Completely changed my skin

I received this, for the first time, as a gift from my daughter for Christmas. The difference I saw in just the first month made me a believer. My dry, dull skin suddenly came alive. People always comment on my glow, and for the first time in 59 years, I do not hesitate to go out without makeup on.

Not the same product

Not the same product as the old version. They completely removed some ingredients and moved some up and down the list. For those that might not know, the ingredients that appear first in the list are what the product contains most of. It's not about "Retailer Clean Standards" It's about cutting costs. Green tea, feverfew, and licorice root extracts are all clean botanical ingredients. No reason to remove them for "Retailer Clean Standards". It just reduces their need to keep these raw materials on hand.

Malodorous

Came in my Ipsy order. The smell is horrific. It’s not a harsh chemical smell or perfume-y, it smells like something is rotting. I’d say it smells like cheese but that would be an insult to cheese.

Not the Same!

I’ve been loyal buyer of this product for the last five years. I have recommended it to others and bought as presents for family. I will not be doing so anymore. It's not just a new look, it is also NOT the same formula. The previous formulation actually gently exfoliated and gave a nice glow to the skin. In a lot of cases it actually calmed irritation. This new formula not only doesn’t do a good job of exfoliating, but it also causes MORE irritation and dries out the skin. Not good for sensitive skin. I will not be repurchasing.

Not the same formula in the new packaging.

“The same” formula caused my skin to be red and dry like sandpaper. I have used 2 of these pads every single morning and night for years. The very first time I used one, I noticed the difference. Disappointed in the false claim they haven’t changed formulas, and disappointed in the new formula.

New formula is NOT the same

I am SO upset that they changed the ingredients in the facial radiance pads. They claim it's a "new look same formula" but the ingredient lists from their own site clearly show the change. The new pads don't have the good stuff like licorice root extract, camellia sinensis extract, or chamomile extract, and have added citric acid and other preservatives. These were my HG and I have super sensitive skin so it's really difficult to find products that work. Massively disappointed in the change and even more disappointed in the false advertising.

Yes x 100

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely obsessed with these facial pads. First aid beauty has become my fav brand for skincare. These truly make such a difference when my skin feels dull! Create a great texture and canvas for my makeup!

Glow Pads

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These pads are widely considered a gentle, user-friendly way to exfoliate, brighten, and smooth skin — especially good if you’re new to acid pads or have sensitive skin. Results are subtle but noticeable with consistent use.

Pre-soaked brightening facial glow pads!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Brighten + Glow Facial Radiance Pads with Glycolic + Lactic Acids. I really like that they are pre-soaked, it’s not too harsh, so even my sensitive skin can handle it! Gentle exfoliating pads with AHAs to brighten and smooth my skin. Contains natural brighteners like Lemon Peel and Indian Gooseberry.

Adds Glow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster to give my honest review. First Aid Beauty Brighten + Glow facial radiance pads-“A daily treatment pad with lactic and glycolic acids to safely and effectively exfoliate, tone, and brighten.” I have oily/combination skin. This product is refreshing. Light scent. Doesn’t burn or irritate my skin. I don’t notice a residue. I feel that it does brighten and adds glow to my skin. I’m able to use it daily without issue. I’d recommend.

Great to have!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love that these are extremely saturated! So you really get your moneys worth in product! These don’t irritate my skin at all. They are very gentle but effective. The pads have a textured side to get into all your face pores and really clean up your face! I use these every day before bed to really get that added cleanliness after washing my face and then using a moisturizer. Has a slight cleansing product smell but nothing irritating and it doesn’t last long
