cleanser pads

Most dry cleansing pads and ovals are made from 100% cotton. They are described as soft and absorbent, and often have a textured or embossed side for deeper cleansing.

Most product details advise not flushing pads; dispose of used pads in the trash. Toilet-cleaning heads specifically note they should be released into the trash and not flushed. Always follow the disposal instructions on the product packaging.

Common types include pre-soaked medicated face pads, dry cotton rounds and ovals for makeup removal and toning, individually sealed alcohol prep pads, and disposable preloaded scrubbing pads for toilet cleaning.

Medicated face pads list salicylic acid as an active ingredient. Alcohol prep pads list isopropyl alcohol as their active ingredient.

Alcohol prep pads are sold individually sealed, often in box counts (examples include 200 per box). They contain isopropyl alcohol and are used to clean and sterilize the skin.
