My miracle product!

My skin before: Early twenties experiencing acne for the first time. What was minor whiteheads/blackheads turned into deep cystic acne on my cheeks, chin and forehead. Tried multiple designer and store brands and nothing worked. My skin after: Clearing up immensely. Took a good 3 weeks to notice a change, but after...HOLY COW. Skin glowing. Cystic acne non existent. When I do get the occasional zit, it goes away MUCH quicker. My skin gets less oily throughout the day. Scars and bumps are disappearing. Slower than I hoped, but progress is PROGRESS. Tried this on a whim after a Nordstrom gal recommended the Dr Dennis Gross Line. Hesitant to drop money on the entire system, I landed with just these eliminating pads. Still haven't purchased the entire line because I am so satisfied with these pads. I use Philosophy Purity face wash with my Clarisonic. The slight tingly feeling from the pads is something I, personally, look forward to.

did NOTHING, not like universal peels

Used for about a month and a half. Did nothing, universal peels waaaay better than this. All this did was leave me with a sting for a little bit but made no noticeable difference or eliminate acne or dark spots.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Definitely works! I notice a slight glow the next morning. These do sting a little bit, but I have never minded a little tingle. One pad is HUGE! I cut it in half, and it's perfect! Makes the product last longer, and it's the right amount (using half the pad). My breakouts have really calmed down since this product. I'm happy!

Great for Teens

I bought this for my teenage daughter. We purchased it after seeing it in a magazine. It has been wonderful and it has kept us from spending money at the dermatologist. I recommend cutting each pad in half to get more out if it. The pads are large and 1/2 is enough. She uses it at night. A lot of reviews say this product smells bad. I found this not to be true.

Good acne control with some tightness.

This was a new product for me, but having tried other products in this line, I was confident. My complexion seems to be clearer after a week, but the first couple of applications left my skin feeling tight and dry. I am compensating for this with a little extra moisturizer. Still, I'm pleased with the product and plan to continue its use.

these work great!

great addition to my skincare routine. typically, I cut them in half and they last forever. I have normal skin with occasional breakouts on my chin and these work great without ever drying me out!

The best skincare product ever!

I've tried a lot of skincare products and this is by far the most effective one I've ever used. These little pads keep my breakouts under control - and help prevent new ones! 10/10

Skin treatment

Kind of painful application. Stings a bit. Going to use only a few times a week since I have sensitive skin as well.

works when nothing else does

My 11 year old daughter is extremely impacted by acne, both whiteheads and deep large blackheads all over her tzone and chin. We tried Clinique, neutrogena, no results. I finally picked these up as a Hail Mary before booking a dermatologist appointment. Within 3 days (morning and night use) her acne was visibly clearing. Within two weeks her cheeks and chin are completely clearing, and her forehead has only a few small blackheads remaining. I am still in shock, and she has her confidence back which is so important for a 6th grader!

Actually works!!!!

This is my new miracle product that I cannot NOT have in my skincare line up now. I am in my late 20s with combination skin and never really had a problem with breakouts until the last year or two thanks to crazy monthly hormones!! I have used these pads at night for two months after I wash my face and before I put on my serum/moisturizer and they have truly kept my skin in check. The real test was seeing if I would have a crazy breakout during that time of month and I haven’t these last two months! This stuff works!!!
