L'Oreal Revitalift Laser Renew Anti-Ageing Glycolic Pads Review

I was pleasantly surprised by the % of glycolic acid in the pads - just under 10%. The salon brand peel I use monthly is 15%, so for a daily product and an introduction to glycolic acid, these are perfect.

The pads are pre-soaked in the solution, and have stayed moist throughout the trial.

One side of the pad is more textured, for a more exfoliating use. I use this side, but I did try the softer side, and it's lovely and I think would be great for people who don't want an abrasive treatment.

I felt a slight tingling which wasn't at all uncomfy - it was just the glycolic doing it's thang.

My skin felt smooth after use, the product absorbed very quickly.

Gosh these make my skin look fantastic. Baby soft, more even texture and luminous.

Will be repurchasing, and recommending to all!

On initial opening of this I wasn't sure that it would be work. The pads are meant to be pre-soaked in a glycolic complex, yet they felt very dry to the touch, so I was doubtful there was enough product to do anything. I was wrong.

Each pad is double sided with one side rougher than the other. As my skin isn't sensitive and needs all the help it can get to deal with pigmentation, acne scarring and pock marks, I went for the more exfoliating side.

I applied this in circular motions around my face and was amazed that despite a thorough cleansing it still picked up makeup and dirt. I didn't notice any stinging or discomfort, and I did wonder if it was doing anything.

One month on and I can see it did a lot. My pigmentation has reduced to the point you really have to look to see it. My pock marks are less so. My acne scarring has visibly improved.

I am sold and will repurchase these - although will probably cut them in half to make them go a little further.

I've never used anything quite like these before. I was expecting them to be a cleansing wipe type-of-product, but you actually use these after cleansing, and before your serum.

The pads are the perfect size to comfortable hold and use, and they are generously pre-soaked. These did not dry out which is fabulous.

I used the rougher side of the pad on the first instance, and use the other side just to 'finish up'. I used small circular motions and one pad was enough to feel like my whole face was treated.

I felt a bit of a tingle every time I used them, but it definitely wasn't a reaction, it was the ingredients doing their thing. Every now and then I get a nano-second of a sting, I think the product might be getting into an open pore or a wee nick in the skin. But the sting doesn't last.

The results of these are incredible. My oily skin feels soft and supple, and looks great. Oil is kept at bay for the whole day (and I've been using these once a day, at night).

I'm honestly wowed by these pads and recommend them to all! Cannot fault them!

Love this product. EASY to use. Easy to dispose of. Keeping the skin care routine simple. I found them fairly reactive on my skin. Lots of tingles which means its working YAY. skin felt much fresher. Follow use with the serum and a moisturiser. I would only do this twice a week before bed time as you need to avoid sunlight due to the active nature of the ingrediants in these pads.

Very wet consistency I used them on my face and neck and did something else whilst allowing the remaining moisture to be absorbed into the skin.

A good product for coming into winter as its a bit more of an abraisive exfoliator. Really like this product.

These wonderful glycolic pads came either in the vault or a BBBE. Either way, I love L'Oreal and will happily seek out their products.

These come in a screw top jar, presumably to stop them from drying out. They are covered by a foil seal which is helpful.

The pads are thin and white, and smell kind of fruity and chemically.

I've been using them every night after work to remove the debris from my make up and clean away dead skin cells. My skin feels fresh and clean after use. After a few days I felt like my skin looked much better - a bit less dull and more bright. In that respect it certainly did what it said it would do.

I recommend the product to others to try. They are a bit pricey, but I do feel like they're worth it.

Comes in screw top red plastic jar with familiar red Revitalift labelling. 30 pads that are presoaked with solution and as long as you screw lid shut they don’t dry out. I love these and will repurchase again but only if on special as I think the price point is a little pricey for 30 pads. I use every second day as I think the strength of the glycolic at 9.6% is probably a little strong for daily use on my skin. I really think over the few weeks I’ve been using my skin looks brighter overall. I use the rougher exfoliating side first then smooth with the other side and follow with a good moisturiser.

i bought these on special from Countdown knowing nothing about them. Coincidentally at around the same time, a makeup artist that I know posted about them on socials saying they used them a couple of times a week before bed. So, I tried them. This product exfoliates my face without stinging, but you can feel it do the job. My skin is noticeably smoother and brighter which is what I want at my age! The next morning, my skin is nice and smooth and ready to go.

Having read quite a lot about the benefits of glycolic acid treatment for skin, I was delighted to have the opportunity to try these pads - a low concentration of the acid that I could use daily without worries. I had a little concern that the rough side of the pad might be a little too harsh for my aged skin but, happily, there were no problems - so I use the rough side first and finsh with the gentle side. It is noticeable that however carefully I pre-cleanse my face the pads remove just that bit more of any make-up or grime. At an age when women are visrtually "invisible" I have received two separate and unsolicited comments re the current brightness of my complexion!

I received this product as part of a Beauty Review trial. I love the convenience of these gycolic soaked pads. They come in a plastic dark red tub with a gun metal lid, classy packaging which I have come to expect from L'Oreal. I've used glycolic acid in my regular skin regime for quite a while before I received this, however it's so handy having the double sided pads pre-soaked. This allows you to choose the level of exfoliation. I didn't really notice any change in my skin, however I put this down to the fact that I have been using glycolic acid in my normal regime for quite a while. I would definitely recommend using these if you've never used glycolic before. A great addition to any skin care regime.

These are great little pads that have a different exfoliation level on each side that is a great little skin buffer! I tended to use the coarser surface more and gave my skin a good gentle exfoliation, rubbing in small circular motions after cleansing my skin thoroughly. I found my skin tingled a little during use and any small breaks in my skin (due to breakouts) did feel a little stingy although this didn't bother me as I knew the glycolic acid would help with the healing of my pimples. I found my skin felt smooth after use and not greasy at all. I didn't feel the need to use a toner as I normally would when using these pads as they took off any remaining make up traces. My skin definitely felt great after using these pads but I feel I could use a slightly stronger acid content as I have used glycolic cream in the past that has been a lot stronger. I do think these are quite expensive to use but you could probably get away with cutting each pad in half if you were being frugal and probably get a similar result. I stored my jar upside down so that IF there was any excess liquid, it would be on the top pads at time of use but the formula seems to be well dispensed between the pads.
