Exfoliating mask.
I had the opportunity to try this mask out. The scent is more like a green tea to me. I don’t mind the texture. Although it has some great benefits. I don’t think I need to add this to my beauty regime. Once i rinse it off I can feel some tingling and my face is flushed ( with any new product this does happen) I do moisture after but I can really feel how dry it makes my face once it is rinsed off.
Leaves me red-faced
I have used many different chemical exfoliators and peels before but this one is meant to give the experience of a facial peel at the spa so it's much stronger then others.
The product comes in a sturdy glass tub making it easy to scoop the product out (I recommend using a spatula or scoop).
The peel looks like honey or syrup but has a more gel like texture to it without it being sticky at all so it spreads easily over the face.
It has a scent that is kind of like fermented apples which some people may not like but I barely noticed.
I used this in the evening as recommended. You apply the peel to your face and leave it on for up to 10 mins. It does warn in the instructions that flushing and tingling is normal and it's definitely a reaction that my skin had to it. It took a few minutes for it to happen but I could really feel the tingle and feel the burning up of my skin. Once I washed it off my skin was still very red and I could feel the heat coming off it. Because of these reactions I would definitely recommend a patch test especially for sensitive skin so you can judge whether this product is for you.
I applied a hydrating wash off mask after the peel and it really did wonders at reducing the redness and calming my skin down so I would highly encourage anyone using this peel to follow up with that type of product.
After using it my skin felt smoother so I will keep using it to see any further benefits.
Intense & effective!
I use this mask at night time; in the morning my skin looks smoother and very refreshed. This mask is intense, and does cause my skin to go a bit pink while I’m using it and for a little bit after (it’s says in the box that this normal). It has a nice thick texture which makes it very easy to apply. It’s not the most comfortable mask to wear because it’s so intense but I will definitely continue to use it because I like what it does for my skin.
I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review
full strength Exfoliating products for sure.
I think whether you need a mask like this depends a lot on how well you've taken care of your skin and where you are in life. In general, I'm fortunate not to have visible signs of aging yet st this point in my life, so I don't necessarily need a full strength exfoliating product in my life in a regular basis. This is one I would use on an as needed basis, jo more than a week. I could tell upon application that this mask is quite strong, so I only left it on my face for about 1/3 of the recommended time to avoid overdoing it and irritating my sensitive skin. I love that this is formulated with organic ingredients and that is really packs a punch. If you're used to potent AHAs and BHA's, this might be forever you. Otherwise, ensure to ease into it because damaging your skin barrier is not worth it.
A spa routine at home
Honestly, I liked the result, the texture and aroma but it leaves my skin very red and maybe the ingredients are somewhat strong but after an hour the red is disappearing! It leaves the skin, looking younger, removing stains and expression lines thanks to its main natural ingredient such as the antioxidant botanical juice extract is a perfect product for a spa routine at home.
Effective exfoliating!
This is really effective exfoliating product! From the first use my skin looks smoother. After 3 uses my pores look less noticeable and the skin tone seems a bit brighter. I will need more time to update on the dark spot or wrinkle reducing but it is really promising.
My skin is on dry side so I always follow with hydrating product.
If you are not used to peels, you may feel hot or tingle or have redness reaction so please make sure you do a patch test and start slowly. They name it “full strength” and they mean it!
Spa Grade Peel
This is a very strong face peel so be sure to do a patch test before using. I enjoy this peel because it leaves my skin super smooth and clear. I only leave this on my skin for about 5 mins and rinse it off thoroughly. I like that it has a potent patented dose of alpha hydroxy acids (malic acid from organic green apples, glycolic and lactic acids) and beta hydroxy acid (salicylic acid from willow bark).
Perfect anti-aging mask.
I love that it's formulated with organic ingredients. It has a gel texture that feels cool on the skin and a sweet fruity scent.
I can't lie when I applied this to my face and felt the tingle (even though it says on the box you may experience tingling and flushing) I was a little worried. You are supposed to leave it on for 10 minutes but after 8 minutes my husband said you might want to wash that off your face is red.
Sure enough I looked in the mirror and got a little freaked out. I rinsed it off and my skin looked like I had a sunburn. Then I started panicking and red others reviews and sure enough some others had burn like but all of them said the redness disappeared after awhile. Sure enough an hour later the redness was gone. The next morning my skin was left looking and feeling incredibly soft, smooth and glowy.
This mask uses BHA's, Bakuchiol, vitamin C and E and so many other antioxidant rich ingredients to deliver amazing anti aging results. Since some may be sensitive to BHA's you should definitely test it in an inconspicuous spot prior to your face and start out using it only once a day. I cannot speak on how this works on dark spots as I don't have any but with a full strength peel like this I imagine it would be quite effective.
Bye bye dull skin!
I love that this mask eliminates the need for a physical exfoliant. Despite getting dull, flaky skin in the winter, I don’t like using abrasive products. This avoids the damage they cause, all while still giving me smooth, glowing skin. My skin feels tight after using this, but to me that means there is hope that with repeated use, my wrinkles won’t be as noticeable!
Good Spa Grade Peel
I was excited to receive this product complimentary in exchange for my honest opinion. I loved trying a spa grade full strength peel. I didn’t mind the scent though I don’t think it smelled of apple. The gel texture went on my skin well. I left as directed 5 to 10 minutes, I did about 7 as it was my first time.
I liked how clean and smooth my skin felt afterwards. I plan on using a couple more times to see how my skin improves. I did feel tingling and have some flush ness to the skin which did subside after some time.
