Improves texture of the skin massively!
I was so excited to be given the opportunity to test and review the Skinfix exfoliating pads. My first impression was how big the pot was and how generous the amount of pads was.
I first used an exfoliating pad after cleansing my face before bed. I felt that it thoroughly cleansed and exfoliated my face, leaving it feeling very smooth and even. I have been using this twice a week in my evening routine and can already see that my skin is looking clearer and more even. The pads are so easy and quick to use. Much better than scrubbing your face with a rough exfoliant. I have also been using it on my neck and chest as I do suggest with blemishes in these areas. I’m noticing the amount of blemishes are going down and they are not quite so obvious. Hopefully continued use will get rid of them completely! I would highly recommend these exfoliating pads to annoying wanting to improve the appearance and texture of their skin.

Great exfoliating pads! A must have
I received the SkinFix Exfoliating Pads to test and review as past of the Sephora Community 🤩
Having tried (and loved) SkinFix products before, I have to say this one didn’t disappoint at all!
Packaging is simple and sleek, bright in colour and recyclable plus the pads are Vegan and Cruelty Free.
Pads are quite big so each one goes a long way, soft to the touch (which feels lovely on the skin) and have the perfect amount of product to them. I like also the fact that they have a textured side and a smooth one cause they’re great for different areas of my face and neck.
I started noticing an actual difference on my skin after only a few times of using them and I have to say I am super impressed, skin feels smooth, tighter and looks healthy and bright.
Overall I’ve been enjoying these a lot and I feel they make a great addition to my skincare routine, will be purchasing again.

Really nice!
I was kindly chosen to test and review these SkinFix AHA/BHA Niacinamide Exfoliating Pads as part of the Sephora Community.
Firstly I wanted to mention the packaging - I really like the bright green tub that contains these pads. It is a striking colour, and ensures that you do not confuse these pads for anything else!
I used these pads after cleansing my skin at night. The pads are large and one pad is enough to cover my whole face. They did not have a fragrance as far as I could tell!
The pads themselves were surprisingly gentle, and my skin was not irritated by the chemical ingredients. My skin felt very soft after using these pads. Although you can use these nightly, I found using them 1-2x week enough for me to see the benefits of fresher clearer skin! I followed the pads with a good serum and night cream to ensure my skin did not dry out from the exfoliation.
Overall, I really liked these pads and will continue to use them!

Test and Review
I received this as a Test and Review from the Sephora Community. I was particularly keen to trial as I love a lactic acid peel, but haven't tried anything at home which would have this effect, nor used a high concentration of niacinamide as a chemical exfoliant before.
The pads are very large and one easily cover the face, neck and could stretch to a little extra of body scars if necessary. There is a slight chemical smell, though nothing offensive, and the pads are well soaked in liquid all the way through. The packaging states to store the pot upside down, which I have been doing, and works well at keeping all pads moist.
I use these after cleansing at night, but before applying any skincare. I would estimate I spend around 3 minutes going over my skin as a whole and then go back in to re-apply to areas of redness from old acne scarring and any freckles or areas of dullness. During this time, the pad remains damp and still has product on it. I then turn over for a final wipe all over the face.
I have found this to be surprisingly gentle, although I am a once-a-day physical salicylic acid exfoliator, and using these pads has not led to overexfoliation of my sensitive skin. After just one use, my redness over and around my nose was visibly reduced within minutes. My skin felt incredibly soft and fresh. I have managed to work up to nightly use very easily, without any irritation, and with continuing my physical exfoliation in the morning. I am likely to continue with this for the forseeable future, until more significant longer-term scar reduction has appeared, and then I will likely reduce use for maintenance.
I would recommend use of a good toner and high quality serums for skin rejuvination after use, I personally use a stem-cell based serum or very hydrating serum after, followed by ceramide serum and a heavy night moisturiser, to ensure there isn't any dryness or peeling after using the pads. My previous in-salon lactic acid peels have led to dryness and visible peeling of skin, so I have been really cautious to ensure this is kept under control at home.
After regular use most nights over the past two weeks, I am noticing a reduction in redness across my nose and surrounding third of my cheeks of old discoloured acne scarring. I would compare the quality of these pads to another high quality AHA/BHA peeling pads at-home treatment of a significantly higher value and am noticing an equally positive effect using the Skinfix pads, likely with a little more immediate reduction of redness from the niacinamide content.
Overall, I feel this is well worth an introduction to skincare regimes for those suffering with old skin discolouration and day-to-day redness and congestion of the skin. They have fitted in to my routine very well with no side effects and a visible improvement in my skin pigmentation.

Skinfix AHA/BHA Niacinamide Exfoliating Pads
The exfoliating pads are housed inside a lime green pot. There is a tamper-proof seal that also serves to keep the pads from drying out. After peeling off this seal, I carefully pushed the edges of the seal (with the foil side facing up) into the lid, so it fit snugly and could continue to keep the pads moist.
I have been using these pads on alternate days for just over a week. These pads are suitable for all skin types but If you have sensitive or sensitised skin then you may wish to use them less frequently.
The pads are white in colour with a dimpled surface at the top with a smoother underside. They are large enough for the face, neck and décolletage but if you have only a small area to treat, for example just the T-zone then you could snip the pads in half to make them go further. It would be great if these pads were perforated for that very purpose. The pads hold just the right amount to liquid, they are not too soggy and not too dry. It is a good idea to turn the pot upside down before opening, to evenly distribute the product so the pads are equally saturated before use.
They have quite a strong, pungent scent but once dry you don’t notice it. I used the pads after cleansing, in place of toner and then continued with the rest of my skincare routine.
My blemishes have improved and my skin appears clearer and smoother but I haven’t noticed any significant brightening effect. Perhaps with longer-term use the other claims for this product will be more evident.
Overall, I’m impressed with the ingredients list and am enjoying using these pads and will continue using them until I’ve finished the pot.
Thank you Sephora, for giving me the opportunity to test and review the Skinfix AHA/BHA Niacinamide Exfoliating Pads.

The absolute must-haves
I received Skinfix AHA/BHA Niacinamide Exfoliating Pads as a member of the Sephora Community. Skincare is my #1 priority, and for that reason, I'm overjoyed when I come across a product that improves its condition. At the same time, I never give my opinion on a product that I've only used once or twice (it seems not serious). I always leave it long enough to fascinate/disappoint me.
So, in essence. What won me over in these pads and what I don't like.
I started using them about 10 days ago and since I have very sensitive skin, I decided to trust the recommendation to use them one to three times a week. As I gradually think of increasing them. I was worried about how my skin would react, but so far there has been no unpleasant reaction. (I don't think there will be.) In fact, on the contrary - my skin becomes smooth, radiant and soft to the touch after each use. They do not dry out the skin and there is no feeling of tightness or other discomfort. I'm hoping that using them for a longer period of time will help me permanently get rid of some of my annoying blemishes - like acne scars and pore size, for example.
I like the shape, size and thickness of them as one perfectly cleanses the entire face and neck. They are not too thick and soaked.
The only downside for me is the scent. I think it's a bit strong and too much makes me feel like I'm using a medicine rather than a beauty product.
However, I would definitely recommend these pads to anyone who wants to take good care of their skin, as long as the price doesn't bother them.

Amazing exfoliating pads!
Skinfix AHA/BHA Niacinamide Exfoliating Pads Review 🔬
I received this product from being a member of Sephora community. This is a 60 pieces pre-soaked, alcohol-free pads that targets textured skin, fine lines, dark spots and acne.
Key ingredients: 🧪
✅ 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA) - for clogged pores
✅ 9.9% Glycolic and Lactic Acids - removes dirt and exfoliates skin
✅ 2% Niacinamide - absorbs excess oil
How to use: 👀
✨ use the embossed cotton side first and gently wipe your entire face and then wipe the softer side of the cotton once more to cleanse the face and let it’s fully absorbed
✨ start by using it 2-3 times a week and may increase to using it daily when tolerated
✨ may be used on the face, neck and targeted areas of skin concerns
Final thoughts:
I like products that contains niacinamide as it helps control the sebum production on my oily skin. This comes handy as it’s pre-soaked and ready to use. It’s also a big pad size. One thing that’s off putting is the smell as I’m sensitive to scented products, but other than that, I had no untoward reaction using this pad. This is perfect for traveling as well.

Great all in one product
I received this Skinfix product as a member of the Sephora Community in exchange for my honest review.
Skinfix Resurfacing + AHA/BHA Niacinamide Exfoliating Pads are clinical-quality, multilevel resurfacing for your face, neck, and body. The pads are Pre soaked with a combination of products which unclog pores and visibly brighten skin with a mix of salicylic, glycolic, and lactic acids while balancing and refining the look of pores with niacinamide. They also fight fine lines, rough texture, dark spots, KP, acne, and fungal acne.
Each pad has a smooth and a textured side so that they can be used for any type of skin, face and body and contains
4.9% Glycolic Acid - aids dead skin cell removal & fine lines
5% Lactic Acid - brightens, smooths & evens skin
2% Salicylic Acid - exfoliates, unclogs pores & anti inflammatory
2% Niacinamide - pore minimiser, evens skin tone, absorbs excess oils & softens fine lines
They are fragrance free and generously coated in the liquid, storage upside down is recommended to keep even hydration of them. Recommended usage is to begin slowly 1-3x weekly and increase as preferred and as they contain AHA, a sunscreen is recommended during use and for a week afterwards.
I have reactive sensitive skin with fine lines, breakouts and some KP on my arms. Having used them for 2 weeks so far, I have had absolutely no adverse effects. I have most definitely noticed a slight brightening of my skin and blemishes have cleared quickly with less redness but will need longer usage on my face and arms to see longer term effects on fine lines etc.
I really like the fact they are not only tested and recommended by dermatologists but also because they are an all in one option, speeding up my routine whilst visibly working.
Packaging is made responsibly too. Cartons are produced from 100% recycled paper and printed with vegetable inks and the jar and lid from reclaimed and recycled plastics, both are recyclable as well. Pads themselves are alcohol free and bio degradable.
Thank you Sephora for sending me this great product, it’s a yes from me 👏🏻
