Nip n Fab glyco pads

Any good ?

I have normal, good skin (no spots, blackheads etc or lines) but I'd like an exfoliator that is not a scrub .

Are the gentle version ok and do they not irritate? Are they worth the cost? Ocado have a good offer on at the moment so might try.

I git some in a beauty box and really liked them - my skin seemed instantly brighter. I’ve since bought some on special offer at Superdrug and think they’re worth it as a bargain but I probably wouldn’t pay full price.

I had such a bad reaction to them. Bought in about April, used maybe 4 times, only just got my skin back to normal. Was hyper-sensitive, red, flaky, sore. If your skin ever has a reaction, I would avoid.

Love them. I cut them in half. Last twice as long, work just as well.

Love them - I only use one side at a time and they last ages. The pads are very well-soaked. Skin looks smoother.

i love them too. I use after my cleansing balm....its surprising how much more grime still comes off with them! I only buy when on offer though, usually at Superdrug. Great idea about cutting them in half @Bonzo77!

Yes, they are good. You need to ensure you wear a good facial sunscreen after using them, though.

I use Superdrug Naturally Radiant toner. I have dry skin and these have been brilliant! No more flakes nor the odd spot.

My 14 yr old DD uses it too and all her spots have vanished. She had bad spots on her forehead

Aldi sometimes have a dupe in that is a fraction of the price and just as good - they're called glycolic pads or similar.

Aldi have them now! I've just bought for the first time. Bargain!

I have very sensitive skin and love the Nip + Fab sensitive ones. I use their post-glycolic fix moisturiser afterwards as well. I previously tried a similar one from Avon and my skin reacted badly to it so going to be sticking with Nip + Fab.

I started using these about 2 months ago and LOVE them. They cleared up my spots and skin is definitely smoother and brighter. I also use their blurring shot and then when I went to replace the pads at the weekend they were on 2 for £18 so I got their pore refining serum so using that now too!

I love them, always buy half price at Superdrug when on offer.

picklemepopcorn that's great that Aldi have theirs in now, I've used those too and they are good, just not as wet as the Nip+Fab ones. I've run out and was going to get some new ones.

I like them, but they’re £££ so keep you’re eye on the 2 for 1 offer in Superdrug.

The Aldi ones were fine, I can’t believe they got away with ripping off the branding. It’s exaclty the same.

I use the Aldi ones. Only £2.49 and just as good. In stock currently so have bought 5 packs to last me 10 months!

I came on here looking for feedback on the Aldi ones after I got sucked into the Centre Aisle of Wonder earlier. Just swiped face with them this evening so I'm expecting great things in the morning Grin

Seriously though, if they're as good, that's an astounding saving! Like pp though, I have no idea how they've got away with the branding...

I use the regular Nip+Fab Glycolic pads in the morning and the Dragon's Blood pads at night time. They didn't have the light glycolic when I started using them but I've never had any trouble with them and I have very sensitive skin. If you register on the Nip+Fab website they'll email you when they have offers, I generally buy the pads for £5 each when they're on offer. The Dragon's Blood serum is a wonder too if you have older skin, I use it in the morning and it plumps out my wrinkles.

They did nothing for me but I love the dragon's blood pads. They make my skin look brighter and better. I'll have to try the serum.

I love the dragons blood serum too. Great stuff. I don't use the glycolic pads every day, every other day is enough I find.

I just picked up two tubs of the Aldi ones last night, as they are such a bargain. I will try the Superdrug naturally radiant ones too, as that is the brand of skincare I use anyway.
