At Home Glycolic Peel on my face?! Review

 N E O S T R A T A 
RESURFACE SMOOTH SURFACE GLYCOLIC PEEL 
             with 10% AHA + AMINOFIL                                              
 Last week I was lucky enough to get sent a couple of products from Neostrata's new line of skincare by Influenster to test out. Although chemical exfoliation sounds scary with the strength of 10% glycolic acid, they're the perfect acid peel for beginners like me. The product claims to "reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven pigmentation and pore size" which are all things I need to help my skin.

"From the creators of the original Glycolic Acid Peel, this daily home use peel is expertly formulated at an effective pH using a NeoStrata-developed delivery system. Glycolic Acid enhances exfoliation to clarify pores, refine skin texture and improve skin tone. Patented, revolutionary Aminofil® builds skin’s natural volume and visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As a result, skin is fresher, healthier-looking with smoother texture and more even tone. This easy, one-step peel does not require rinsing or neutralizing. Moisturizer can be applied immediately after use. An ideal treatment to exfoliate and smooth skin on a daily basis."

Since receiving the products I have used it consistently for 2 weeks. At first my face felt tingly after swiping one of these pads all over my face, but it's worth it because my skin instantly felt smoother after the treatment is done. It's also been helpful in controlling acne flare ups. Be aware that the product contains AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) and can make the skin more sensitive to the sun. For the next few days make sure to be extra diligent with sunscreen and sun protection.
 


Price
The product costs $70 for 36 pads + peel solution, 60mL/2.0 fl oz. Like I mentioned in my intro, I received my trio complimentary.

Key Ingredients: Glycolic Acid, AminoFil®

Results
Right after using the trio my skin felt a bit softer and a bit smoother but the real results happened over the course of a week. I noticed that my skin started looking a lot brighter! One of my main skincare concerns is lightening and fading my acne marks-- which the Glycolic peel definitely addressed.

Would I recommend?
Overall I thoroughly enjoyed adding this Neostrata glycolic peel to my night time routine and will definitely be sticking with it. I think the peel would also be perfect for people who don't regularly use chemical exfoliants & are new to the process (like myself!) And those who are concerned with the texture and clarity of their skin. #ThisIsMyNewLayer, #CestMaNouvellePeau, #Neostrata, #NeostrataCanada
