Okay, let me start by saying I’ve tried *a lot* of exfoliating products, but these pads? Game-changer. The moment I swiped one across my face after cleansing, I could feel the difference—no stinging, just a refreshing tingle. By morning, my skin looked like it had gotten a full night’s sleep (which, let’s be real, it probably hadn’t).

I use them right after washing my face at night. The texture is perfect—not too wet, not too dry—and they glide smoothly without tugging. After about a week, my stubborn blackheads on my nose actually started to fade (cue happy dance). And makeup? Applies like a dream now—no more patchy foundation.

Warning though: Don’t skip moisturizer afterward! I learned the hard way when my skin felt slightly tacky post-pad. A lightweight moisturizer fixes it instantly. Also, yes, they’re pricier than drugstore options, but one pad lasts me two uses (flip it over for round two), so the tub stretches further.

Bonus points for being compostable—I feel less guilty using them daily. If you’re on the fence because of sensitive skin (I get it), patch test first. But for me? These are staying in my routine. My skin hasn’t been this soft since... ever.
