I honestly wasn't sure what to expect - my skincare routine fluctuates from getting really into an in-depth daily ritual to barely remembering to wash my face at night. I'm not consistent, but so far it's been OK. My only real skin complaint nearing 40 is that my skin craves moisture, especially in the winter. These are very soothing to dry skin. Initially when I opened up the container, I was surprised to see little pads that reminded me of my teens using Oxyclean pads for acne, but unlike the sting that those always brought, this provides instant cooling and a soft lingering moisture on the skin. I found it very enjoyable and though I was a little confused by the instructions to leave it in one spot and then spread, I got plenty of moisture and softness from a single pad used on my entire face. Scent is very subtle, but it is there if you are fragrance sensitive.
