Exfoliating Pads

JudyL — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 21:43:17 GMT

I know this has been talked about a lot so am sorry to bring it up again. I would like a recommendation for an exfoliating pad.

Here is my wish list: has salicylic acid, don't have to wait after using before continuing with skin care, and pads not too small. The really small ones don't work well.

Here are the ones I've tried that didn't work for me:

Nassif - using the Original now and don't feel it's enough. Like the size of the pad.

SKINN - the pads were ok - the waiting 15-20 minutes after use before continuining with skin care is not going to work for me.

QRX Labs - the pads were way too small and difficult to use. Also they were very rough and uncomfortalble. A big no.

Medicube - Think thats the right name. Very low salicylic acid and not what I was looking for.

PTR - His pads contain retinol and I do not want that in my exfoliating pads.

Have no interest in making my own so thats not an option.

Anyone have a favoite pad that is not listed above? Thanks!

NO SURPRISE JudyL, BUT I REALLY LIKE LANCER'S GENTLE PEEL PADS.

THEY ARE INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED AND ARE A GREAT DEAL AS TWO BOXES OF 45 PADS ARE PRICED AT $44.98.

THEY DO NOT CONTAIN RETINOL, BUT CONTAIN BAKUCHIOL AND LACTIC ACID.

HOPE YOU FIND ONE YOU LIKE!!!!

I used to use a brand of pads called Replenix (formerly Glycolix or Topix). They make three different combinations of AHA/BHA pads.

- 10% glycolic / 2% salic.

- 5% glycolic / 2% salic

- 2% gylcolic / 2% salic

They also make pads with either all glycolic or all salicylic in different concentrations.

Amazon or Skinmedix carries them.

I use the brand TOUCH on Amazon. All vegan, all clean. I never buy beauty from Q or HSN . Over priced, not clean.

@ellaphant

Does the TOUCH brand make a salicylic version? I only see the glycolic ones.

@SilleeMee - Thank you! You're the best! Some Replenix pads will be at my house on Saturday. The brand name sounds very familiar. Wondering if I've heard of it somewhere else or maybe you've mentioned them before.

I use lots of Pacifica, both skin care and hair care and makeup. Get good sale prices at IHerb and Vitacost and ebay.

I am still in favor of Dr Nassif, I find them to be very effective.

You're welcome @JudyL

It may have been me who mentioned the brand before. It's been a while.

@FLGators - Thank you! Will add to the list. Like to have a few choices on my wish list just in case something doesn't work out or I want to try something new.

I use the Nassif pads but don't rely on them alone for exfoliation. For me, they're assurance that my face is thoroughly cleansed and nothing is left behind.

Before on started making my own, I was using Dr. Denese pads. I did that for years.

The Maree glycolic pads on Amazon gets good reviews.

Re: Exfoliating Pads

OP is looking for pads with salicylic in them.

@JudyL Have you ever tried Stridex pads? I don't currently use them but I have in the past. They are gentle, effective and a good size. I only used them once or twice a week.
