Vivo Per LeiFacial Peeling Gel - Face Peel with Dead Sea Minerals - Gentle Exfoliating Gel for Face - 4.05 Fl Oz - Pack of 4

To preface, I have Seboric Dermatitis (a form of eczema). It makes my skin a lovely peeling, disgusting mess around my nose, mouth, chin and a spot between my eyebrows. It's worse in cold, dry winter air (which is half the year in eastern Oregon). It's also worse during stress. So basically about 90% of the time I've been feeling like a snake shedding its skin on my face. It embarrassing and hurts. So I tried a million gentle skin cleaners, creams, oils, everything. Went to the Dr who gave me an anti-fungal cream and told me to mix it half and half with hydrocortisone. Nothing worked. If I scrubbed hard enough with a rag to get the peelings off, it was practically raw.Fast forward about a month ago we went to Vegas. The hotel had three, yes three, of the little stores with barely English speaking people pushing under eye cream bag and wrinkle cream. Somehow my husband was dumb enough to get roped into talking to one of the gals, who was then close enough to grab my arm and propel me into a chair. After putting on the eye cream, I said what I really want is a way to get rid of this nasty peeling mess. She says she has just the thing. Having been to many "parties like melaleuca and Mary Kay" I was like no way are you putting anything on me, I'll peel even worse! So she puts a little gel formula on the back of my hand and gently massaged it in. Talk about a DISCUSTING mess, rolled up pieces of gunk were all over my hand, sort of like when you rub rubber cement, but a couple hundred peeling deals. Did I mention it was gross looking? Anyway she said it's taking off the dead skin cells. I thought ya right, it didn't feel like sand scraping like every other exfoliater I've tried. So I figured it had to just be the gel globbing up and "looking" like dead skin. But when she washed it off my hand was nice and smooth. At that point I was irritated enough with this 20 yr old telling me how old I looked (eye wrinkles) and just wanted to get out of there. BUT I was intrigued with the (slight) possibility this could help my face without it hurting. So I haggled, a jar for $49 and a bunch of other "free gifts". That's a crazy amount of money to me, but nothing when you look at the amount of stuff I tried the lady few years that didn't work and were just thrown away, 100's of dollars worth. So I was ok with this bargain.Also I need to note, there were two types of the shops, Vine Vera and Vivo Per Lei, which seemed identical except in packaging colors. It was the Vine Vera I'd bought.Anyway, went back to the hotel room and tried it on my face. It did the same as on my hand, in the areas of peeling skin, huge rolls of gunk came up, the cheeks and forehead nothing. It didn't hurt (you rub this in GENTLY). Washed it off with a wash rag. ALL my peeled skin was gone! For a couple more days it was STILL gone! This has NEVER EVER happened in the 4 yrs I've been fighting this dermatitis. I think the directions say to use it once a week as basically a micro-dermabrasion. When my peels came back in a couple days I tried it again.Again success and they stay away a couple days!!! I'm gentle and it doesn't hurt. One time I rubbed aggressively on my chin, it hurt some and got some red bumps that stayed a while. Lesson learned, rub gently. Also DON'T use too much, less works, too much is too think and it does nothing. Probably a large pea size is enough for my chin, nose and between the eye brows, possibly a Lima bean size for my whole face is the right amount.Note: I took pictures and I e been outside in the icy wind caring for sick calves for a couple days, so my face is bright red in the dermatitis problem areas. So in these pictures afterwards it looks really red and raw. I PROMISE this is not from this product, it's the cold air and wind. This product isn't for that, it's too remove the peeling gunk. And it does that perfectly.So the Vine Vera worked, but how would I get more? I'm not going back to Vegas for a while, so looked online for a solution. Of course you can buy it on their website for an exorbitant amount. I was perfectly willing to pay the $49 again, I mean this stuff WORKS, but like I said, not near Vegas. So on Amazon I saw this stuff in the Vivo Per Lei brand it it appeared to be the same cream at a small fraction of the Vegas price, and delivered to my door. So I thought what the heck and bought it.Guess what, EXACT same product, works like a champ! It's the BEST thing I've found to combat this sevoric dermatitis. It doesn't take away the red from cold air, but I don't have that if I'm not out in the cold wind. In fact I can actually go WITHOUT makeup if I want when the red flare up isn't there. Haven't done that in years.Bottom line, this is the exact same product as the MUCH higher priced stuff you get at the airport, mall kiosk and hotel stores. I've included pictures to show that. As I said before, don't judge the nasty red in the pictures, that's NOT from this product.Note, since I've been using this gel, the before peeling is probably 25% of what it used to be beige I start now.In the pictures there are product comparisons, before, during (the gross looking stuff) and afterward smooth (albeit red) skin. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone with peeling skin or needing exfoliation. Just don't rub too hard, you DON'T need to.

I had use retina on my face was a mistake. I’m very sensitive skin. I use the product to help exfoliate it help me quite a bit. I use it every other day. I use it very gently on my skin. A little goes along way, but I’ve just very gently, scrub my face gently. That is the way to do it and rinse off and then I apply mask after mask serum, but it does a really good job job and I recommend this product.

I know this is for your face. But I love to use it on my toes, feet and hands. Exfoliates wonderful…

Love how it gets rid of all the dead skin but it leaves your skin extremely dry!

I like it

This product is similar to Avani Dead Sea Facial Peel but not as good. I can't find the Avani Dead Sea Peel so I tried this one. It works somewhat though.

If you like the Dermalactives Triple Collagen Facial Peel but not the price, you're gonna love this! It's the perfect dupe! Looks like it, works like it, even smells like it!This is a lot more effective than a glycolic acid peel for removing stubborn dead skin. No need to use it more than once or twice a week. After you rinse off the peel, pat your face dry with a towel. Put on your favorite non-acidic night cream. And you'll wake up to a brand new, refreshed face!

It might be a language difference, but I wanted something I could put on, let it dry, then peel it Nice, fancy box, and arrived quickly, but definitely not a peel.The worst part is that it glues itself to little facial fuzz hair, that I didn't even know I had. I have to pick each one of these (about a hundred) off of my hairs. Very painful and annoying. I can't go outside until I have all these little balls off.

It sure does the job. Making your face soft and smooth.

Ridicolo... l' effetto peeling che da il prodotto è finto... ovvero quelle briciole che ti rimangono in mano non sono pelle morta, ma gomma di xantana...

Lo he esperado con muchas ansias, solo para que el día que llegue el envoltorio esté semi roto y sea imposible abrir el frasco!!!! Tiene 3 capas la tapa del frasco y una de plástico de seguridad que está enroscada, ya que está roto se me hace imposible jalar para poder ver el contenido!

It’s awesome that we can now get this product in AustraliaReally quick turnaround in expected timeframes.Thank you.

2nd time purchasedGot rid of daughters acne in less than a week and I use it for a skin exfoliatirMy friend bought some for her teenage boys shoulders and the spots have gone there too.Only use once a week but this is a great exfoliator . Can't buy anything as good in department stores with the glycolic content which gives the result
