Brazilian Peel Review

I had the opportunity to try a product called Brazilian Peel.  It's an at-home, professional strength peel.  The one I tried was the acne peel kit. 

Here are the claims:

The Science of Clear Skin

Together, the dermatologic benefits of 25% glycolic, the antioxidant properties of natural açaì berry, the innovation of Q-Mag Neutralizer, and the acne-fighting properties of salicylic acid define the science of Brazilian Peel Clear, the Antidote to Acne.

Brazilian Peel Clear is formulated WITHOUT:

Sulfates

Synthetic Dyes

Petrochemicals

Phthalates

GMOs

Triclosan


 
The kit is a 4 week system and you start of doing a peel first.  It was kind of fun to do the peel because it gets warm on your face.  It tingled a bit but I left it on for the 10 minutes as directed and then washed it off with cool water.  My face still tingled for about 5 minutes after washing it off.  The kit comes with four peels and you do that weekly.

Every day in the time between peels, I used the Boost Pads.  The Boost Pads tingled and burned just a bit and had a similar feel of an over-the-counter toner.   

I repeated this process until the peels and pads were gone. What were the results?  I didn't notice that much of a difference in my skin after the process.  I do think my pores were cleaner though. I still had a couple of pimples throughout the process and didn't get any less than I normally would.  Overall, I think my skin isn't that bad to begin with so results may be better with someone who has problem skin. 

When I received this box, it retailed at Sephora for $79 but I see they no longer carry this exact product, however it's had rave reviews.  I do see that you can purchase just the peels now.  I've found this exact kit on other sites for $45.
