Hi Lykkers! Anyone here who feels lazy to exfoliate because it seems like an extra step? I used to feel the same way too. But after trying these two exfoliating pads, my routine became much easier and I started exfoliating more consistently.

Here are my thoughts on both products!

1. Stridex 2% SA Pads

Stridex contains 2% Salicylic Acid (SA), which is one of the highest concentrations allowed in over-the-counter skincare products without a prescription. In my experience, this pad works really well for helping with breakouts and clogged pores. The exfoliating effect feels noticeable, and it helps keep my skin looking clearer. However, if I don’t balance it with enough moisturizer, my skin can feel dry afterward. So, hydration is definitely important when using this product.

2. Bellamonster Stress Out Solution Pad

Compared to Stridex, Bellamonster Stress Out Solution Pad has a different feel. The essence is not as rich as Stridex, but it still gives a nice moisturizing effect and doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry. The pads feel comfortable to use and are a good option if you want something gentler for regular exfoliation. However, when it comes to dealing with stubborn skin concerns, I find Stridex gives a stronger exfoliating result.

These two exfoliating pads have their own strengths. Stridex is the stronger option if you need something that targets acne and clogged pores, while Bellamonster feels more comfortable for those who prefer a hydrating exfoliating step. For me, Stridex works better when my skin needs extra care, but Bellamonster is a nice choice when I want exfoliation without making my skin feel too dry.
