"The pads are quite strong in odor, which took my breathe away when I first used them, which shocked me, I hope it gets better, otherwise I'll order something different.
Otherwise, I'm very satisfied with the products that I've order from you."

"This product is inexpensive but the quality is fantastic. I purchased this for those nights when I'm too tired to wash the makeup off my face. I love it. It doesn't leave any residue on the face and doesn't clog my pores. The only down side to this product is that the strong smell is a bit over-powering and I've found I have to do a wipe, hold-breath, breathe routine. But love love love the results of this product."

"This product is perfect for bringing to work or travel. They are individual pads with Tea Tree Oil cleanser on them. They have definitely made a difference in my skin, and I can bring them anywhere. I'm in my 40's but have skin as oily as when I was 20! Can be a little drying make sure you have a good moisterizer that doesn't make you break out."

"I love these pads. I have mildly oily skin with ocasional acne breakouts and all I have to do is use a pad and the next morning it is gone.My pore size is tiny since I have been using these. The smell is strong but that doesn't bother me. Just wipe, rinse and pat dry, and my skin is really soft afterwards. I will repurchase."

"Has cleared up the face of my preteen from those little white bumps he had. Leaves my face feeling clean without a residue sticky feel like many other products I've tried. Pads are good size-not too small. They are quite strong smelling with the tea tree scent which is what 3 of my teens object to and thus refuse to use even though their faces would thank them."
