Pretty nice even with sensitive skin/acne BUT use sparingly
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
(20 yr old female w/sensitive skin and some acne). I have seen a positive improvement in my skins appearence, but with my skin type I have had to alternate with cetaphil to keep from overdrying. I LOVE the way the dermabrasion makes my skin feel like silk…. but if you have sensitive skin just beware that after the dermabrasion do not use the cleanser they give you use a moisture replacing cleanser and a really good moisturizer…. I did the routine and only used the products they sent me and for my skin it caused my face to puff up a little like it was an allergic reaction and very dry and flakey which is bad…. but I learned and let my skin recover and my face looks pretty good I think it has been helping my acne pretty well too! and my skin looks brighter. I have to admit when I ordered this I did not realize it was geared toward anti aging because it sends lip and eye serum for wrinkles and at 21 its not necessary. A bonus is that the red marks from previous acne almost gone, example had a almost lipstick red postmark on my forehead of all wonderful places, and usually one like that takes some time to fade (months), and this was like a very light pink the NEXT day…. and 4 days later after skin completely healed practically gone. AND one more nice thing I have noticed is I have scarring also from my acne =(, and somehow the microdermabrasion has been closing up my scars some and my skin has NEVER since I was 14 been this smooth and I feel like I dont need makeup like I did before. AWESOME
BE CAREFUL WITH THIS PRODUCT IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN
Fantastic!

This treatment is super easy to use and smells yummy. I have used other philosophy products and have generally been pleased with the results. This product is probably the best I’ve used so far, with the exception of the purity face wash which is the absolute best thing on earth. My pores have almost totally disappeared and my skin is smooth and creamy looking. I highly recommend this product.
Immediate Results!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I am a skin care junky. I have gone through so many products and brands that promise immediate results. Most things take time to work however from the moment I used this peel I saw immediate results. You want your skin to look clearer, radiant, more even toned instantly? Not to mention the unbelievable soft feel. Then this is the product to use.
I am also sensitive in certain areas so I don’t use the peel in those areas like the folds of my nose. However this has never made my skin irritaed or red. I am very impressed by this product. It promises to get rid of dull skin and that is exactly what it does!
sounds great

I’m 13 years old, and have heard all about how wonderful these philosophy products are. I’m just curious if I’m old enough to use it, or if it will damage my skin because I’m younger than most people using this. I am already used to washing my face every morning and every night (and trust me, I haven’t forgotten to wash my face since february 19 2005.) Along with scrubing, steaming, and put a mask on once a week, I also get a facial once a month. Hope these products work for me, please reply soon!
One of the best exfoliators I’ve tried!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I am a very big fan of exfoliating – it helps with cell turnover (dullness from aging AND breakout prevention). I’ve used mechanical and chemical ones. I like that this system gives me some of both.
I like to do this twice a week at night… and follow up with some Ole Henriksen Truth serum and night gel. I swear my skin has NEVER looked better… NEVER. For a day cream, I use the Ole Henriksen Truth serum and Sheer Transformation. You can just get the Ole Henriksen Three Little Wonders ($95 Value)set… match it with this Philosophy Microdelivery Peel kit and I promise you’ll be blown away!!

What a disappointment. I have oily, sallow skin with clogged pores on my nose. It did nothing for me but make me break out. I’ve since used other products with Vitamin C and gotten the same result. If you’ve never used a Vitamin C product before, try out something cheaper before buying this–just to be on the safe side.
I wish I didn’t have to write this… AWFUL

This product is NOT for everyone. If you have sensitive skin or don’t want to risk a massive breakout, stay away.
I’ve used a lot of skin products, and quite a few by philosophy as well. My skin can be problematic at times, but usually it is pretty balanced and normal- not particularly sensitive. Well, I bought and used this product due to the great reviews, and it dried my skin out and made me break out. I had flakes peeling off as well as several zits. It was close to my period so I figured that might have been responsible, and since I paid so much for the product and it got such great reviews I tried it one more time. Boy am I SORRY!!! It has been three weeks and my face is still covered in acne, with red splotches and dry patches that are taking much longer than usual to heal. My friend asked what had happened to my face and when I told her she said she had experienced something similar with this product. If you have sensitive or dry skin, definitely stay away. Everyone else should proceed with caution.
I hate to give philosophy a bad review, but my skin was great and now it is destroyed…
Wonderful!

I really like all the products I have gotten from Philosophy, but this is one of my favorites. Works great!
Philosophy Vit C Peel Kit
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I spend a lot of time in the dirt and in the sun and the wind, so my face takes a beating. I already use several Philosophy products. I had received a sample of this Vit C Peel with one of my orders and I really liked it, so I got the full kit. This product is terrific. It takes away all those little imperfections in the skin, leaving a glowing complexion.
Trust me, after a week in the desert, wearing heavy sunscreen which attracts dirt and grit, my face is really a mess. One of the first things
I do when I get home is to give myself a Philosophy Vit C Peel.
I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a boost for her complexion.
The results are amazing.
IT SMELLS LIKE FRESH ORANGES!

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. THE CRYSTALS SMELL LIKE FRESH ORANGES. THE ACTIVATOR FEELS WARM ON MY SKIN AND THE PRODUCT LEAVES MY SKIN FEELING FRESH, RENEWED AND SOFT.
I am hooked!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have become a Philosophy fan after trying several of their products and have recently purchased about all of the skin care line! After using the product you can immediately see and feel the difference! I am totally hooked! My skin is the clearest it has ever been and people comment on how radiant my face looks! I use the whole skin care line now and I would recommend this to all the 30 and 40 somethings out there that are tired of spending a fortune on products that promise and dont perform. I just LOVE Philosophy!!!
Not For Sensitive Skin
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I have sensitive skin, but the Philosophy counter people tried selling this product to me for YEARS despite my protests. Finally, I bought it as part of a kit. Every time I use it I break out within 48 hours after! I get REAL microdermabrasions and it’s a TOTALLY different experience (in the GOOD way!)
Reveal radiant skin
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This simple, at-home peel is wonderful to revitalize your skin. The peel is a two step process invovling a gentle scrub, and then application of a gel over the scrub. After applying the scrub, then wait only 3 minutes, rinse, and voila! Your skin looks healthy, shiny, radiant. I also believe that the peel helps, to a certain degree, with evening skin tone.
I use this peel once a week, although I believe it could be used twice a week. And these sizes should last a long time – several months at the very least.
I highly recommend this peel for at-home use. Just remember, it won’t have the results that a cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist can provide with physician-grade treatments. But with that in mind, I love this peel!
Philosophy Vitamin C Peel Kit
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I really like this product, it leaves the skin feeling clean and smooth.
I like the warm sensation after you apply the lotion to the orange scrub!
I would purchase this product again!
Excellent Product with RESULTS that you can see & feel
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is one product that I have definitely spent my money on and that I truly believe in. I too received a smaller sample version that, once it ran out, I had to replace.
I use this product once every couple of weeks. When I do, my skin looks completely refreshed, similar to when I get a professional facial at the spa. In fact, I felt a bigger difference using this product than I did after my last facial!
This renews my skin and the renewal feeling and look last much longer than a day. Another reviewer mentioned that you could use a facial scrub and get the same results, but I disagree. With a regular scrub, the result lasts only a day or so. With the peel, my skin looks great for days, even for a couple weeks. In addition, the last time I used it, I noticed a few days later that the skin on my hands felt great, and then I remembered that I had used the peel. So, no matter where on your body you try it, you’ll see results.
For me, it’s not that I look spectacularly different. I just know that in the past, I’d have clogged pores and they were visible to the eye. Now I use Purity soap on my face daily, and this peel no less than once a month (and often more!)…… and I get compliments on my skin often. I don’t have the BEST of complexions, but I get compliments! To me, that’s the best part. And I only started getting compliments on my skin when I started using these products.
Many people tell me my skin glows.
I hate to spend this much money on something, but I have to say, I am a loyal customer of this product by Philosophy.
Oh, and my ONLY complaint? If I am spending that much on a product, I sure wish Philosophy would put the product in a MUCH nicer container. The activator bottle is as homely looking as a bottle of glue! At least with some of my other products that I splurge on (Bobbi Brown, Chanel) you get beautiful packaging along with the great (and expensive) product.
