Acne Pads with 1% Salicylic + 1% Mandelic, 100 Count | DuoClear dual-textured exfoliating pads for face, back & body. Fragrance-free, low-alcohol. Step 2

***update- my face is still clear from painful, cystic acne. I will occasionally still get minor breakouts (that time of the month), but nothing even remotely close to what it was earlier this year. The exfoliating pads are awesome. But again, but sure to moisturize after usage to prevent dry or flakey skin. Also, the fact that they offer a free product is just a bonus, my 5-star review is based solely on how well it has worked for me*** I've been suffering from very painful cystic acne since the beginning of the year. I came off my birth control late last year and I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid condition, so ever since then I have had very painful and terrible breakouts of cystic acne on my chin/jawline. I have tried just about every remedy you can think of and nothing was even making a dent. My face would get so inflammed and hurt so badly I would have to take some Tylenol to relieve the pain. I had one cyst get so large it made my lip swell up like I got punched in the face (just to give you an idea of where I am coming from). I started using these pads almost a week ago and have seen dramatic improvement in my face! I am NOT joking at all. I've had no new painful cysts in almost a week, which is a first in over three months. The cysts I did have on my face have shrunken almost completely and dries up. The redness is going away and my chin actually looks normal again. I will say, these suckers burn like the dickens when you apply them, but it's worth it. Be sure to moisturize your face once the medication from the patch dries. Moisturize a lot!! Trust me. So, for anyone who has stubborn acne (cystic or otherwise) give these a try. My 5-star review comes from the fact it has worked for me after months of feeling self-conscious, defeated, and embarrassed over my post-baby hormonal acne.

I’ve been using these pads for a few weeks and they’ve made a noticeable difference in my skin. The dual acids (2% Salicylic + 2% Mandelic) help with both clogged pores and surface texture. The pads are nicely textured—gentle enough not to irritate, but still give a good exfoliating feel. They’re especially helpful for oily or acne-prone skin. I saw fewer breakouts and less redness after regular use. One pad is enough for the whole face. There’s a slight medicinal scent, but nothing overpowering. The only downside is that they can be a bit drying if used too often, so I stick to once a day or every other day. Also, those with very sensitive skin might want to do a patch test first. Bottom line: Great for managing acne and keeping pores clear. Just be mindful of dryness.

Got this for my daughter who is struggling with hormonal acne. We have used tons of creams, other wipes, shower soaps- you name it! Everything else breaks her out worse and she don’t have any periods of acne relief. We decided to give this a try since the reviews were pretty good and I wanted something simple for her to use to clean her face. She uses it in the morning and before bed- it’s been about 3 weeks now and I see a big difference. She did go through a period in the first week it started to get really bad but this was also during her time of the month and normally starting new things does make it worse for a short time and get better. Now it’s been 3 weeks and there is such a huge difference in her skin!!! Seems to help prevent and clears up the acne she has. She does still get random pimples but it’s nothing like before!! I’m hoping this continues to help her skin and work as great as it currently does! I’d definitely recommend to anyone searching for help with acne. I will add this does dry out your face in the beginning so if you have issues with dryness drop to once a day and play with how often how it benefits you. My daughter has sensitive skin and so far twice a day has been great for her!!

My daughter loves this item. It has truly helped with her acne and does not dry her face out.

I always have at least one blemish, on a bad week up to 3, so it's not relatively bad acne, but I depend on astringent pads to control my oily skin and prevent more breakouts. At first, this didn't seem as strong as what I've been using, Clean & Clear Rapid Rescue Deep Treatment Pads, as that seems to zap bumps and shrink them within hours. But once I started using this, my skin cleared perfectly. When I ran out, I got 2 new zits within 3-4 days. I bought it again, and my skin cleared up again within 2-3 days. So yes, this works perfectly for me. It is gentle and not over drying but does effectively control oil through the day better than other products I've used. I use 1-2 in the morning and 1-2 in the evening. Bit expensive. Almost gave it 4 stars bc of price, but the quality deserves 5.

I originally bought this for my back acne and if it’s used every day then it works really great to get rid of pimples and keep them away but after not using it for a few days they came back and angrier. I do really like this product and it is definitely super helpful as a short term fix. The only downside was that I have to use it everyday to make sure the pimples stay away

I deal with a lot of stress acne on my cheeks and forehead (some cystic acne, a TON of blackheads, and whiteheads). I use this is conjunction with Keeva Tea Tree Oil Acne Cream and it does wonders for my skin. Because I used both in conjunction, I wondered if one was having more of an impact on my skin than the other. So while the Neutralyze product was sold out, I purchased the Oxy cleansing pads. While using those, I began to break out again. Although the Oxy pads kept away the cystic acne, I kept getting regular pimples on my cheeks and forehead. When the Neutralyze came back in stock, I repurchased and my zits began to shrink over night. I give it 5 stars because it really does keep all types of acne away on my face. But, there are a few things to keep in mind: 1. This product is pricey. There are cheaper options that are less than half the price. I continue to use these because I know they will work for my skin. 2. I kept them in my gym back and they leaked, so I ended up losing a lot of product and ended up with dry pads. If you are like me and just want to throw them in a bag, I suggest finding a better container for them that remains closed so that they don’t dry out. 3. I have sensitive skin, and if I use more then one of these at a time my face will BURN. It’s temporary. It’s bearable. But if you don’t have much tolerance for that then you might hate these. This product works by itself. It also works well with the Keeva acne cream I mentioned above. Using those products together does not seem to dry my skin out, and honestly has improved my complexion significantly. These pads do a great job of cleaning my face. I included a picture of a clean one vs one I used right after my shower. I’ll post pictures later of how much it cleared my zits after some use.

No tan efectivos para acné moderada a severa, para acné leve o limpieza semanal si pueden servir

The product is great

I love this cleansing pads, made my skin look fresh and clean. No breaks outs and no harsh peeling. I’m hoping this would help the hyperpigmentation on my cheeks. Using it every other night. No strange scent.

Bought last year for $23. Product doesn’t seem to be worth the price especially since companies like The Ordinary sell amazing exfoliating acids for $5-10.
