Your questions, answered
How strong are Stridex Maximum pads?
Each pad is soaked in 2% salicylic acid, the top strength in the Stridex range and four times the 0.5% in Stridex Acne Pads with Aloe. The pads are alcohol-free, with a soft-touch texture.
What does the label say they treat?
Acne. The Drug Facts say Stridex Maximum reduces the number of acne pimples and blackheads, allows skin to heal and helps prevent new pimples from forming.
How do I use the pads?
Clean your skin, then wipe one pad over the whole affected area to leave a thin layer, rather than dabbing single spots. Start once a day and build up to two or three times a day only if you need to, and don't leave a pad resting on the skin.
My skin is dry and peeling. What should I do?
Cut back to once a day or every other day, as the label advises for bothersome dryness or peeling. Dryness is also more likely if you use another topical acne product, such as benzoyl peroxide, at the same time, so use one at a time if irritation starts.
How long does a pack of 55 last?
55 days at one pad a day, about four weeks at two a day, or 18 days at the label's maximum of three a day.
Are there any safety points?
Don't use Stridex Maximum if you're allergic to salicylic acid. The pads are for external use only: keep them away from eyes, lips and other mucous membranes, and put used pads in the bin rather than flushing them. The formula contains fragrance and menthol.
Maximum, Aloe or XL pads?
Stridex Acne Pads with Aloe (0.5%) are the gentler starting point for sensitive or dry skin. Stridex XL Face & Body pads have the same 2% strength in a bigger, dual-textured pad for the back and chest, while Stridex Maximum is the standard-size 2% pad for the face.
Individual results may vary.
