Stridex Medicated Acne Pads Maximum – 2% Salicylic Acid, Alcohol-Free, 55 Count

Overview

Stridex Maximum Pads offer a powerful cleansing action with a dermatologist-friendly balance. Each pad delivers 2% salicylic acid—the highest strength available over the counter—paired with a textured surface that helps remove dirt, oil, and sweat from the skin surface and penetrate toward pores. The 55-count box keeps you equipped for your daily routine, helping you stay consistent. The formula is alcohol-free, designed to minimize irritation while delivering proven acne-fighting ingredients.

What makes Stridex Maximum Pads stand out

• ACNE-TARGETING ACTION: The maximum-strength 2% salicylic acid supports the cleansing process and may help prevent new pimples and blackheads.
• TEXTURED PADS FOR EVERYDAY USE: The pads are designed for both a gentle wipe and a light scrub, depending on your preference.
• ALCOHOL-FREE FORMULA: No added alcohol means a gentler feel while still providing cleansing and acne-fighting ingredients.

How to use

• Cleanse your face with your usual wash, then pat dry.
• Swipe the pad over the entire affected area with a thin layer, avoiding the eyes.
• Begin with once daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or directed by a clinician.
• Wash hands after use and follow with your moisturizer if desired.

Real-life use scenarios

For quick daily cleansing, a morning routine can benefit from a refreshing, non-irritating wipe before starting your day. After workouts or busy days, these pads offer a fast cleansing option that fits into your schedule. The textured surface gives you flexibility—use it for a light wipe or a gentle scrub based on how your skin feels.

While results vary, many users appreciate a smoother feel and reduced shine as part of a regular cleansing routine. Stridex Maximum Pads are designed to support a cleansing step in moderate acne routines without relying on alcohol-based formulations.
