or other discoloration from this product. Great price!

Cons:

Doesn't clear all acne, you should use other spot treatments after application.

"The best money can buy," is not always true. Stridex salicylic acid pads are very easy to use and you will get good results. I'm 14 and have mild acne, mostly on my chin and upper lip. Occasionally I would flare you with a big red zit around my nose. These help prevent those big zits, keeping your face clean and feeling refreshed. Also, my skin used to be very oily- so much that I would go on stage or under a bright light and would really notice a sheen on my face. These really clear the excess oil off my face.
