Beautycounter Reflect Effect Overnight Resurfacing Peel

Contains Phenoxyethanol

PROS: Softer and radiant skin, balanced tone, natural glow over time.

CONS: Smell, contains phenoxyethanol (a preservative used in a wide range of personal care products)

This product works and has done wonders for my skin. It's one I would love to continue to use, but the presence or phenoxyethanol and the awful smell has me searching for a better alternative. The use is restricted to less than 1% in EU and Japan, but there is no such restriction in the US so there's no way of knowing how much is included in this product or others. If you have eczema or sensitive skin you're more likely to react. While this product has not caused a reaction for me I personally want to lean towards cleaner ingredients so will be looking to replace this with something else.

Great creams

I love using the pink bottled Tripeptide Radiance Serum, the yellow jar of All Bright C Serum, and the overnight resurfacing peel. One concern: I am a scuba diver and travel all over the world. Your products are not packaged in travel-friendly containers. Any way you can have some type of travel soft tubes for travel that are refillable for ease of use and eco-friendly? Many of us scuba divers are extremely aware of the eco friendly needs of other countries and try to leave little if any footprint on the 3rd World Countries we visit. Thank you for considering this request.

Awesome product

I got this because I had a skin cancer removed over 3 years ago from the side of my nose near my eye that left a noticeable red scar. I've been using this product every other night on my full face and neck for just over a week now and have seen amazing results in the decrease in redness already. And it's minimized the pores on my nose into oblivion so added bonus! When I wake up my skin tone looks even and my complexion is glowing. The smell is god awful. Something like lemon body odor. It does fade away some and I've started using a moisturizer with scent afterward to help. But even with the smell I give this 5 stars because of the results. I will definitely be keeping this in my routine

WOW!!!

SUNSCREEN best sunscreen ever! I use it as a moisturizer and not greasy at all. It also evens out my skin tone so I dont have to wear makeup cause it makes my skin look awesome! Definitely notice a difference if I dont wear this.

BEYOND BRIGHT MINIS

love the bamboo polish and the cleansers are awesome. The counter match is a staple for ALL skintypes and ewg verified. Doers not leave skin feeling dry at all. Lipid defense is great moisturizing cleanser for winter and aging. Wonderful cleansing oil.

RESURFACING PEEL

Does not irritate or burn skin like a lot of peels with aha glycolic etc do. Be aware of sun when you use products like this or especially to vita c treatments which is another review. Yous skin is more photosensitive so not to sound like an ad but if you use this use sunscreen (preferably sheer defense ((ewg verified)))

RESURFACING PEEL

The best nighttime serum I use in my routine!

I am on my second bottle. I turned 40 last year and have noticed dull looking skin, aging spots, fine lines. I use this serum every other night after washing my face. I also use a night moisturizer after putting on about a dime size of the peel serum. First, I noticed a difference in the way my makeup looked on my skin. Now if I don't wear makeup,my skin looks nice and have a slight shine to it! This product is great! I have tried several beauty lines/products and I am finally seeing results with this product. I will be a continuing customer. I am also excited to explore more of this product line.

So far so good!

I've been using this product for just over a week and so far so good! I really like how light it is — goes on really nicely and feels refreshing. I use it at night (a few days a week) and pair it with the Countertime radiance serum and night cream, and my skin has been super moisturized and is definitely glowing. This is really saying something because it's been below freezing where I live this whole time. I'm not seeing amazing results on my hormonal chin acne (though the rest of my skin and neck/chest are looking great acne-wise), but I'm going to give it some more time to work there. I'm switching off retinoids so I know it can take a bit for everything to balance itself out. Overall I'm really satisfied!!

Truly Impressed!

I decided to try BeautyCounter's Supreme Cream at night beginning in October. I had never tried them before (honestly, because of the price). I appreciate safe, clean skincare and their mission was one I support. The Overnight Resurfacing Peel was a surprise. It came as a trial size in the welcome kit. I was cautiously skeptical since my skin is aging, dry and sensitive but I decided to give it a try. Well, this 62 year old girl has been absolutely Amazed! After only 3 weeks of use, I honestly can tell such a difference! I chose to use the resurfacing peel every other night. It has now been about 8 weeks and I have not experienced any irritation as I have had with other products and I have had no excessive drying. After letting it dry about 12 minutes, I follow it with the Countertime Tetrapeptide Supreme cream at night. I sincere have been amazed at how quickly my skin has become brighter with a natural glow that has been noticeable by others. I am thrilled to say this is a winner! My only regret is that I should have taken a before picture the first night that I started for a strong comparison. Thank you for this wonderful product. (Get passed the smell. It is worth it.)

THE ULTIMATE

Hey, at 88 years old I have finally found something that assures me I don't have to wait for cremation to attain that smokin' hot body! Oh that's right, we're talking about the face. Well, with my charming smile and the amazing effects of my Overnight Resurfacing Peel I'll have to use my cane to fight off the studs chasing after me.

Seriously, I love my product so much and hope to use it for years to come, as it reduces the aging appearance dramatically. I only wish I could have found this 50 years ago. I might have been on the cover of a beauty magazine.

Works, but Eww that smell

Omg! The first time I used the peel I smelled terrible. The second time I used a fan to dry it on my face and gave it 3-5 minutes before adding moisturizer on top. The fan really helped. This product has a lemon and dirty dishrag smell. Not great at all. Being a natural product can do that. Drying it and leaving it for a few minutes makes all the difference.

I was going to return it, but wow my face just looks radiant in the morning.

(Not everyone can smell anything, but lemon freshness) I hope you are one of those. If not, then let it dry fully before sealing it in with moisturizer.

FANTASTIC

I use to go to spa's and get chemical peels until I had my organic acids tested and found out how many toxic beauty product chemicals are in my body. I am so glad what I found the EWG site and have made the switch to BC resurfacing peel. I was skeptical about if it was actually going to work, but I couldn't be more satisfied!! It is works fantastic and it is safe for my skin and body. I wish more men and women understood how many toxins are in our body care and make-up products and how much damage we are doing to our cells by unregulated products.
