Stridex Medicated Acne Pads Sensitive, 3-Pack of 90 — 0.5% Salicylic Acid, Alcohol-Free Soothing Pads

Stridex Sensitive Medicated Acne Pads are pre-soaked facial pads with 0.5% salicylic acid and soothing ingredients designed to gently cleanse, help unclog pores, and reduce mild to moderate acne without alcohol irritation.

These alcohol-free wipes combine a mild concentration of salicylic acid with skin-soothing agents such as aloe to remove dirt, oil, and residue left by cleansers while working to dissolve pore-clogging oil. Each pack contains 90 textured pads and this listing is for a three-pack, giving extended supply for daily use on dry or easily irritated skin. The pads are formulated to be gentle yet effective, letting the medication continue to work between uses to support clearer-looking skin.

How do these pads fit into a daily skincare routine?

Use Stridex Sensitive Pads after cleansing and patting the face dry. Apply a single pad in a thin layer over affected areas once daily, increasing to two or three times daily if your skin tolerates it or as directed by a healthcare professional.

• Cleanse face first to remove surface dirt and makeup.
• Swipe pad across the affected area; no rinsing required.
• Start once daily, then adjust frequency based on tolerance.

What active ingredients and soothing components are included?

The active ingredient is 0.5% salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid that penetrates pores to help dissolve oil and loosen debris. The formula also contains calming agents like aloe to reduce irritation and is entirely free of alcohol to avoid the stinging and dryness that some acne products cause.

• 0.5% salicylic acid targets clogged pores and blackheads.
• Aloe and skin soothers help maintain moisture and comfort.
• Alcohol-free formulation minimizes burning and redness.

How should I use them safely and what results can I expect?

Follow usage directions on the package: apply to clean skin and wash hands after use. Results vary by individual, but consistent use can reduce the number of pimples and blackheads while helping the skin recover; discontinue if severe irritation occurs and consult a professional if needed.

• Apply thin layer; avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
• Monitor skin for irritation; reduce frequency if dryness occurs.
• If you experience severe redness or swelling, stop use and seek advice.

Can these pads replace other acne treatments or cleansers?

Stridex Sensitive Pads are intended as an adjunct or alternative to leave-on acne treatments for mild to moderate cases, not necessarily a substitute for prescription medication. They remove residue left by cleansers and provide medicated, ongoing pore care, but a dermatologist can advise on combining them with other therapies.

• Works well alongside gentle cleansers and moisturizers.
• Not a replacement for prescription regimens without professional guidance.
• Good option for those seeking alcohol-free, daily medicated care.

Who is this for: Stridex Sensitive Medicated Acne Pads are suited for people with dry, easily irritated, or sensitive skin who need a mild but continuous acne treatment. They are especially useful for those wanting an alcohol-free option that cleanses, helps unclog pores, and supports clearer-looking skin with minimal sting. If your acne is severe or your skin reacts strongly, consult a dermatologist before starting a new regimen.
