I love this product. It does not dry up my skin. It not only clears up acne but also fades discoloration. Philosophy has great products. I would recommend to all.

Quick Take: moisturizing
I got these in a trial pack with other benefit acne products and these were the first things I decided to buy in the full size. They are easy to use and feel great on my skin. The don't over dry my face and I have noticed an improvement in breakout frequency. I'm not sure if it's just me, but a full acne pad is lots more than I need to get full coverage on my face. I tear them in half and use one of those every night. I recommend this product!

Skin clearing miracle!
-02.18.13
Quick Take: exfoliating, acne-clearing
After a few weeks of using these bad boys at night, my skin is so clear! No, I never had horrible acne, but I usually have at least one zit, with a few more popping up during a certain time of the month. This month, however, my face stayed totally clear! It hasn't dried my skin out, either, which is a miracle with my already-verging-on-dry skin. I would totally recommend this to everyone! I will say, however, that it hasn't done anything to change the size of my pores, but hey - one battle at a time.

-02.03.13
Quick Take: effective
I've struggled with breakouts for several years & nothing worked to keep my skin clear for more than a couple weeks. However, I started using these pads three months ago, my acne has cleared up and my skin looks great! I really like that they are effective without drying out my skin. Terrific product!

Didn't work
-01.18.13
Quick Take: uneffective
I break out when stressed or that time of the month so I just wanted something to keep the acne in check and to not let it get out of control however, this product seemed to make more come out. It wasn't very effective in treating or preventing break outs. It only has .05% salicylic acid so I guess for my skin it just wasn't harsh enough.

Great pads just before bed
-12.19.12
Quick Take: great for traveling, perfect for night time cleaning, easy to use, doesn't dry out
I've tried many many different kinds of cleaners and wipes and these are by far the best. They aren't so hard on my skin they dry it out but strong enough to keep it from breaking out overnight. Took a long time to find it but now that I have I'm throwing out the rest of the stuff I've collected along the way. I'm 52 so there is a lot to get rid of :)

Quick Take: healing
I buy these for my teenage son. He uses these every night after using the cleanser. They work really well for him. Help keep his skin clearer and "heal" any breakouts while sleeping. They really help keep the breakouts to a minimum.

Quick Take: exfoliating
I am in my 40's and reliving the acne from my teenage years. I have been getting eruptions on my chin and hair line that refuse to go away. I was considering going to a dermatologist. I tried this product based on the reviews and can honestly say that within 2 weeks I am acne free, no signs of new pimples forming, previous scars have diminished, my face looks clearer, feels smoother and actually shine free in my t-zone throughout the day. I am completely in love with this stuff. I use it typically at night before bed, but have used it in the morning as well and it is non irritating and non drying.

Quick Take: non-drying, good for acne prone skin
I bought the starter kit for the clear days ahead, and this is the only thing I refilled. I have dry, acne prone skin, and this doesn't dry my face out and keeps my hormonal acne down and helps the ones that pop up down and seem to heal faster.

Some kinda miracle
-11.12.12
Quick Take: exfoliating
I was uncharacteristically breaking out and didn't know what to do, so I gave these pads a try. After ONE USE, the pimples that were forming stopped and the pimples I had disappeared. Over the next month, I've used one pad every night, and haven't had a pimple since. I'm a believer!

It is effective yet subtle enough so it does not dry out skin. I use a pad after I wash my face in the morning and evening in the summer and in the winter months I just use once in the evening. Great combination with the Clear Days Ahead face wash!

While it doesn't clears up my blackheads, it does prevent most breakouts (aside from the hormonal ones, which there is no helping). I like that it doesn't strip my face entirely of moisture yet it still leaves that squeaky clean fresh feeling. I actually bought a backup container because I'm almost out of my first one.

Want clear skin fast? Then this is for you
-09.08.12
Quick Take: hydrating, exfoliating, moisturizing, great value, fast acting, amazing, it works!, smells wonderful, luxurious
I loved the 30 day kit so much I bought all of the full size products! This works best if you apply it in a circular motion and you can also cute them in half so you have more because ive noticed that 1 pad is more than enough and half is just enough.
