Liquid Gold contains alcohol, which is I believe is to stabilise the AHA's ( or something along those lines) which is fine apart from the face that anything with alcohol makes me horribly oily. I also don't think the Alpha H agrees with my skin when it's breaking out.
I use the F.A.B Radiance Pads every night in place of a traditional toner, the packaging states to use them in the morning as well, but personally the idea of using a chemical exfoliant before make up sounds a bit silly.
They are alcohol free but the Glycolic and Lactic acids give a good tingle on application and leaves the skin feeling really refreshed. Sometimes I use these with a moisturiser and sometimes I skip it, and let my skin breath, they don't make my skin feel tight or like I need to grab for a heavy night cream.
If you want a introduction to AHAs and the effect they an have on your skin the F.A.B Radiance Pads are a good place to start, they are a great way to incorporate some exfoliation into your daily routine.
Marks left from blemishes haven't been hanging around since I started using these and my skin looks a lot less dull and grey.
60 Pads ( a two month supply if used nightly ) costs £20 and is available from Boots or online at Feel Unique.

These sound great. I didn't get on with Liquid Gold so may give these a try. x
ReplyDeleteThe Liquid Gold is a bit overrated, it doesn't work for everyone! These are a great option though xx
DeleteThis is such a good idea and I love the fact that they already come into pads: you're getting the equal amount of product everytime. I need to assess if the glycolic concentration is enough for me to make a difference or to just purchase one day the liquid gold. This option with the pre charged pads is so appealing! :) thank you for brilliant post x
ReplyDeletep.s
1) do you apply a moisturiser after you use the pad at night
2) do you just apply every night or every other night?
3) have you had the chance to notice a difference already?
so many questions, oopsie, lol x

I do moisturise after using these not every night, but that's mainly because sometimes I'm too lazy and sometimes my skin doesn't need it. My skin is a lot brighter since using these and I don't have to use scrubs anymore xx
DeleteThese sound great, think i will have a look when I'm next in boots :)
