Peter Thomas RothMax Complexion Correction Pads

I'm 28 and have struggled with moderate persistent acne since I was a teenager. I've tried many, many different brands and types of treatment, from Proactiv to Neutrogena Skin ID and Active Naturals to Mary Kay and Biore and Clean&Clear, to home remedies, epsom salt, regular old soap, salycilic acid peels, masks, toners, just leaving my skin alone... Basically I had nothing to lose by trying these too. And I've been so surprised.I've been using these pads for about 4 months now and the improvement in my skin is amazing. Is it perfect? No, but I would say it's like 90% better than it used to be. I still get a zit here and there but they just don't last like they used to and they don't multiply. This is just one of the 3 cleansing/treatment products I use in my routine that finally seems to be working, but I think it's the most vital.I use them once a day at night after showering and washing/exfoliating my skin with African Black Soap. They can REALLY sting if you have inflamed/irritated areas on your face, but it passes after a few seconds and it's so worth the discomfort. The smell is very strong but it's pleasant enough. And for me, they seem to rebalance my skin after the slightly drying effect of the black soap. There's no flaking afterwards, and when I wake up in the morning my skin feels smooth and hydrated.I'm able to wear less and less foundation (which finding the right foundation that wouldn't break me out was half the battle I think. I had read that mineral makeup is healthier for the skin but powder foundations just don't work for me so I've been using a liquid mineral foundation glominerals gloProtective Liquid Foundation - Satin II 1.4 oz. that seems to keep my skin happy.)My skin looks and feels healthier. Something in them also helps to fade acne marks quickly. I was having a rough time around my jaw line for a few months before I started using these, but now in that same area there's no discoloration, no monsters lurking; just clear skin. They are definitely worth trying at the very least.

I've used 3-4 containers of these and they are amazing for combination skin. They do tingle a bit, but that's how you know they're working. My skin is glowing the morning after I use them. They help clear up bumps and blackheads within a week.

My wife's review-This is amazing! After having our 4th child my skin was all out of sorts and no amount of Dermatologist prescribed medications or ointments made a difference. I've tried it all, differen, retin a, and every new cream on the market- and nothing worked. I tried ACNE,Org, Proactive, nada. I had given up hope that the tiny bumps beneath the skin would go away and as a last ditched effort I purchased these on May 10th.Since then my skin hasn't looked this good since my mid twenties! As other reviewers state I cut these in 2 and 1/2 half is perfect enough to use in the morning while I use the other half in the evening before I go to bed. Since I've used retin a before I knew my skin would tolerate this product well. I am surprised at how well my skin reacted to it. Within a few days my skin was clearer, brighter and more even. There is a strong Bellini smell to it, but it goes away after it settles and I honestly don't mind it at all.I went from full coverage MAC foundation to Bare Minerals new serum foundation or Physicians Formula Spotless foundation which are both light coverage foundations. I need a spot of concealer for my old scars, but no more full coverage for this mama!My scars are slowly fading- i believe with continued use they'll be gone in no time.I use the Salicylic acid face wash at the end of my day after using Cetephil's makeup remover wipes to remove all traces of makeup. 3 times a week I wash with my clarisonic Mia for a deeper cleaning.. and I use these wipes 2x a day. Again- give it a try- this has really helped to even out my skin tone, clear up my complexion and I haven't had a breakout since I started using it. If i do get a pimple- its usually because of TTOTM, but they go away within 24 hrs and don't leave a scar.

Peter Thomas Roth never fails in delivering top quality products and I’m again very pleased. I have noticed a difference already and if I’m more consistent I’m sure the results will be even better. Highly recommend this brand and product.

I absolutely love these exfoliating pads. They are holy grail for me and the absolute only product I have found that keeps my skin clear (believe me, I've tried them all). Before using these I had terrible breakouts and even when those cleared up I could never get rid of all the little clogged pores/whiteheads on my cheeks. These have not only helped prevent breakouts, but finally rid me of all the clogged pores I had! I still get the occasional hormonal breakout but these clear that up really quick. For the first time in my life I have clear skin. I'm also 27 so my skin is starting to show some signs of aging and I feel like these are helping with that as well.They are pretty strong so I recommend starting slow, using them a couple times a week and then working up. The acids in them can make you sensitive to the sun and they do contain alcohol so they can be a bit drying - definitely better to use them at night then follow up with a good moisturizer (I use the CeraVe moisturizing cream). My skin, although sensitive, tolerates acids really well so I use these every other night (or sometimes every night if I'm trying to clear up a breakout). Never had any issues with them causing irritation, although everyone is different.My only big complaint is the price. These used to retail for around $30 (and I could sometimes find them for $25 here on amazon!). They are now $46 no matter where you buy them....thats a 50% increase in price!!! That's overpriced in my opinion but I continue to buy them because I can't find a cheaper alternative that works as well. I cut them in half, which makes the jar stretch a little longer, but I wish they were more affordable.
