Like other reviewers, I thought this product worked very well on my extremely sensitive, dry, and yet acne-prone skin. I had the same problem though of having the pads dry out (as I didn’t need/couldn’t tolerate using it every day or want to spend $72/month.) When I went to order more, I noticed that for an additional $3 they sell a 30 day supply of individually wrapped “travel packettes” (search for “MD Skincare alpha beta peel”.) Besides solving the drying out problem, this also saves the $1.20 lost each time I inadvertently used 2 pads at once (they stick together quite easily…)

I have been using this product for about three months now. At first, it really seemed to be making my skin tone more clear and radiant. But my main problem is oily skin and adult acne (which is worse at 37 than it was at 17). And MD hasn’t helped that at all. My skin is still an oil slick, and I still get frequent breakouts. Dealing with my breakouts has started to really tick me off now that I am spending around $100 a month on the MD skincare system, versus the $10.00 or so I used to spend on Neutrogena or the like. But to give MD credit, I have cruddy skin – large pores, oily all over, etc. I like the clean feeling the pads give me but it just doesn’t seem worth the cost anymore. So I am moving on. Going to try Nucelle.

(My skin is acne prone, and once I get a pimple it takes a week or more to clear up on its own. I have an oily forehead and nose and dry cheeks and chin, with all my breakouts occurring on my cheeks.)
I use this product every day. After the very first time of using it, my skin was satiny smooth in texture, save for the few pimples I already had. I pair this with Neutrogena’s anti-acne/anti-wrinkle moisturizer that has salicylic acid and Retinol. For spot treatments on my blemishes, I use a Zeno device (seriously, if you have acne, invest in this wonder!) and sometimes a gylcolic acid solution.
The smell of this product is really nice. Step One usually causes my face to burn and tingle a little bit, especially near my eyes, but that sensation is gone once I use Step Two (the neutralizing step). I didn’t have much trouble using the product. Sometimes the pad wads up and makes it hard to use in a circular motion. You do have to be careful to make sure you aren’t taking out two pads at once, though, as they stick together frequently.
I would suggest buying the travel packettes, like someone else said. Aside from the “won’t dry out in the jar” factor, the two jars are smallish, but are kind of bulky for travel and it would be way easier to just have the number of packets you needed for the trip.

I’ve been using this product for almost a month now. After cleansing with Aveeno Positively Radiant cream I use these pads. At first I was afraid the acid might inflame the rosacea on my cheeks, but it has not done so and some internet research I have done indicates that glycolic acid is actually good for rosacea. I have found that I no longer have to use the Neutrogena microdermabrasion system to keep my face smooth, and that my pores look smaller. My research indicates that the step 1, the “Peel” (misnomer, it is not a peel and your skin does not peel off) step has the proper pH for the glycolic acid to be effective. HOWEVER, Paula Begoun has written that the step 2 does not have the proper pH. I’d like to see someone else make a similar and cheaper product, and create a step 2 with a proper pH. If the price was only half as much I’d give it 5 stars.

I was worried about using a peel every day, and spending $75 per month on it, so I only used it two or three times per week. One supply ended up lasting three months, and I didnt have any trouble with the pads drying out. I kept them tightly sealed, and we live in a temperate climate, so maybe that helped. The difference it made to my skin was immediate and wonderful. I have a nagging rash like problem on my forehead and cheeks due to a yeast allergy (yes, I’m allergic to my own skin!) and this product made it completely disappear as it eliminated the build up of old skin cells. My previously troubled skin was quite glowing. Very pleased and will continue to use this.
