Details & care
What it is: A two-step resurfacing vitamin C peel that brightens and smoothes skin.
What it does: Vitamin C helps the skin's natural collagen levels and the microdelivery system allows for maximum penetration of vitamins and antioxidants into the skin for optimal results. The peel helps exfoliate dead skin cells from the surface of skin to reveal a brighter complexion.
How to use: Apply a teaspoon of the peptide resurfacing crystals to clean, dry skin. Once applied, crystals should appear almost like a mask. Gently massage in a circular motion over entire face for up to 60 seconds, avoiding the eye area. Do not scrub. Then place a generous teaspoon of the lactic/salicylic acid activating gel in the palm of your hand. Massage gel onto fingertips, and apply on top of crystals. As the activator is applied, a warming sensation will occur. White foam will appear, indicating activation. Leave foam on for 2 to 3 minutes, rinse thoroughly.

way too rough
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this once and it was very rough on my skin. At first, my skin felt very smooth. However, afterwards my skin began to feel very irritated and it became red. I realized the next day that the scrub was so rough on my skin it actually left me some
small open wounds and now I have small scabs on my forehead now as a result. I followed the instructions carefully, and honestly at first I thought it would be very good but sadly it was too harsh on my skin.

Glowing
Another brand used to make this and I was very sad when they stopped. But then to my delight its back and at Philosophy. This is like a shot of glow when you need it. It’s the only thing thats like immediate and my skin looks and feels so good after. I do think the scrub and then combo with lactic acid is the golden ticket.

My fav
This is hands down my favorite peel. It is gentle on my skin, but makes it so bright and healthy! And it smells like sweet orange, mmmm.
