Your questions, answered
How strong are these Stridex pads?
Each pad holds 1% salicylic acid, the Essential strength in the Stridex range, in an alcohol-free formula with vitamins C and E. That's half the 2% in Stridex Maximum.
What does the label say they do?
The Drug Facts list three uses: treating acne, reducing the number of pimples and blackheads so skin can heal, and helping prevent new pimples from forming. The tub sums it up as cleans, treats and prevents.
How often should I use a pad?
Clean your skin, then wipe one pad over the whole affected area one to three times a day. Start with once a day, and cut back to once a day or every other day if dryness or peeling bothers you.
Essential, Maximum or Aloe — which should I choose?
Stridex Essential at 1% is the middle option, a good start for everyday breakouts. We also stock Stridex Single-Step Acne Control Maximum (2%) for oily, resilient skin and Stridex Acne Pads with Aloe (0.5%) if 1% stings.
Can I use them with other acne treatments?
Carefully: the label warns that dryness and irritation are more likely if you use another topical acne medicine at the same time. If irritation starts, use only one acne treatment at a time and ask a pharmacist for advice.
Who shouldn't use them?
Don't use Stridex Essential if you're allergic to salicylic acid, and keep the pads away from your eyes, lips and other mucous membranes. Put used pads in the bin, not the toilet, and wash your hands afterwards.
Individual results may vary.
