Glycolix Gly-Sal Cleansing Pads are a deep cleaning pad that contains a mix of ten percent glycolic acid with two percent salicylic acid. According to the company this product was made especially for those with oily skin and those prone to acne. The company says that your skin will be left feeling refreshed and tone and will be acne free with a few weeks of use. While the ingredients in Glycolix Gly-Sal Cleansing Pads may indeed be somewhat effective in fighting your acne, it is only because they are very harsh and may in fact burn away your acne.

Usage will vary

The recommended usage from the company is up to three times per day but the company acknowledges the fact that there very well may be irritation, burning, and or skin peeling that comes along with using this product. That is because there are a lot of acids in this product and that is what acids do; they burn. The company says if any irritation takes place, and it more than likely will, then you should back off using the product so much; thanks for the helpful hint.

How to use it

Like almost all acne fighting pads available today, Glycolix Gly-Sal Cleansing Pads are used by swiping the entire acne prone or acne affected areas of the face and body. The company suggests you start with once a day and then move on to two to three times per day, that is if your skin can handle it.

Ingredients

While you already know that there are acids in this product, the entire ingredients list will not make you feel any better and is as follows:

* Glycolic Acid, Ten Percent
* Salicylic Acid, Two Percent
* Purified Water
* Glycolic Acid
* SD Alcohol
* Witch Hazel
* Ammonium Hydroxide
* Polysorbate-20
* Disodium EDTA
* Sodium Benzoate
* Acetone
* Imidazolidinyl Urea

Looking at the entire list of ingredients its no wonder the company warns extensively about irritation and dryness. Of all the ingredients listed, almost everything in the product has the potential to irritate your skin, except for the water.

Conclusion

If you use this product after seeing the list of ingredients, you are getting what you ask for. There is sure to be some sort of irritation for your skin should you decides to go forward and use this product, even if your skin is not normally sensitive. Generally in these types of wipes you find one, maybe two of these acids and alcohols, but not as many as you find in Glycolix Gly-Sal Cleansing Pads. If you really want to try to rid yourself of acne in such a harsh way, just cut out the middle man and stick your head into a vat of acid. Now that is speaking metaphorically of course, but you get the drift. There are plenty of other acne fighting products available on the market today that will effectively accomplish what this product can, but do it with a lot less burning, peeling, and irritation. Instead of being called deep cleaning pads, Glycolix Gly-Sal Cleansing Pads should be called deep burning pads.
