I have always had horrible skin. It is very acne prone, dry, dull, peeling in spots, and when I wake up in the morning you can literally see all of the disgustingness clogging the pores of my face. I recently stopped taking hormonal birth control and my skin has gotten ten times worse. Typically I use a benzoyl peroxide cleaner with a rotating brush. That works wonders but since my skin is now getting worse even that is having a hard time keeping up. I purchased some salicylic acid pads in hopes that the benzoyl peroxide would kill any bacteria and the salicylic acid would help exfoliate the dead skin cells but they have never really worked well for me and this time was no exception. They help to exfoliate, but they always leave my skin dry, tight and shiny. I decided I needed to try something different so I purchased these glycolic pads. I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought them so I was really pleasantly surprised when they worked so well. These pads contain both glycolic acid as well as salicylic acid and the combination has really made a difference in my skin. I am noticing my pimples don't last as long, my face is brighter and overall my skin looks much healthier.
The pads have a citrus smell to them. The pads themselves are not as abrasive as a typical salicylic acid pad which after some research I have learned is a good thing. It is not the abrasive pad that is doing the exfoliating, it is the chemical on the pad. In fact abrasive pads can actually irritate sensitive skin even more so I feel the softness of these pads is a great feature.
To use these, you should first clean your face so that the chemicals can get into your pores more easily. I would recommend a mild cleanser, especially I you have not used glycolic acid before so that you do not over dry your face. Once your face has dried you apply the pads. You can rub but I blot so as to not cause any more irritation. I personally let my face dry and let the chemicals work for about 15 minutes or so and then apply a moisturizer for sensitive skin. I have read that once the chemicals dry it is fine to add moisturizer and I find that the pads work the same regardless of whether I apply moisturizer or not. Keep in mind everyone's skin is different and this may or may not work better for you.
I apply these right before bed (your skin works to repair itself at night so this is the best time) and in the morning I simply wash my face with water and moisturize if needed or if I am going to be applying makeup.
One thing I did learn is that if you don't need an all over exfoliation or if these pads are too strong, it is OK to spot treat with them. For example, most of my breakouts are around my mouth and on my forehead. Sometimes I will treat these areas every night and only treat my entire face every other night. Spot treating was something I never thought of to do and it has helped me tremendously.
Also, make sure to use a good quality moisturizer. Personally I like to add a drop of jojoba oil to my moisturizer because it simulates natural sebum so it kind of regulates how much oil your skin is going to produce when it gets dry. Dry skin tends to produce oil to lubricate itself and oil clogs pores causing the breakout cycle. This is why a lot of people, like myself, with dry skin have acne problems.
These pads have been a great addition to my skin care routine and I truly can see a difference since I have started using them. I definitely recommend giving them a try and I will be back to purchase more in the future.

Comparison Review: Night Extreme vs. Daily Cleansing Pads
These Extreme pads are a true MUST-HAVE beauty item!!! I've ordered this product so many times I thought it time to write a review extolling the many benefits! I use these exfoliating pads on my face & neck as well as the backs of my arms where I get keratosis pilaris (aka. "chicken skin" see pic). I use them nightly and when I run out or forget for say, a week or so, my KP starts to come back so I KNOW they are VERY EFFECTIVE! About Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Pads in General: - Contains 60 pads, or 2 months worth if used once daily. - Very thin, kinda see-though - About the size of a standard cotton round, measuring 55mm diameter. - Premoistened damp but not dripping. - A slightly pocked texture makes them easy to hold onto & friction keeps them stuck to your fingers while applying. - The lid keeps them moist until the very last one (they don't dry out like other pads do). (WINNER) Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix NIGHT EXTREME pads: - Have a nice, very subtle almost citrus smell that feels fresh. - Contains AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) 5% Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acids for exfoliation of acne scars, wrinkles & sun damage - usually products contain anywhere from 2-20% so 5% is a little weak but good for daily use. - Contains BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) Salicylic Acid as an exfoliant for reducing active acne - usually found at a 2% concentration in more over-the-counter cosmetics. Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix DAILY CLEANSING pads: - Have a strong floral scent that is honestly a bit overwhelming; makes it hard to breath when using under the nose / upper lip. - Contains AHA Glycolic Acid but does not list the percentage so I'm going to guess it's minimal - just enough to use it as a sell point. - Contains Hyaluronic Acid which is an INCREDIBLE water-based hydration (moisturizer) that holds between 400x and 1000x its weight in water; Keeps collagen synthesis up, as well as retaining skin moisture; Used as an lip filler (injected). - Contains "Blue Daisy" which claims to soothe and calm the skin, but for me it just makes the pads very strong smelling. Also worth noting: The period-after-opening symbol or PAO symbol tells you how long the product "keeps" for once it is opened. The numbers inside usually tell you in months (such as "6M") how long the self-life is after opening. And for these pads, you have 6 months to use them or lose them (er, their promised efficacy at least). This is worth mentioning because that is a kinda short amount of time. Many products last for 24 months so just be aware of how long you've had them if you aren't using them every day. I use and love these pads and am totally obsessed. I also use them on my man's face when he has clogged pores. I've given them as gifts after letting a friends try them. I'd recommend them for pretty much any skin type since we all need a gentle exfoliant to keep our skin fresh & healthy. I plan to use these Nip + Fab Night Extreme Pads for the foreseeable future so they are very highly recommended!
