Good, but there are stronger, cheaper alternatives
Glycolic acid has become my friend over the past handful of months. And for someone like me with uneven skin tone due to acne scars and hyper-pigmentation, using this peel twice a week has really helped in slowly resurfacing my skin. Really, there is nothing 'wrong' with the product, but I feel I can only honestly give it 3 stars due to the fact that like many over-the-counter type peels, I do find it very weak (only 10% glycolic acid), and frankly, there are other, comparable facial peels, such as Nip + Fab's Glycolic Fix Mask that does the exact same job for a fraction of the price. I adore Ole Henriksen products, but this is one that I probably would not purchase again, knowing that there are cheaper and equally-effective alternatives.
First time using this product it burned. After 10 seconds or so it was fine. My skin looked polished afterwards and seemed as though a bit tighter. It is something I do once a week
I originally bought this product to help even out my skin tone and get rid of the little bumps around chin. Unfortunately it didn't help get rid of the little bumps, but I do think it helped even out my skin tone. Also once I wash it off my face feels amazingly smooth! I don't get a burning sensation from this, but I also do not have sensitive skin. It is a little pricey, but I think it's worth it!
I really liked this! I was worried about stinging, redness or anything like that from the high aha percentage, but it was very comfortable. I applied it with a medium brush and let it dry for 12 minutes and then washed it off. It just made my skin feel smooth and healthy and ready for the week. I think I'll make this part of my weekly routine!
So , its obvious that I am a fan of Ole Henrickson products, and this is my latest favourite product from his line. Truthfully they are not "miracle" products because, lets face it, if something sounds too good to be true, well, they are! What i do love is that these products are not harsh or drying on my skin and are made with mostly natural ingredients.
The ingredients in this peel work to exfoliate and resurface the skin. The spa grade treatment increases cell turnover, brightens skin tone, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, softer skin.
You apply the gel-like peel in a thick-ish with the small brush included in the box adn leave it on for 10 minutes. You can give or take a minute or two but warning-it does sting! Not the type of stinging that makes you feel liek your face is bleeding but it stings enough to the point where you would want to wash the product off your face, especially the first time. I do this treatment about once a week or every two weeks and my skin is super smooth and shiny (especially when paired with the night gel moisturizer). However, with that being said, it does has not gotten rid of any of my blackheads which is the only downfall. Other than that, I am a fan!
