Product Rave - H2O + Sea Results Overnight Skin Perfecting Peel

Hi,

This product was my first face-off with Glycolic and Salicylic Acids. And I guess by now everyone might have understood that I love both of these acids. This product is the reason why I am such a huge fan of both.

Three years back my skin wasn't any close to what it is now. It was unevenly pigmented, had major open pores, blackheads, whiteheads and it was dry, flaky and scaly.  I had to get facials every month. But when I moved to States this luxury was not possible. I started hunting products which could help me with my problem. I came across H2O plus peel.

My initial reaction was not pleasing, as it tingled my skin, and I never found any change in my skin the next morning. But because of its price tag I thought I must finish the product rather than shelving it. That's the best decision I had made for my skin ever. The given quantity lasted me about 7-8 months and when my first bottle got over then I realized what wonders it did for my skin.

In the period of 7-8 months my open pores diminished, blackheads reduced, texture of skin became better, whiteheads reduced and my skin had a glow. And most importantly I survived these months without a proper salon facial (I did treat my skin to at home facials).

So coming onto what is so good about this product.

One pump of the product

Blended , too much for my hand

Reduced the quantity and re-blended and dried (this is ideally how it shows up on face)

Suitable For : All skin types. It is very mild and gentle product. even people with sensitive skin can use this.

My last words: Don’t expect miracles overnight, this product works, but if you have very troubled skin, it will take time to show results. It took me 7-8 months to get a little better skin. After completing first bottle I bought a second one, but simultaneously migrated to a higher concentration of Glycolic acids which made major difference in my skin texture.

If people are scared of using glycolic this is a best way to introduce it in your routine. If price is not a concern and you want to steer clear from cheaper pharmacy alternatives, this is for great product. But, Are their cheaper alternatives – Yes, which work equally good or should I say even better that this. A must have for me? -  No, I even trust my pharmacy available products which are don’t burn a hole in my pocket. Do I love this product? I certainly do , I wish the pharmacy brands had a texture like this.

Stay Beautiful :)
