I just took my daughter to the dermatologist, who told us that she has comedonal acne on her forehead. Of course he went the nuclear option and prescribed some expensive medicated, chemical-laden treatment, without first even suggesting an over-the-counter option. I went on-line and found these salicylic acne pads and thought we would give them a try. The doctor had told us, much to my daughter's disappointment, that even the medication he had prescribed would not be a quick-fix, and that it would probably get worse before it got better. You can imagine my daughter's delight when, after only three nights of using these pads, her acne is almost entirely cleared up! We are so happy with this purchase, and will continue to buy them as long as she needs them!!
