Skincare is one of my obsessions. I typically do masks and other restorative treatments on Skincare Sunday, but I was offered to try Glymed Plus Youth Firm Age Defying Peel and after doing research and finding out that this one is very gentle I agreed! I am happy to share my thoughts with you!
I am usually scared of peels… it just sounds sort of abrasive and makes me nervous–the word ‘peel’ makes me think of my skin peeling off in some terrible horror film. For the sake of a blog review I tried this one and I am so glad I did. This peel is actually AHA-free so it creates less photosensitivity than other peels that do contain AHA. It sloughs away dead skin cells and normalizes cell turnover.
I followed the directions and smoothed the peel over my freshly cleansed skin and left it on for about 5 minutes. The directions say to keep it on for 3-7 minutes so I went with a happy medium. I took a warm washcloth and removed it and I was left with soft skin.
I didn’t feel any sensitivity, I didn’t see redness, and my skin didn’t peel off in chunks! (haha) I was left with skin that could rival a baby’s bottom!
The fact that the dead skin cells are removed it makes pores less visible while also making skin brighter and smoother! Eventually your fine lines will also appear less visible! I have been using this one for about a week now (2-3 applications) and I am noticing that my skin tone is becoming more even!
Important Mentions:
- The scent is a typical skincare/herbal scent. It isn’t extremely strong and after a couple minutes you won’t even smell it anymore!
- The packaging is great. It has a nice push down pump that makes it easy to dispense the right amount.
- The ingredients are gentle and mimic the skin’s natural components instead of harsh chemicals like AHA. This means no wounding and less irritation and sensitivity!
Glymed Plus Youth Firm Age Defying Peel retails at $96 for 1 fl oz and can be found at skin1.com.
Skin1.com is a great website and actually has a ton of stuff from which to choose. The site itself is heavy on skincare products but also has cosmetics, organic lines, lash growth products, and even men’s care! I personally found some goodies from Stila, Dermablend and Dr. Hauschka!
Another great thing to note is that Skin1.com provides free shipping and samples with every order! Don’t you hate having to spend $10 on shipping because you need to replace your rare-hard-to-find-but-it’s-your-favorite-so-you-purchase-it-online toner that only costs $10? Me too!
I am happy to announce that I have 5 gift certificates to share with my readers to skin1.com! Each gift certificate is good for one use in the amount of $96, which is the cost of the Glymed Plus Youth Firm Age Defying Peel. The product is really fantastic, but you can use it for anything on their site that tickles your fancy!
