For a little less than the last fifty days, I’ve been using Trader Joe’s Spa Natural Facial Cleansing Pads. I say fifty because it comes 50 per pack and I aimed to use it once daily before bed but some days I went a little crazy and used two (I’m a rebel!). Anyway, I stumbled across these pads while shopping for some of my most coveted Trader Joe’s products (see the Brownie Truffle Mix and the Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner).
I don’t know if any of you have experienced more consistent forehead breakouts after you began using more oils (and heavier ones) in your hair care regimen. For me that has definitely been the case and I had to do something to curb the increasing amount of pimples and blackheads that started to creep onto my face. No bueno.
The primary ingredient in the pads is witch hazel which has a variety of topical uses. Witch hazel is an effective natural astringent that helps mitigate acne, psoriasis and eczema. Not too shabby! In my experience with the product, I enjoyed it and didn’t observe any breakouts despite my regular use of oils on my hair and scalp. The muddy color of these pads post use was an indication that they did their job pretty well. Yeah, it ‘s gross but true!
I will warn you, these pads do have a quite a bit of zing to them so be careful around your eyes. I think it even made my nose hairs quiver a bit when I got too close on a few occasions. Lesson learned! Now that I’m out, I’m tempted to run a little experiment and not re-purchase for a little while and observe any changes in my complexion in the coming weeks. But then again, I don’t know if I’m up for the challenge.
Have you tried them? What do you think?
Wow! TJ’s has all kinds of lil trinkets and surprises, huh?? Another item that I need to add to my list when I go back!!!
I use witch hazel all the time! The smell is a bit of a turnoff for some. Did these have a smell? May have to investigate on my next trip to TJ
great review!
Oh yes! The smell was strong although I could not decipher it was from the alcohol or the witch hazel (or a combination of the two). Thanks for reading!
Yes, it’s über annoying when hair products migrate to your face! I’ve been using Clean & Clear foaming facial cleanser (for sensitive skin). The Trader Joe cleansing pads seem pretty convenient, so I might give this a try. Would you consider your skin sensitive or average?
I would say my skin is pretty sensitive in general and I didn’t have any problems with these pads. They worked out pretty nicely.

My skin is already very oily. Just because of oil, pimples start oozing out. I definitely need it.
