Clear Skin

I have hormonal acne and used Proactiv for years. Then I became pregnant and breastfeed my baby for a year - so I could not use harsh products on my skin (like salicylic acid) b/c they were contraindicated for pregnancy & breastfeeding. I found the ARCONA line and my skin has never looked so clear and radiant! I use the White Tea cleanser with my Clairisonic brush; the Solution pads + Magic White Ice (night); and the Tabula Rasa pads (day). I also love Jouer Illuminating tinted moisturizer.

clear skin

I started using the Arcona travel kit for problem skin (which you can get online) and once I used all the travel sizes up I purchased full size. In the travel kit the Solution comes in a pump and while it was okay, I wanted to try the pads. I feel you get more bang for your buck with the pads for multi reasons, the pads are fully covered in the product so you can really cover your skin and you can cut them in half as well to make them last longer. I use mine every other night, making the product last at least 3 months, and thats without cutting it in half. Using the Raspberry Acne Bar, 'AM' Acne Lotion, The Solution, and Cranberry Gommage has cleared my skin like nothing else I have tired. You need to stick with it, these products aren't a quick fix, gives it at least a month to see results. Once you do, you will be glad you did.

Great Product!

I am really pleased with this product so far. I've been using it a few weeks every other night and it has helped clear up clogged pores on my chin that typically develop into full blown pimples. My skin is also really smooth. I have combination skin that isn't sensitive. I do think it could be harsh for those with really sensitive skin and the gentle solution might be a better choice. I would definitely recommend!

My must have product

I’ve been using the Solution Pads 2-3x a week for almost four years now and they are one of my absolute favorite products. I apply to clean skin at night before bed and wake up to clear, bright skin in the morning. I almost always get a glowing skin related compliment the day after use. This product has refined my pores and helped with normal pore buildup. If I feel a pimple coming on, these pads dry it up fast. In winter I tend to be dry where my upper lip meets the nostrils so I don’t apply there, but otherwise I apple all over my face and neck. I’m a big fan.

Arcona solution pads

I read that these were good for congested skin and I tried them for that reason. They stung just a bit but that went away quickly. I was hoping for deeper exfoliation to help bring small whiteheads to the surface. Unfortunately I didn’t notice much of a difference. The exfoliation was decent on a superficial level. I was just expecting more for the price.

Extra Strength Peel Pad!

I love this peel pad, it gives me a feeling of complete clean and cool and brightening effect! However, it is kind of full strength. If your skin is sensitive I would not recommend using this. It also gives a stinking feeling when apply, which I love because I feel that it's really doing something. The scent is great and and I just love product and the bright clan complexion it gives me. I highly recommend this product!

Life savers

When I turned 28 I suddenly broke out in some horrible adult acne that left some scars. I tried EVERYTHING but nothing worked! I was given a sample of these and loved them so I went back to get more. They helped get rid of my acne and now when I start to break out these help to stop it in its tracks. I love arcona products, and specifically these solution pads!

Disliked smell! Try in store before you buy!!

Did not care for the smell. In fact it was so off-putting to me I ended up returning the product before even being able to use it long enough to tell if it worked :( Such a shame because I enjoy other Arcona products- especially the raspberry clarifying pads (which smell amazing!). Other great skincare brands are Astara Skincare (although Nordy doesn't carry this unfortunately) and La Mer.

Solution pads

So far I have seen it smoothing out my skin and it looks super shiny after, it does, unfortunately, dry out my skin a little bit too much but I've just been trying to use a little extra moisturizer after I use the product.
