I'm a few weeks post-use of this Nature Republic Aloe Vera Peeling Foot Mask and my feet definitely peeled, more so than the other foot masks I've used. First Impressions: getting into the product wasn't as straight forward as other foot masks I've used and the booties didn't self-seal. This made moving around impossible (you aren't supposed to move, but still). I actually ended up pouring some of the liquid all over myself when I forgot they weren't sealed. How I used it: 1) I soaked my feet in water for about 30 minutes before use 2) left it on for an hour (package said could be used up to 1.5 hours). 4 days later my feet began to peel and I wore socks and runners every day for the next 3 days. Results: I'm happy with the results. The peel got most of the tough skin on my feet nice and soft although calluses on my heels remain. One thing to notes is that it also dyed the nail polish on my feet, which is a big indicator of how strong this chemical mix is. -

This mask was stronger than most of what I was using when I first purchased and I had limited experience with AHAs. I get acne flare ups and I knew the AHAs could help with breakouts. Plus it is well priced. Here's how I use it: 1) post-cleanse, I slather this on (it is a thicker cream consistency and smells divine) and leave for 10 minutes (definitely start with 3 min if you are new to AHAs). 2) remove with hot water. I especially like this mask for hormonal acne and tend to use it 1 or 2x a week around my period. Oh, and the packaging is beautiful, so it looks great in a shelfie! -

I have combination skin that is very acne prone and if I wear foundation or most CC creams for a day I tend to break out no matter how well I cleanse after. Not so with this CC cream. I love this CC Cream for every day; I just throw it on, blend with fingers, and go. For fancy events, I follow three steps: 1) Pore filler followed by a primer. 2) Slather this on all over my face and then blend with my fingers (cheeks, forehead, chin) and beauty blender (nose, under the eyes). 3) continue with blush, highlighter, etc. I've included a photo that shows the full look. -

(I have combination, acne-pone skin). When I first used this serum on its own, my skin became very oily and very congested - this could be due to any number of things (allergies, changing seasons) but I wasn't willing to take the chance. So now I've been adding 2 drops directly to another serum, mixing in my hand and patting the combination all over my face and neck after my toner in the morning. I've also heard you can mix with your moisturizer or pat into skin after your moisturizer. So far, I've been pleased with the results. It is too early to say if it will help long-term, but I am enjoying the boost of radiance to my aging skin. I also love the smell and the feel of this thicker serum is so smooth. -

I started using the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum a couple years ago when I purchased it with Ole's 'Three Little Wonders' set at Sephora. I was looking for something to "improve skin radiance" that wouldn't cause me to breakout and this 100% fit the bill. It also has anti-aging properties, which made it a great all-around workhorse. I use it after my toner and always let it rest for a few minutes before layering on my moisturizer. Results: My skin looks great with a natural glow and I often get complemented on my skin for the natural glow. Most importantly for anyone that has struggled with acne - I feel confident. I find this product to be very light and goes on very liquidy. Note: It can be tacky if you don't let it fully dry or use too much at once. Use a half pump or spread onto neck :) -
