I have become confused on what exactly the point of this product is. I saw some feedback on people who use it as a cleanser on those days where you want to "rush" off or just go to bed without washing your face, but this makes no sense to me. These pads are astringent toner pads, not cleanser pads. They will not provide you with a cleanse, that is why on the directions it says use after cleansing, but before moisturizer. If you wash your face then use these pads it will not make your skin dry, but rather kind of sticky. If you try and put any sort of moisturizer on after the pads it will make your face look disgusting. Like you haven't showered in about 2 days, very greasy. I attempted to use just the pads and no moisturizer, but my face just looked oily and felt very sticky. Now I think girls like a man with a nice smooth face, not one that feels dirty. I shave everyday so I expect that smooth feeling day in and day out, and that is exactly what I had before these pads. I stumbled upon this item when doing a search for a good toner and saw all the fantastic reviews so I purchased them, what a mistake. I stopped using them yesterday and my skin is back to being a little dry and I actually don't mind it. Much better than looking dirty and oily. I will say on the plus that these pads don't burn at all even when used after shaving, for those who care I shave with a DE feather blade which can be very harsh on skin, and it helps with razor burn on the neck by healing it faster. This is when the ingredient witch hazel comes into play (ingredient in the product). That's the only plus I have to mention about these pads. I really have no idea where the target market for this product is, as I can only image what it would do for someone with oily skin or normal skin (my skin is very dry). Pads cover the entire face and neck with no problems, just be sure to flip the pad over half way through so you get the most out of the pads.
