i have dehydrated, acne prone, combination skin and this pads help me with break outs, i usually take my time and leave it a little longer in my skin, it helps reduce the size of pimples and prevent little bumps on getting bigger. i don't use it everyday because i'm poor xd but if i did i think it will work better on preventing acne, it is a little bit drying but with others hydrating products it works fine
