Let me start by saying these little pads are a game-changer for my skincare routine. As someone with combination skin that leans dry, finding an exfoliator that doesn't leave me feeling like a desert has been tough. These pads strike the perfect balance - they're gentle yet effective.

The texture is perfect - not too wet, not too dry. I love that I can use one side in the morning and flip it for evening use (though I usually use a fresh one at night). After just one week, my makeup was applying smoother than ever. No more cakey foundation around dry patches!

Now for the not-so-perfect parts: The price point stings a bit for only 28 pads. I wish they came in a larger quantity option. Also, that slight tacky feeling some reviewers mentioned? It's real, but disappears once I apply my moisturizer. Pro tip: wait 10 minutes after using the pad before moisturizing for best results.

For anyone worried about sensitivity - I had zero irritation, but definitely do a patch test first. My friend with rosacea didn't have luck with these, so sensitive skin folks proceed with caution. But for most people? These deliver that coveted 'glow' without the harshness of other acid exfoliators.
