Editor Review

Rated a 7

This pricey, at-home "peel" sets the bar high by claiming to "solve every skincare concern." Packaging is genius; pre-soaked pads (think Stridex) are nestled in sleek jars marked "Step 1" and "Step 2." But the required two-minute wait between steps sucks the fun out of daily application. While the peel did "improve tone, texture and clarity" enough to make me want to skip makeup, it didn't solve my every concern. Brownie points for being available in air-travel friendly packs.

    Pricey, but a good product

    by Retrodiva (144 reviews)
    Top 100 ReviewerTotal Beauty BloggerTrusted Review
    I think I might be addicted to facial peels. A large part of my skin care routine is dedicated to the art and science of exfoliation, and I love trying out new ones. This product makes it very simple - two premoistened pads, one with the peel, and one with the neutralizing solution. Wipe the peel on first, let it sit for tw...o minutes, then wipe with the neutralizing pad. Simple! What is really nice about this product versus what I've tried from drugstore brands is that it doesn't feel quite as harsh on the face. No awful "tight face" feel, even before moisturizer. My skin felt firmer and more healthy, so while I think the price is a bit on the high side, I do think it's a superior product. January 26, 2008, 11:49 am

    This will be a classic product

    by Amina65 (6 reviews)
    I first used these pads 2 years ago when I turned 40 and I loved them! I go the dermatologist several times a year for maintenance treatments like laser therapy to get rid of redness. And in between, I use these; they never irritate. In fact, my skin looks smoother, cleaner and almost perfect. I don’t wear foundation ...and avoid the sun like the plague. Now I’m 42 years old, I don’t have any wrinkles or brown spots yet and I’m convinced that it’s because of the ingredients in these pads (that and sun avoidance!). I use them at night so that my skin isn’t exposed to sunlight immediately after putting the hydroxy acids on my face. I didn’t give them a “10” simply because they are a bit pricey.

    Best for exfoliation & more

    by Toveracre (13 reviews)
    I've tried so many things out there and I keep coming back to this. A simple 2 step system that makes my skin feel super smooth. I use it as an treatment every few days or if I am just in the mood for a pampering. If you use it occasionally then I recommend getting the travel packets so they do not dry out over very long... periods of time October 19, 2007, 8:13 pm

    Beautiful After Glow!!!

    by Langulo (21 reviews)
    Trusted Review
    I love how this stuff makes your face glow after applying it. Yes, you do have to have pretty tough skin, not recommended for sensitive skin. It's a little pricey but well worth it and same results when compared to professional ones. I use it at night and wake up to a nice glow and refreshed face. April 2, 2008, 12:30 pm

    Surprisingly great!

    by crisn11 (9 reviews)
    I have normal/dry sensitive skin. i don't really break out at all and I don't wear foundation. I just turned 30 and my skin was looking a little dull. Exfoliation scrubs do not work for me.. they are to harsh or they make me break out. I have been usuing this and my skin glows. I am a big fan of dewy glowing skin and my ski...n has never looked better. I do not use daily though. I use every other day or every 2 days. April 1, 2008, 7:56 pm

    pretty good at home chem peel

    by ajfurman (3 reviews)
    A few yrs ago, I treated myself to a trip to an exclusive spa in VT and they used this face peel on my skin (i.e., presumably, the professional strength version). At the time, my skin was stressed from acne and very oily. I can honestly say that the product did visibly improve my skins appearance: reduced pores, less oil, c...ontrolled acne. The one downer: it's very strong so it does burn when you put it on, esp if you're sensitive to alpha hydroxy. I was still able to use it but I did limit it to every other day.

    too strong for very sensitive skin

    by mommy2meg (8 reviews)
    The first time I used these my skin looked great! Just a little red but my skin was very smooth and pores were alot smaller.After the 2nd treatment I had too much irritation.My whole face was bright red.These pads are too strong for daily use if you have very sensitive skin.I'll try weekly treatments.I was also given a good... tip...if you are planning on using these weekly instead of daily,buy the individually wrapped ones,they don't dry out like the one's that come in the jars.

    Great for daily exfoliation

    by shogirl (3 reviews)
    This is great for everyday use. You will not get "peel" results. Is is simple and easy to use, but too expensive for just a daily exfoliator. I suffer from adult acne, and this really helped keep it at bay, for a while. After my second set, my skin adjusted and the product quit working for me. December 3, 2007, 12:25 pm

    part of my daily regime

    by misswiss (7 reviews)
    i first used these about 2 years ago, then stopped for a while because they are sort of pricey. i could see the difference in less than a month. so i went and bought them again and now i use them religiously. they make a huge difference in my over-40 skin, which is still very oily and break-out prone if i don't exfoliate.... my skin is much clearer, less prone to hormonal break-outs and they keep any spots that are threatening to erupt at bay.
