I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I got these but was willing to try something to even out the blotched coloring of my face. My t-zone areas were shiny with oil while my cheeks were dry. As someone who has struggled her entire adult life with acne and combination skin, it’s not easy to find a product that can even your skin tone. I used it after cleansing and it did leave my skin bright red (didn’t hurt) and I went to bed. The next morning my face was GLOWING with even coloring and no oily residue. Better yet, it WORKS especially if you have acne flare ups or derma inflammation. It literally helps to heal your skin! I use it nightly and pro tip: cut them in half or into quarters to make them last longer!
Also for anyone who struggles with acne, this, along with Agent Nateur lactic acid cleanser and Sun & Moo’s The Healer (for scars, eczema, breakouts, after dermaplaning) and Age Reverse in the morning and night has been my holy grail and the ONLY thing that has worked for me when switching to clean facial products.

I’m sure I’m not the only one tempted by the Barefaced brightening pads but I can’t bring myself to spend a chunk of money on a product that has toxic ingredients in it. When Illie brought this product to the website I was so excited and it really works! I use it a few times a week during my nightly skincare routine and my skin is so tight and bright when I wake up. I really like this product and it comes with a lot of pads. A good bang for your buck in my opinion!
