Microdermabrasion Kit by Olay Regenerist, Face Peel & Scrub for Dry Skin, Reduce Wrinkles & Fine Lines, 1 Kit

What’s not to like about it!!.The microdermabrasion treatment with derma-crystals, comes in a tub. It has a thick yet liquid like consistency. But every bit of it is made up of very fine crystals. It’s yellow in color and has a very nice pleasant smell. The tub contains 64 gms. The peel activator serum contains lactic acid. This is a natural AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) found in sour milk. AHAs are excellent for anti aging and definitely gives the six benefits, which I mentioned above, that this system promises to do. That’s one of reasons I trusted this system/product would really work.The serum is colorless and syrupy in consistency. It has a fruit like smell. Something like bananas. It’s definitely pleasant. If you are thinking “Oh it’s an acid, it might smell like a chemical”, well no. That’s wrong. It comes in a bottle, containing 59 ml.Here is how it works / Directions to use (as listed on the labels):Step 1 : Apply derma-crystals to clean,dry face (about the size of a quarter). Cover entire face like a mask (avoid the eyethe eye area). Gently massage for 45 seconds to 1 minute.Step 2 : Apply the activator serum onto fingertips adding a thick layer directly over the entire derma-crystal mask. Gently massage for upto 1 minute. Rinse thoroughly with warm water, using a wash cloth for best results.When applying the derma crystals, it feels mildly abrasive. The smell is really pleasant and soothing though. I sometimes take more than amore than a quarter to work on my entire face and neck. I don’t press hard instead I gently spread it. Then, on adding the peel activator serum, it reacts with the derma crystals and dissolves it, along with a layer of your skin. There is a mildly warm sensation. Also, when these two products meet, a white foam is produced. It is a conditioner, released to your skin’s surface. If you wish to, you can add more serum to dissolve the crystals. It’s not harmful or anything. Though they suggest you wash your face with warm water, I did try with regular water at room temperature and the results are just the same. Immediately after using this, they suggest to apply a serum to keep your skin moisturized. I use Olay’s serum from the Total Effects range.If by reading the last paragraph, you are skeptical or scared by the wordsthe words like ‘warm’, ‘white foam’ or ‘dissolve’, let me assure you that it’s gentle!. The warm sensation, on a scale of 1 to 10, is at 1. Just a warm feeling that spreads on your skin. Dissolving a layer of your skin would mean that your skin instantly looks fresher, brighter and feels incredibly smooth because a dull layer of dead skin cells is what was dissolved off.This product is gentle enough to be used twice a week. But you shouldn’t be overzealous and try your luck by using it more times. You might end up irritating your skin. Also this product shouldn’t be used on irritated, damaged or diseased skin (as written on the label). You should never use this along with other exfoliating products or with cleansing devices. Before, first using this on my face, I did a 1 day patch test on my hand. Though lactic acid is good, it’s natural and you can never predict how your skin will react.My skin feels and looks incredibly soft and smooth after using this product. There is a brightness to my skin that is very much noticeable. When my family saw me after some timesome time of being apart, they really noticed the difference.If you are a fair person, I guarantee one thing!. Your skin will be red after using this product. My skin doesn’t turn red usually, because I have a dark skin tone. Yet, on the sides of my nose, I noticed slight redness, during the first three times I used this. But now, it doesn’t turn red anymore.The shipping was fast. Amazon shipped it via Aramex and they delivered right to my door, in UAE. It took 8 days to reach me once I ordered it, which is quite good. So all in all, it’s freaking amazing. I love it and I highly recommend it to all!

I've used this kit for years, since the bottles were solid white with black caps. This is still the same formula, don't worry. Cheaper than buying from a regular store. I use this once a week. Make sure you use a timer & follow the instructions. If you try to just guess the time, you will end up with a sore face because you'll get distracted by how good it feels on your skin & end up rubbing it around for 3 minutes. I have very dry, sensitive skin so I don't exfoliate a lot. I have a lot of acne scars, and this helps lighten them. It even helps with existing acne.My only gripe with this product is that I always run out of one before the other. Usually the scrub first. I'm probably using too much though. But you don't really need a lot. To save how much activator you use, rinse the scrub off your hands before that step so you have a little dampness on your hands, and you don't waste activator trying to dissolve the scrub leftover on your fingers. And only use this on a dry face BEFORE a shower. Don't use it after a shower when your skin is still wet & warm or it will hurt. You can use a makeup wipe but only on your eye makeup. This stuff removes face makeup just as well. You don't want any extra moisture on your face.I am head over heels in love with this stuff. I don't splurge on face care, but this is a must-have. I use a $3 aveeno bar & cheap cerave moisturizer. Oh yeah, and don't use any type of special moisturizer after this. Nothing with acids or charcoal or anything that has a special use like "clearing" or "brightening." Only use a basic gentle moisturizer like cerave. Your skin will be sensitive after, and special face creams could hurt you. After using, dry off your face about 80% of the way so it's slightly damp, then add moisturizer. Your skin will drink it right up and it feels amazing. You will want to sit there for 5 minutes just rubbing it in cause it feels so nice, and your skin will feel so soft you won't wanna keep your hands off it. You might even want to add a 2nd helping of moisturizer. Your makeup will apply so much better, and you won't even need much because this makes your skin bright & fresh looking. If you're an eyebrow-lover, you'll love how easily your pencil or dipbrow glides onto your skin. I actually use this scrub directly on my eyebrows for a few seconds. You're constantly using heavy waxy pomades & pencils on them, and that can cause buildup. This scrub negates that and leaves your brow area super soft.I recommend this for anyone of any age or gender. I'm 23 and I started using when I was 17 or 18. You will not regret it. It will probably burn the first few times, but you will get used to it. Try only using each step for 40 seconds the first time instead of the whole minute. And remember, use small, gentle circles. It feels so good that sometimes you want to rub harder but it will hurt. The activator part feels weird but you will get used to that too. To use less activator, tilt your head back and squeeze some directly onto your forehead, cheeks, and chin, then start rubbing in.

This stuff is amazing! I was having trouble with acne and uneven skin tone, but this kit cleared it away almost immediately. I like to use it once or twice a week and have obtained great results so far. My skin looks fantastic when I add this to my routine. The scrub is lovely and smells faintly of orange, which is pleasing. The peel does foam and does become very warm on my face. The warmth was alarming at first, but once I used this product a couple of times I found that this was normal.My only complaints would have to be with the packaging. I don't like having to reach my hand into a jar for the scrub--I would prefer a pump or bottle.

Me pareció muy bien el precio en comparación de otros lugares, llegó en buen estado!Sobre el producto apenas lo estoy usando y voy muy bien , mi piel es sensible y tengo rosácea y aún así no es nada fuerte!

It is very helpful for my skin!

Estupendo peeling, me lo recomendaron y no me h defraudado. Recomendable totalmente para limpiar impurezas y alisar la piel en esta epoca

Works really well.

It does what it claims.I noticed and my colleagues did too...a softer glowing facial skin .The best part was it was after the first usage.worth spending your money on.
