How to Use Stridex Pads

Stridex pads can help fight unwanted blemishes.

Easy to use, Stridex products contain Salicylic acid as their active ingredient. These highly effective acne fighting pads can treat and prevent skin blemishes. Nearly 85 percent of people between the ages of 12 and 24 are acne prone on occasion, but all ages can experience acne. Skin cells and dirt can get trapped in the follicles of your face. Treating your face with Stridex pads can help remove dirt and shed dead cells to promote acne-free skin.

Things You'll Need

• Face wash
• Towel
• Stridex pads

Instructions

1. Wash your face with your favorite face wash or cleanser to remove excess dirt. Gently pat-dry with a towel.

2. Read the directions on the back of the package for any pertinent information, allergy notices or what to do if you need medical treatment.

3. Remove one stridex pad from the package. Wipe the pad over the entire acne-affected area, using your fingers. Stay away from eyes, lips and other mucous membranes when wiping your face. Scrubbing can cause irritation. Instead, wipe gently and discard the dirty pad.

4. Repeat with a clean pad, as necessary, to remove any remaining traces of dirt. When the pad wipes clean over your skin, treatment is finished. Try not to leave the pad on your skin for too long, because this may irritate your follicles.

Tips & Warnings

• For best results, use Stridex pads one to three times daily for a period of at least 3-4 weeks.

• If dryness, extreme redness or peeling occurs, reduce the application to once a day or every other day. Do not use this product if you are allergic to salicylic acid.
