TCA Chemical Facial Peel 12% Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am 45 and have very light skin. This product removed almost all of my freckles and age spots and gave me skin that looks good even without foundation. It took away my large pores on my cheeks, and improved the small "chicken bump" texture I have under my eyes. All my wrinkles are not gone but they look softer and are less noticeable as the skin is softer and seems to "drape" better. The difference is dramatic. I have used this product 3 times. The first time I left it on for only 1 minute. The second time I left it on for 3 minutes. Both of these peels still gave me great effects (and left me wrinkled a peeling for a few days afterwards). The 3rd time I was more confident to use the peel like a professional would, layering the product by putting it all over my face for 3 minutes, applying a second layer and waiting 3 more minutes before applying a third and finally a fourth time in the few spots that didn't seem to frost over. You should know it hurts! At first my skin looked very red like a bad sunburn. Brown spots start showing up and continue to get much worse until the skin was very dry, taught, wrinkled and dark. This is best described as a layer of dark wrinkled leather.It is not pretty and it is not subtle. Plan to hide for a week! After 5 days I looked better and could return to the real world. By day 10 my skin was shiny, smooth, and amazing. I suggest starting off slow with this...you don't know how your skin will react and it is a very strong peel. I had done my research and so before doing the peel I had on hand skin neutralizer to stop the sting immediately after washing the product off, emu oil to keep the skin moist while it is healing, and copper peptide serum to help speed the healing. I saved several hundred dollars using this product instead of a laser peel and I'm very happy with the results.

Tru Solutions: Glycolic Acid 50% Chemical Facial Peel Kit (professional set) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I applied this product as directed and felt the stinging then removed it after 2 minutes as suggested. My face was a little pink which went away in an hour or so. My skin never peeled anywhere. A week later I tried again and left it on longer. Same thing happened a little pink and no peeling or even dryness occurred. I was hoping to save money with this product - however, off I go to the spa for a real peel. Don't waste your money.

Cure Series Japanese Exfoliating Bath Towel from OHE - Hard Weave - Pink, 110cm Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the third brand bath cloth I have bought and it's exactly what I had been looking for: it's rough (but not too rough), and not heavy while using. The green and pink 110cm Cure towels are he leyije length. I also tried out the blue one which is a little longer, but this is personal preference. I prefer the green / pink length, personally.
about the other two brands:
- leyijie towels: it's like using sandpaper.
- aquis: good feel, but the material is too absorbent which makes it too heavy to use comfortably.

Tru Solutions:Complete Glycolic Acid 30% Chemical Facial Peel Kit (professional set) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I compared this to many other bottles of Glycolic acid 30%, and this kit comes with a full bottle of the glycoic acid, plus a glycolic cleanser, glycolic toner, glycolic face cream and a fan in a nice zipper pouch. All this for the price of a bottle of 30% glycolic acid from other companies.
You can smell and feel the glycolic acid in the cleanser, the toner, and face cream. This really benefits the skin, preparing it for the peel and for care in between peels. I had the typical patches of dead skin a day or two after the peel, the cleanser, toner, and lotion helped speed the shedding and increased the benefits.
I have very pale skin, and felt starting with 30% was as strong as I could handle. Sure enough it stings as soon as you start brushing on the actual glycolic acid it self. Sitting by a small fan really helped. I used my cell phone timer, and was more than ready to rinse at 1 minute. I had a bowl of baking soda and water next to me which neutralizes the acid and stops the peel. The directions say it will sting more when you apply the baking soda and water, and they were spot on. (I dipped the brush in the baking soda/water solution and it fizzed!)
Then I just laid a cool wet cloth on my face after wiping off the acid on my face, neck, and hands. While moist I applied the face cream. No redness the next day. It's been a week, and just finished my 2nd peel. I see a difference. Fading a few darker freckles I wanted removed, more even skin tone, smaller pores and fresh looking skin. I can't wait to see the improvement at week 6.
There seems to be enough to do at least 6 hand and face treatments, maybe as many as 10-12. This is so much more effective than the spa peels I've done. I like being in control, and the whole kit cost less than 1 facial/peel at a spa or doctors office. It's VERY important you follow the directions, and have the baking soda water ready (the kit doesn't include baking soda, it's only 1.50 at the market).
I will absolutely buy this package again. I think I will give this as a nice holiday gift to my friends and ladies at work.

Jessner's Chemical Peel Kit Anti-aging and Anti-acne Skin Care Treatment Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was so excited to get this peel. I have really done significant research to find the best home peel. My dermatologist told me about 6 months ago that I would benefit from a Jessner's peel since it's a medium depth peel. I had asked for her advice as in my early thirties, I've experienced mild adult acne, acne scarring, mid-size pores, and fine wrinkles. However, all the local dermatologists including mine charged north of $100 per treatment. It just wasn't priority compared to other things until.... I found and decided on this product.
The price seemed almost too good to be true, but I thought I would give it a shot. A years worth of applications for less than $30? What?? Well, I applied the peel. It took two layers to frost. The first layer I already felt an immediate intense stinging sensation. Boy was I surprised but pleased (as I have had a peel before and I know what it feels like when it works). This was a little more intense then the lighter peels I'd tried before like glycolic peels at the derm's office. By the second layer, I was literally tearing as the stinging sensation intensifed. A handheld fan I had did relieve some of the discomfort and as time subsided over the 5 min so did the stinging. Redness, brown and light surface scabbing, and peeling occured in the first few days until now. I'm on day 4. I'm pleased so far. The instructions were very thorough. The kit is fabulous as it comes with a full size moisturizer and a trial size cleanser. A little goes a long way. I will update soon, but I couldn't wait to add my two cents. Oh and by the way, I did prep by using prescribed tretinoin two weeks prior which may be why I reacted quickly and sensitively.
Highly recommend!!
Update:
It has now been about 2 weeks since my peel was complete. The peeling lasted 8 days. I really think the tretinoin treatment helped which is why the 8 day downtime was longer than average. Believe me this is not something you can get by in public without being noticed. It took an additional 2 days for the dryness and flaking to subside.
However, I can definitely say that this process has tremendously improved the texture and condition of my face. I did have some deep acne scars that have lightened 50% and should disappear on the recommended peel frequency. My pores appear much smaller and less noticeable especially under primer and foundation. I still have the occasional zit, but the instructions are clear that this is normal. The difference is night and day. Even my husband commented that my skin looks really good. My makeup applies and appears very fluid and almost flawless. Before this, my skin's appearance was dull and therefore so was my foundation over it. The value is amazing, as are the results, and I plan to continue treatment through the remainder of the year.

Buf-Puf Back Scrub Body Sponge with Reusable Handle (Pack of 4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not an acne-covered teenager, but, as a 30+ woman, I was tired of occasional breakouts on my face and back.
My doctor recommended this particular product because you can (and should) replace the sponge head periodically, thus reducing bacteria to re-infect oneself and lead to pimples. She told me to use it with an anti-bacterial body wash.
It works just fine as a back scrubber. This would not be appropriate for very sensitive skin as it is an exfoliant type brush--similar to a loofah or those round body scrubbers that always come bundled with body wash gift packs.
When you've tossed the old sponge to replace it, you are left with a stick covered with little pointy barbs. That's what the new sponge will stick to. Changing it isn't hard, but, occasionally, a washcloth or other item near the brush will catch on a barb that doesn't get full covered by your new sponge. This isn't a big issue, but it could snag something. Be careful with that problem, and you should enjoy this brush.
I've had my handle for about 2 years now. It is sturdy. I've been through many, many sponge heads. They are tricky to find at my local grocery and pharmacy, so Amazon availability is really great for me.

Clean Logic Exfoliating Bath and Shower Back Scrubber (Pack of 6) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I LOVE these back scrubbers, finally I can reach all those itchy spots on my back.
They are each prepackaged, when you order 6 you get an assortment of pastel colors.
I got 2 mint green, 2 light blue, 1 buff (shown in the photo) and 1 pink.
The material is nylon, think a rough washcloth but made of plastic with little nubs.
Between the two layers is a thin sponge like material, which holds the soap. A little soap goes a LONG way with these. They say on the package that they are antibacterial
They are long enough to hold the handles in each hand and scrub your back, they stretch a little as you pull then bounce back as you let go. Dries very quickly. My husband likes them as well.

Dove SkinVitalizer Facial Cleansing Massager with 1 Massager and 6 Exfoliating Pillows Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am one that values the opinions of others and like most read reviews on an item prior to buying it. I was planning on buying an item 3 if not 4 times more $ than this item because it had better reviews and is a brand I am familiar with. I have better skin thanks to a recent Zeno purchase however you still have to wash your face several times a day. My old regime was using a puff buff and a cleanser that I felt was best suited for my skin. If it is a facial cleanser chances are it is in my toilette closet. When I bought this I thought this item would be my back up item. However, it has proven to do A LOT more than I thought. I have heard complaints about it not vibrating and that you have to do so. Or that a washcloth is better. After using it for several weeks here is my review. First of all let's face it, if you are left handed it is easy to clean the left side of your face and vice versa. I don't know about you but when washing my face and usually taking makeup off I leave the water running to rinse my buff puff. If it is a washcloth you not only get stains on it but it is all over your face and you waste more cleanser with a washcloth. I used the pads that came with the device and wetted them as instructed. It lathered up really well and I did not keep the water running. I felt it cleaned not only my face better but I was able to get my neck and side of my neck which breakout frequently as well. The best thing about this device is it is NOT just capable of using the pads intended for it. I am not a huge Dove fan and although it cleans well sometimes I need something stronger. I have stuck a buff puff on the device and then put on a heavier cleanser and it works great! I also have stuck face pads for a well know company that is more abrasive and also the Ponds facial clothes. They ALL stick to this device and I find myself cleaning my face a lot longer and cleaning it better. What I love the most is during the winter my hands get really chapped and blistered. Or even in the summer if you have a cut on your hand this device is a dream. No more running your hands under the water and applying it directly to the harsh chemicals and rinsing. The device is my fingers and it has truly helped my hands and skin since it touch my face, not my bare hands. I love this product and am glad I gave it a try and knowing it is so diverse I could not be happier. I think for the price you get what you paid for and a whole lot more! It is definitely worth it!

Bernard Jensen Products Body Brush Natural Bristle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this brush from another retailer for dry skin brushing, I a saw pretty decent difference after the first use. Just make sure to rinse the bristles when you first buy it, it is made with natural wood. The bristles can scratch if your skin isn't used to it or very sensitive, but it does what it is suppose to do. Ill see how the bristles hold up over time, usually when you use a brush that gets wet you want to place it face down to dry so the water doesnt swell the wood and make the bristles fallout...But overall it seems to be a great product.
*** Update March 26 2011***
Ok so after 2-3 dayS of use I did let the brush get wet and it damn near cracked into two pieces after it dried. This brush doesnt have a protective coat to keep the water from soaking into the wood. SO THIS IS REALLY FOR DRY BRUSHING ONLY!!

Olay Professional Pro-X Exfoliating Renewal Cleanser, 6 Ounce Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a new product to the Olay Pro-X line. Based on my experience I believe it will be quite popular. Product does not have a scent and is not gritty. Since you only use a small amount each time, product should last for a reasonable period. Skin feels/looks good after using. I am in my 50's with dryish skin, but I do not find this product drying.I will purchase it again.
