This was included in my second Nip+Fab purchase along with the Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme after I quickly realized the Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads, which I've also reviewed here, were working. I love this stuff. The price is great for a drugstore product that works so well. I purchased mine at Shopper's Drug Mart (Canada), they sometimes have sales. I have not seen Nip+Fab sold anywhere else in the Greater Toronto Area. The packaging is excellent. I massage a dime-sized amount of this into my face and neck every night after using the previously mentioned pads. I feel it is an excellent addition to the pads and helps the entire process move along faster. I read many reviews before purchasing that mentioned a fishy smell, and that is true. It has a noticeable fishy scent upon application and for a few minutes afterwards but dissipates fairly quickly. It doesn't bother me at all but fragrance never bothers me. If you are sensitive to such things, or ashamed to smell funny around your new lover (lol) it could very easily bother you. It also feels a bit sticky after it absorbs which is why it's best used at night. It probably has too much glycolic acid to use it during the day, anyway. You must wash your hands after application, due to the stickiness. You must also apply sunscreen the morning after, as with any glycolic acid treatment! which I forgot to mention in my other Glycolic Fix reviews. Anyway, Nip+Fab claims this product increases cell turnover to exfoliate the skin, helps fade discolouration, unclogs pores to help tackle black heads and reduce blemishes, and acts as an anti-inflammatory on the skin. I agree with everything wholeheartedly except it doesn't reduce my blemishes or act as an anti-inflammatory. I HIGHLY recommend the Glycolic Fix line for anyone with texture issues! Note that my results are based on using the Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads, Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme and Glycolic Fix Overnight Purifying Gel together. Finally, will I repurchase, and do I recommend? Definitely. I intend to try more of their products as well. -

These were my second Nip+Fab purchase after I quickly realized the less potent version of these, which I've also reviewed here (Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads) were working. I feel using an extreme pad rather than the normal pad every two days helped me achieve results even faster. The price is great for a drugstore product that works so well and has a high end feel. I purchased mine at Shopper's Drug Mart (Canada), they sometimes have sales. I have not seen Nip+Fab sold anywhere else in the Greater Toronto Area. The packaging is excellent. Eventually the pads on top may begin to dry out, but storing the jar upside down just for a few days completely solves this problem. I've been using these once every two nights for 2-3 months, albeit not religiously. I am still trying to figure out exactly how often I should use them for the best results. As for Nip+Fab's claims - Do these refine pores and brighten the complexion? Yes, I am bright and near poreless! Do they de-congest the skin? To a point - They do get rid of dead skin but I have two DEEP recurring zits that have not improved whatsoever. They do gently exfoliate the skin. Do they help fade discolouration in the face (acne scarring, pigmentation)? Again, yes to a point. Not completely, however I stopped being consistent after a month or so. May work well on brand new scars with consistent treatment, or it could just be me as everyone's skin differs. Does the salicylic acid penetrate into and unclog pores helping to combat black heads and reduce blemishes? I didn't have many blackheads to begin with but yes, I now have absolutely none. However, so far I don't feel it reduces, helps or soothes blemishes. Does the lactic acid remove dead cells and toxins from the skin for a smoother and more even toned surface? Yes, that deep down clean feeling for the most part and the only bumps left on my face are breakouts when they happen. Highly recommend for texture issues! Does the hyaluronic acid improve skin hydration and keep skin feeling soft and plump? Yes, I no longer have dry patches ever, and my skin is always soft and plump since I started Nip+Fab. Note that my results are based on using the Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads, Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme and Glycolic Fix Overnight Purifying Gel together. Finally, will I repurchase, and do I recommend? Definitely. -

These were my first Nip+Fab purchase after my boyfriend asked why my skin was looking so bumpy, LOL the horror! The price is great for a drugstore product that works so well and has a high end feel. I purchased mine at Shopper's Drug Mart (Canada), they sometimes have sales. I have not seen Nip+Fab sold anywhere else in the Greater Toronto Area. The packaging is excellent. Eventually the pads on top may begin to dry out, but storing the jar upside down just for a few days completely solves this problem. I've been using these once a day in the evening for 2-3 months, albeit not religiously. I was shocked to notice a slight difference the morning after my first use, my skin was slightly smoother and brighter, and my fine lines even looked a little better. As for Nip+Fab's claims - Do these pads unveil younger looking skin? Yes, they have helped my fine lines significantly and even laugh lines a bit! Do they retexture and resurface? YES. I highly recommend these for anyone with texture issues. Do they tone? Yes. Are they moisturising? Absolutely, they do not dry out my combination skin whatsoever. Do they reveal brighter and smoother looking skin? YES! My skin not only looks smoother but feels smoother and is significantly brighter. However, it sadly does not help prevent my breakouts or be rid of them any faster, or soothe/calm them. But the only bumps left on my face are zits when I breakout from Aunt Flo or whatever. I read a lot of reviews saying they were amazing for acne scars, but I am disappointed on that front - They did reduce my somewhat new scars quite a bit but not completely, however as I mentioned I stopped being consistent after a month or so. Maybe it works well on brand new scars with consistent treatment, or it could just be me as everyone's skin is different. Also note that I quickly added the extreme version of these pads (Glycolic Fix Night Pads Extreme) and the Glycolic Fix Overnight Purifying Gel to my routine so my results are based on all three. Finally, will I repurchase, and do I recommend? Definitely. -
