Comparison Review: Night Extreme vs. Daily Cleansing Pads
These Extreme pads are a true MUST-HAVE beauty item!!! I've ordered this product so many times I thought it time to write a review extolling the many benefits! I use these exfoliating pads on my face & neck as well as the backs of my arms where I get keratosis pilaris (aka. "chicken skin" see pic). I use them nightly and when I run out or forget for say, a week or so, my KP starts to come back so I KNOW they are VERY EFFECTIVE! About Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Pads in General: - Contains 60 pads, or 2 months worth if used once daily. - Very thin, kinda see-though - About the size of a standard cotton round, measuring 55mm diameter. - Premoistened damp but not dripping. - A slightly pocked texture makes them easy to hold onto & friction keeps them stuck to your fingers while applying. - The lid keeps them moist until the very last one (they don't dry out like other pads do). (WINNER) Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix NIGHT EXTREME pads: - Have a nice, very subtle almost citrus smell that feels fresh. - Contains AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) 5% Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acids for exfoliation of acne scars, wrinkles & sun damage - usually products contain anywhere from 2-20% so 5% is a little weak but good for daily use. - Contains BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid) Salicylic Acid as an exfoliant for reducing active acne - usually found at a 2% concentration in more over-the-counter cosmetics. Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix DAILY CLEANSING pads: - Have a strong floral scent that is honestly a bit overwhelming; makes it hard to breath when using under the nose / upper lip. - Contains AHA Glycolic Acid but does not list the percentage so I'm going to guess it's minimal - just enough to use it as a sell point. - Contains Hyaluronic Acid which is an INCREDIBLE water-based hydration (moisturizer) that holds between 400x and 1000x its weight in water; Keeps collagen synthesis up, as well as retaining skin moisture; Used as an lip filler (injected). - Contains "Blue Daisy" which claims to soothe and calm the skin, but for me it just makes the pads very strong smelling. Also worth noting: The period-after-opening symbol or PAO symbol tells you how long the product "keeps" for once it is opened. The numbers inside usually tell you in months (such as "6M") how long the self-life is after opening. And for these pads, you have 6 months to use them or lose them (er, their promised efficacy at least). This is worth mentioning because that is a kinda short amount of time. Many products last for 24 months so just be aware of how long you've had them if you aren't using them every day. I use and love these pads and am totally obsessed. I also use them on my man's face when he has clogged pores. I've given them as gifts after letting a friends try them. I'd recommend them for pretty much any skin type since we all need a gentle exfoliant to keep our skin fresh & healthy. I plan to use these Nip + Fab Night Extreme Pads for the foreseeable future so they are very highly recommended!
