Stridex Salicylic Acid Pads – 55 Pads
This product contains salicylic acid, an active ingredient classified in the United States as an over-the-counter acne drug (OTC Drug).
Start gradually: once every two days in the evening, then build up slowly as your skin tolerates it. Overuse causes dryness, flaking and irritation.
It makes skin more sensitive to the sun — daily sunscreen is essential. Do not use it alongside other exfoliants or vitamin A derivatives at the same time without advice. Do not use it on irritated, broken or sunburnt skin, and avoid the eye area.
Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding except on a doctor's advice. Stop use and see a dermatologist if irritation is severe or your skin does not improve. Keep out of reach of children.
● About This Product
Stridex salicylic acid pads come as a tub of 55 cotton pads soaked in a salicylic acid solution, and they are among the best-known products for blemish-prone skin in the United States. Salicylic acid (BHA) is oil-soluble, which is what allows it to get inside the pore and work on what is in it, unlike water-soluble acids that work on the surface. The pad format keeps it simple: take one, sweep it over the face, no rinsing needed. It suits oily skin and skin that is prone to blackheads.
● Features & Benefits
- Salicylic acid (BHA) is oil-soluble, so it reaches inside the pore.
- 55 ready-soaked pads with a measured dose each time.
- No rinsing — sweep it on and leave it.
- Works on the look of blackheads and congested pores.
- Improves uneven skin texture with regular use.
- Suits oily and blemish-prone skin.
- One of the better-known products of its kind on the American market.

● What Makes It Different
The difference between salicylic acid (BHA) and the AHA acids matters when you are choosing: BHA is oil-soluble, so it goes into the pore and works on its contents, which is why it is the usual pick for oily skin and blackheads, while AHA works on the surface and the texture of the skin and suits dry, dull skin better. The biggest mistake with acid products is enthusiasm: going daily from day one usually ends in dryness, flaking and irritation that makes people stop altogether. Start once every two days, build up slowly over weeks, and stay on sunscreen — acids genuinely do make skin more sensitive to the sun.
