Naturally Clear's formula contains the essential antioxidants white tea, pomegranate and soy, ingredients known to promote stronger, healthier skin, and a smooth, more even complexion. It removes dirt and oil with a natural cleansing system and provides an effective level of salicylic acid (1 percent) to clear up and prevent breakouts.

Naturally Clear's pads are 20 percent larger than typical acne pads and make acne treatment more convenient than before. The larger pad is easier to hold and maximizes cleaning coverage, while the corners of the triangular design allow users to get into hard-to-reach areas. Stridex's signature soft-touch, textured pad ensures deep and effective cleaning with added comfort.

Stridex: The Best Pad for Acne Treatment

Because of their simplicity and affordability, Stridex medicated acne pads have always been a good choice for active teens who seek cleansing and treatment benefits in their skincare regimen. The unique alcohol-free formula is non-drying and gentler on the skin than harsher alcohol-based formulas, reassuring teens that they can use pads frequently without over drying or irritating the skin. Additionally, pads offer teens a quick one-step process that deep cleans the skin, even removing what other facial cleansers and soaps leave behind, while a proven acne-fighter (salicylic acid) is left behind on the skin, and unclogs pores to treat and prevent breakouts.  

As the brand trusted by generations since 1959, Stridex continues to offer a variety of pad products that meet the specific acne-clearing needs of various skin types:

• New Stridex Naturally Clear (70 count): Offers the first 98.8 percent natural formula with a triple dose of antioxidants for healthier skin and a larger, triangular shaped pad.
