In reply to Anna.

Anna, unfortunately it’s hard to come across well-formulated pads with both acids. You can try ClarityRX Pick Me Up Booster Pads or Jack Black Power Peel Multi-Acid Resurfacing Pads. But they have more than 5% salicylic acid, so use them less often.

Or you can just opt for a salicylic acid exfoliant. If you have oily skin, you don’t really need glycolic acid. If you’re using it for its anti-aging properties, you’re wasting your money as you need 10% or higher to boost collagen.

In reply to Shannon merrill. Shannon, thank you! This made my day. I have ads on this blog and do consultations because I don't like to do brand sponsorships. Reviews should be 100% genuine and unbiased. :)

I like your approach to evaluating skin care products…most of the time I’m reading a review and it’s sounds like a paid glowing response but you have a reason behind everything you say and I appreciate that.

In reply to Gio. What do you recommend for pads, with both glycolic and salicylic? (for oily skin, which can tolerate 5% glycolic pads twice a day) Excellent site, by the way. Stumbled upon it and have been learning a lot.

In reply to Kelley. Kelley, have you tried Drunk Elephant TLC Framboos Glycolic Night Serum? It has the same exfoliating ingredients. Or are you looking for pads?

I’ve used these off and on for a while, and have noticed that they don’t seem to work as well anymore. This could be why. What do you recommend that would do what these are supposed to do?
