Yes, I use them in place of a toner. Not harsh for my 63 year old skin which has acne scars, is oily, and still had some breakouts. On sale where?

I haven't used those but another brand with same type of active ingredients...10% glycolic + 2% salicylic. That combo in those strengths is just right. That's a great price for the PTR pads and you get 90!

ETA - TopCashBack has 8% rebate for his website now.

@MrsCat21 FYI, if a product is on sale for such an extremely low price, it's most likely going to be replaced with a "new and improved' one. You may want to purchase extra or wait to see if new pads come out.

Well, i was going to order until I saw $9.95 shipping. Pass for me.

@MrsCat21

Even with that shipping you'd still be saving a lot and it doesn't matter how many you add to your cart, it's still 9.95.

I always liked his original pads with glycolic, but he discontinued them. I haven't tried these. I prefer a mix of glycolic with other helpful ingredients. Please post back if your opinions on these pads.

I just looked on amazon for glycolic acid treatment pads and they have the Glycolix brand for really good prices. I was surprized at the low prices.

They have all three strengths...10%, 15% and 20%. It's listed under this title:

Glycolix Elite Glycolic Acid Treatment Pads, 60 Count

Hi, @SilleeMee , It's me again . Which of these strengths would be appropriate to use in conjunction with Retin A use? I am using the RA nightly with little to no flaking now. I wondered if adding in these pads in the morning and then using my SPF for the day would be okay and then continue the RA at night . Do I need to use GA on a day of it's own? Also do you rinse off the residue of the pad or just let it dry down and go on with spf or whatever?

One other quick ? What actually does GA add to any results I may see? Would VC, niacinamide, feruluic sp? be more beneficial or do I need all of them........oh my! LOL

TIA

I'm using RA 6/7 nights a week. On the night off RA I use a 30% GA peel (The Ordinary). I do that peel to get my skin well exfoliated. Using RA put the brakes on for me using a nightly (10 to 20%). I couldn't work the GA into my daily daytime routine either. But you can still use a daily daytime lo-strength GA treatment if you'd like to get more glow to your skin. But I wouldn't not layer it under sunscreen or with other acids such as vitamin C or ferulic. GA at lower strengths such as 10% to 20% (depending on your skin) works best when left on the skin, no rinsing.

So, I’ve kinda gotten away from consistently using a glycolic product. I’ve adjusted my routine in order to get it back in. I ordered Alpha Skincare’s 10% lotion moisturizer to use in the AM but I also wanted a pad. I found a 5% glycolic acid pad on Amazon with a mix of glycolic, salicylic, and lactic. It’s called N*I*P & Fab Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme. I’m still waiting for the moisturizer to arrive but have been using the pads for a few days. Even though they are low strength they seem to fit the bill.
