Who else wants to rejuvenate their skin at a price they can afford?
CVS Beauty has come a long way! I remember back when their skin section meant lotion and chapstick. I’ve always loved drugstore beauty finds but this is department store quality on CVS prices.
A professional glycolic peel at the dermatologist can run upwards of $200 and that’s for one treatment! CVS has come out with their newest product: skin effects Glycolic Acid Treatment recommended by Dr. Strachan, Dermatologist and member of the CVS/pharmacy Beauty Board.
At just under $25 the kit is worth a try. And remember, if you don’t like it, CVS/pharmacy has a Beauty guarantee, bring it back up to 60 days for FREE!
CVS Beauty sent me the kit to try. Check out my before and after pics!
I can’t tell you how hard it was posting that first pic! My skin looks run down and just plain sad. Really, really sad.
When you first put on the peel it goes on white and pasty. After 4-5 minutes it dries and becomes flaky. Rub it off gently in circular strokes and then rinse with warm water.
My skin is so bright! It felt like it removed the top layer, not a problem!
Some tips:
- Make sure you have not waxed/plucked or done any exfoliation just prior to using the peel. I had a cold at the time and since the skin around my nose was so raw, it burned.
- Put on a good amount, you want to cover your face completely and want it pretty thick.
- Wait a couple minutes to put the serum on after, let your skin rest for a minute.
It can help create a dewy complexion, reduce fine lines, discoloration, and sun damage, stimulates collagen for more suppleness, and helps clear acne by unclogging pores. It’s best to avoid the sun with use, and be careful when using other exfoliating agents such as retinoids, salicylic acids and physical scrubs.

I use neutrogena daily moisturizer and pore cleansing toner and water. I used to,have bad acne growing up and had all the dermaatologist products. I stopped using them and switched to Neutrogena and don't have acne
I prefer the facial scrubs – especially apricot.
Thank you.
I don't really use any type of facial masks.
I have very sensitive skin, and have allergic reactions to most chemicals used in beauty products, so I have to stick with very natural skincare products that don't use harsh chemicals. Thanks!

I get the Pumpkin Peel at my dermatologist.
I like using an apricot scrub periodically to make my skin feel fresh and new. I don't do it too often, however, because my skin is very sensitive.
I used the Palmer’s skin therapy oil when I was prengant to add moisture to my belly as it grew and try to stave off stretch marks. My major complaint with this oil is that it got on my clothes and left behind a wood like smell. Numerous washes could not shake this woody type smell from my pajamas. It was annoying and I had to throw some of them away :/
My favorite skin treatment is AHA cream!
I love Mary Kay's Microderm Abrasion set. My skin feels so soft and refreshed when I use it!

That is quite amazing! I am always looking for something to strip my face and this looks rough!
I like the masks that you let dry and peel off
Well I'm not a big fan of bothering too much, but I sometimes end up trying moisturizing masks since my skin really needs it from time to time.
I only moisturize twice daily on advice from dermatologist'
