Excellent
I cannot live without this, trust me I even tried and I went back instantly. These help prevent breakouts from forming and keep my oily t-zone in check. It feels so refreshing to use as well, especially after a day of wearing makeup!
I’m in my 40’s, and I would still get acne once a month during my cycle. I have been using the Acne Treatment pads for two years now, and I no longer get acne. I use then once a day in combination with my other ZO skin care. I love them and I always replace them when I’m out. A staple for me!
This is one of the products I cannot live without. I’ve tried looking for dupes but they just aren’t the same. These pads leave my face refreshed, never tight, and always zaps breakouts before they have a chance to get bad and enflamed. One of my favorite products!
I have oily skin, am in my mid 40’s and have occasional outbreaks of adult acne on my chin and back and these pads seem to work by keeping the skin clean without irritating it and causing more breakouts, redness or extra dryness.
