Stridex Medicated Acne Pads Maximum Strength (55 Count)

Stridex Medicated Acne Pads Maximum Strength are pre-soaked pads carrying 2% salicylic acid, a BHA that dissolves in oil and so works inside the pore as well as on the surface. They are a fast, no-measuring way to add a chemical exfoliation step to a routine.

What sets these apart from many acid pads is that they are alcohol-free, so they deliver the acid without the stinging dryness alcohol-heavy formulas can cause. Over time they help clear the build-up that makes pores look blocked, and the skin surface looks clearer and reads smoother.

The tub holds 55 pads and travels well. Start slowly, since 2% at this pH is a meaningful strength, and pair with a moisturizer.

How to use: cleanse the skin, then wipe one pad over the area you want to target, avoiding the eyes. Start with once daily and increase only if your skin stays comfortable. Follow with moisturizer, and always use sunscreen during the day.

Active ingredient: salicylic acid 2% (BHA). Size: 55 pads. Skin type: oily, combination and congested skin.
