That's what my Pilates instructor said to me when she saw me after I used this!

What is it? It's called a peel but it's more of an exfoliator from the Ordinary and it's amazing!
When they talk about "glass skin", they are talking about this. What does it do? It removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin brighter and smoother. What's in it? It's an AHA 30% plus BHA 2% Exfoliating Peeling solution which means it contains both alpha and beta -hydroxy acids. In other words, it's got what we need to get great looking skin.
The Ordinary recommends this for experienced users of exfoliating acids. To be truthful, this is the first time I ever used a product like this and I had no problems at all. But to be safe, they do recommend doing a patch test. One thing for sure. I followed the directions and left it on for the 10 minutes they say and then rinsed it off.
So how do you use this. First, it's recommended to do in the PM. I've used it during the day as well. Especially if I'm going to some special event because every time I've used it and followed up with make-up I get "glowing remarks", "what did you do to your skin "or your make-up looks great. Did you do something different"?
First step it to clean your face with a gentle cleanser and wait for your skin to dry. Then, apply the solution evenly across your face with your fingertips and leave on only for 10 minutes. It's bright red in the bottle and goes on bright red. I was a little intimidated by that but that was for about 10 seconds. So put it on, leave on for just 10 minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm water.
What to do afterwards? I apply the Ordinary's Hyaluronic acid to help draw moisture back into the skin. Then a moisturizer. Do not use any retinoids before or after this. Don't use your vitamin C after this or any glycolic acids.
I literally have become addicted to this and use at least twice a week. It's a game changer and everyone who wants to see an instant change in their skin should try it.
After I told my Pilates instructor how to get "skate ready skin", she too became addicted. And so has everyone else who has tried it.
Amazon has a great buy on getting this peel with the Ordinary's hyaluronic acid. The two work hand in glove together. And when you hear "I could skate on your face" you can just smile or tell them your secret:)
Let me know what you think!
