Helps keep you looking younger with perpetually healthy skin
I can't believe I'm just now using this item. I've been doing Chemical Peels for a couple years and I use the AHA toner which packs a nice punch. Alternating that with these pads every other morning I haven't had to purchase the pricey chemical peels or deal with how uncomfortable they can be and you never know if you're gonna have "down time" from one. These pads come with 60 presoaked pads and I was very happy with the ingredients.. Glycolic Acid, Hyralaunic Acid, Witch Hazel, and Blue Daisy which are all very beneficial to transform your skin at least 10 years back when used regularly. I have these on Subscribe and Save but only need them once every 2 months since I only use this every other day when I'm not using the AHA toner. I think using them both together would be too much for your skin and I'd end up with the opposite results than desired. But these 2 products used on alternating days keep my skin consistently hydrated, firm, bright, even skin tone, and never any dry or dead skin. My pores aren't noticeable and I look much younger than 40 yrs old (at least that's I'm told) I will continue to keep this in my skin care routine for the foreseeable future

Love this product - purchased 12 times and counting
As a woman in my mid-30s, I've been using Nip + Fab Glycolic Acid Fix Daily Cleansing Pads for several years now, and I'm thrilled with the results. These pads have become a staple in my skincare routine. I have slightly sensitive skin and these have been very gentle for me to use once every other day or so. The inclusion of glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, and witch hazel is a game-changer. Glycolic acid helps exfoliate my skin gently, leaving it smoother and brighter. Hyaluronic acid ensures my skin stays hydrated and plump, which is crucial as we age. Witch hazel provides a soothing and toning effect, reducing redness and irritation. I've noticed a significant improvement in my skin's texture and a more even skin tone since I started using these pads. My skin feels refreshed and looks radiant. They are incredibly convenient for daily use, and the pre-soaked pads make application a breeze. However, it's worth noting that, like with any product containing glycolic acid, it's essential to start slowly to avoid potential sensitivity. I'd recommend using sunscreen during the day to protect your skin. Overall, Nip + Fab Glycolic Acid Fix Daily Cleansing Pads have become a skincare must-have for me. They've helped me maintain a youthful glow and address some of the skin concerns that come with age. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve their skin's texture and tone.

Great for glycolic acid product!
I purchased this specifically as a glycolic acid product---and I use it about 3-4 times per week at night, after my makeup removal/face cleanser step. I opted for this product because it said "daily", so I figured it would be gentle enough since this is the first time I'm using a glycolic acid product. I generally don't have sensitive skin, so I didn't have any adverse effects. no redness/stickiness. So far, I do really like using them and looking forward to the benefits. The hyaluronic acid is a plus for my dry skin! First time using it felt a bit sticky--however i used multiple products, and realized i was putting too much on my face and not letting anything properly soak in before the next step. Just make sure the pad isn't SUPER soaked with product, or just rub lightly over your face. No more stickiness :) A lot of people gave this a one star because they use these for cleansing. These have glycolic acid in them, so it's really NOT a good replacement if you're used to a more general cleansing pad. Tbh, I'm not sure why this has "daily cleansing" in the name----These pads are too small/thin to actually be used for cleaning your skin. You should be using a proper cleanser or makeup remover anyways unless you have the skin of a 16 year old lol. Also, please read ingredients in products BEFORE using them, and TEST them on a patch of skin on your hand/arm before on your face! ONLY reason for the 4 instead of 5 stars: these pads are THIN, not necessarily bad in my opinion, just not what I expected. There was a plastic covering around the lid, but no safety seal? I know some companies opt for just the plastic and no safety seal, however it did come with some liquid seeping out which kinda sucked.

Works well with continued use but leaves a film on the skin
I've been using these pads for a few weeks now. I have seen results but we'll see if I repurchase them again. I wanted to try Glycolic Acid in a low dosage that I could use everyday with minimal side effects vs going all out with a peel. After a few weeks I have notice that my skin is brighter, some of my hyper-pigmentation has been reduced, my pores seem tighter, and the texture of my skin has improved (my main reason for wanting to try an acid). I still have a long way to go before my skin is "flawless" but these pads do make a difference. The downside for me is that they do leave a sticky film residue on my skin that I can feel all night and find annoyingly uncomfortable. I'd like to use the pads twice a day but I haven't because I wouldn't be able to stand that film on my skin for an entire day. Next time around I think I'll try to find a glycolic acid toner that gives me results that are just as good.

If you have acne prone or sensitive skin be cautious.
I have oily to combo skin; more oily then combo in the summer months. Im acne prone and I’ve learned I have sensitive skin, I usually break out when using exfoliants or certain products. It’s a hit or miss really. Initially when I first used this product it left my skin plump and glowing. My skin looked great immediately. However, I broke out the next day. My skin overall looked great if you don’t count the breakout on my chin and cheek. I treated my break out and once it was cleared (4 days later ), I tried again, but only in areas I’m not prone to break outs. Well, Unfortunately the next morning after using, I had a couple of pimples coming up in the areas I used the pad on. I really want to love this product and I don’t want to give up on it just yet. I’ll will keep trying in hope to get my skin use to the product, but with precaution of course. I think if you have sensitive skin, nuts keep in mind that this product does what it says it does but may cause some irritation.

So far so good
I have very dry, sensitive, sun damaged skin with horrible texture. I've always used physical exfoliation but never really saw much improvement to my severely dry spots and rough texture. I decided to declutter and simplify my routine I'm almost 40 I'm not gonna wake up looking 22 again without some major divine intervention and I'm good with that. In just 3 days there has been a real improvement- my skin feels smooth and has a healthy glow for the first time in over a year, without 13 products and a Excel sheet to keep the routine straight. Wash with cervave hydrating, tone with rose witch hazel, nip and Fab pads, the ordinary hyaluronic serum and CeraVe PM moisturize at night. Then just splash of water, moisturize, sunscreen and go in the morning. Seems like an involved routine, but this is a short list compared to what I was doing with less noticeable resaults. I haven't had an reaction yet, there was a slightly tingle but calmed down as soon as it absorbed and no redness!

Must have
These are a must have if you aren’t a fan of crusty looking makeup, which I’m not. I exfoliate my skin regularly, but I was still struggling with my foundation looking patchy in spots. These help turn over the skin faster and help my makeup look flawless. They have also helped turn over my dark post acne breakout spots. But, if you have microbladed brows - beware of using these on your forehead! They will fade your ink and you’ll have to pencil in faster if you aren’t careful. So use with caution if that’s something you’ve invested in. Otherwise, they’re amazing!

So. Freaking. Amazing.
Updated below after 4 weeks of use... I've only been using these for two days (once per day) and I'm HOOKED! I'm 41 years old, very fair and sensitive skin, with some discoloration/brown spots following two pregnancies. I have good skin genetics (thanks Mom!) but I started taking care of my skin when I was young because I knew it was worth taking care of. I have used a multitude of cleansers, moisturizers, masks, peels, and various other products over the last 3 decades. This is truly the FIRST product I've used that provided tangible results after the first use. My skin actually felt smoother and more refined to the touch AFTER THE FIRST USE. I am absolutely elated with the results! I cannot wait to see how much improvement there is following weeks and months of use! UPDATE: these pads are every bit as amazing as I initially thought they were. I've now been using them for a full month and my skin just keeps improving. The brown spots (following two pregnancies) are diminishing noticeably! My skin looks firmer and clearer than it has in many years! I am adding this product to my Subscribe and Save orders because I don't ever want to be without them!

Softer, glowy skin for summer!
I purchased this to help further exfoliate my face and chest—particularly with summer being here I tend to break out on my chest and forehead from working out outside and just from increased heat and humidity in general. I have maybe 10 pads left and do an on reordering. I initially started using them once a day at night after taking off my makeup and washing my face, however, after 3-4 days my skin started to break out and go through a purging period due to the addition of glycolic acid to my routine. I cut back to using the wipes 2-3x a week (which is what I should have done to begin with). The purging lasted for about 2 weeks, which was a real bummer, but honestly completely worth it. My skin texture has vastly improved, it’s super soft to the touch, and appears “glowier” in general. This was the perfect amount of “oomph” I was looking to add to my summer skin care routine. Highly recommend!

I Have A Good Suggestion
Haven't used it long enough to have an actual opinion of the product but just by accident I did something that I do all the time now. Had the produce about 5 days, took one pad out and put the container back in the cabinet but accidentally put it in upside down. When I took another out the next night it was nice and wet. I continue to do this now and have 3 left in the jar, all have been nice and wet. Try it...

Great product, but not at this size
I’ve purchased the smaller version of this product with fewer pads and I absolutely love it. But this packaging with 100 pads is not it. I don’t know if it’s because there are so many or if this package just doesn’t sell as fast, but these pads are DRY. I have to use double the pads to get enough product on my face. This is my second time buying this size package and my second time regretting it. Buy this product for sure, just the smaller jar, not this one.

Super Convenient!!
There's 60 of these Glycolic pads, so it'll last a month if you use one in the morning and one at night. My skin has transformed to a super soft texture. I use a makeup remover wipe to remove all my heavy makeup, then wash my face with my Kojic soap. Now that my skin is super clean, I use a Glycolic pad over my face, neck and the back of my hands. I only do the back of my hands at night. I don't apply anything over at night, except the Tatcha stick under my eyes. In the morning I wash my face with the Kojic soap and use the Glycolic pad on face and neck. I let it dry and apply my moisturizer then my makeup. I think they make your skin turn over faster, so you have new softer skin as a result. My daughter is using them on her armpits after she showers. These Glycolic pads are well packaged in the jar. So if you knock it over from the counter or traveling with these, they are well protected.

Must have for my skin routine
I’ve been using these pads for about 6 months and my skin looks so much better! I have lupus so I’m very sensitive to sun and tend to have dry skin. This is such a quick way to keep my skin in great shape. My skin looks/feels smoother and less red, especially when I’m having a lupus flare. I also appreciate that the pads are biodegradable!

Great product, works well for me!
I bought this based on several reviews I’d read and so far I must say I’m pleased with my purchase! I am almost 50 and have fair skin and for the past few years have been breaking out with what my dermatologist says is acne vulgaris. It’s not too severe, but does distress me when I have several pimples on my face. I started using this and must say that this seems to have reduced the amount of pimples I get, plus helps speed up the clearing up process without drying my skin out. I use one regular wipe after I’ve showered in the morning and I use one of the stronger ‘night’ formulated wipes before bedtime so it has all night to work. I have no had any irritation, burning or peeling from this product and now have it on Subscribe and Save so I never run out!!

WONDER PADS!
Living in the country, we are rarely exposed to smog, pollution, etc. and because I am a minimalist when it comes to makeup (mascara, lip gloss, maybe some eye shadow and out the door I go) I really never had a routine when it came to washing or moisturizing my face. Also, I HATE the feeling of water dripping down my elbows. I am entering my late 30ths and started to really notice how tired and just "blahh" my skin looked, so I know I needed to do something. I researched and researched and then found something that was A. affordable and B. user friendly: enter Nip + Fab Daily Cleansing Pads. . . mind. BLOWN! After just one week, my skin is glowing, I get compliments all the time on how radiant I look and all I've done is literally used two pads to "wipe" down my face in the AM and PM. I'm telling you, these are AMAZING- I highly suggest them to anyone who hates to spend too much time "primping"

New formula?
Have the subscription for these and the pads from their new packaging seem very different, on my face they left a tackier residue than the old ones and almost irritated my skin which doesn’t normally happen. When used on my arm pits they used to leave them super fresh and I wouldn’t have to use deodorant for one or two days after applying. This week I have used them day and night and have to apply deodorant mid day

Such an amazing product!
I have tried a million different things to help with my hormonal acne along my chin line. I purchased this on a whim after reading a buzzfeed article, and I cannot be more impressed!! It has completely cleared up current pimples and has been successful at keeping new ones at bay. Seriously amazed at the progress! I just bought the night one too. Will definitely be keeping this product handy. As a side note, I also suffered from terrible ingrown hairs on my bikini line and I started using these on those as well. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but it has cleared those up and prevented any new ones from happening too. Seriously a multi tasking product! I started immediately using twice a day and had no issues with over drying or irritating. Bonus, it has a fruity pebbles-esq scent, which makes it nice to use!

Smells great, doesn't break me out, leaves a nice glow on my skin
I have been using the glycolic fix pads from Nip+Fab for a handful of months now. What I like about these is that they add a layer of moisture to my skin that isn't too heavy. My skin tends to breakout if I use too much moisturizer unfortunately, but these have never caused me to get any pimples. My face looks dewy and nice. I also really enjoy the scent. The blue daisy in it stands out and you smell like a flower after using it. I believe my skin has built up a tolerance to the percentage of glycolic acid in it and I don't notice a huge difference in my marks at this point. I do think these are a great product to use after washing the face for a deeper clean while also depositing the helpful acids that are in these onto the skin.

Smooths texture of your skin
Love these as an added step to my skin care regime. I have definitely noticed a smoother texture and a nice glow to my skin. My esthetician noticed my pores have changed for the better as well. These are Gentle enough to use everyday but I use every other day. I use these first after cleansing and then I follow up with either snail mucin or Hyaluronic acid to seal in moisture. I would definitely recommend.
I have purchased this product several times. The pads stay moist. It prevents breakouts and keeps skin smooth. I use it primarily to clean off daily oils and makeup.

Elemis dupe
I wanted something similar to Elemis resurfacing brand, as much as that brand and formula worked for me it didn’t seem feasible to keep buying an expensive item long term. This was a nice dupe, and it smelled decent, not strong in a citrus like scent. It didn’t break me out and it didn’t hurt my sensitive skin so I’d say it worked well. It is a good value for the money and when I think my face is clean, I run a wipe over and realize it is not lol so this definitely cleans your face well

Brightens, but increased number of zits
I have fair skin that breaks out easily, and big pimples can leave deep purple scars that are noticeable. So, I wanted this product for its brightening and lightening quality. After using it for a few days (applying once I returned home and washed my face, leaving the serum on my skin for the night), I noticed some acne scars fading, which was super. But using it for a few days in a row, I think the products can also feed localized acne, because I had a bunch of tiny zits pop up around my eyebrows and chin, which normally only happens after drinking a lot or eating too much sugar. So I think this is a good brightener, but I will be careful not to use it several days in a row, because for my skin it did cause some problems.

Great stuff
I discovered that for my skin, it gets worse before it gets better when I first started using this product. Apparently, I had a TON of clogged pores that were dormant and this product just sucks them out. So yes, I was breaking out for the first few weeks but I swear this stuff has cleared out blackheads I’ve had for God knows how long. I did some research - I got nervous after the breakouts - and I discovered this happens often when using a new skincare product and is called “skin purging”. For the price and amount of product, this is a great addition to a skincare routine. It’s been about 4 weeks now and the breakouts have stopped.
