Product Review: ItWorks Exfoliating Peel

This month I was lucky enough to be sent a ItWorks Exfoliating Peel to try out and review for you guys! I am sure if you are Instagram active, you will have seen the ItWorks products all over your feed. This was the first ItWorks item I have tried, and here are my thoughts:

SCENT/TEXTURE:

The first thing I noticed about the ItWorks Exfoliating Peel was how good it smelled! It has a very fresh citrus scent, and it was really refreshing. The texture was gel-like, but a little more watered down. You could tell it also had exfoliating beads within the formula.

PACKAGING:

The packaging was very airtight, and it looks really luxurious on my vanity! Everything was easy to use. The product is dispensed through a dropper. In order to get product into the dropper, press down on the button on the top of the packaging, and ta-dah, you have your product!

INTITAL EFFECTS:

The first thing I noticed is the peel doesn’t harden like most peels I have used. The product stays gel-like throughout the whole time. When I washed it off with cool water, I rubbed the gel and beads into my skin to add to the exfoliating effect. BE SURE TO READ THIS: After the product is off your face, you may notice some redness, do not freak out, it goes away! Luckily, Courtney had warned me of this, so I was prepared, but your face does get really red!

OVERALL EFFECTS:

I have used this product three times in the last week. To preface, I have very dry skin. The first day, I had a lot of dry patches on my forehead. I used the product again, and the dry patches were gone. Plus, my skin felt baby smooth, and my foundation sinked into my skin. I used it again, and the same results.

I recommend using an oil after the peel. I used my Josie Maran Argan Oil, and it just added to the softness to my skin! You could also use basic coconut oil.
