ive used these pads on and off for about a year. While I don't hate them, they are ceryainly a little irritating and I don't like the soapy-ness of the formula.

These pads did not prevent acne or decrease the amount of acne I had, if anything it seems like it may have made me break out a tad more. Pros: the scent isn't bad. doesn't contain alcohol. easy...

The pads are alcohol free, and a large triangular shape. The pads are saturated and one pad will cover my face, chest and upper back. Does not irritate my skin at all. They work the same for me as...

First of all, I just want to note that the triangular jar says "Natural Control" really large, even though the name of the product here is listed as something slightly different. I really like...

I found these inexpensive pads at Walmart while hunting for a BHA (beta hydroxy acid) to assist in clearing out my pores. After using this product, I experienced even more clogged pores and a few...

These face pads with acne treatment are not good if you have sensitive skin. They left my skin feeling stickyish, red, and caused flaking the next day.

This really kinda sucks. It definitely leaves a sticky feeling/ and looking film - you could never wear it anywhere but to bed. Worse though is that it leaves the skin feeling really stripped. I...

I LOVE these. I bought these to use on my arms for my KP, I also use these on my nose/chin to keep blackheads at bay. I think they smell like a fruity tea, which is pleasant. I squeeze some of the...

Unlike the majority of reviews, I like this product, and I like it better than the red box 2% variety. My observation is that this 1% alcohol-free product is more effective at pore cleansing than...

Reading the ingredients, I thought this was going to be a good, inexpensive beta-hydroxy product (no alcohol, no menthol). Unfortunately, each time I used it I got a red rash on my cheeks. It also...
