Q: How does this product compare to the Stridex "red box"? Both contain salicylic acid 2% but have y'all experienced similar benefit from both?
submitted by alison t - 7 years ago
A: Go with the Stridex in the red box! This Clearasil brand has alcohol in it and is heavily scented, both of which are very unnecessary and potentially irritating. Stridex in the red box is alcohol and fragrance free.
The product has garnered positive feedback for its effectiveness in treating acne, with many guests noting significant improvements in their skin within days of use. While some mention a strong scent and potential irritation, the overall consensus highlights its ability to clear breakouts and maintain skin clarity. Guests appreciate its affordability and ease of use, making it a go-to solution for various acne-related issues. Many express loyalty to the product after experiencing its benefits.

Works very quickly with consistent use!!!
I cannot praise these pads enough! After months of struggling with shoulder acne, and trying EVERYTHING, I thought nothing would work until I read reviews for this product. I absolutely was not disappointed. Consistency is key, but after only two weeks, my acne is virtually gone. I apply three times a day and have not had issues with skin drying out or being sensitive. I will absolutely be buying again.

This stuff works.
The Clearasil Rapid Rescue Pads saved me. I had what looked more than a pimple dead center of my nose. The clearasil products worked within hours. The pimple started to shrink. I had not used clearasil in years but I always remember this being a top quality products. Deep into pores is the only way to go.

Awesome!
I’ve struggled with really stubborn back acne for around 3 years and these are clearing it up so fast. I wish I would’ve tried this sooner, definitely recommend. It might be a bit harsh for my face is the only thing I would say.

Smells AWFUL
This is hands down the worst smelling product of absolutely ANY kind I've ever smelled. Why do you need to scent up skincare pads?? If you are at all sensitive to smells or even hate fake-scented products, steer very clear of this. Even if it magically made my skin perfect, I'd never use it - it's that bad. And it lingers too. Please, please don't buy it. It's trash.

Too strong fragrance
These pads are overly perfumed. Why do they make things with fragrance that is supposed to clear skin up? Fragrance is a top irritant. These smell way too strong

FAST WORKING
I LOVE this product. I typically use it if I have an occasion and I’m breaking out. Within minutes of using this product my skin is so much more calm. Great product and it’s affordable.

I think it's better for localized acne not daily all over use.
Mostly works. I don't get acne besides on my chin, and I get deep zits, and these make them go away within a few days. If you have hormonal or like teenage acne all over your face, I feel like this might not be the best option as it's quite strong. I only swipe it twice a day on my chin, and it keeps the deep zits away.
