Very nice!
By Danielle's Doozy
I picked this up for everyday use. I have dry skin (even in summer) and tend to avoid a lot of products that dry my skin even more due to their chemical formulations.

Packaging & Price:
It is not packaged in excessive materials. The jar is recyclable. It has a screw-top lid that has kept the product from drying out so far. Price is extremely good considering you get 60 pads per jar! Using one or even two pads per day still makes the cost acceptable for the amount you get. However, I do wonder sometimes about the quality of the ingredients for such a cheap price.

Product:
These are thin round pads. It is the only disappointment of my purchase. It will take you a hot minute to familiarize yourself on how to separate the pads. However, all the pads were soaked very well and had a very soft texture. I could easily do my whole face with one pad but I like to get my neck and decollete as well so I use two pads daily. The smell is unusual (brighter noses can detect the lactic acid) but it is not offensive. It has not dried out my skin nor broke it out. I have noticed my skin is softer (I've been using it for a little over two months now) and looks quite refreshed. Keep in mind I also use a separate moisturizer and a serum. Although, I can say that this has effectively replaced an expensive sugar scrub I was using with better results and less mess! I also noticed that I do not have to use as much moisturizer as before.

Overall, I really like this product. The ingredient list is great. The price is nice. The results were as expected (nothing drastic but nice improvement in texture). It does gently exfoliate. The pads could be thicker. The smell could be less noticeable. I will continue to buy.

Thanks /r/SkincareAddiction!
By Laura
Found out about chemical exfoliation via Reddit, specifically the sub SkinCareAddiction, and gosh am I happy I did! A thousand times better than physical exfoliators (scrubs), these pads brighten my skin and take care of dead skin in a gentle and mess free way. They are gentle enough for every day use, and Amazon has a great price, compared to the only Walgreens in my district that sells them. These might be the first and only item I sign up for automatic deliveries of!

First time users may experience a slight purging the first few weeks, but this is completely normal, due to the actives (AHA).

The only thing I am not too crazy about is the scent. It's not bad, it's sort of fruity, and some people seem to like it. I prefer scent-free products, which is why I took a star off. However, they rock, and I highly recommend them to everyone!

KEEP IN MIND- AHA's may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun, so it is best if you use these in the evening. If you do use in the morning, remember to wear sunscreen- Well, sunscreen is always good, and you should wear it every day, but I digress.

Long story short: These ROCK!

Fantastic!
By N. Graham
Love this as a non-physical exfoliation. Between these pads and my Clarisonic, I will never use a gritty-textured exfoliation substance again. :)
