Juice Beauty: Green Apple Peel Sensitive


Sensitive

I am quite fond of Juice Beauty, I have never tried anything from them that has been sub-par.
The Green Apple Peel did scare me a bit at first.
I read/hear "peel" & think of Samantha on S&TC before Carrie's book
launch...

Juice Beauty's peel does not take off your face.
I'm not going to lie, there was a bit of burning at first--
but more of a mild discomfort than
a perming-solution-on -face feeling (thank you, 1980's for teaching these valuable lessons).

The feeling wears off quickly, I didn't even get it during subsequent uses.
End result= skin clearer, more refined, softer.
Totally worth any initial discomfort.

Renee' Rouleau Triple Berry Smoothing Peel

From Colleen:

I liked the tingling and exfoliation it provided.
I did not like the chunks of berries on my face.
Good results!

Juice Beauty

Juice Beauty reviews from Emily:
-Cleansing Gel: Love it, feels very clean without over drying.

-Oil-Free Moisturizer: Works well, usually need a little more moisture, ended up buying the green apple spf 15 moisturizer.

-Blemish Clearing Serum: Love it, I believe it has diminished scars and helps prevent new issues. I like to think it's a barrier between me and my make-up

-Green Apple Peel/Sensitive
: Like it, but would like to try the regular (not sensitive).

** Bought a skincare kit from Juice Beauty via Sephora, loved it! Even came with eco-bamboo headband. **

Glytone

Glytone's Essential Mini Peel Gel is a light acid peel for home use.
Yes, it can burn--I had to work up to the full time. But it got rid of mild discoloration & my blackheads. I use once every other week so my skin doesn't get all irritated. STAY OUT OF THE SUN AFTERWARDS. They aren't kidding about this.
I used the Glytone Daily Lotion SPF 15 the day after peeling.
It's a nice, lightweight lotion that doesn't make skin mad the day after the peel, but it is NOT strong enough for more than being indoors. Then again, I have gotten a sun burn through a window. I will use this lotion in the evening, when there's enough sun where I worry about exposure, but it's setting & will be dark.

md skincare - Daily Face Peel

MD Skincare - Dr. Dennis Gross
Alpha Beta
Daily Face Peel
Two Step System

This is the first time I have tried a two-step daily face peel. When I opened the first pouch, I was a little worried due to the strong alcohol smell. I followed the directions and swiped Step 1 over my face from my forehead down to neck in semi-circular strokes. My face felt like it was burning a little, but was definitely tolerable. After waiting 2 minutes, I applied Step 2. The second pad was not as strong smelling, and did not burn as much. After it dried, my skin felt amazing. It was soft and smooth, clean and shiny. To my amazement, it wasn't as dry as I had anticipated. I did use moisturizer, but my face did not break out at all after using this product. I have since looked on the MD Skincare website (www.mdskincare.com/index.cfm) and could not find this product. I may have to write to Dr. Dennis Gross and ask him if it is still available. Oh, by the way, Dr. Dennis Gross is a dermatologist/dermatological surgeon in Manhattan. He developed his products as an alternative to surgery. I am all for avoiding a knife to my face, so keep the products coming!
