Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme (60 Count) – 5% Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Face Pads with Salicylic Acid – Resurfacing AHA BHA Chemical Peel for Blemishes & Texture

I have always had horrible skin. It is very acne prone, dry, dull, peeling in spots, and when I wake up in the morning you can literally see all of the disgustingness clogging the pores of my face. I recently stopped taking hormonal birth control and my skin has gotten ten times worse. Typically I use a benzoyl peroxide cleaner with a rotating brush. That works wonders but since my skin is now getting worse even that is having a hard time keeping up. I purchased some salicylic acid pads in hopes that the benzoyl peroxide would kill any bacteria and the salicylic acid would help exfoliate the dead skin cells but they have never really worked well for me and this time was no exception. They help to exfoliate, but they always leave my skin dry, tight and shiny. I decided I needed to try something different so I purchased these glycolic pads. I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought them so I was really pleasantly surprised when they worked so well. These pads contain both glycolic acid as well as salicylic acid and the combination has really made a difference in my skin. I am noticing my pimples don't last as long, my face is brighter and overall my skin looks much healthier. The pads have a citrus smell to them. The pads themselves are not as abrasive as a typical salicylic acid pad which after some research I have learned is a good thing. It is not the abrasive pad that is doing the exfoliating, it is the chemical on the pad. In fact abrasive pads can actually irritate sensitive skin even more so I feel the softness of these pads is a great feature. To use these, you should first clean your face so that the chemicals can get into your pores more easily. I would recommend a mild cleanser, especially I you have not used glycolic acid before so that you do not over dry your face. Once your face has dried you apply the pads. You can rub but I blot so as to not cause any more irritation. I personally let my face dry and let the chemicals work for about 15 minutes or so and then apply a moisturizer for sensitive skin. I have read that once the chemicals dry it is fine to add moisturizer and I find that the pads work the same regardless of whether I apply moisturizer or not. Keep in mind everyone's skin is different and this may or may not work better for you. I apply these right before bed (your skin works to repair itself at night so this is the best time) and in the morning I simply wash my face with water and moisturize if needed or if I am going to be applying makeup. One thing I did learn is that if you don't need an all over exfoliation or if these pads are too strong, it is OK to spot treat with them. For example, most of my breakouts are around my mouth and on my forehead. Sometimes I will treat these areas every night and only treat my entire face every other night. Spot treating was something I never thought of to do and it has helped me tremendously. Also, make sure to use a good quality moisturizer. Personally I like to add a drop of jojoba oil to my moisturizer because it simulates natural sebum so it kind of regulates how much oil your skin is going to produce when it gets dry. Dry skin tends to produce oil to lubricate itself and oil clogs pores causing the breakout cycle. This is why a lot of people, like myself, with dry skin have acne problems. These pads have been a great addition to my skin care routine and I truly can see a difference since I have started using them. I definitely recommend giving them a try and I will be back to purchase more in the future.

These Extreme pads are a true MUST-HAVE beauty item!!! I've ordered this product so many times I thought it time to write a review extolling the many benefits! I use these exfoliating pads on my face & neck as well as the backs of my arms where I get keratosis pilaris (aka. "chicken skin" see pic). I use them nightly and when I run out or forget for say, a week or so, my KP starts to come back so I KNOW they are VERY EFFECTIVE! About Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Pads in General: - Contains 60 pads, or 2 months worth if used once daily. - Very thin, kinda see-though - About the size of a standard cotton round, measuring 55mm diameter. - Premoistened damp but not dripping. - A slightly pocked texture makes them easy to hold onto & friction keeps them stuck to your fingers while applying. - The lid keeps them moist until the very last one (they don't dry out like other pads do). (WINNER) Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix NIGHT EXTREME pads: - Have a nice, very subtle almost citrus smell that feels fresh. - Contains AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) 5% Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acids for exfoliation of acne scars, wrinkles & sun damage - usually products contain anywhere from 2-20% so 5% is a little weak but good for daily use. - Contains BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) Salicylic Acid as an exfoliant for reducing active acne - usually found at a 2% concentration in more over-the-counter cosmetics. Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix DAILY CLEANSING pads: - Have a strong floral scent that is honestly a bit overwhelming; makes it hard to breath when using under the nose / upper lip. - Contains AHA Glycolic Acid but does not list the percentage so I'm going to guess it's minimal - just enough to use it as a sell point. - Contains Hyaluronic Acid which is an INCREDIBLE water-based hydration (moisturizer) that holds between 400x and 1000x its weight in water; Keeps collagen synthesis up, as well as retaining skin moisture; Used as an lip filler (injected). - Contains "Blue Daisy" which claims to soothe and calm the skin, but for me it just makes the pads very strong smelling. Also worth noting: The period-after-opening symbol or PAO symbol tells you how long the product "keeps" for once it is opened. The numbers inside usually tell you in months (such as "6M") how long the self-life is after opening. And for these pads, you have 6 months to use them or lose them (er, their promised efficacy at least). This is worth mentioning because that is a kinda short amount of time. Many products last for 24 months so just be aware of how long you've had them if you aren't using them every day. I use and love these pads and am totally obsessed. I also use them on my man's face when he has clogged pores. I've given them as gifts after letting a friends try them. I'd recommend them for pretty much any skin type since we all need a gentle exfoliant to keep our skin fresh & healthy. I plan to use these Nip + Fab Night Extreme Pads for the foreseeable future so they are very highly recommended!

Great product. Used it a long time and always consistent.

I previously was using (and liked) the St. Ives exfoliating pads, but they were unfortunately discontinued. So I wanted to find a reasonably priced alternative that would perform similar to the way the St. Ives pads did, and found these. I already bought and used an entire container of these and they are the best exfoliating pads I have found that are reasonably priced! They are an even better deal here on amazon, although they do sell these in the store. I originally tried the “Philosophy” brand “Microdelivery Microdermabrasion peel pads” a few years ago, but they have since changed the packaging and quantity and the price is way too high for me to afford. So I searched for a “dupe” of that product and found the St.Ives ones (now discontinued). I then searched again, and the Nip and Fab brand (these) had good reviews so I decided to try them, and I do not regret it! I definitely recommend these pads to anyone looking for an affordable alternative to other brands exfoliating pads, as I’ve found that these work just as well! I also feel that these have helped clear my skin and make it much smoother! Edit: I have since bought these pads 3 times and now plan on purchasing again- they are great! They have really helped my acne and acne scars and just re-texturizing my skin overall, and they can be used everyday. Love these pads and the price is also reasonable! I also tried the Pixi glow pads which were more expensive and did not like them as much as these...in short, these are the best pads I have found for re-texturing skin and eliminating acne and acne scars without being too harsh or burning (other than the very expensive Philosophy microdelivery pads that they don’t make anymore- plus those were for use once-twice per week). In short, I will continue to purchase these as long as they are available and they are so much better than any liquid toners I have tried (I have tried a lot- Burt’s Bees, Neutrogena (2 types), Sea Breeze, Witch Hazel) plus no need to keep buying cotton rounds.

Can't explain how happy I am to find these! I absolutely loved the St. Ives exfoliating pads, but was super bummed when they discontinued them a few years ago. Was recently on a skincare forum and someone brought up how much they missed using the St. Ives pads, too, when another user suggested these. So glad they did! I actually like these more than the other one and am already seeing nice results after just a short use. They really plumped my face up and I look a few yrs younger, already, & my husband commented on how nice my skin is glowing! I only use it 2x a week in the pm right now, I cleanse, tone, then just swipe the product on, then moisturize. I'm definitely going to stock up on these to make sure I always have some on hand! I really like how it's AHA/BHA in one pad. I have sensitive combo skin & do just fine with these, just a very slight tingling afterwards. The scent is very citrusy but I don't mind it, at all, and the smell goes away pretty fast. I always suggest to others to wear sunscreen daily, but definitely MAKE SURE to wear sunscreen while using this product! This product will definitely make you more sensitive to the sun, so you'll need a good sunscreen to go along with it.

This is my first time using glycolic acid. First, I just wanna say that the box is way smaller than I expected..... very tiny like less than the palm of your hand. Second, the pads are not wet enough. I wish there was more product in the container to rewet the pads if needed. You might have to use 2 pads to feel like you even got enough product on your face. By the time I get to my forehead, the pad is always dry. Lastly, I will say I feel my skin is more exfoliated and softer but this concentration seems way too low for me since I don't have sensitive skin. But if you have very sensitive skin, I would recommend this as a starting point because it won't be too harsh. As for me, I'm going to go up to 10%. Overall, this product would work best for beginner glycolic acid users with very sensitive skin- if you have normal skin you can probably get away with starting out with a higher concentration, maybe 8-10%.

Love this product, it completely changed the texture and glow of my face. After using this product I began to put makeup on without a foundation and have been receiving compliments on how nice my skin looks. And the price is very reasonable!

This review is for the Nip+Fab Fix Night Pads Extreme: I was guilty of ignoring my skin for far too long. I was good about moisturizing, but terrible about cleansing. As a result, my skin looked tired: it was dull looking, and had enlarged pores and frequent blemishes. I decided to try this product and I am so glad I did! The appearance and texture of my skin has greatly improved with regular use. My skin texture is better and the color more even. I did go through a period of 'purge breakout' as the deeply embedded gunk rose to the surface with the increased cell turnover, but it was well worth going through that adjustment period of blemishes in order to flush out the 'buried' impurities. Now that I'm past that difficult phase my skin tone and texture is better than it has been in years, and rather than use heavy concealers and foundation, I'm able to use only tinted moisturizer on my skin, which in turn allows my 63 year old skin look better without the heavier products that tended to enhance my wrinkles (even though they did cover the blotchiness). It took patience and perseverance (and daily use) to achieve the desired result, but very well worth it. I just ordered the second container of pads, and will go through this container again with daily use, then think I should be good to go with every other day use from here forward. Hope your success will be equal to mine if you decide to try this product!

ottimo prodotto, lo sto usando tutti i giorni su viso e décolleté, ho un problema di brufoletti e piccole discromie della pelle ( leggere cmq non grosse discromie) devo dire che da quando lo uso ( 15 gg,) la mia pelle è visibilmente migliorata, grana più sottile, pelle più liscia, le discromie e i piccoli segnetti lasciati dai brufoli che avevo toccacciato sono quasi del tutto scomparsi. un valido aiuto al ricambio cellulare. resta un prodotto delicato sulla pelle. comodo xche i dischetti sono già pre-imbevuti di soluzione, e un dischetto basta tranquillamente per passare tutto il viso, collo e décolleté.

I have really dry skin so I wanted something to get rid of the dry patches. I had previously tried the glycolic fix scrub from the same range and really liked it, but I thought the pads might be quicker and more convenient. These are super strong, if I wipe my face once I feel a very slight tingle and it softens my skin up nicely, however the first time I really scrubbed at my whole face and my cheeks reacted really badly, it burned and took ages to heal so be careful not to overuse! However i also had a couple of those annoying under the skin spots on my forehead that normally make my skin bumpy and red and refuse to go for weeks, but the first time with these pads they magically healed and went away! Probably the saiylic acid. So basically, use these right and they are amazing :) they are a really good price, last ages, even out your skin tone and texture and generally brighten up your face. I want to explore the other nip fab products but I definitely see myself repurchasing these when I eventually run out. I recommend them highly!

Ne m'a pas irrité la peau malgré que j'ai une peau sensible. Ne décape pas la peau, juste une sensation de peau plus lisse et plus propre.

I love these pads so much. They have really helped even out my skin tone and exfoliate my skin in general. They smell like grapefruit, which I really love, and the package is so easy to use. I usually am very lazy and on certain days I forget steps from my skin routine. The versatility of this product means that I can use them whenever I want without any hassle. The price to quality ratio is great and I would absolutely recommend them to any girl in need of gentle exfoliation.

Très Déçue je m'attendais à plus de contenance pour le prix payé. C'est une Petite boîte avec de petits disques imbibés.
