Do you wipe the pad once across your face or use it til it dries out? Does it require neutralizer?

I have been using glycolic acid peels since my mid 20s & am now 38 for "preventative" measures. I used neutralizers for awhile then found out that some baking soda mixed with water IS a neutralizer! This seems to work for me & saves me $$ as well. Never had a problem. Feel free to speak to a pro though. ;-)

it usually takes 2-3 pads each time I do it. I go over the same area more than once to make sure it is covered well. You rinse with cool water after a minute or 2 which neutralizes it.

I used the pad till all the moisture was out and I didn't use a neutralizer. But I suggest you speak with a representative. Marie M

Since I only use this product after I've washed my face clean, spraying alcohol from a spray bottle and rinsing in water seems to be enough to clean this off. Then I air dry and replace back in the container it came in.

I would wear a small pad just in case for a day or two but this isn't messy like the creams out there. Also, this is probably the only product out there that really works. For a real troublesome problem, I would use it a second time to eradicate it. Hope this helps

Actually putting a pea sized circle of water on the pad (with unit turned OFF) and rubbing it in is exactly how you can reactivate the stickiness to prolong the use of the pads rather than buying new ones right away. I have used one for over 11 years and have always done this - in fact it is what my instructions say to do.

None. Just a hot towel. You do not want to use this shaver on a wet or over moisturized face, it will gum up the blades. Use on a dry face. I personally follow my face up with Andis Cool Care Bump Stop Aftershave, let dry and apply Nivea Extra Moisturizing Aftershave Lotion. I use individualized products for my clients. Hope this helps!

Im not sure I am the best one to answer: I have not used this every day. But I have sometimes rinsed it in hot water or washed off the pad with soap and water. I have not replaced it at all. It is doiing fine for me. If worried, I might clean it with a stronger detergent or maybe rinse with alcohol or something. I guess if it got too grungy I would replace it, but that has not happened so far. As I say, I may not be the best person to answer this question. In any case I am happy with it.

I usually use it after I cleansed my face w/ hypoallergenic facial creme. Make sure that you wipe w/ alcohol before and after use. There's no instruction on the frequency of the use, but w/ me, when I have a zit, I use it almost every night and its really effective.

I empty any excess water after using it. I wash the outside with dish soap and warm water, then dry with a microfiber towel. If necessary, use Cameo, a stainless steel cleanser.

You want to get pad damp first prior to putting on. It heats pretty fast but if you wanna wait a minute or two that's fine. I normally just start right away.

I wet my face first. Depends on your cleanser too. I use a gel cleanser so wetting the race helps distribute the cleanser.

Yes. You will just have to clean the pad and then reapply this gel. There is some residue from the gel but worth the savings since it washes off the skin easily with water.

You get 1 pad on the stick, no multiples. The pad itself is hard and doesn't allow lotion to soak in to it. Yes, it can be lightly rinsed but I wouldn't recommend scrubbing with lots of soap - there's no need to use soap. I've used mine for months and it's still in excellent condition - no residue from lotions at all.

I find that you can re-use the pads several times before replacement if you moisten your finger and lightly rub the pad a few times before using it again. I do find it necessary to rub off the skin area with alcohol to clean off all gel before re-applying new gel. Remember...a little goes a LONG way and it is really needed for good conductivity.

I agree with "Sgt Press's" answer. I usually soak the pad first in color safe Clorox, and/or also use a pre-treat spray. I wash the pads with other items, just avoid items as suggested that have loose fibers.

I simply apply straight to my clean face. A cotton pad seems like it would waist the product, but that is just my opinion. Hope that helps.

Depends on how much you use. I use a small drop & put it on my face & use an exfoliating wipe

I don't dilute it, I paint it directly on with a fan brush and leave it on for as long as I can stand it. When I first started using it, that was one minute or so. Now my skin can handle leaving it on for 3 or 4 minutes. Then rinse it off with really cold water until it doesn't burn anymore, and I usually put a cold washcloth in the freezer for a few minutes and hold that on my face afterwards too.
