Anyone else's face addicted to Nip & Fab pads?

I've been using Nip & Fab dragon's blood & Glycolic fix pads on my face most days for the past 7 months.

I've noticed that when I run out and can't get any for a few days or week....my skin goes to shit. Not spotty, just dull and lifeless. A couple of days of dragon's blood and it's back to its glowy self.

Not sure I'm entirely comfortable with my skin being so dependant / addicted to something so have slowed it down and now only use them every other day or so (boo)

Anyone else?

havalina it's the Nip&Fab pads! They have them in Boots and Superdrug (and their own website). The main pads are the dragons blood ones (salicylic acid) and the glycolic fix ones (there's the normal glycolic fix and then the extreme ones). I use them as an acid toner and I find they really help exfoliate my skin and look brighter and more glowy. I have an 11 month old and a 2.11 month old so need all the help I can get and I find these absolutely brilliant. They're a good place to start if you want to try out acid toning as they aren't too strong, IMO most people don't need strong acids on their skin anyway

I like them well enough, but actually think the Olay acid toner is better (for about £3 a bottle!) and Liquid Gold did diddley squat for me when I tried it about 3 years ago (appreciate it might be a different thingy people rave about now, I see they have quite a range)

I have bought the Dragon's Blood serum to try. Although the new souped up Lift and Luminate is getting my top marks at the mo!

I'm a recent convert!

I use the Glycolic extreme pads two nights a week, followed by a facial oil and a microdermabrasion scrub (boots botanics). My skin looks better than it has in years!

ThenLater Which is the Olay one? I keep seeing people mention it but to be honest they have SO MANY PRODUCTS I lose all interest when I'm in Boots.

I've had the extreme glycolic pads which were good.

I was going to repurchase but I've been told about a great affordable brand on a FB group so I've just bought some of that!

Hey, Nabootique! It's this one....salicylic not high in the ingredients, but I really really like it. Dd is using it on her thingy and it seems to be smoothing that out too!

Thanks! That looks good. I've been looking for a milder salicylic, other than the Nip+Fab Dragons Blood. I use a strong one on my bumpy chicken skin upper arms Grin

I think the dragon's blood pads are £5 in boots atm.

BingBongBingBong thank you!! I'll look into it all now! I've got a 2.9yo and a 12mo and I'm fried! Thanks Smile

I just searched Tesco app for Nip + Fab. All it can offer me is yoghurt and dips. I don't think they will have quite the effect I want if I swipe them on at night.

The normal strength nip+fab pads are great as is Pixii toner (available in M&S now). I have the extra strong nip+fab night time pads but I am scared to use them.
