About this item
- FACE WIPE ACNE TREATMENT: Stridex Maximum Pads are an easy way to treat acne and prevent new acne from forming. Stridex reduces the number of pimples, blackheads, and allows the skin to heal.
- FACIAL CLEANSING WIPES: Each acne face pad is specially textured for great cleansing with a great feel whether you want scrubbing or smooth, soft application. They contain 2% salicylic acid, the highest level of acne-fighting medication allowed.
- ALCOHOL FREE FACE PADS: All Stridex pad formulas are completely alcohol-free, so you get proven acne-fighting effectiveness without the skin-irritating burn and redness alcohol-based formulas can cause for some users.
- RECOMMENDED USE: Acne pads are recommended for those with moderate acne. Skin cleansers work to remove dirt, oil, sweat and impurities from the skin, penetrate to unclog pores, and dissolve deep down oil.
- QUICK & EASY TO USE: Clean the skin, then use the pad to cover the entire affected area with a thin layer. Start with one application daily then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or directed by a doctor. Wash hands after use.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Within a day of using these (just a light sweep over my face in the shower a few minutes before scrubbing my face with Purpose soap), the blemish I have been fighting with for the past three weeks DRIED UP and went away. In addition, my skin isn't nearly as oily in the late afternoons as it was.
I was worried that these pads might be too drying for my skin, but so far that hasn't been a problem at all. Again, I do wash my face a few minutes *after* I use the pad. The pad makes me skin tingle and it's almost a relief to wash that off, so those with extremely sensitive skin might want to consider that.
Also, the pads are tiny and thin. I usually have to use two to cover my entire face thoroughly. But still, they seem to be working well, and they are a great price.
Highly recommended.
So, I've had legs that have looked like something out of horror movie for a looooong time. I was actually pretty hopeless that I'd ever be able to show them (I wore/wear pants in the dead of Summer. No joke), so when I read about people who'd recommended Stridex pads for fixing the ingrown hair and razor burn that accompanies those disgusting ingrown hairs, I honestly thought, "There is NO way that is going to work for ME. Not with my legs." Well, with nothing to lose but 11 bucks, I ordered. I did what was suggested, exfoliated (with a salux cloth), then shaved, and after the shower, I rubbed my legs down with the Stridex pads and applied some thick lotion (in this case, Vanicream) and waited.
Well, I'm happy to report that I really didn't have to wait very long! I've been doing this for about two months, and within the first week, I noticed a HUGE difference in my legs. The hairs...they were actually...getting through my skin! And the bumps were...lessening! What sorcery is this???!!!
If, by chance, you've come here because you were on the same message boards as I was, and you thought, like me, that nothing would work, then please be assured that there's hope!!! NO ONE had legs that looked as bad as mine, and after using the Stridex (and I know Stridex pads are the magic here, because the other two things didn't have the same effect) I'm actually contemplating wearing shorts this Summer! Well, I still need a little leg make-up because my legs were a truly scarred nightmare, but I can honestly say that I they are steadily improving and I think with continued use they'll be somewhat normal in a few months.
After more than a month of using, I can say that my acne is gone and the dryness is also gone. I only use this once-a-day the most, and I also think my skin developed a sort of immunity to it, I guess? Because I no longer feel the burning sensation when using it either. So if you're having reactions to this, I recommend sticking it out but cutting back! Good luck!
