I like using cleansing pads in general because I feel like after a face wash they just clear any remaining dirt or makeup so I’ve always used a toner on pads. However I discovered these and I’ve been hooked! They definitely have improved my overall skin. I usually transfer them to a mason jar after opening just so they stay moist. Get it!

I just recently started using these at the recommendation of a dermatologist. They are everything you want them to be, and the best of their kind!

I’ve tried several others that are similar (same active ingredient). To be fair, they’re all pretty good. But these are hands down the best for my dollar (and least costly on top of it). Not sure why Amazon has “moisturizing” as a default category for rating these things, because they’re def not intended for that.

They’re a great generous size, great clean scent, and have useful textured and non-textured sides that allow you to really fine tune and/or use one single pad over a pretty large area if you are mindful and like to be unwasteful.10/10

What sets these pads apart is their ability to exfoliate without causing irritation. They leave my skin feeling clean, without the dryness or redness that often accompanies other exfoliating products.

If you have sensitive skin and are looking for a trustworthy exfoliation solution, I highly recommend giving Stridex Sensitive Pads a try. They've become a staple in my skincare routine, and I couldn't be happier with the results!

5.0 out of 5 stars strong product
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2024
Verified Purchase
I bought this product after a recommendation from a nurse assistant at the dermatology office to help me get rid of pimple-like bumps on my cheek and forehead (possibly caused by clogged pores from not cleaning sunscreen off properly).

I was skeptical since the reviews are mixed with it being a holy grail to it being the worst product ever used. I'm on the side of this product being effective on my face. The small bumps have mostly gone since using this product for 1-2 weeks. I use half a cotton pad after using my usual cleanser and only on affected parts. I follow with my moisturizer after because it is drying.

Although it has worked for me, it did not work for one of my family member as it gave them an allergic reaction. Make sure you give it a patch test on a small area before using the product on your whole face.

these work well for me to keep the excess oils of my face at bay. it's not too harsh on my skin either. just be sure to wash your hands afterwards because that salicylic acid stays on there a while and you may end up eating some with finger foods lol

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Acne Product
Reviewed in Australia on May 26, 2022

I stopped using Paula's Choice because it felt like ants were biting my face, which is a shame because I really like the way it made my skin look. I picked these up instead and I love them. They are perfect to use in any fungal acne routine as they exfoliate skin, but they are also brilliant if you have bacterial acne because of salicylic acid's antibacterial properties.

If you have any sort of acne buy them and try them immediately.

If these were in a fancier package, Stridex would be selling them for a lot more money. This is elite skincare at an affordable price.
