I have been looking at the Dermalactives Purifying Facial Peel. The description is more than appealing: beneath your old, ugly, dead skin lies a pretty youthful skin just waiting to come out, essentially. I have wrinkles, clogged pores, and hyperpigmentation and this peel is said to be able to tackle all of those problems.
I would have ordered the peel happily already, if it weren't for the hefty price tag. I really don't want to spend $175 on something that will not deliver the results it promises, so I am asking here for reviews. First off, what did it do for your skin and are you happy with the product? Then, how long did the jar last for you?
Thanks!
I will be honest: putting it in my cart hurt. I was really worried it would not work for me and I was making a very expensive mistake.
I was proven wrong. Of course chemical peels can easily cost that much in one go, but this does not come with the downtime chemical peels do. After using the Dermalactives Purifying Facial Peel for two weeks per the instructions I saw fading of my age spots. The puffy eyes are a thing of the past. My skin looks more youthful.
I do not regret buying the Dermalactives Purifying Facial Peel and will probably be getting it again.
Hi,
I came across the Dermalactives Purifying Facial Peel.as well and it sounded really good. However, like you, I wanted to know more before I bought it and that is where I was stopped in my tracks. My conclusion was that the product is "OK" but not, as some say, "worth its weight in gold" (with a price that doesn't differ all that much, LOL). There are plenty of people saying it did not do all that much for their skin. In my case, I decided to look at other, more well-known higher end brands instead. There too, I didn't get such great results. You don't look 10 years younger or anything. I am still sure it contributes though.
What?!? $175? That's like what, 150 quid or so? And that is for the one use yeah? If I'm honest I'd go to a salon 100 times over before paying that kinda dosh on something in a jar that you use at home that may or may not work... unless it had like 1000 positive reviews that were proven not to be people working for the company pretending to be customers. Not even then, mind you. How about a nice salicylic acid peel at the salon instead? With that you know you're gonna get the results you were looking for!
So, I've been digging into this company a bit and I am not impressed with what I have seen so far. The two main things I have discovered is that Dermalactives is not sold in "normal" places but exclusively at kiosks and booths, usually at malls. There, sales representatives sell the overpriced products using high-pressure sales techniques that sound a little creepy if I am honest, and their return policy leaves much to be desired. Indeed, there are people who call Dermalactives an outright scam.
Of course, all of this is based on "internet research" (haha) but one thing that struck me is that I can't find the products on Amazon just by doing a Google search, whereas Ebay turns up right away. It does not sound good to me, in short.

* Users should apply the peel once or twice a week. Contact with the eyes should be strictly avoided. You rub it for a few minutes using small circles, like a face massage. You then wash it off.
*The main ingredients include Glycerin, Propanediol, Collagen, and Elastin and the remaining ingredients can be found on their website. There is vitamin C as well.
* They essentially say that it will unclog pores, reduce pigmentation problems, and tighten the skin. It has done all of this for me.
Can I be honest here?
I know that Dermalactives has somewhat of a cult following and that some swear by it. I don't doubt that some people really do see the results that they say they do and that they are genuinely satisfied customers. But... if you want an honest take on Dermalactives products including that purifying facial peel, you need to cast the net wider than just the Dermalactives website of course. Which is why it is good that there's a topic about it here.
I mean, Dermalactives is really outrageously expensive especially for a line that isn't even medical cosmetics. If I am already going to spend that kind of money, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that I would prefer to go to a professional salon and get pampered there rather than DIY-ing it for that price.
I'm sure that the price is what makes people think Dermalactives is so awesome.. when something is that pricey, it has to be good, right? Well, not necessarily so. I would not waste my money on any of this. You want a fresher face? Get a TCA peel for less than what you would pay for the purifying facial peel!
