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...

Very effective! Glowy skin! My OG chemical exfoliation tool!
LOVE this set! Glowy skin. I've repurchased this exfoliation set again and again. It melts dead skin cells. I have dry, fair, sensitive skin with mild rosacea so i use this in the shower for a shorter time than they recommend. It is still HIGHLY effective! With the vitamin C crystals, do not rub your skin. It is more of a chemical effect rather than mechanical exfoliating effect. When the two products mix, it heats up and melts dead skin cells. Then i rinse it all off and GENTLY rub with a washcloth. My skin is baby smooth after. Chemical exfoliants (glycolic, AHA, and lactic acid) work well and don't require me to repeatedly rubbing of my skin to be effective.

I received Philosophy's Microdelivery Resurfacing Peel for free from Influenster and Philosophy in exchange for my honest review. So far, I like the way my face feels after using this product. It leaves my face feeling smooth around my forehead and cheek area. Unfortunately, my nose is feeling, but only around the nostrils. The step 1 scrub has a nice vitamin C scent with small exfoliating particles and gives a slight warming sensation. Step 2 is a clear liquid that is placed on top of the scrub and sits for 2-3 minutes. This is a quick and easy two-step process that I complete in the evening.
A little harsh for my sensitive skin

As someone in my mid 30s who uses tretinoin, I like to keep an exfoliate in my skin care routine to help get rid of flaky skin, minimize the appearance of pores and create a smooth canvas for makeup. I typically prefer a chemical exfoliant over physical ones and exfoliate about once a week so that's how I incorporated this peel into my routine. While I appreciated the concept of combining physical and chemical exfoliation and a two-step treatment, I ultimately found this peel to be a little too harsh for my combination skin. Immediately after using it, my skin felt tighter than I'd prefer and was slightly red, although the redness did fade fairly quickly. I didn't experience significant stinging or peeling right away, but over the following days, I noticed my skin seemed more irritated overall when using this alongside my regular tretinoin routine. I was also unsure if I was using it exactly as intended, since I never experienced the foaming sensation described in the directions during the second step. The instructions were easy enough to follow, but I wasn't sure if the product had fully activated or if I had missed something. After using it once a week for three weeks, I decided to discontinue and return to gentler chemical exfoliates that work better with my skin care routine. My ideal exfoliant leaves my skin feeling smooth and makeup ready without causing irritation either immediately or in the days that follow. I think this peel might work for someone looking for a stronger resurfacing treatment, but if you're already using tretinoin or have skin that sensitizes equally easily, you might want to proceed cautiously or opt for a gentler exfoliant instead.

I've been enjoying this resurfacing peel. It feels gentle on my skin and leaves it feeling smoother and refreshed. I also like that it doesn't leave a heavy or greasy feeling

I really like the overall product. The texture was nice and the value for the product was not expensive. Has a light sent but not overwhelming and lose your skin. Feeling clean and refreshed.

- Q
This product isn't one of those that "plumps" skin within minutes is it?
- Asked by Jujubee
- Official Answer By Philosophy - Brand EngageThank you for your question. Rest assured, this product is not designed to provide instant plumping. However, it does deliver immediate brightening and smoothing results. It uses Vitamin C and peptides to resurface and brighten instantly, leaving your skin incredibly smooth and soft, but it's more about improving texture and dullness than adding volume.
