Product Description
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 among plastic surgeons and their patients. philosophy has a less expensive, less invasive at home version of the microdelivery peel that provides immediate results with no downtime. it resurfaces and replenishes the skin with peptides and vitamin c so skin feels significantly smoother and appears positively radiant.

my favorite skincare product February 28, 2010
nc mtn gurl (north toe river)
In my opinion, this is the best product Philosophy has. It really doesn't take much to give you a wonderful exfoliation. If you divide the cost by the number of uses you get, it's not that bad. I've been using this about 2 years, twice a week. It's such a treat for my 49 year old skin, it leaves it soft and smooth. I love the look afterwards. I also put it on the backs of my hands. I tried a cheaper, similar drugstore product, but my face felt greasy afterward.
 Pretty nice even with sensitive skin/acne BUT use sparingly January 12, 2010

(20 yr old female w/sensitive skin and some acne). I have seen a positive improvement in my skins appearence, but with my skin type I have had to alternate with cetaphil to keep from overdrying. I LOVE the way the dermabrasion makes my skin feel like silk.... but if you have sensitive skin just beware that after the dermabrasion do not use the cleanser they give you use a moisture replacing cleanser and a really good moisturizer.... I did the routine and only used the products they sent me and for my skin it caused my face to puff up a little like it was an allergic reaction and very dry and flakey which is bad.... but I learned and let my skin recover and my face looks pretty good I think it has been helping my acne pretty well too! and my skin looks brighter. I have to admit when I ordered this I did not realize it was geared toward anti aging because it sends lip and eye serum for wrinkles and at 21 its not necessary. A bonus is that the red marks from previous acne almost gone, example had a almost lipstick red postmark on my forehead of all wonderful places, and usually one like that takes some time to fade (months), and this was like a very light pink the NEXT day.... and 4 days later after skin completely healed practically gone. AND one more nice thing I have noticed is I have scarring also from my acne =(, and somehow the microdermabrasion has been closing up my scars some and my skin has NEVER since I was 14 been this smooth and I feel like I dont need makeup like I did before. AWESOME
BE CAREFUL WITH THIS PRODUCT IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN

This product is NOT for everyone. If you have sensitive skin or don't want to risk a massive breakout, stay away.
I've used a lot of skin products, and quite a few by philosophy as well. My skin can be problematic at times, but usually it is pretty balanced and normal- not particularly sensitive. Well, I bought and used this product due to the great reviews, and it dried my skin out and made me break out. I had flakes peeling off as well as several zits. It was close to my period so I figured that might have been responsible, and since I paid so much for the product and it got such great reviews I tried it one more time. Boy am I SORRY!!! It has been three weeks and my face is still covered in acne, with red splotches and dry patches that are taking much longer than usual to heal. My friend asked what had happened to my face and when I told her she said she had experienced something similar with this product. If you have sensitive or dry skin, definitely stay away. Everyone else should proceed with caution.
I hate to give philosophy a bad review, but my skin was great and now it is destroyed...
Reveal radiant skin May 9, 2008
A Davis (Pinedale, WY)
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!

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!)
