Why choose Stridex?
Stridex is a trusted name, and every product is sold as genuine UK stock by Vitamingo.
One step for acne control - what does a Stridex pad actually do in that step?
Each pad is soaked in salicylic acid, the US-labelled acne active that clears oil and unclogs pores to treat breakouts and help prevent new ones. Swipe it over cleansed skin, let it dry, done - the textured pad adds a light exfoliating action as it goes. Follow the label directions closely, and ask a pharmacist if you're unsure whether it suits you.
Why do people make such a fuss about Stridex being alcohol-free?
Because classic astringent pads relied on alcohol, which stings and strips - and stripped skin often produces more oil. Stridex ditched it, so you get the salicylic acid benefit without the burn, which is why these red-box pads have a cult following.
Face only or can I do chest and back too?
Anywhere breakouts show up - the pad format is actually easier than creams for shoulders and chest. For bigger areas, the Stridex XL Face & Body pads give you more real estate per swipe.
How many times a day?
Start with once daily and build to the label's directions as your skin tolerates it. If you use other actives like benzoyl peroxide or retinol, alternate them rather than layering everything at once.
Individual results may vary.
