A while ago I was able to try a sample of the Philosophy Microdelivery Peel Kit, and I was very impressed. It made by skin look much brighter and healthier!
Essentially it is 2 part skin care peel, the first part is the Bicarbonate Vitamin C Crystals. It is yellow in colour and are small rough grainy crystals, you exfoliate your skin with this for about a minute before adding part 2. Part 2 is the clear Activator Gel which you massage on your face along with the crystals. These products are suppose to give your skin a boost by brightening it and giving you smoother skin. However the Philosophy version is £59.50, a little steep for a student.
After doing some research I came across the Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel. The Olay version is £28.99 and Amazon is the only place I have come across that stocks this item in the UK.The Olay version is pretty much identical and very a good dupe for the Philosophy edition, and less than half of the price!
This product improved my skin immensely, I have combination skin which can get quite dry and flaky, however this product actually got rid of the flakiness entirely! Its a really good exfoliator which removed all the dead skin cells it also brightened my complexion. I do have sensitive skin and the activator gel is a tad bit harsh and gives my face a slight burning sensation but not bad enough that I have to wash it off straight away. The crystals actually have a pleasant fruity scent too, which is great.
I enjoyed this product a great deal and will deffo be repurchasing it, I am going to go as far to say that it is probably now one of my holy grails as it definitely has improved the texture of my skin.
Thanks
Dee
