GENTLE EXFOLIATION WITH MILD GLUCONOLACTONE, BUT NO LESS EFFECTIVE ~ MY SENSITIVE SKIN LOVES IT
Before you get too excited about NEOSTRATA PHA Renewal Face Pads, with Gluconolactone, Green Tea and Cucumber Extracts, think about what you want from these pads. At 4% Gluconolactone PHA, the formula is very much on the mild side for GENTLE EXFOLIATION. This is good for many reasons, but especially for sensitive skin. Gluconolactone has anti-oxidant and exfoliating properties that dissolve dead skin cells, improve the appearance of fine lines and discoloration, and can help remove excess oil from skin. Because the molecules in gluconolactone are larger than other acids, they don't penetrate the skin as deeply, which lessens the likelihood of redness and flaking after use. There should be no irritation or dryness, and the addition of Green Tea and Cucumber is both tightening and soothing. However, be cautious using the pads on rosacea or atopic dermatitis. These pads will definitely give skin a brighter appearance and improvement of skin texture. Gluconolactone is naturally produced by animals but can also be produced from corn. NOTE: Gluconolactone is chemically and functionally similar to AHAs (such as glycolic acid), but Glycolic Acid is a small molecule that penetrates skin very deeply and can cause skin irritation, while Gluconolactone does not. For Gluconolactone to be effective for exfoliation, it needs to be between 7% and 12%. These pads are only 4%, which is almost half the lowest effective percentage. Don't expect the same results of formulas with a higher %, but this lower one will still be effective. Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide products can be used safely with Gluconolactone. I've been a recent devotee of AHA, BHA, and PHA products, where previously I was all about Retinol. Now I use them both, but not at the same time and for very different reasons. Exfoliation, resurfacing, and even skin tone vs. wrinkle treatment. No matter what percentage of AHA, BHA, or PHA you use, always wear sunscreen for outdoor protection. And even though PHA is gentler than the other two, it's best to start out by alternating use 3 non-consecutive days a week and gradually increase usage if desired, AND YES IT CAN BE USED EVERY DAY IF TOLERATED. IF PREGNANT OR LACTATING, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE USE

Great product, to expensive
These were great and I believe made a difference in the texture of my skin. Purchased on sale, but too expensive to buy again.

Wow!!
These weren't what I was expecting. I see exfoliating and think of those harsh alcohol pads that are rough and tend to strip the skin. I knew these were moisturizing, but I had some homework to do. I found that PHA exfoliants are a gentler cousin of alpha-hydroxy that is more moisturizing, less irritating, and take a little more time to exfoliate. While AHA would do better to quickly exfoliate my dryness, they would be more irritating with my sensitive skin and rosacea. I was ready to dive in. These were surprisingly thin, I expected them to dry out but they didn't, I even use them on my neck when I'm done with my face. They can be a little hard to pull out individually. They leave a sticky film at first, that goes away after a few minutes. I think that's the exfoliant starting to do its work on those dead skin cells and makes sense with what I've read about PHA taking longer than AHA to exfoliate. I wouldn't use these right before makeup, but I did try a few hours before putting on makeup once and it helped it go on more smoothly. Now I just use them nightly before bed. I spend a lot less time fighting with makeup and flaky skin since I started using these, trying to get everything to blend properly. My skin also feels less dry, maybe a little tighter but not at all in the same way as when it's really dry. These do not irritate my sensitive skin at all. These are a huge time saver for when I do get out and they improve the overall quality of my skin. I will definitely use the remaining product, and might have to start rationing. I don't generally spend as much on a skincare product but these have me seriously reconsidering that. I would definitely recommend them for people with dry skin and sensitive skin, and if they give you problems applying makeup, especially daily. These are a big time saver and they gave me quick results as soon as I started using them.

Super Nice Toner Pads
NEOSTRATA PHA Renewal Face Pads, I have been using these pads at night after washing my face. I use the embossed side first to remove any dirt that didn't come off from washing and then the smooth side to push the ingredients into my skin. I wait until this has sunk into my skin and then apply a serum. I don't use these every night because I have dry, sensitive skin but usually every 3 days. These have really helped gently resurface my skin and I think they help to remove any dead skin cells and increase the turnover of the cells. My skin is a lot smoother and hydrated since using these.

Love it
My skin is very dry from using a regimen of ZIO products. I use one pad after cleansing and my skin looks and feels great. Hydrates the dry flaking skin.

Gentle Effective Exfoliation
I try out a lot of skin products and had not heard of PHA. So when I saw this Neostrata product contained PHA I was intrigued. I did a little research and discovered PHA is the cousin of other acids with less possibility of irritation. It is a larger molecule. So it penetrates superficially. And while still exfoliating it tends not to be problematic for sensitive skin types. Yes, Iโm looking at you rosacea. Those with eczema, rosacea and other skin issues are likely to tolerate it better. The pads are small. A lot smaller than some I have tried. Yet there was enough product to wipe my face carefully with. After application I did not notice any redness but my skin did feel tight. I would suggest easing into this just like other actives. I ran the ingredients list through a cosmetics checker and it scored a 1 for potential comedogenic ingredients and a 2 for potential fungal acne ingredients so that is very good. I think this is a really nice way for sensitive skin to exfoliate. And I look forward to seeing the results over time.
