2 bought so far. I think it is a great salicylic acid, as I see an improvement on my skin when I use it regularly (improves acne, exfoliates and smoothes the skin). It's a good size and the pads are nicely drenched in the salicylic acid toner/lotion and it definitely helps with acne.The 2 reasons why I don't give 5 stars, although I wish I could, are:1) The mint / menthol scent is strong; I find that fake super-fresh minty feeling in the skin very unnecessary. I don't believe that not adding fragrance or oils would have taken away from the experience.2) While using the pads, it creates some sort of foam. I am not bothered by that per se, but unfortunately, even after leaving it to dry completely on the face (which is something I don't like doing, at all!) it ...Ā More2 bought so far.

It happens with most moisturisers/sunscreen as well. I find it very annoying and limits the type and consistency of products I can use after it. The extra time to let it dry before any other product is also annoying.Overall, it works, pads are soft, not gritty, but the mint makes it not for sensitive skin and it impacts the use of other products you might want to use in the same routine.Great price point.Label can use a redesign.

IT'S MUST-HAVE PRODUCT FOR MY LIFE!I frequently have millet acne on my forehead. This lasts for quite a while. so very stressful. However, since I wiped my face with this 2% salicylic acid product in the morning or evening (I have sensitive and combination skin, so I only used it once a day) after washing my face, the condition improved noticeably!!HERE IS THE POINT- For the effectiveness of salicylic acid, it is recommended to completely remove moisture after washing your face.- Just wiping with a pad has a sufficient exfoliating effect, so lightly wipe along the skin texture.- Instead of using multiple ampoules after using the salicylic acid pad, layer just one cream/lotion several times to provide sufficient moisture.

I finally found exactly what I was looking for, these don't have to be chewed like a tablet or sucked on like a hard candy (which I am afraid to choke on) these just dissolve in your mouth very easily within a minute or so and the taste is pleasant enough for me to be able to use them. I have dysphagia which means I can't swallow solid foods so I need to take supplements to get my daily requirements of Vit.C , D, and Zinc these are the ones that keep my immune system boosted up so I don't catch colds or flu's. The price was reasonable and best of all they taste good which makes me know I'll take them ! I also trust Nature Made products. These cost less than an RX from my Insurance co. for the liquid form which I don't like the taste of.

Scent is greatUse is easyQuality is greatSize lasts longFor every ageThe packaging is cuteBenefits the skinComposition is greatCan be frequently usedSensitive skinGives the skin moistureIs gentleNiacinamide serum can be beneficial for a wide range of ages, but it's generally recommended to start using it in your early 20s. This is when skin begins to experience changes such as increased oil production, early signs of aging, and potential for breakouts. However, niacinamide is gentle enough that it can be introduced earlier for specific skin concerns like acne or redness, and it remains effective for older individuals looking to improve skin texture, tone, and barrier function.

I absolutely LOVE this product, itās an ultimate game-changer. I have suffered from acne for over 15 years. Although now I donāt get cystic acne anymore, I still did breakout quite often, even during winter. In the past I was also allergic to salicylic acid products as well so I was very skeptical to Stridex as well. However, I decided to give it a try. Normally I would cut the piece into 3 (as 1 pad is too big) and apply to my face right after washing. It is very gentle and not irritating at all. Within 1 month, I saw drastic improvements to my skin, breakouts were gone, the skin is glowing. Now I keep buying to make sure I have enough stock at home. Strongly recommend to anyone who is suffering from acne of all levels.
OMG! I can't believe I never tried this sooner despite it being a cult favorite and holy grail for many ppl. I've always avoided fragrance in skincare because I have sensitive rosacea prone skin, but as my skin barrier has slowly improved, I find that I can now tolerate fragrance in skincare lately. This product is so gentle on my skin! I use two different cleansers to wash my face from daily sunscreen use. After I cleanse, I use the Stidex pad and I am SHOCKED at how much residue and sebum it picks up!!! After one use, my skin was clearer in the morning! I have a lot of little bumps all over my face (not acne or pimples), just clogged pores, and this stuff gets rid of it. I do have large comedones that stridex can't seem to penetrate into, BUT when I use stridex ...Ā MoreOMG!

I have a lot of little bumps all over my face (not acne or pimples), just clogged pores, and this stuff gets rid of it. I do have large comedones that stridex can't seem to penetrate into, BUT when I use stridex and then adapalene on top of it, the active ingredients work better! Just don't do it back to back to back. For large comedones, I honestly think I need an extraction, but I'm doing this combo for now. I've tried using stridex in various ways but the most important thing is to rub my skin in various different directions (gently) until all the liquid on the pad has been soaked in. I sometimes use a moisturizer over it and sometimes I don't. The simethicone leaves my skin smooth and honestly, even tho my skin feels a tad tight sometimes, leaving it as is without a moisturizer overnight allows my skin to de-clog over time. My skin has been the smoothest it's ever been for a looong time minus the large comedones. And I love the soothing menthol feel on the skin. The fragrance is so light, like a toned down vicks and doesn't irritate my skin at all. I will always use this as my go to salicylic acid skincare!
If you've been suffering from acne, then this product is for you. This is your solution right here. Stop, right there, and order it, with some caveats, ofcourse.It says it right on the box. It really is touch on acne. However, easy on skin? Not so much. It leaves your face super super super dry (which is how it works, by the way), so make sure you use a non-comedogenic moisturiser afterwards to get the maximum benefit without destroying your skin & face.As far as frequency of application is concerned, you should use this (as far as my experience) twice daily, applying it gently and leaving it to dry and work its magic. You do not need to rinse this off.Highly recommended, as far as you take proper precautions while using it, and take care not to apply it too ...Ā MoreIf you've been suffering from acne, then this product is for you.

An excellent remedy for combating subcutaneous tubercles, inflammation, and skin irregularities. This product, composed of 2% salicylic acid, is known for its beneficial effect on the upper layer of the skin. It exfoliates the stratum corneum of the skin qualitatively, instantly making the skin radiate light and health. I advise using this product with caution, as 2% is a fairly active concentration. No more than 1-2 times per week is recommended. I have a pack of 55 pieces, and in more than six months, I used half of them on myself and my partner. Therefore, it's best to take a smaller size. The use of the product is convenient, with a fresh smell. I would not say that it's delicate; rather, it's aggressive. For sensitive skin, try it with great care.
