Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been using this for over a month, so I can now write a good review on it. I'm 50 years old and still have acne-prone skin. I get clogged pores, blackheads, and when I do get pimples several times each month, they're the unreasonable, huge, red, never-go-away kind that keep festering and even scab over. I've found that I can use this to exfoliate my face when the pad is dry as well as using it with a good liquid cleanser when wet. I'm allergic to so many things, so being able to use it while dry is great! It roughs up the dead skin to be washed and moisturized away. It also sloughs off the invisible layer covering clogged pores so when I do it in the evening, even while in bed watching TV, when I get up in the morning, the crud in my pores has literally come to the surface, ready to be scrubbed away or lightly squeezed out if needed. I also use it in the shower or at the sink to get my skin deep-down clean. If I've worn makeup that day (and I usually don't), I remove it with a makeup removing towelette and/or a wet wash cloth with cleansing bar lather first. Then I use this pad with some Cetaphil spread across it to lightly scrub and wash my face and neck. This is the first time in over 25 years that I've finally gotten my skin under control! I use one pad for about a month, and it's good for 1x - 2x per day, along with lightly using it to do some random exfoliation every so often. My pores have shrunk, my breakouts are down by about 90%, and my face feels smooth. I don't know if it helps with wrinkles yet, but some reviews say it does, so that would be an added bonus. After using the pad, I squeeze and shake it out and put it by the sink to dry. It's light and porous, so it dries out quickly and completely, preventing mildew and bacteria from setting up housekeeping in there. If you're worried about bacteria, though, you could probably flush it with some peroxide or rubbing alcohol, then rinse and dry, or perhaps dip it in just-boiled water to kill germs. I haven't had that problem with this pad, though. I did recently buy another similar-colored, teardrop-shaped pad from Amazon and found that what I received seemed to be harsher than this one. I'm not sure if I'll try it for my face or not, but if I do, I'll be sure to update this with what happened. Finally, I do have very sensitive skin. My skin got worse for a couple of weeks before it got better, but it definitely got much better. I think it got worse because of all of the impurities I was working out of my skin along with the abrasion, so I reduced how often I used it dry until my skin calmed down and that did the trick. This is the "gentle" version of the pad. I haven't used a facial "regular" version, but I have used the body Buf Puf which is a regular version and I don't think my skin could handle that. My sensitive, middle-aged skin needs this but it doesn't need to be sanded off completely! I can't see me going without this in the future. It's a small price to pay for a month of nice-looking skin using basic cleanser. I know this was long, and I'm not a big review writer, but if I can help someone who's had as much trouble finding the right thing as I have, it's been worth the time I took to write this.
