“I have been using this product for months now - usually 3-5 times a week. I used to use a .5 retinol but I much prefer these! They are very effective but gentle enough that you don't have to worry about extreme redness or flaking skin, as you do with a lot of retinols. And one peel pad goes a long way - I always use it on my neck and chest too. Keeps my skin glowing!”
“These are incredible. I have sensitive combo skin. The first time I used one of these pads, my face turned bright red- I freaked out! It went away after 45 minutes, but it obviously concerned me (I looked like Samantha from SATC when she did that chemical peel and had to wear a veil lol.) Two days later, I thought about how my face didn't sting/hurt- it simply turned red. I thought, "Well, maybe it was supposed to do that?" I tried it again. Again, my face turned kind of patchy red, but not as bad as the first time. It went away more quickly also. By the 4th/5th time I used a pad, my face did not get red *at all*. I don't know the science behind this, but it's just like my skin got used to it? I persisted because my skin looked smooth and radiant from the first few uses, and it took a surprisingly short amount of time to significantly revamp my skin texture. As a close guy friend said to me after a month or two, "I don't know WHAT you are doing for your skin, but you look like a million bucks."
At this point, I use them every single night with no problems/reactions.
HOT TIP I borrowed from a previous reviewer: they cut the pads in half! You don't need the whole thing. I'll take that tip even further: I cut each one into quarters. That means this little pot of pads (which I turn into 200 mini pads) will last me the better part of a year!
My boyfriend lovingly teases me about my "new skin" I give myself each day and has started using them himself. I'll allow it I guess :)”
“I have used these a few times the last couple weeks and find them gentle and effective. I read other reviews and started every other day, this seems to work best. I tried back to back days and noticed some dryness. I feel my dark spots have faded and fine lines are softer with these pads. I recommend them.”
“Absolutely love these. Keeps my skin clear, smooth and healthy. Breakouts are almost non-existent with these pads. I always have a "just peeled" glow after use. Highly recommended.”
“I don't think I've ever written a product review in my life but this is so worthy!! I get WAY fewer breakouts when using this! It also helps take my redness down. I 1000% recommended!!”
