Stridex Maximum Strength Salicylic Acid 2% Acne Pads | 55 Alcohol-Free Exfoliating Pads | For Clogged Pores & Breakouts

Maximum Strength, Simple Routine. The No-Rx Standard for Fighting Acne.
Stridex Maximum Strength Pads deliver the highest over-the-counter concentration of acne-fighting medicine with 2% Salicylic Acid in an alcohol-free formula. Each of the 55 soft-touch pads cleanses, exfoliates, and treats existing pimples while working to prevent new ones by penetrating deep into pores to dissolve oil and unclog them, even after washing. It's the straightforward, effective solution for clearer skin.

⚡ How 2% Salicylic Acid Works:
Salicylic Acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) with a unique oil-soluble property, allowing it to:

Exfoliate Inside the Pore: Penetrates and dissolves the mix of sebum and dead skin cells that cause blackheads and whiteheads.

Reduce Inflammation: Helps shrink the size and redness of existing pimples.

Prevent Future Clogs: Regular use keeps pores clear to stop new breakouts from forming.

✨ Key Benefits:

✅ Treats & Prevents Acne: Targets the root cause of breakouts for clearer skin over time.

✅ Deeply Cleans & Unclogs Pores: Removes impurities that cleansers can leave behind.

✅ Alcohol-Free Formula: Avoids the stinging, drying, and irritation associated with alcohol-based astringents.

✅ Convenient & Pre-Soaked: No mess, no guesswork. Each pad is ready to use.

✅ Soft-Touch Texture: Gentle on the skin for effective daily exfoliation.

⚠️ How to Use Effectively & Safely:

Start Slow: If you are new to salicylic acid or have sensitive skin, begin by using the pads once every other day to assess tolerance.

Cleanse First: Use the pad on clean, dry skin after washing your face.

Application: Gently wipe a single pad over your entire face, focusing on areas prone to oiliness and breakouts (like the forehead, nose, and chin). Avoid the immediate eye area.

Let Dry: Allow the solution to dry completely on your skin. Do not rinse off.

Follow Up: Apply a fragrance-free, oil-free moisturizer to counteract any potential dryness. This step is crucial.

SUNSCREEN IS MANDATORY: Salicylic acid increases sun sensitivity. You MUST apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning.

Frequency: Once your skin adapts, you can typically use once daily (usually in the evening).
