first of all let me say that if you have dry skin, DO NOT USE stridex pads. but since i have oily skin, they worked pretty well for me. my brother had been using them for a while and his skin looked great! so i decided to try them. in a couple of days my acne was pretty much gone! then i switched over to clearasil face wash to see how it would work, and it worked for about a month then i started breaking out again. i am definitely switching back to stridex acne pads!

These work wonderfully!! But only if you have oily skin!!! Im warning people with dry skin that you should NOT use these. But it did clear up my face very nicely. If you do use these then use the stridex sensitive with aloe!!!

I thought these were horrible. Its not the burning that bothers me, its the excessive over drying that occured on my forehead, nose, and chin. People have different skin types and these aren't made for me..

this works great i have used it many times and my acne goes away for along time if you dont use it then your acne will come back me personaly it stung at first but i got over the pain cuz i wanna look good for my girlfriend so i use it as a test and the next day i really noticed it going away

ok well to me stridex is ok it just makes your skin really dry also it does take the acne away but there is acne there that just cant be seen im switching back to proactiv and ill see how that works other than that scne is just a problem :x

These make your acne worse!! Your skin needs some moisture in it and these pads make your skin so dry. RESULT: Your skin is going to produce more oil for the oil that it is now lacking from these pads. You need to be gentle to your skin and if you need something stronger go to your dermatologist!

I think these acne pads are okay. I have problems with scaring. any help on how to clear them up??

These really work. I use the stridex maximum 1-2 times a day and its great. my acne is clear and gone! i actually stopped using these because i ran out and kept on forgetting to buy them, and within a week, i was breaking out like crazy! i immediately bought some more and my acne cleared within days.

This product was horrible. Not only did it not clear up my acne, but it stung so badly and left my face red for five days.

ya'll need to suck it up.ya its gonna sting but if u want to get better skin quit complaining. and if ur skin is dry get a good moisturizer like cetaphil.i think this product is great. it dries my skin a little but a bit moisturizer and my skin is smooth agian .it gets rid of the dirt tht regular clensing misses and cleans of makeup in a breeze. and about the smell i dont think its bad at all and if it does hold ur breath or just breath out of ur moush.so simple yet so hard for some but w/e.

ok they sting a little its like listerine in your mouth, its gotta kill the bad crap and so itll hurt for a secconbd but it is no where near as bad as they say it is... no pain no game rite? it works ok on zits already thier so its cool, im not sure how much it really prevents but we will never know id recomend it

Hi i would like to say its true these pads can be quite drying to my face and a bit strong if i use to many however i do think its great they have taken out the alcohol makes them a closer natural pad than all chemically however to use like says directed is not at all good for your skin it gets super oily if left on to many hours i say a couple is fine like under sheer moisturizer tint instead of makeup or sheer powder like ones for prone to breakout skin and as a morning wipe instead of cleanser all the time which strips natural oils or when theirs no time to wash your face and at night right in bed cleanse face and go to sleep with stuff from the pad on.Do not use any more times only for cleansing face in place of a face cleanser mostly and if you wear tint or powder use these to wipe off or remover wipes or cloths or little alcohol dilluted in some water or mineral water like evian try even milk mixed in water with a spray cap spritz on cotton pad dont let particles get in eyes or use something mix it with a liitle cream only to remove makeup or coldcream lotion cream then spritz face evian and wipe face when face is not dripping or wet and use stridex pad for the finishing cleanser if stings grab your evian water or other spitz a little dont take the med.off store evian bottle chilled 5 min or 3 or 10 and spritz when burning.have a oil free moisturizer at any sign of dryness and exfoliate at any peek of peeling dont use the old ones with alcohol use stridex triple action pads they clean like a cleanser and treat and prevent get sensitive ones with aloe have 90 pads. use only to clean face and prevent for treating acne no way use only along side your treatment or theirs fruit therapy and thier night and day and body wash remember this is for a little preventing and controlling skin issues.

did absolutely nothing. at least it taught NEVER to use anything w/ salicycic acid. made the oilness much worse.

This is what I typically use. I only have one problem area on my face: the right side of my chin...which seems to flare up based on stress. Day to day, Stridex pads work great for me, but they don't do anything when that area breaks out.

This product was horible. It not only made my face worse, I had a burning feeling after applying it to my face, and the burning lasted all night! I will never use Stridex Acne Pads again!

stung my face and made it all red

Stidex pads really work they clear up acne and blemishes!! I really sugest you use stridex I don't have any acne and I use Stridex acne pads!!!!!

Yeah, they suck. If your acne is just minor, you can kill it with this regimen: Buy: Neutrogena acne soap bar (orange, clear soap) 1 Bottle rubbing alcohol Napkins Nature's Cure Vanishing Cream Acne Medication Wash face w/ Neutrogena. Then soak a napkin with alcohol and wash your face with it. Then rub enough of Nature's Cure on your face to cover your face. The most important thing is to do this at least twice a day every day. You'll keep your acne under control.

Stridex USED to be good until they took the alcohol out of them. Now they do absolutely nothing for your face but make it nice and shiny. It does NOTHING for acne. You are better off buying Clearasil pads or OXY pads.

I really loved these. They dried up my zits fast and made my skin smooth. Within two days, my zits were gone. These are perfect.

I used these maximum strength pads when I first saw I had Acne. It worked great, but stung a lot, and after useing it for a week, my skin peeled A LOT. I used the Normal kind, and I started to break out.

The salicylic acid in this product exfoliates my skin and gives it a smoother texture. Although it is drying, I just use extra moisturizer to compensate and it's worth it!

One word to sum these things up...Ouch! They sting like you wouldn't believe, and they make your face feel dry and your skin feels almost sticky after you use them. You can see that they do pick up dirt, but they aren't really effective in helping clear up breakouts. And I can't stress on how much they make your face hurt...it's not a tingling sensation, but more like a burning, needles-on-your-skin feeling. In short, there are better acne treatments out there...this one is not for everybody.

These stupid things sting like Hell and they DO NOT work AT ALL to control pimples. YOu might as well buy sand paper and scrape it across your face b/c that's what they feel like. I totally wasted my money on this sh*t so unless you feel like throwing away your money on something STupid, don't get these.

Terrible!!!!! This stuff is come cheap sh*t you can just do by putting alcohol over come cotton ball or pad. It dried my combination skin up and left some sticky residue! I had to wash my face again twice to get that nasty feeling off! Man i wanted to punch the company!

It gets rid of a lot of the dirt and oil, but it leaves your face dry and causes you to sweat.

Maybe it works well for those with oily skin. This product leaves your skin dry, itchy and irritated. Not a good product to use.

This stuff dries out your face. It makes blemishes look redder and your face gets all dry and peels. It's gross.

Excellent product! Cleans the pores without drying the skin.

I can see dirt come off my face when I use these. You can feel your skin tingle. It's clean.

This product works very well. It removes the dirt from your face which helps prevent breakouts. The only bad thing is it is a bit strong and stings a little.

I tried it on my face, but it was so strong it ended up drying out my face. I was peeling for one week. The smell is strong too.

Doesn't work! Smells bad. It leaves a greasy film on my face. My blemishes don't go away unless I let the pad soak on my face for a few hours. Good for cleaning your face, not effective for blemishes.

This product is too strong. It doesn't smell good and it makes me break out with pimples. It makes my skin dry, too.

The pads do work good and do clean your face, but they leave a dry face and also they smell too much like alcohol. The thing is they make you break out even more at first, then it starts to work. But coming up with the idea was great for acne.

The pads are very good at cleaning my skin and removing makeup, but it doesn't do its job getting rid of blemishes. I've seen no changes in my facial skin.

Well the first time I used these pads it was cool because I could feel the pads make my skin tingle, it felt like they were working. Once I had rubbed the pads over my skin it felt like my pores were opening up and "breathing." I used these pads for a week, but in this short amount of time I could see a lot of my pimples going away, as well as blemishes on my skin that I had caused by picking at my skin.

Doesn't work well and dried out my face real bad.

Drys your face and sometimes causes breakouts, which is why you are using it, so it doesn't help you.
