Replenix Gly-Sal Clarifying Acne Pads, 60 Count, Medical-Grade 10% Glycolic Acid & 2% Salicylic Acid Exfoliating Pads for Acne-Prone Skin, Help Clear Blemishes & Refine Pores, Non-Oily

Great quality product, but much more affordable. Different packaging merely means lower cost. This product sells for 3x the price in Europe, where it is used by aestheticians. 10/2 pads are great for maintenance for 30+ year olds out there like me, preventing build up of dry skin cells, which may lead to break outs, fine lines & wrinkles, and general dryness. I was reluctant to use peels in fears of eventually thinning out my skin, however, after introducing this product to my skin for a week, i use it in the morning instead of washing my face (so natural skin oils still remain), and at bedtime to freshly cleaned (not with harsh scrubs and cleansers... you do not NEED them anymore!!) skin, and then put on a generic light moisturizer. After 2 decades of dealing with autoimmune skin changes and severe acne that lead to lesions and swelling, I went on a VERY LIGHT DOSE of Accutaine for 4 months (as opposed to recommended 6-8mo) and used 10/2 pads as a topical product.. and have been continuing with the pads for over a year now, and I have a youthful, glowing skin, virtually no blackheads, and my scarring is slowly going away. I recommend this product to EVERYONE, even those without acne, especially if you don't have the time to spend 30 minutes in the morning to simply fun cover up and foundation on your face, which makes you look even worse throughout the day (I've been using Dermablend since 2000) - you will no longer be ashamed of your skin. Although existing naturally, this IS a chemical, so i recommend touching base with your dermatologist, or, testing the product out 1x/day for 3 days on your neck area, inside wrist, etc to make sure you are not allergic to any components. Like with most treatments, you may also try to introduce the product to your skin over 1-2 weeks at a less-frequent use (or start with the 5/2 concentration). Finally, give it about 2-3 months of HABITUAL use (1 package = 60 pads = 30 days of morning and night use = perfect) to fully appreciate the benefits. Enjoy your beauty! :)

I like this product done me real will. No burning or itching and could see the difference in my skin

I am in my mid sixties. I had acne starting at age 8, and super oily skin from then on, including now, when that stuff is supposed to dry up! When I was in my teens, my mom told me that I had bad skin and there was nothing I could ever do about it. So I didn't. I didn't use sunscreen, moisturizer or anything else until I hit 60 and a friend convinced me to try some things. I was hooked, and set off on finding what it took to repair all the damage my sins of ommission had created. Money was no object. In spite of everything else I have tried - high end and low end - this humble little product has been the miracle worker I was seeking. It only took about a week of application twice a day to dry up my oily face and neck, clear off the top layers of dull dry skin, and, as a result, provide me with clean, tiny pores. I LOVE THIS STUFF! If you use it too often it may sting a bit when you first put it on. The pads are also very thin and sometimes hard to keep from curling up as you apply it. But by far this is the best solution, the best deal, out there.

In the beginning it completely cleared up my skin. It's been a good 3-4 weeks now and my old breakouts are coming back. Not sure if my skin became resistant to it or if I need to increase the glycolic acid percentage. I've also noticed that I'm breaking out during that time of the month (which I never did before) so these breakouts could be hormonal and not due to my oily skin. A big difference I've noticed is that the small wrinkle on my forehead is almost gone and my smile lines aren't as prominent. I will buy this product again because it is affordable and controls my oily skin and perhaps next time I'll try the higher concentration.

So far I’ve only used this product for 3 days out of a week of having bought these pads. I cut a round in half and only used on areas where my acne is. I skipped a day in between uses. My acne is hormonal, and I have cysts pop up constantly on my chin. Now that I wear a mask for 12h at work, I also have huge breakouts on my cheeks too. I use the normal cetaphil face wash, then use these pads and finally I moisturize with vani cream after waiting about a minute or so to let the glycolic acid do it’s magic. I really have tried almost everything except accutane. I’ve tried proactive, almost every drugstore product, expensive facials, been on antibiotics, and spironolactone. Honestly it usually takes steroid shots directly on my cystic nodules for them to go down. After using these pads, the huge bastards are drastically reduced and almost gone. I am so relieved !!!! I really even notice the scarring to be diminishing since these cystic turds leave scars whether or not I mess with them. Oh and my skin is very sensitive. I have eczema on my face so just letting someone out there know it works for my skin and hopefully it works for you because no one should have to suffer with acne !!

Very good wipes. Highly recommend.

I've been using for 1.5 weeks now and the 10% glycolic acid has been great as a skin refresher but the 2% salicylic acid is too weak to do anything for my acne. I might buy this again in the future for a glowy complexation but not for acne. The pads have sufficient liquid to get a lot of surface area, which is a plus.

I've been using them for years under the name Glycolix. I would start with a 5% glycolic acid solution if it is your first glycolic acid product but I started using them to shrink my pores and diminish acne scaring from my teenage years and to prevent acne during peri-menopause. I've now been using them off and on for about 6 years and one day a few years ago I also realized my age spots on my face were gone. I recently started using them on my neck and chest as well. You WILL PROBABLY tingle or even itch for a few minutes to an hour after you use them, especially depending on what you use to wash your face or remove makeup. I've used them with salsylic acid face wipes with no problem - retinol face wipes cause me to itch a little longer but no adverse reaction other than that. If you have sensitive skin, that doesn't mean you can't use them but start with 5%-2% instead of 10.
