Pros: Gentle, Leaves Clean Feel, Not Greasy

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Bottom Line: recommended

Great introduction to 'skin care' for my 11 year old daughter... I love that it is NOT chemical based. She is happy with this product. A national brand product that she wanted and used because "all my friends use it," irritated her skin and she stopped using it.

Nice for scrubbing, but ALCOHOL

by VVenus

Pros: Exfoliates, Leaves Clean Feel, Neat, Not Greasy

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Oily Skin

Cons: Bad Smell, Dries Out Skin

Bottom Line: not recommended

I read the reviews and thought it would be a great product. I'm using a Rx acne roduct and can't use my Benzoyl Peroxide based Proactiv. I opened these up and DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME the smell of alcohol (and witch hazel) is OVERWHELMING. I guess I didn't read enough about it. I didn't even think that would BE an ingredient. It works ok, drying. The best part, the reason I got them, was for the scrubbing pads. You can't just buy those buy themselves easily. I wanted something all natural AND I got a great deal at a natural store. Will keep using, but have to RUN UNDER WATER several times and breath through mouth while using. Then I rinse off my face too. Haven't noticed anything too bad as far as reaction.

Just good

Not so good

Gave them a second chance and glad I did

Pros: Balances Skin, Leaves Clean Feel, Not Greasy

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Best Uses: Combination Skin, Oily Skin

Cons: Dries Out Skin

Bottom Line: recommended

At first I thought these were too harsh for my oily/acne-prone/ sensitive skin. They were a little irritating and drying. Plus, I don't trust any products that contain alcohol (one of the worst ingredients you can put on your face.) But, I realized I was using the cleansing pads incorrectly. I only use them at night now, once or twice a week to remove excessive oil, dirt, and make-up residue. I had overlooked that the directions said to *rinse with cool water* when you're finished. That made all the difference in the world. This is a great product to give you that sqeeky-clean feeling. They are great on camping trips and when traveling when you don't have access to water. The natural oils in this product are known for their anti-bacterial properties. The smell of Tea Tree is a little overwhelming at first but you get used to it.

Powerful Stuff

by P. Stephens [Verified Reviewer]

in Missoula, MT on 11/8/09

Pros: Improves Skin Texture, Leaves Clean Feel, Not Greasy

Best Uses: Oily Skin

Cons: Strong Odor

Bottom Line: recommended

I have very oily, moderately acne-prone skin. It also tends toward redness and sensitivity. I have been using these pads once a day for several weeks now. They have reduced my acne and softened the texture of my skin. The pads have a rough, exfoliating texture. I do avoid my cheeks, which are prone to redness and dryness. The only drawback for me is that the smell is overwhelmingly powerful at first.

Fab!

Pros: Balances Skin, Improves Skin Texture, Leaves Clean Feel, Not Greasy

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: All Skin Types, Combination Skin, Daily Use, Oily Skin

Bottom Line: recommended

I have combo skin; oily on forehead and normal on the rest. This really balances that out. Very refreshing! I use this every night and sometimes in the morning as well.

Great for Stinky feet!

by rmc

Pros: Leaves Clean Feel, Not Greasy

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Feet

Cons: Strong Smell

Bottom Line: recommended

This product is GREAT for stinky feet! My husband has always had stinky feet. He has been using Tea Tree oil for years to combat this problem. These facial pads are extremely easy to use and they work GREAT! Just a swipe when he gets out of the shower and voila! No stinky feet all day! If he forgets in the am, then just a swipe in the eve gets rid of the stink pronto! We've even given them to my nephew who is 11 and is always running around in stinky sneakers and they have made a world of difference!!

Love this product!!

Pros: Balances Skin, Gentle, Improves Skin Texture, Leaves Clean Feel, Moisturizing, Not Greasy

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Combination Skin, Daily Use, Oily Skin, Sensitive Skin

Bottom Line: recommended

I use this product everyday more than once. The smell is a little intense, but only for a second or two. This has helped clear up my mild (middle aged) acne. I love the smooth look and feel of my new face!

IT'S TEA TREE OIL....

by MO2K7US [Verified Reviewer]

in Rhode Island on 6/1/09

Pros: Balances Skin, Improves Skin Texture, Leaves Clean Feel

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: All Skin Types

Bottom Line: recommended

Anyone who has ever used Tea Tree Oil knows it has a strong scent. If you haven't then you now know! This product works great and is great for exfoliation. You are supposed to RINSE your face after applying so the smell shouldn't be that bothersome. This product has helped me with my acne as it keeps your skin's oils in check. I only use it every other day and have had no irritation. Again iti is meant as an exfolient that is why the pads are rough on one side and not so rough on the other.

Cleanse face with Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash. Use one or two pads to gently cleanse face, paying special attention to oily areas and avoiding eye areas. Rinse with cool water and moisturize with Desert Essence Jojoba Moisture Cream.
