Most Helpful Positive Review Works quickly and effectively - game changer for me! Preface: I believe my acne is almost entirely stress related. I'm in my mid-30s and live in the 'burbs.
Over the winter I started getting very bad acne on and below my jawline and onto my neck; something I had never experienced before. My skin care routine had not changed and I had not added any new products. It was embarrassing and painful. I went to the derm and got some medication which did nothing. I tried the PTR acne dots and had good luck with those so I thought I'd try these pads. I used them once at night after washing my face before bed. Talk about a quick fix! My skin started clearing up almost overnight. I ran out of the pads and didn't buy more since my skin was looking good and POOF the acne came back. After figuring out that the only change had been these pads, I ran to the store and bought more. Now my skin is clear again!
I have combo skin that can REALLY take abuse: scrubs, peels, masks, whatever. These do make my skin tingle during application in a "I'm getting irritated" way, but I let it dry and it quickly passes. I probably would not recommend these for someone with sensitive or dry skin, but since I don't have either, I can't say for sure. They smell like a medicated pad to me, but who cares? My skin cleared up!
Most Helpful Critical Review Extremely drying i got this product to clear up the few blackheads and cystic pimple i had on my face, i had read great reviews about it, so i was optimistic. this product is a total fail. it dried me out, to the point my face was peeling and this was only after 3 days of once a day use.
i used the pads at night before i go to bed, it stings a little, but i am okay with it, because i feel like its working. when i woke up the next morning, my forehead had an oil slick to it, like someone rubbed crisco on it.
from my research,if a product over dries your skin, your skin compensates by producing more oils which would lead to breakouts.
i even used a moisturizer after to help with the drying. this product is not for me.

I've been using this product for YEARS! I cut the pads in half to make them last longer. I'm in my 40's and constantly pass for early 30's. It brightens my skin and makes me look fresh and less oily. I use it at night and follow with a rich moisturizer. I can't live without it! Lol
Obsessed 5
Tanzi from Long Island, NY
I am on my 3rd container of these! I work in a medical office and due to COVID have a mask on while in the office. This has been helping with the dreaded maskne! I love this and would highly recommend. I already got a few of the others in my office on this too!
So good if use right and consistently 5
Glamhunter from New York
This makes your pores look smaller, your skin look smoother and glowy. Over time it makes marks and blemishes go away. I wish I used tris when I was a teen. It does dry you out so you have to build up to how often you use it, or maybe doesn't matter since Its the mask era it doesn't matter.
Excellent for my SUPER oily skin! 4
Lacy from Orlando, FL
I decided to try these out after I started developing hormonal acne from stopping my birth control. I have the oiliest skin of anyone I know AND I live in Florida so my face is basically a swamp. I honestly didn't have much hope, but I was pleasantly surprised!
These REALLY made my face feel squeaky clean after washing and I haven't had any irritation or dryness. I did swap out my previous toner for these so I'm not over drying and I use both hyaluronic acid and a night moisturizer after. After a few weeks of using them, I have found that I'm breaking out significantly less and when I do break out, it doesn't last nearly as long. My pores also appear tighter and my skin looks like it glows now!!!
The only con I personally have (and why I didn't give 5 stars) is they have SO much peach scent to them that it makes my eyes water. They don't smell bad the just smell intense. If I could buy a half scented one, I would.
Made my skin worse 2
MariBoo96 from Joplin,MO
Made my skin super dry. Made my skin peel and burn.
Really Works 5
Ndgo from Orlando
Love these pads. Haven't
had any blemishes dare to break out. I had 1 that tried and it didn' last a whole day. Noticible difference in my complexion after only 1 month. Wish they were still on sale. I would have stocked up.
Made me break out horribly 1
CG from NJ
I have combination/oily dark skin and in my late 20's. I developed hormonal/stress induced acne along my jawline and hoped that this would help me avoid spending $58 on the Kate Somerville liquid exfoliant (I got this when it was on sale) since I wanted to improve the texture of my skin too (as this claimed to do). After one use I broke out like crazy, acne all along my cheek that was inflamed so I had to return it.
The best! 5
KT from Cuyahoga Falls
I just love these wipes. They are so easy to use after you wash your face and they get your face extra clean. I even wipe the tops of my hands after my face. This is my second order of these pads and I will continue to buy.
Amazing!! 5
Sarah from Washington DC
I was having constant annoying breakouts from wearing my mask and using these day and night has transformed my skin. It looks so much healthier and my breakouts don't last nearly as long when they do appear. Pair with a vitamin c serum at night for double the brightening action!! Will be repurchasing again and again.
You have to use it right for it to do its magic 5
Nikki from New Jersey
This is my second time purchasing. My first purchase I was a little iffy about it because I used its everyday sometimes twice a day and I dried my skin to the max out and was purging like crazy. Which actually was good to purge because I got all the hidden acne out. After a while I switched to every three days or on the nights I just took off heavy makeup to clean my pores thoroughly. The smell is EXTREMELY strong but I can do with that. The feeling after using it is addicting and I want to use the entire bottle. If you stick with it after your initial purge and use it only a few times a week you'll love it. Do not dry your skin out using these as it has alcohol in it. Use it and then moisturize
My skin has never been better! 5
Katie from Maine
I have been using this product consistently for over 6 months and have noticed a significant improvement in my skins clarity and tone! I have less blemishes and my complexion is stunning! It is a little harsh when you first start using the pads, but ease into it and see all the wonderful benefits!
Highly recommend 4
Chelsea from Lexington, KY
I am in my mid twenties and have combination skin that is prone to breakouts. This product helped clear up a recent breakout within 1 week of using each night without over drying my skin. This product is an easy step to add to your skin care routine after washing your face when struggling with acne prone skin. I will be continuing to use this product to help manage and reduce likelihood of future breakouts.
Amazing! 5

Makes my pores disappear and I now get complimented on my skin every day. You'll see the difference in one use
Really Works! 5

I bought this for my daughter. She's been using it for a week and we can really see a difference.
amazed 5
veronica from lakewood, ca
i am absolutely amazed at how fast i saw improvement. i have the most oily skin anyone could ever imagine. and after ONE USE, i woke up with no shine!! i finally found something that helps with my oil and it made my acne go down so much. PLUS one huge pimple on my chin went away with just two uses. i was scared of the price but honestly so worth it. i hope they don't ever discontinue this product.
Canceled my Dermatologist 5
Lifetime Sufferer from Louisiana
I have literally tried everything. Acne so bad this year, actually called in sick to work bc it HURT to wear makeup. 6 month flare up. Saw a different in a couple of days. Cleans, smells good, some dryness at first, but gets better after about a week. Then no real Cons. Can't go without it! Canceled my dermatologist appt it worked so well.
Buy this every two months!!! 5
pajamabottoms from Colorado
I bought these pads for my sixteen year old son. We live in a very dry climate but he still gets normal teenage acne. These pads are great. They are easy to use and not messy, perfect for a teenage boy. His skin does not get too dried out like it does using traditional topical acne meds. I have to remind him how important it is to wear sunscreen when using this product, and because it works so well, he is willing to wear sunscreen now, too! Highly recommended, his skin is clear and bright.
AMAZING 5
Kayla from Illinois
I've spent so much money on acne products and NEVER have I seen results overnight-within 2 days. This clears up all of my pimples and even the really hurtful ones that are under the skin. I know these are pricey but they work WONDERS. I will definitely buy them again.
Made me breakout 1
lex from Sacramento, CA
This made my skin horrible. I used to have super clear skin and wanted to try these exfoliating pads for when i had breakouts now and then, but i immediately saw i had broken out all over my cheek. that had been the first time had ever gotten acne on my cheek. 6months later, i still have the acne and poor texture on my cheek and my pores are bigger than ever.
First product I've reordered 5
Very pale ginger from Bay Area, CA
I have horrible skin and can never find a product that gets rid of my acne without my skin scaling like a reptile. I got these in an acne cleanser set to try, and immediately ordered the full size version. My skin is clearer than it been in years and not dried out, and I've noticed my forehead lines shrinking. I use one right when I wake up and then after I clean off my makeup before bed.
great product 5
TLight from Los Angeles, CA
These are excellent for exfoliation once or twice a week. I let it sit for 30 seconds and then rinse. You dont want to leave it on your skin. I have very sensitive and dry skin and I do very well with them, which is a rare occurrence for me, as I have trouble using so many products.
Burning & stinging 3
J from Carrollton
These smell really strong and burn my eyes and nose. They do a good job of getting rid of dirt & cleaning the skin but I don't notice pimples going away soon after using these. I also feel like this product has in a way burned my skin since my face is so red for the days following. I wouldn't repurchase this for the price point and the harshness of the product overall and am going to stick to the First Aid Beauty pads instead.
The best thing I have found for acne 5
Carrie D 8585 from Houston
I have recently started breaking out on my chin and I had been trying everything! When I started using these my face immediately started clearing up, because of the cost I try to not use these every day, but when I don't my breakouts return. So yes I know they are expensive, but nothing works as well as these pads!
Love these! 5
Ashley from MN
used to have bad cystic acne and these really helped. got my sister using them and she also loves them. Does a great job at clearing the skin without irritation. Just a warning they have a strong scent that can be off putting and are very saturated. push through it the results are worth it.
Love this Product 5
CFS from Maryland
I am 56 and somehow still suffer from breakouts. This product has kept my skin clear. Love Peter Thomas Roth products.
