Stridex is a long-running American brand of pre-soaked cleansing pads. Its pads have become a routine staple well beyond their home market, partly because the formula is simple and the pads are convenient to use.

The Stridex collection at Poshy Store features the Stridex Maximum Strength pads in the 55 count tub. These are alcohol-free pads soaked in a salicylic acid solution, which is a beta hydroxy acid. Because each pad is single use, there is no measuring or decanting involved.

People often ask where the pads sit in a routine. They are typically used after cleansing on dry skin, before moisturiser, and are patted in rather than rinsed off. Starting a few times a week rather than daily gives the skin time to adjust, and daytime sunscreen matters when using any exfoliating acid. If you already use other acids or prescription products, it is worth checking with a pharmacist before layering them.
