Ingredient wise nothing jumps negatively at me. The reason they’re gentle is also clearly evident with first three ingredients being Aloe Leaf Juice, Water and Glycerin. Followed by Glycolic Acid and other fruit extracts.
Its wonderful if you’re starting with acids or need a gentle morning acid tone. Except my only gripe remains with the pads themselves. Whilst they are soft they don’t seem to be well soaked and by the time I bring the pad down to my jaw and neck its dry! This is seriously my pet peeve with peel pads.
The effects on skin are mildly noticeable on my acid addicted skin (I’m not the appropriate candidate to test this product), however someone who uses this product for the first time will notice a difference (so it has found a new home). It doesn’t dry out the skin at all, due to the wonderful addition of Aloe, Glycerin, Shea Butter (listed as 6th ingredient). I have not noticed any congestion with Shea Butter either.
If you’d like something more punchier at same price point of $14.95, look into Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Extreme with a base of Glycolic and blended with Salicylic, Lactic and Hyaluronic acid.
