Didn't like
-05.04.13
I have been using these for a few weeks. I have oily/acne prone skin. I was very disappointed with these, they didn't do anything for my skin and left a sticky film on my face and my face seemed to be even oilyier in the morning. They didn't cause any breakouts however. Not worth the price, will not buy again

Sensitive skin has benefitted. Has not aggravated roscea. I use at night and the first week or so had lots of peeling. Gentle exfoliation every other day and moisturizing oil- now my skin is very much improved. No peeling-just cleareer more even toned skin. It has reduced blackheads and whiteheads. This is gentle and thorough-it removes any lingering trace of cosmetic.

Quick Take: exfoliating
I LOVE this product! I have only had it for about 2 weeks. I use it every night after I wash my face. Then put my moistureizer on and wake up to beautiful skin! I just rinse my face in the morning with water - and start my day routine. This stuff has improved the texture of my skin in just this short amount of time. Pores look smaller and skin looks and feels smoother!
My face did end up with a few peeling spoots after the fiirst week of use (around my nose and hairline) but I just made sure to put a little dab of extra mouisterizer on those spots and they have been better ever since.

Quick Take: exfoliating, smoothing
This is my new favorite product from BE! I've always loved using a toner, but could not find one that I really liked that didn't irritate my skin or really dry it out. These pads are great. It feels like it gets any last traces of makeup off my face as well as primes it for the serum and night cream. It does not sting or irritate my skin, but leaves it feeling soft, smooth and clean. I don't think I will ever go without these little miracle pads!!!!

fantastic...
-01.10.13
Quick Take: hydrating, exfoliating, cleansing, deep pore cleansing, blackhead eraser
If there was a better word for this product I would have found it...
I was so afraid to open these and try them because I have SUPER sensitive skin with some rosacea and alot of things irritate my skin. I got these to maintain my skin after my weekly peel, and I thought these would be too harsh in addition to my weekly peel, but I took the plunge deep inside this big tub of pads. I got instant glow and NO redness or irritation at all, I used both sides, the scrubby side first then the soft side in circular motions all over my face, additionally in the crevice of my nose after cleansing with the purifying cleanser. Well I thought I got all my (very light) makeup off with the cleanser, but then when I looked at the pad I was amazed at the dead skin and gunky makeup and blackhead residue !!! Its fantastic what this gets off even after you think you've cleansed thoroughly. I love these! I will definately be using them often, daily if all is well...and I will be stocking up on them as soon as I can! Once I find a product that works and doesn't irritate me, I'm all in. Wow. I'm new to the world of peels and intensive treatments and I think this is what my skin has been needing all these years of searching....new makeup, BB creams, lotions, cleansers, face brushes. But in reality I needed something better, not new makeup or lotion or cream....yay for glowing skin!

Quick Take: clarifying, smoothing, shrinks pores
I have used this product for several months and the results on my skin are amazing. I even stopped for a while to test. All my problems returned. Went back to these pads and my great skin returned. I have clogged pores which as I age are getting BIGGER, yuk. This product is shrinking them, yay! I use it every day and have no problem with sensitivity or drying.

great for dry and mature skin
-12.03.12
If you have dry and mature skins, this is great for you. IT keeps your skin hydrated in the night. I use BE foundation and it really help keep my skin looking great. This is my repurchase. Follow the direction on how you should use it. Circular motion. It is great. You can tell after a few weeks.

best part of my beauty routine!
-11.07.12
Quick Take: exfoliating, radiance in a jar
this, besides mineral veil, is my favorite bare minerals product. it really has made my skin brighter, more even, and has made my pores smaller. it hasn't really done much for me in the "clear skin" department, though. i know some have said it has done wonders for their acne, but i still rely on acne creams and such for that. however, with everything else involving skin beauty, yeah, these pads are pretty friggin' awesome. i'm actually on my second container now.
i hope that leslie never discontinues this product, as it has become part of my daily (or nightly i should say) routine. and one container can last you 2 or more months, so it's worth the price.
one more thing! my husband even looked at me and said "your skin has sort of a GLOW lately. i don't know how to describe it, but it just does." sooooooooo ladies, if someone like my husband (who is not the type to notice these things) or any husband/boyfriend notices your brighter skin, then you KNOW it's a good product.

My holy grail!
-10.28.12
Quick Take: hydrating, exfoliating
I've been battling rosacea for about 7 years. My skin isn't quite as sensitive as it used to be (even water irritated it), but I was still apprehensive about trying this product, as every non-prescribed skin care product I've tried was massively irritating. Convinced it would cause even more redness and irritation, I tried this on a small section of my skin first. I was amazed when there was no irritation at all.
I can't say that I've seen any improvement in the color of my skin, because not even this miracle product can reverse broken capillaries. My skin was extremely dry and flaky, which caused me to obsessively exfoliate it, with little result and much irritation. That is, until I found this! Feeling oily the morning after using this truly is a miracle to me. And since my skin is naturally dry, I don't find that the oily-ness continues after I've rinsed my face the morning after using it. My skin feels fantastic and I am VERY glad I decided to try this product. I love, love, love it!

So far so good!
-09.11.12
I've only had this product for a couple weeks, but I'm definitely seeing an improvement in the glowing quality of my skin. My skin seems more even and brighter.
I do have minor red acne scars and although i don't see a HUGE change in their appearance, they're definitely a LITTLE lighter so far. But that's good for only two weeks!
These do not dry out my skin, and they feel really refreshing.
I'd definitely recommend this product because it's natural and not full of harmful chemicals. It also seems to be WORKING!

I gave these pads a try and am now on my second jar of them - I really do think they have improved my skin tone and texture! I like how they are gentle enough for everyday and not too aggressive on my skin or drying at all.

Quick Take: exfoliating, non-irritating, powerful
This product smooths, refreshes, and brightens my skin. I only use them about three times per week because that is all that is needed. I have also notices that I get fewer to zero breakouts too!

Quick Take: exfoliating, gentle effective acne fighting, skin brightening, pore minimzing, evens tone
I love these glow pads so much. They have radically changed my face. I have adult acne that is worse than when I was a teen. I also have sensitive skin and have never found acne treatment that was effective without destroying my skin--until now. These glow pads have reduced my break-outs by half, at least. My acne scars (the bruise-ish under the skin kind) are fading daily, and I couldn't be more thrilled. Thank you, thank you BE for making this life-saver!!!

Wow!
-04.08.12
I have dry, sensitive, fair skin. I bought this to even out my skin tone and get rid of dry skin. I use this with the Active Cell Renewal Night Serum. I am amazed with the results! After just one use, I no longer had dry skin flakes on my face. Even though I am 40 years old, I don't have wrinkles, so I can't speak to how usefully this product is for reducing wrinkles. I do have sensitive skin and I have stayed away from AHAs because of the tingling/stinging sensation they cause on my skin. I have never had any tingling/stinging with this product. When using this product, be sure to use sunscreen.
