Includes
- Vitamin C/Peptide Resurfacing Crystals (2.0 oz)
- Lactic/Salicylic Acid Activating Gel (2.0 oz)
Step 1: Apply a teaspoon amount to clean, dry skin. Once applied, crystals should appear almost like a mask. Gently massage in a circular motion over entire face for up to 60 seconds, avoiding eye area. Do not scrub. (Use less pressure for sensitive skin)
Step 2: Place a generous teaspoon amount in the palm of your hand. Massage gel onto fingertips, and apply on top of crystals. As activator is applied, a warming sensation will occur. White foam will appear, indicating activation. Leave foam on 2-3 minutes to infuse vitamin c and peptides to the skin. (You can massage foam for extra exfoliating benefits or let it sit for sensitive skin) Rinse thoroughly. (You can use a washcloth for removal, to avoid getting the peel in your hair.)

Worth the read!!
I have tried going to the dermatologist regularly, proactive, and many more dermatologist only products, and any you can buy from a store! It is pricey, but it lasts and it's worth all the money you'll save on other products and dermatologist visits!! I've tried 5 different products from my dermatol...

No difference
I purchased this as I turn 30 in a few weeks, and really wanted to overhaul my beauty regime. I have an oily t zone and rough skin with closed comedones on my forehead, and read that this product was ideal to combat this. Unfortunately, after following the instructions, no warming sensation occurred...

I would definitely purchase again
This product, though pricey, has been one of my favorites for "resurfacing" and "removing dull skin cells" for years. It does not disappoint.
Renewed my skin
This product has completely made my skin turn a 180! I feel like i started breaking out as if i was a teenager again and started to scar. This product has helped reduce my large pores, the scars and the redness! I am so grateful to have found this product!
Not the same as what I get from philosophy
Ive used this product gor years and normally order from Philosophy. I ordered from Ulta and have tried to use twice. The gel is supposed to gwt warm and turn into a white foam thats almost like a cleanser when activated. This didnt activate at all. So disappointing. Will not order from ulta again.
Great for smooth skin and reduced poor size

I haven't been able to review this until now because I became pregnant just before I received this!! 11 months later and I finally got around to using this. I loved it!! It's quick and easy. Has a pleasant smell to it and leaves my skin feeling super smooth. It doesn't seem to foam up as much as I thought with the second step, but it was gentle on my skin and I had no redness or irritation after. Great product.
Amazing for dry dry skin girls , (at home facial )!

I suffer with acne and dry skin during the winter in New York which can became brutal and frustrating when I try to do my makeup because around my skin around my chin cracks/ peels. When I got sent this I was blown away by how well it worked; my skins well exfoliated without feeling stripped and feeling moisturized and hydrated which I really need. I've been using this once a well and have noticed my acne, acne scars, and smiles lines fading. I also noticed my nose looks more poreless and under eyes looking more hydrated. It's like an at home facial that you can keep using so the price is very reasonable and how well + fast it works its definitely worth it and recommended to all my friends.
