| Pros | improved whiter and smoother skin, and you don't need to wear blush-on anymore! lol |
|---|---|
| Cons | well, facial discoloration especially when youre in a hot place, like gym, and you wipe your face with towel or handkie. Peeling. Irritation. |
| Bottom line | First of all I'm a guy. And I'm not ashamed that I use this product. Because it helped me gain back my confidence. And I CLEARLY say that I haven't got paid to make a good review for MAXI-PEEL. :) This was actually my last resort. I was totally against using astringent back then. But as an adolescent, when I was 15 or 16 I started having white heads and pimpleson my face, so I tried to use MASTER facial cleanser and the results were devastating I was thinking like "I'm gonna sue this product". I couldn't get out of the house for a few months, imagine that? MONTHS. And then someone recommended PONDS, it worked a little but, you wont see any GOOD improvements as you want. I also tried PANOXYL (benzoyl peroxide) which was too expensive, unfortunately it didn't work too. I tried to use everything... Wash my face with tea, CALAMANSI, and aloe vera. I was so hopeless. And then I thought I had to work hard, I need to see BELO. lol Then, during college, I was 18 by then, I learned that my all 5 Aunts were using MAXI-PEEL and they have perfect faces. And a friend of mine, which is actually a guy used to use this product and adviswd me to try it. The very next day I went to a drug/grocery store and purchased one. I started with #3 and I saw changes and improvement within a week. Its been 4 years and I'm still using it coz i think it's the best and the CHEAPEST item you can buy over the counter. |

| Pros | Absorbed into the skin Smooth feeling |
|---|---|
| Cons | Itchy Burning sensation Eczema broke out from face to neck (because I applied it) My cheek feels rough ='( It has non prescribed medication (TRETINOIN) in the phillipines. |
| Bottom line | Hey, I'm a bruneian studying in Johor bahru malaysia, basically I'm trying to say is if u look, based my picture I have smooth baby bum face. One time, in my university they have th expo for PC and Chocolate fair, but at one particular corner sells this item 'Maxi-Peel'. I was handout a sample pack 'maxi peel exfoliant advanced'. MOST OF THE TIME, I am totally fine with any sample packs. From face products, to nails even hair! But this was totally different, my eczema broke out! I swear! I only have severe eczema around my right eye corner. And because it itches so much I had to rub my face and instead having my skin peeling to show that the product is working, I'm having mini bumps all over my face( eczema ) and it made my cheek feel rough! I have never feel so upset and against a product to the point I'm willing to surf, create an account just to give my point of view!! Phillipines is a great country, but not their local made products..although not entirely, I MUST say I do not support this brand! No skin regime should make u feel irritated, burning sensation and whatnot! BAH even eczema?! If you really love your skin, and still determined to try just because their spokesperson is flawless, don't be fooled. I am a marketing student, count the negative reviews and compare with the positive ones. I'm sure, the ones said nice things are paid! and if not are just killing their skin! Knowingly tretinoin is not a prescription in the phillipines, then why on earth is it inside the product? It's like having AJINOMOTO aka MSG! Thanks to this MAXI PEEL I can't use anything on my face but, eat my Clarityn pills daily in order to sustain myself from rubbing my face and neck... Aahhh! I even used it at my neck! |

| Pros | Smells Good Not Oily Not Messy when applying Cheap Makes scars on skin and dark parts lighter when applied |
|---|---|
| Cons | Does not really cover totally but it totally covered from about a few inch away but if a close inspection, so obvious. |
| Bottom line | So I have few scars on my forehead because of acne, but I wanted to try this. So I bought it and it is very cheap it is only P84 and 2.50 in $. I tried it the very next day and I loved the scent and not like other creams that make my face very oily, this can make your skin oil too but you will not notice it until you touch it and the oil is not too much. It really hides scars and it made my face's color even. :D |

| Pros | When USED PROPERLY: 1.Clears scars, darkspots, ACNE in 1 week or less. 2. Lightens skin tone. 3. Results can be seen after 2 days of usage. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Skin's NORMAL REACTION: 1. Reddening of the skin - due to tretinoin. 2. Obvious peeling of the dead skin - renewing of your skin peeling off the dry dead skin and changes for a a new healthy one. 3. Stingy feeling when applied. 4. Irritating (sometimes). |
| Bottom line | Some people who have tried this product would say say it is not effective. That's maybe because they didn't know how to use it. 1.) Before using it you should check if you have a very sensitive skin and the severity of your acne. There are 3 kinds of Maxi peel: No. 1 for light cases and sensitive skin. No. 2 for moderate cases No. 3 for severe cases 2.) You should choose the number that suits your acne condition. 3.) Use it only once a day (evening) but NOT DAILY. Your skin will peel after the first or second use. Use it every other day or 2 to 4 four times a week. When your skin starts to peel, that's the time that you should give it a rest from the product until all dead skins are peeled off and then continue untill you are clear and flawless. 4.) Use an alcohol and salicylic acid free moisturizers to prevent it from stinging. Jojoba oil is good. I also use Olay daily sensitive day and night cream. 5.) Your skin will appear dark but it is normal. It will lighten when you are finish using the product. 6.) Avoid touching and picking your face while using the product. Your skin will be sensitive and a bit irritating because of the active ingredients found in this product and it will just irritate it more if you often touch and pick it. 7.) Give yourself a week off (optional) if want to use this product and or if you think you can't manage to go in public with an obvious peeling of the skin on your face. 9.) Eat healthy and drink plenty of water. 8.) When you are finally clear, you can stop using the product and use anti-bacterial, PH balanced facial clears and toners,and acne preventing moisturizers for maintenance. I have experienced of trying different kinds of products, methods and ways of curing acne but none of them worked as effective as the Maxi Peel. Before taking any medications (that can possibly cause lots of side effects), you should consider using Maxi Peel first. I have good looking, |

| Pros | really good product but dont use it daily, when u start peeling thats the time you stop and wait until the peeling subside.. and remember, the key to the success of this product is USE MOISTURIZER ALWAYS! |
|---|---|
| Cons | obvious peeling (cant cover with any powder or concealer) reddish face |
| Bottom line | MAXI PEEL + MOISTURIZER ( a lot)+ sunblock = flawless white skin |

| Pros | starts to peel and whiten after 3-4days |
|---|---|
| Cons | stings when peeling occurs |
| Bottom line | I've been using this Maxipeel #3 for a week now, but not on my face but on my armpit, it peeled great but burned like hell, but I am starting to have a flawless armpit. LOL use it once at night, when the peeling occurs, do not apply anymore so as not to overkill the surface of the skin and not to damage the exposed skin. I also use this on my hips to even out skin color and it is doing great. Do not forget to moisturize during the day and DO NOT PULL THE PEELING SKIN so as not to create lesions to the skin that will be exposed, just let it peel. Now, I will be trying it on my face. :D I will buy #2 tomorrow because I tried using #3 tonight and I think it's overkill |
