Works well so far
I bought these to help with my recent breakouts around my chin area. I read reviews before buying and I do agree that you should be careful with the abrasive side. It does feel quite rough but if you do not apply a lot of pressure it works really good! I break out around my chin area and I use the rough side first. It feels better already after 1 use. The smell isn’t bad either. I read a lot of reviews about it smelling good like grapefruit which it does but it does have a medicated smell to it as well. It does not bother me though. I’m hoping to see a difference in my skin after a few weeks of using this product. I do like the larger pads.Also, my face gets pretty oily and this got rid of that after using the pad. I recommend a good moisturizer after about 15 minutes or so otherwise your face might dry out. I will update as I use more. As for now, this is something I will definitely purchase again. Thank you!

Terrible textured side, okay enough smooth side
I buy these because you get the same 2% SA as the red tubs, but the red tubs are about $5 for 55 pads while these are about $5 for 90 pads that are larger in diameter.The rough side SUCKS. I strongly recommend against intentionally using the scrubby side as it is painful and WILL leave scratches all over you if you use it like you might any normal exfoliating device (dry brushes, files, scrubby mitts, etc.); the only place I imagine it not hurting is maybe your heels if you let them callus up. If you use it very gently it might be alright but it never felt genuinely good to me. Please remember that the main benefit of acid exfoliants is their ability to evenly and relatively gently exfoliate instead of mechanically damaging and hurting your skin. There’s a reason why so many people recommend against using those old apricot seed scrubs and whatnot. There is at least some merit to things like dry brushing by contrast, but even dry brushing is fairly gentle compared to this.The smooth side is pretty normal. The main issue is that the pad is prone to curling and sticking to itself, the grippy side will bite into itself and make the pad difficult to use (and it might even unravel sometimes if you try pulling it apart) For my purposes, that’s just a little annoying but I can work with it if it means I get nearly double the pads for the same price.It is quite drying, but exfoliants like this often are. I like to use it as an exfoliant all over my body (never my face, 2% SA is too strong for my face but it might be fine for others). Usually I do it a bit before a shower, and at the end of applying the pad to wherever I want, I use the remaining “juice” on my armpits. This kills off bacteria that makes you stink (not permanently) and exfoliates nicely at the same time. I like to take a shower within a reasonable amount of time to wash away whatever it works on, as well as the SA itself so it isn’t sitting on my skin forever.

Game Changer – but be careful!
I’ve been using Stridex pads for years, and these are a game changer!They don’t burn.They are MUCH larger.The scratchy side is wonderful for my arms and back, but BE CAREFUL using it on your face. The first time I used them I used the scratchy side on my face and loved how much it exfoliated. The pads really scratched up my neck though. Like actual scratches. It looked like I got into it with a cat.As long as you take this precaution, these are the best!I even used them on the tops of my forearms where I had a few scar spots and they scrubbed those almost completely off the first time I used them.They make my skin feel smooth and soft and medicate at the same time.Love these. New go-to face AND NOW body wipe.

Ottimo prodotto. Consigliatissimo

I like the bigger pad size. Yet, one pad is not enough to cover the whole areas of the body.
