Glycolic acid pads help to refine dull, lifeless complexions, even skin tone , and unclog pours by stimulating the exfoliation of the epidermis.
Apply to clean skin. Smooth pad over face avoiding eyes and lips and allow to set on skin for 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. After 3 weeks of use, pending skin tolerance, treatment can be left on without rinsing. Dispose pad after single use. Can be used every other day, up to 3 times per week, or as recommended by your physician. Follow with sunscreen in the morning and moisturize in the evening.

My 8 year old daughter has keratosis pilaris on her arms and it has become fairly significant. Her pediatrician suggested we try these medicated pads and after 4 weeks, we are seeing a good amount of improvement. The bumps are reduced by at least 50% and they are not as raised as before. We will continue to use this product in the future. Note: my daughter`s skill tollerates the use of this medication after her shower and all night long. Her doctor suggested she leave it on for 2 hours, however, we are using it continuously and it has not caused any problems.
Pros: ease of use
Cons: nothing so far

I believe that I started seeing a difference quick soon after I started using these pads. They do make my face tingle a little but less and less as the days pass. I`ve received quite a few compliments about how my skin looks and I`m very happy with the pads. I might go up to the 20% pads in a few months.
Pros: They couldn't be easier to use, the packaging is pretty and I thought the price was very reasonable. I saw Dr. Denese on PBS and she said that 8 - 10% glycolic acid was needed to have an effect - lots of these pads don't advertise their potency.
Cons: No cons that I can think of.

I purchased these to help with some acne scaring, but have yet to see any results after using them for 3 weeks. I like the idea that they are in a tub as I can squeeze out the excess solution and use it later with a cotton ball. However, like I said, I`m not sure if using them will even make a difference. In retrospect, I would have purchased something that had more positive reviews.
