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 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.

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.
