philosophy: we pioneered a next generation medical microdermabrasion procedure that rapidly resurfaces the skin as it replenishes the skin with vitamin c. the treatment is known as the microdelivery peel. we are proud to introduce an in-home version of this revolutionary treatment. clinical results show that after just one microdelivery peel, 82% of respondents agreed their skin appeared to be resurfaced; 65% of respondents agreed their skin felt brand new; 80% said their skin felt smoother and more refined.

philosophy pioneered the first medical microdermabrasion machine that rapidly exfoliated the skin as it delivered vitamin c deep into the skin. the treatment is known as the microdelivery peel and is popular amongst plastic surgeons and their patients. we now bring a less expensive, less invasive in-home version of the microdelivery peel. we don't just give your skin a peel, we give it a complete skin makeover in just 3-minutes. what makes this next generation microdelivery peel so revolutionary is that unlike peels of the past that only exfoliated, this peel delivers peptides and vitamin c to the skin as it's being rapidly exfoliated. it is resurfacing and replenishing the skin at the same time which is a new approach to skin rejuvenation and best of all, it involves absolutely no downtime.

Summary: Reveal radiant skin
Comment: This simple, at-home peel is wonderful to revitalize your skin. The peel is a two step process invovling a gentle scrub, and then application of a gel over the scrub. After applying the scrub, then wait only 3 minutes, rinse, and voila! Your skin looks healthy, shiny, radiant. I also believe that the peel helps, to a certain degree, with evening skin tone.

I use this peel once a week, although I believe it could be used twice a week. And these sizes should last a long time - several months at the very least.

I highly recommend this peel for at-home use. Just remember, it won't have the results that a cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist can provide with physician-grade treatments. But with that in mind, I love this peel!

Summary: Not For Sensitive Skin
Comment: I have sensitive skin, but the Philosophy counter people tried selling this product to me for YEARS despite my protests. Finally, I bought it as part of a kit. Every time I use it I break out within 48 hours after! I get REAL microdermabrasions and it's a TOTALLY different experience (in the GOOD way!)

Summary: Excellent Product with RESULTS that you can see & feel
Comment: This is one product that I have definitely spent my money on and that I truly believe in. I too received a smaller sample version that, once it ran out, I had to replace.

I use this product once every couple of weeks. When I do, my skin looks completely refreshed, similar to when I get a professional facial at the spa. In fact, I felt a bigger difference using this product than I did after my last facial!


This renews my skin and the renewal feeling and look last much longer than a day. Another reviewer mentioned that you could use a facial scrub and get the same results, but I disagree. With a regular scrub, the result lasts only a day or so. With the peel, my skin looks great for days, even for a couple weeks. In addition, the last time I used it, I noticed a few days later that the skin on my hands felt great, and then I remembered that I had used the peel. So, no matter where on your body you try it, you'll see results.

For me, it's not that I look spectacularly different. I just know that in the past, I'd have clogged pores and they were visible to the eye. Now I use Purity soap on my face daily, and this peel no less than once a month (and often more!)...... and I get compliments on my skin often. I don't have the BEST of complexions, but I get compliments! To me, that's the best part. And I only started getting compliments on my skin when I started using these products.

Many people tell me my skin glows.

I hate to spend this much money on something, but I have to say, I am a loyal customer of this product by Philosophy.

Oh, and my ONLY complaint? If I am spending that much on a product, I sure wish Philosophy would put the product in a MUCH nicer container. The activator bottle is as homely looking as a bottle of glue! At least with some of my other products that I splurge on (Bobbi Brown, Chanel) you get beautiful packaging along with the great (and expensive) product.

Summary: I hate to rain on this parade but...
Comment: What a disappointment. I have oily, sallow skin with clogged pores on my nose. It did nothing for me but make me break out. I've since used other products with Vitamin C and gotten the same result. If you've never used a Vitamin C product before, try out something cheaper before buying this--just to be on the safe side.

Summary: One of the best exfoliators I've tried!
Comment: I am a very big fan of exfoliating - it helps with cell turnover (dullness from aging AND breakout prevention). I've used mechanical and chemical ones. I like that this system gives me some of both.
I like to do this twice a week at night... and follow up with some Ole Henriksen Truth serum and night gel. I swear my skin has NEVER looked better... NEVER. For a day cream, I use the Ole Henriksen Truth serum and Sheer Transformation. You can just get the Ole Henriksen Three Little Wonders ($95 Value)set... match it with this Philosophy Microdelivery Peel kit and I promise you'll be blown away!!
