How To Use

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.)

Q
This product isn't one of those that "plumps" skin within minutes is it?
Asked by Jujubee
Official Answer By Philosophy - Brand Engage
Thank 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.

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...

Duo for dull skin

Nice little duo for days when I need to brighten up dull skin and get rid of dry patches etc. Very easy to use, just apply step one, massage it in for a minute then apply step 2. I did not experience any irritation or redness after using this, which is a bonus, since some exfoliants can have that effect. Nice, easy to spread textures and pleasant scent.

I am absolutely in love with this 2-step resurfacing peel. I had been needing a good facial exfoliation for a while, and this duo does such an amazing job. It's super easy to apply, and the results are just WOW. My skin feels incredibly smooth, looks brighter and literally has that "porcelain skin" effect, soft, glowing and refreshed. The only thing I wish? That the bottle was bigger 😂 Definitely a new favorite in my skincare routine.

I'm actually very pleased with this product! I really thought it'd irritate my skin but it didn't! This made my skin look and feel 10x better! It helped with the texture of my skin and with my pores! It absorbs nicely and surprisingly didn't dry out my skin! I had a little redness but that's normal for me! I will definitely be keeping this in my skincare routine! 10/10 I recommend!

The application process was easy to understand and apply the product.I got no irritation to the skin during the applying process. This is one of those products. That will leave your skin feeling softer, cleaner, and brighter right away, which is why I will stay loyal to it for years to come.. But if people expect acne scars, deep wrinkles, or major discoloration to disappear overnight, this probably won't fully deliver that. But it will leave skin feeling extremely smooth after one use Gives a brighter, more refreshed look Works as both a physical and chemical exfoliant I say it feels like an at-home spa treatment I fell with a combination of aging skin, saying it helps with texture and dullness

I'm so in love with Philosophy skincare line, this kit includes two products, the first one is like a balm that smell like oranges, the texture is creamy and exfoliating at the same time. The second product came in a tiny bottle but oh my goodness! It is super effective. I instantly felt calmer skin. This duo doesn't irritate my skin at all. Best duo ever!.
