Review: Philosophy The Microdelivery Peel

Hi everyone! It's been 2 weeks since I posted, and I'm sorry for that :( I'm very very busy with my Uni's lately, soooo many projects to do and it affected all my healthy life routine such as sleeping, eating, and also my skincare routine.

I realize in this whole 2 weeks, I never use my daily skincare routine anymore (eek! I know, this is baaadd!) I notice right away that my skin condition is not in their best, I have some dry spots around my mouth and an acne is trying to come out. I never suffer this kind of situation before because I relatively have normal to oily skin (in my t-zone). I'm very stress out because the dry spots around my mouth makes me feel uncomfortable and feel so tight when I eat, talk and.....taking picture (he he he :p)

Okay! enough for the rambling!

Basically, I really can't stand it anymore. Then I saw my Philosophy scrub that I rarely use (because I'm just lazy like that! HA HA) I decided to use it... and VOILA! All that nasty things on my face is gone! You guys should know how happy I am with the result :""") My face now is silky-smooth and happy :D No more uncomfortable feeling around it, and this is why I want to share my story with this heaven-send's-product-from-my-beloved-God-who-want-me-to-have-a-nice-skin (jkjk!) but seriously, Thankyou! :p

Here's My review about this product.

Philosophy The Microdelivery Peel 

Here's what they claim about itself from their website:

"a two-step, in-home peel that resurfaces and rejuvenates sun-damaged, hyperpigmented and aging skin. what makes this next generation microdelivery peel so revolutionary is that unlike peels of the past that only exfoliated, this peel delivers peptides and vitamin c to the skin as it is being rapidly exfoliated. it is resurfacing and replenishing the skin at the same time, which is a new approach to skin rejuvenation, and best of all, it involves absolutely no downtime."

What they claim to gives: 

smoothes and resurfaces rough texture

helps minimize the look of fine lines

helps brighten and even skin tone 

Where you can find it:

I don't think you can find it at Sephora in Indonesia, but you'll find it at Sephora in Singapore.

Price:

I'm terribly sorry that I can't give you the exact price, because I bought it almost a year ago in Singapore. I think it was IDR 900k-ish for both of it (it comes with a package). I know, this stuff is relatively expensive, but I think it's a good investment for your skin, and it last a really long time. You can share it with your mom, sister and DAD! it's good for mature skin, so your parent can use it too. (Ha Ha, the beautician demonstrate this product on my dad's and mom's hand too, that's why they let me buy it :p *trick* )  



So, here's my thought about them:

The first step is to use their vitamin c/peptide resurfacing crystals or i like to simply call it "the scrub", and it looks like this...

The scrub is not harsh to the skin, but still be gentle when massaging the product to your skin. The scrub has a really nice orange scent's in a very sweet way and, it's very refreshing when you use it. Personally I'm a big fan of the scent.

The second step is to use their lactic/salicylic acid activating gel, and it looks like this...

As you can see on the right, the gel is clear so it's kinda hard for me to capture it (sorry! #notapro) Hopefully you guys still got the idea of it.

The gel acts to "activate" the scrub, there is no scent in this product and it's have a runny gel texture. You'll feel a warm sensation when you use this product on top of the orange scrub.

 How to use it:

First step,  with a clean hand put the "scrub" all over your clean, dry skin. Massage it for about a minute or so avoiding eye area. Be gentle with it, just slowly and use less pressure if you have a really sensitive skin.

Next, put the activating gel on your clean, dry hand. Apply it on top of the "scrub", massage gently and you will instantly feel the warm sensation and it will turn into a white foam. You can massage it until 2-3 minutes, but I'm to lazy for it, and just leave it on my face for the next 2-3 minutes (to make sure all the vitamins from the "scrub" into your skin)

Last step, I like to use a wet-warm-towel to remove all the scrub and it's done!

Result:

My skin instantly feels a lot smoother, and radiant. It feels so hydrated and bouncy, and all the dry flaky skin is gone :D

Tips:

Always use a good moisturizer after using this, and avoid direct sunlight for a moment (idk why, but the beautician at Sephora told me this).
Or you can continue to hydrate your skin with a sleeping mask (I'll review in the next post, promise!).
Don't forget to drink a lot! water is your best friend, just try to drink as much as you can.


That's all about this mighty-scrub-that-i-can't-live-without :p

Hope you'll find it helpful and save your dry skin issues.....





Love,
