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.
Tips: Be sure to wear sunscreen while using this regime. Why ruin all the good work?
