Do you apply first thing before you put on anything else?  What results are you seeing?

@DowntonAbbey I use them in the morning only, and I use the DMAE/Alpha Lipoic Acid liquid duo that I got last year in the evening. So I'm not sure if my skin is doing an outstanding job because of the combo I was already using, the conformer I added, or the pads! LOL!  

I am almost finished with the liquid duo and have no more coming of them on auto delivery (thus the reason I purchased the pads), so then I will have a better idea of how well the pads are doing on their own. I'll be using just the pads in about one month's time. 

I have mixed feelings on the two DMAE products I'm using, because my common sense tells me that the liquid form of the duo would absorb better, but I do like the mess-free way of using the pads. I don't worry about spilling the stuff when I use the pads.

On the other hand, I'm not sure if I should be turning the jar of pads upside down first, to make sure the top pad is fully saturated. None of the pads so far have been overly wet, and maybe that's the way it should be. How 'bout you? Are the pads quite moist for you straight out of the jar?

I find that when I use the liquid duo at night, I also take it down to the chest area because it easily goes on. Whereas one pad gets pretty dry by the time I have finished with my face and neck area.

Hello thank you for responding. Well the DMAE pads are on the dry side for me.  I am not happy with that.  I did not think about turning it upside down but I don't think it will matter.  I wish they have more liquid.  I won't buy those again.  I did get todays special value but I wish his skin cream had spf in them because I wear them out without foundation yet my Armani Foundation does not have spf hich I don't like that.  I guess I should just go to the store and get some cheaper spf.  Caudalie SPF makes my face with touched have balls of the product on the face......I would like an spf that is easy to apply right before my makeup.  The armani spf is too expensive. I think $60

@DowntonAbbey Try flipping the container over about five minutes before using. I usually do it right before I get in the shower.

During this time of the year I switch to his Face Finishing Moisturizer Tint with SPF 30. Because I have fair skin, the slight tint in this cream is just enough to ensure I don't look like a frog that has just come out from under a rock after hibernation! LOL!!!

It gives me a nice glow/warmth. It is very moisturizing, so I use as little as possible or else my face can look too damp, if that makes sense. I just take a few dabs on two-three fingertips, pat it around the face, and then spread gently.

Thank you I will turn upside down as suggested.  Thank you.

I have used these since the previous tsv and see no enhanced results.

They are dry!!  I love them but will not buy more until they wet them down a bit more.  How cheap!!  By the end of jar, they are very dry!  I will just use perricone neuropeptide serum or toner.  I love perricone, but some things just irk me!  Ca those of you who found the jar dry write in?  I did before, and will do so again.  They are not exactly chump chnge, lol!

Have you tried Dr. Denese firming facial pads (QVC)? They are wonderful and I've used them for a number of years - they never dry out, and I cut them in half to make them last longer. The last 1/2 pad in the bottom of the jar is still totally moist. I tried Perricone a couple of years ago but didn't see much difference, plus the cost was just too much for me. Dr. Denese is more affordable for me, especially when I can cut them in half and have twice as many pads.
