Great exfoliant
I went on an exfoliator mission. I got so many samples from Sephora trying all different kinds. This one was definitely my favourite. The minute you start to put it on, you will see and feel little chunks piling up. I was doubtful that it was skin at first (I thought it was something with the product making it do that so you would think it was working), however my skin looked and felt great afterwards so it definitely worked. It doesn't dry out of my skin either which a lot of other exfoliators do. I love it. The only thing I don't like is that the brand is not cruelty-free.
I can honestly say I find this peel fun. While I'm not sure how effective it is and it is pricey enough, I enjoy adding this to my beauty regimen. I do feel a lot cleaner and clear once I have done this and it leaves my skin soft and smooth. An enjoyable experience!
Takes a couple times to start seeing results, but also works better when you put a hot cloth on your face first to open your pores then apply the gel right after
I read a few reviews before actually using this product. From others experience, I was afraid of the balls of gel that from during the peel. Some said that they were impossible to get off. So I first applied the gel peel on dry skin, that I hadn't cleansed (washed + moisturized about 6 hours earlier).
This gel peel is supposed to be a very gentle chemical peel, as you massage it over your face, some of it thickens and forms small sticky balls that pick up your dead skin... So! The first time I used this on unwashed skin, the sticky balls ACTUALLY did pick up dead skin and the balls were a much darker in color than the 2nd time I tried it. it was very easy to rinse off and didn't stick to facial fuzz. 2nd time I used it on washed skin, the little balls that formed, were actually white. So I know that it does what it claims to do. The balls may not be entirely all dead skin, but the sticky balls PICKUP/exfoliate dead skin. It did stick a little to facial fuzz this time. But it didn't take more that an additional 30seconds of rinsing, just cupping a little more warm water over my face, not just lightly splashing my face.
The peel left my skin smooth and feeling very clean. Not sure about the firming/lifting effects it claims to have, I didn't notice anything major immediately. I do like this product and will continue to use. A little goes a long way!
