Might be old news but nip and fab now have an "extreme night " verdin of the glycolic acid pads :) half price at boots . Used them last night and tonight and really make a difference :) 5% glycolic

*version !

Can I ask how they made a difference? I bought the Dragon's blood & the glycolic pads today, will use them tomorrow but don't know what to expect!

Definately more of a smoothing and brighten effect than the original ! Might not be good if starting a routine or if you have more sensitive skin , probably best to not use every day to start of with !
I like the original and the dragons blood , the dragons blood are better for spots and not as drying and the glycolic better for aging skin , if you use glycolic in the morning remember to use a sun screen , if you use sacylliic at night don't mix with retin A

Could I hijack briefly, please? (as you clearly know what you're talking about!)

I'm using Clinique mild clarifying lotion as an acid toner - what would you recommend as the next 'step up', IYSWIM? Pleased with results so far but if the Clinique can be improved on with something a little stronger I'd love a recommendation. I'm in my mid-forties, so wondering if the original Nip and Fab would be good?

britabroad. Pixi toner might be good for a toner. I use the original nip and fab pads in the morning and then Pixi toner at night after cleansing.

What's in the dragons blood ones?

Thanks for that Who - will take a look at Pixi.

What's the Dragon's Blood? I'm asking for dd (16), who still has a bit of acne, but very delicate, sensitive skin.

I've read the pixi one is good too :) the dragons blood are sycillic acid .. Better for spot prone skin

Brit abroad .. Have you tried a retinol ? La Roche possay redermic R is a good starter if you don't fancy retin A , good for fine lines:)

Jux .. My daughter has used the dragons blood , much kinder to skin than the clearasil pads

Excellent! Thanks, Itsall - will look out for La Roche Posay too, as haven't yet tried retinol.

Thanks, Itsall, dd wouldn't use the Clearasil pads as they were so harsh. I shall get some Dragon's Blood for her tomorrow. "Drink that!" I shall say, "It'll put hairs on yer chest!"
