2 Stars Not Worth the price
I have troubled acne and i was expecting this product to improve this condition somewhat as it is by a highly respected product line and sold at one of the leading beauty retailers. Also, I am stuck on the “you get what you pay for kick” and i believed that since this product had a moderate to expensive price tag, that it would be much more effective. Unfortunately i was not pleased. The product caused excessive dryness and after I used the product for about 50 days, there was no improvement in my complexion. Instead of paying $36.50, I think you will gain the same result by purchasing some Oxy or Stridex pads in the drug store for about a fourth of the price.
5 Stars amazing results
First a heads up! There are two of these products that look exactly alike. One is 1/2 percent salicylic acid, the other is a full 2% so if you have sensitive skin, start with the 1/2 percent, not the 2% (just look at the picture closely, read the print on the jar).
Second, a warning: your fingertips can get dry from repeated contact with the glycolic acid and other ingredients in this product, so wear a rubber glove or alternate hands. I do not mean to scare you off. It is an absolutely fantastic product. Within a week of daily use (once a day) you will see improvements in clarity, texture, pore size–all of it! With continued use, you will have a beautiful skin surface that looks younger, more radiant and has fewer imperfections. It will clear up your acne too.
5 Stars I love this product!
I am in my late twenties and in that phase where I am starting to notice fine lines yet am still getting the occasional pimple. These pads have tightened my skin and defeated my zits. It’s also helped fade my melasma. The lines on my forehead are gone and my husband loves the way they leave my skin soft and smelling yummy like peaches. Be sure to use sunscreen when you go out because the glycolic acid makes your skin sensitive to the sun. I’ve recommended them to many of my girlfriends and turned them into Peter Thomas Ross addicts.
5 Stars Can’t live without!
I was first introduced to this product at a spa during a facial. The esthetiician said it was great for people who did not want to take the time to exfoliate on a regular basis. I have been hooked ever since! This product minimizes poors, keeps break outs away and exfoliates. Great product!
5 Stars Worth Every Penny
Perhaps unlike others considering this purchase, I have normal to dry, sometimes sensitive skin. I don’t have “problem” acne, but in the summer my face sometimes feels like a grease-fest, and I’ll get the occasional blemish. When I bought these I really just wanted a good exfoliant, as the mask I had been using got discontinued.
I’ve only been using these for three days, but the difference in my skin is amazing. My pores look distinctly smaller, and the two blemishes I had forming when I received the product were gone IN ONE DAY. Granted, you can use these up to 3 times per day according to package instructions, and on the first day I did, but I think generally it will only be necessary once or twice a day to maintain results. Also, this has officially replaced my normal facial cleanser, as the exfoliating side of the pads seems to remove every speck of dirt that ever thought about settling into your pores! This product has NOT irritated my fair skin.
A few things regarding the product itself: It contains 10% glycolic acid. This is the maximum amount of that exfoliant available without a prescription, so you get a high level of chemical exfoliation. You also get a very high level of physical exfoliation with the appropriately textured side of the pad. It’s on par with home micro-dermabrasion kits. In spite of all this exfoliating power, these pads are packed with skin-soothers: chamomile, comfrey, green tea, aloe and allantoin, which is also used to reduce the appearance of scars in a variety of products. The only exception I would take with the veracity of the product description is the scent description. These smell like alcohol to me, not peaches. However, the scent quickly evaporates, and I personally don’t care for synthetic peach smell anyway. The pads are not thick, but they are thoroughly saturated, and it only takes one to treat the whole face. Highly recommended, and a terrific value.
