I've been enjoying these facial pads. They've been gentle and non-drying on my dry, mature skin. I've had no redness after use like I've gotten from other similar products. I also occasionally still get breakouts, so the salicylic acid is welcome.These help combat the ashy tones my skin has taken on since menopause. One pad is plenty to do my face, neck and décolleté. They're pretty pricey though, and there are plenty of similar products out there that do the same job for less money.Some of the ingredients by function include:➧Anti-acne: Salicylic Acid➧Antioxidant: Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Arctostaphylos Uva-Ursi Leaf Extract➧Exfoliant: Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Salicylic Acid➧Skin brightening: Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Arctostaphylos Uva-Ursi Leaf Extract➧Skin-identical ingredient: Glycerin➧Soothing: Salicylic Acid, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract➧Antimicrobial/antibacterial: Mandelic Acid➧Moisturizer/humectant: Butylene Glycol, Lactic Acid, Glycerin, Propanediol

This really is an expensive product. It does help exfoliate and keep the pores small and skin healthy. But I was not thrilled to see butylene glycol as the second ingredient, because I react to it over time. There are other ingredients that I tend to avoid if possible, but it's certainly not the soup of chemicals many products of this nature contain. It's probably best for non-sensitive skin and only several times a week. At that rate, perhaps you could say it makes the $60 price tag reasonable, but for me it's too pricey. I also would rather have a solution that doesn't get contaminated, like this does every time you reach into the jar to get out a pad. Still, it does leave skin feeling tighter and smoother.

This is a face brightening product with saturated pads. I’ve been using it as a toner. It feels pretty good on my skin, definitely pinks me up a bit.I was amazed to read “fragrance” on the ingredient list because this smells awful. Like sulfur. Every time I use this I find myself backing away from the pad and the container. I can’t imagine what the added fragrance is….because it’s not working. I just can’t continue using this.

Great stuff, and smells extraordinarily good. I love pads like this as a treatment to exfoliate and brighten the skin, but I will not necessarily use them every day. As the company says, these work well to do, and I believe young and old can benefit from these pads. I feel that I am better at using a rinse-off product for my regular daily needs. I think weekly; I can use these a couple of times. For now, I am doing more of the same as I have been for a few months. I am using a cream cleanser that isn't oily. It removes dirt and oils that will cause my skin to misbehave. I have irritation and need to pull back and be gentle. Everyone needs exfoliation, but it is a difficult choice to do that conventionally in my case. I use disposable clothes to help remove my makeup. For now, that is going to be the most I will do. I believe the washcloths with the cream at night do what I need long-term. On a semi-regular basis, I will use this.My skin looked lovely the other night after I used this product. I was using another from a different company and stopped that altogether. I lost courage because it was drying. This product does not seem to be drying.I look forward to using all these pads to see if I can get some results. I have often felt that my skin needs resurfacing, but I couldn't figure out where to start. Do I use masks, scrubs, or other products? So I am trying these. We will see if I continue to get these good results using these once or twice per week.This product is well worth the money; looking at the ingredients list and having checked out how this product looks, feels, and smells. Lovely.Enjoy!
