Get Your Glow On From Home With NeoStrata's At Home AHA Peels ~ Review

NeoStrata has released two new AHA peels that deliver maximum results with no recovery time. Formulated with the highest level of glycolic acid available over the counter, these new peels will have your skin looking it's best in no time!


NeoStrata has three AHA Peels. The original Skin Renewal Peel Solution (50ml, $75) is formulated with 20% Hydroxy Acid Exfoliation and contains 10% AHA Glycolic Acid and 10% PHA Gluconolatone. This peel is suitable for all ages and is ideal for dull skin, dilated pores and rough skin texture.


The NEW Brightening Peel Solution (40ml, $78) is formulated with 25% Hydroxy Acid Exfoliation and contains 10% AHA Glycolic Acid, 10% PHA Gluconolatone, 5% Fruit Enzyme (Papaya extract) and 2% Genowhite (a lightening peptide for dark spots and brightening). This peel is suitable for all ages and is ideal for dark spots and uneven skin tone as well as dull skin and dilated.


The NEW Anti-Aging Peel Solution (40ml, $78) is formulated with 25% Hydroxy Acid Exfoliation and contains 10% AHA Glycolic Acid, 10% PHA Gluconolatone, 5% Fruit Enzyme (Papaya extract) and 1.5% Anti-Aging Peptides. This peel is suitable for all ages and is ideal for treating wrinkles, lack of elasticity as well as dull skin and dilated pores.

All three of NeoStrata's Peels come in a sleek glass bottle with two packages of cotton pads and a glass dropper. Application is super easy - shake the bottle, fill the enclosed dropper with the peel solution, moisten one cotton pad and apply the treatment evenly on clean, dry skin. After applying the solution to your face, gently massage your skin for 10-15 seconds and leave it on for 5-15 minutes before rinsing off. Once you rinse the peel solution off you should apply a moisturizer. NeoStrata's Post-procedure Repair Cream (review coming soon!) is recommended, but you could easily use whatever you have at home.


NeoStrata's at home AHA Peels are not only easy to use, they're gentle as well. Given the potency of the product, it's normal to experience a temporary tingling sensation or redness. So far I haven't experienced either of these possible side effects. If you have sensitive skin or are a Glycolic Acid virgin, I would recommend leaving it on for only 5 minutes the first time you use it. It's important to note that Glycolic Acid can increase sun-sensitivity so always make sure to wear sunscreen after a treatment. If possible, do the treatments in the evening.


I decided to start off slowly by using NeoStrata's Skin Renewal Peel Solution since it has a lower concentrate of exfoliating properties. I applied it at night and left it on for 15 minutes, 3x a week. I didn't experience any redness or tingling at all. It's an easy to apply liquid, doesn't have a strong scent and it was easy to rinse off. The best part? The size of my pores were dramatically reduced and my skin felt very hydrated.

After a week of using the Skin Renewal Peel I decided to give NeoStrata's Brightening Peel Solution a try. Unlike the original, this peel has a thicker consistency similar to a gel. It has a slight scent to it which isn't overpowering and it is easy to spread on my face and rinse off. I leave it on for 15 minutes and rinse well. Similar to the original, I noticed a huge reduction in the size of my pores and my face looks even and feels smooth. I'm hoping that with continuous use I will see some brightening of my skin.

I haven't gotten around to using NeoStrata's Anti-Aging Peel Solution yet as I want to give the Brightening Peel a full month to see the full scope of it's capabilities. If it's anything like the other two peels (and I'm sure it is) it will be great!

You can find NeoStrata's Peel Solutions at most major drugstores. To locate a NeoStrata point-of-sale nearest to you, visit https://www.neostrata.ca
