Arcona Raspberry Clarifying Pads Info & Review:
Powerful blemish-reducing toner in a convenient cotton pad which helps clear congested skin and prevent stubborn breakouts and the formation of comedones. Dissolves skin impurities and gently exfoliates with salicylic acid. Cleanses and reduces enlarged pores with naturally antiseptic witch hazel. Combats breakouts with totara and tea tree extracts. Protect and clarify skin with antimicrobial raspberry extract, containing high concentrations of vitamins, phytonutrients and flavonoids.
First, I have to comment on the scent of these pads; they smell like raspberries - which is refreshing when so many skincare products can have an off/non-pleasant scent. Of course there is a toner like smell too, but mostly raspberry scented. But besides the scent, do they work? Absolutely! At least for me they do. You can use these morning and/or night, and you don't even need to use them on a daily basis if you don't want to. I don't use these every single day but still benefit from them when I do pull them out. When my breakouts start up (that time of the month), this is a great product to use morning and night to help them stay under control and disappear faster.
Each pad is soaked with product, so you have more than enough to do your entire face and neck. Unlike some toners, there is no irritation to my face when using these. No stinging or burning. They just feel refreshing and after my face feels really clean and to me, my face even feels softer.
Overall, I really like these pads. They would make a great addition to your skincare routine if you have problematic skin (or just want an extra helper if you have time-of-the-month breakouts).
