    What the gurus are saying

    These pads earn praise for smoothing skin and bringing back radiance, and reviewers highlight their gentle touch despite containing both chemical exfoliants. The standout use is as a pre-treatment before vitamin C serums, where they lower skin pH to help the vitamin C absorb better and work more effectively. They're versatile enough for body use too.

    "I have the dermatology Tingle Exfoliating Pads. I don't use this on my face because I really love the Dr. Dennis Gross exfoliating daily peels, but I like to use this product on my body because sometimes I do develop texture on my chest, even my arms. When your legs are looking a little dull and they're scaly, flaky, maybe you have keratosis pilaris, you have bumps, these do a really good job to smooth everything out and it brings life back to your skin. This has a total of 10% AHAs. There's glycolic and lactic acid in here, 5% each. And then there's a 2% BHA, which is salicylic acid. And these are actually really nice. You get 60 pads. So you can use it on your face, you can use it on your body. This would be something that I would repurchase again."

    "They are a BHA at 2% salicylic acid and they help lower the pH of your skin. If you wanted to boost the effectiveness of your vitamin C, this is definitely an advanced skincare hack. I actually personally can't do it right now because my skin's a little bit on the sensitive side, but if you have really tolerant skin and you want to boost the effectiveness of your vitamin C by dropping the pH, definitely recommend a quick swipe of the tingle pads before you put on your vitamin C."

    "The exfoliation products that I recommend from Dermatology are their tingle pads. This is AHA BHA with glycolic and lactic, the alphahydroxy acids, and salicylic acid for the beta hydroxy acid, and it just gives your skin a bit of exfoliation."

    "I am a huge fan of these tingle pads. You can use these two ways. You can use them in the morning, they're gently exfoliating, they have several active acids. You can use them in the morning if you're going to be highly responsible about your sun protection because any exfoliating product that you use in the morning it's not like an absolute no no but it is going to make your skin a little bit more sensitive so you must wear your sunscreen. But if you combine this product with your vitamin C it kind of preps your vitamin C, lowers the pH so your vitamin C formula can work even better. Now in an evening routine this can be your exfoliating product. I highly recommend that mature women over 50 use an exfoliating product at least once a week to brighten up our skin and this would be a perfect pick."
    Skincare HACKS FOR MATURE SKIN! (DRMTLGY Fails, Faves and Tips!)
    "The Dermatology tingle pads is a great way to reduce the pH of your skin before putting on your vitamin C. Vitamin C tends to work better with a lower pH, so if you want to lower and boost your vitamin C benefits, try their tingle pads. You can also use these if you're having a breakout. They're a salicylic acid pad, just sort of a basic. They're not Stridex because Stridex used to strip off our skin, but they're a great little pad to use for lowering the pH for your vitamin C or trying to help control any breakouts."

    "If you want to give your vitamin C a boost try the tingle pads. These will reduce the pH of your skin and give your vitamin C formula a boost. If you have really sensitive skin you're going to want to patch test these. If you get breakouts, this has 2% salicylic acid so it'll help reduce the redness and those breakouts and clear them up so much faster. Sometimes I'll get an occasional really deep pimple along my jawline or my cheek, so these clear them up really quickly. Boost your vitamin C with the tingle pads or just try the vitamin C formula on its own."

    "I'm going to give you a top tip on how to boost the effectiveness of this vitamin C: use their tingle pads. These are their exfoliating pads but they're quite gentle, but they do have 2% salicylic acid which will help lower the pH of your skin so that your vitamin C works better. Vitamin C works best at a lower pH. Our skin usually sits around 5 pH and this will help lower it so that you can get better results with your vitamin C. I can't do this every day because my skin can sometimes be a little sensitive, a little reactive, but on the days that my skin can tolerate it I just use one of these pads, swipe it over my face, neck and decollete, pat in my vitamin C and then move on with the rest of my skincare. I use this on clean skin. So it's a super effective way to get the most out of your vitamin C."
