This was MUCH more effective than I anticipatedv - I am used to westerd pads which are bland and dry and don't really do anything, totally unlike these!

These pack a punch - every single pad is very moist and the product on it's strong and effective, after I swipe it across my skin I can feel it working on my problems areas. I wouln't say it's irritating or too strong, it smells harsher than it actually is.

I would caution to avoid the eye area.
