Glycolic Night Pads Extreme XXL

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.

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.

its really hard to write a review on certain things especially when it comes to wipes etc. I will say this I have read some reviews that almost stopped me from buying but I went with my gut and purchased anyway. The scent is a light citrus and the pads are wet. I have read reviews that they said they were dry. So, I make an effort to grab the pad and seal the container tightly to avoid drying out. (There's enough solution but not extreme like for example a clorox wipe container where it's half full/just as a reference so you know what i mean). My skin looks good but I am using a few other serums so sometimes it's hard to pin point. I have no complaints. For $10 and you have 2 months worth of night time pads, what have you got to loose?? I also get a slight tingle which for me I know its doing something rather than nothing. Does not dry my skin, does not leave redness. Its good I will continue to use this product.

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!

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.

So I’ve been purchasing these for a while. I used to buy them from Ulta back in the day and then I found them on Amazon. They work great. They are gentle and really effective and last quite a bit. HOWEVER the reason I’m giving it 3 stars is because when I bought them they were $15.91. That’s WITH TAX. Now, they are selling for $28. The same pads, the same quantity, same everything. Though I think they could have been at $20 and still have some integrity…$28??? Are you serious? Nothing in the package or formula has changed. I use other products with the same ingredients (just different products) from Dermalogica that have not gone up in price, and they are a dermatologist developed and esthetician professional line. I think it’s taking advantage of their loyal customers, and it’s really sad to see a company do this. Even their smaller quantity pads went up in price. I would love to see them drop the price to a something a little more understandable, but doubling the price in under 2 years is a little ridiculous. You usually don’t see an increase like that even with inflation over the period of 5 years.

This is a great product. I have a subscription to it because I use it daily and love it. It’s a great first step (after cleansing) and preps my skin to the proper pH to make my Vitamin C serum more effective.

Absolutely awesome product! This on top of my usual regimen of wash, tone and moisturize ( I use Mary Kay or Origins usually) has completely cleared up my adult acne! I developed a large amount of blackheads, small pimples and large cyst-like pimples around my jaw and neckline after my hysterectomy and nothing would clear it up. I've literally spent hundreds of dollars on every product I could find and this is the only one that has worked. It's not an overnight miracle, but if used daily (every single day) for weeks, it will definitely show progress. I'm half way through my second container, so if there is 60 per container, then I've used approximately 90...so after three months of continued usage my skin is completely clear! It doesn't burn or irritate my sensitive skin at all. I use it after my toner and before my moisturizer every single night. I wait just a couple minutes for it to dry before applying my moisturizer. I will continue to buy this product as I love it! It actually works!!!!

Didn’t see much difference

Ottimo prodotto

Lo uso tutte le sere, trovo molto comodo il fatto che sia solo da aprire ed usare, io non mi trucco di solito, quindi la sera non uso prodotti struccanti e di certo non mi lavo con detergenti e quant'altro, ma il prodotto funziona anche se io salto il passaggio "pulizia profonda" pre applicazione. Ho 45 anni, pori dilatati e molti, moltissimi punti neri ... in appena 3 settimane i miei punti neri sono diminuiti del 70% e i pori sono un pò meno evidenti, la pelle è più luminosa, più morbida ed elastica al tatto, anche le rughe sembrano essersi affievolite. abbino (quando mi ricordo :-P) un siero giornaliero all'acido ialuronico di altra marca. Comunque lo consiglio io ne ho comprato un altro.

Love the product
