20% Glycolic Acid Pads (50 Pads) - Exfoliating Pads for Face Chemical Peel for Face at Home - Glycolic Acid Peel Exfoliating Face Pads - Acne Pads Facial Peel Face Exfoliating Pads with Vitamin C

This is my second time buying these pads! They have a bit of a smell of something similar to rubbing alcohol, which is expected. The pads are very durable and thick, with a nice texture for a gentle abrasion. You simple rub the pad all over your face, wait the allotted time, then rinse with water. I use the pads a few minutes before I shower, so I can just rinse my face in the shower like normal. These pads make my skin tighten up within a few minutes after I use them, and I get a very light peeling of the top layer of my skin about a day later. My skin is soooo smooth and even-textured ever since I started using these. Recommend!

I really like the glycolic acid pads. The main reason is that I can grab them with my bare fingers. I don’t like the pads that are so strong that the skin on my hands turn white. At first I wondered if these would be strong enough and they are. I particularly like glycolic acid for removing skin tags. I had some small ones on my neck and I was able to see them dry up in a couple of days. Be careful to make sure to avoid your eyes and any sensitive area’s. Also wash your hands after handling.

Have used this for years. It really does make a difference on the skin. It took a few months when I started using it before I started seeing the red spots to fade but it has really tightened my skin and lightened spots. Use it daily. Great value for the money.

These work well, have to use consistently to see results. make sure to follow the directions because it can burn your skin if you leave it on too long

I am used to getting peels, but always at my dermatologist’s office, and it has gotten to a point where these in-office treatments are cost prohibitive, for only about six months worth of results. I started with another product that had only 10 percent glycolic acid, and I was able to use that every night. So I decided I was ready for something stronger. I had to be very careful about using this product. I used it only once a week for a month. It gave me a deeper stinging sensation than the previous 10 percent product. Now I’m up to using it every fifth day, so if I use it on Monday, my next application is Friday, and so on. I always make sure to use the timer on my phone so I don’t go beyond the two minute usage limit. After I rinse it off (as per instructions), I dry my face and put on my serums. Most times, my partly oily skin is just fine with the serums, but if my face feels dry after all this, I top with moisturizer. I got this product for my hyperpigmentation brought about by aging and hormonal imbalances after menopause. I can’t say that this product alone helped lighten my dark spots and patches because I use other actives strategically planned over the course of a week. However, I can say that this product delivers the exfoliation it promises without making my skin dry and flaky. I found it beneficial to start slow and follow the instructions on the package. I am appreciative of the reasonable price, when everything else like it costs twice more. I will buy again.

If you have oily or combination skin this works well as an exfoliator. I use it daily with no redness or peeling. It does sting/burn a little. I find that using a small handheld fan will help with the stinging. You absolutely must use a moisturizer after this product. If you don't you will get dry, peeling, red skin. I prefer to use this at night followed by a heavy night cream. Don't use this immediately after waxing or tweezing hair. It will burn a lot if you do. This product can make you more likely to burn so wear a high SPF when using it.

Leaving a 1-star review in hopes that the Nuva Botanicals reads the "bottom of the barrel" looking for ways to improve their product. I've used this product before and it is a decent product. But my last order about a year ago had the entire jar dried out. I let time pass and now I thought I'd give it another try. Packaging was beautiful. Expiration date... 2028. Cellophane wrapped with a total seal. I took off the cellophane wrapper and it seemed a bit moist so I unscrewed the cap. Yep. The inner seal wasn't tight around the top. On one part of the edge it looked like something had skid over the top leaving it a bit wrinkled and a small gap between the sealing material and the jar edge. It looks like a defect with some of the machinery when the product is being sealed and packaged. I'm thinking that someone needs to inspect the factory where the product is packaged because I've read a lot of feedback stating that the product was either dried out or soaked when the liquid leaked out and I wonder if it's a problem at the packaging plant. Everything was great until I got inside the package.

I didn't like it. Made my skin too dry and felt sticky. I gave to my sister n law for scars and has helped alot for her.
