I have one word for this product: AMAZING! I love that I have found a 2% SA treatment without all the harsh alcohol! I came across this from MUA boards (SO glad I did!). I am definitely moderately...

These are pre-moistened circular pads. The pads are very wet and the solution seems to be embedded within every pad. One side is somewhat textured while the other side is smooth. There isn't a bad...

This product is the best bang for your buck. They are highly effective (at least for me) and dirt cheap. The carton they come in even has a one dollar off coupon making these a staple in my...

Paula (and others on the skincare board) say the pH of these is too high to make them effective, but I find them just as good as any other BHA product, including PC's, and of course much cheaper. ...

Ouch, ouch, ouch! I found Stridex pads back when I was in high school and tried them (I think I bought every single type they had!). No matter how I used them or in what step of my skin care...

Thank you Skin Care Board! Finally something that I see results with. I've been battling with hormonal acne for years and now have had my first month without painful zits. It's also helping with...

Ugh, these things really did a number on my skin. For reference, i have sensitive, eczema- and clog-prone skin. I have only been using these every-other night (luckily). The first one or two times...

Been using this for a few days. Not only has it done nothing to minimize my breakouts, it hasn't prevented them from coming either. Will not buy again.

Why haven't I bought this before? Perhaps it was the cheap price, the 'drugstore quality' packaging look, or the relative anonymity compared to other acne solutions. I've seen this time and time...

This is truly an HG product for me. I've used all three formulations of the salicylic acid wipes, and I find that the maximum strength works best for treating and preventing breakouts. I still...

These are a great find. They don't have a horrible smell and they don't sting at all when using them. I use these on my nose and around my jaw line, both problem areas for me. These pads are...

I like this pads as they refresh my face and clean my pores from within. I do not think it helped me heal my blemishes, but I like to think it helps me to prevent future break outs.
