these pads are very different than anything i ever used before, and at first i wasn't sure i liked them. but, once i gave them a chance, i love them. they are very soothing, healing and are not just cleansing but moisturizing and leave my skin looking great. i use them at night, and leave any excess oil on my skin, and apply any creams over it and the next day my skin really looks great, i love the argan oil. don't let the oil scare you, the oil is great for your skin, even if your skin is oily.
