Ohh these bring back memories of my skin struggles during my teens. I definitely relied on these to keep my acne under control, even when they had alcohol in them and burned like crazy. Definitely...

These are a great BHA product...I only wish there wasn't menthol in it so I could use on my sensitive face. Right now I use them on the keratosis pilaris on my arms and they have made my arms so...

This is for the "maximum strength" or 2% salicylic acid pads. I decided to buy these after reading all the MUA reviews that talked about its low pH and lack of alcohol. I don't know when they...
