Reversaderm Corrective Skin Peel Reviews

The Reversaderm Corrective Skin Peel from Dr Lewinn's is specifically designed to resurface and correct skin for a flawless and even skin tone. I decided to use it as I have scarring from old acne, which look like small red dots, and I get bumps in my skin from whiteheads as well. Basically it seemed like a great product to try for my skin issues.

This skin peel comes in a form of a opaque, whitish gel that you apply all over skin after cleansing and leave on to absorb. It absorbs pretty quickly into my skin and makes my skin look glowing and so fresh. With repeated use it has definitely been improving my overall skin texture. It does contain 15% AHA for that exfoliating boost, but it does mean that it would not be suitable for sensitive skin. I find that once I apply it I feel a cool and fresh sensation on my skin that lasts for approximately 10-15 minutes, but I actually find it quite pleasant and cooling. It may bother other people though.

The packaging is lovely - the pump bottle is great for dispensing the gel and the silver and purples colours look great together.

This serum comes in a 30ml dark blue/silver pump dispenser bottle.
I picked it up while it was 40% off at Priceline after reading an article about it here on BH.

The serum is easy to use, it dispenses easily from the pump with no issues of the pump becoming clogged.
It is clear in colour, the texture is quite silky, the consistency is inbetween that of a serum and a gel. It is not as lightweight as a big majority of serums but is not as thick as most gel products, the consistency is halfway inbetween.
It does have a bit of a chemical scent (which is to be expected with glycolic acid treatments, they do smell quite chemically) which disperses quickly and is not offensive.

I started off using this twice a week but I have dialled the use back to just once a week as I use a couple of other products which can react to this treatment.
Once a week is still plenty for me as this is a highly effective treatment!

I applied this to clean, dry skin and used this solely on it's own. Nothing before or used after, to ensure maximum effect and results.
Upon application of the skin it feels quite refreshing, it has a strong cooling sensation which is quite invigorating!
It can sting a bit but I have found that to be very targeted for me. The only times it has had a noticeable stinging effect on my skin was when I had a breakout, it would only sting in that area.
The stinging was not painful at all, it disappeared after a minute or so.

The serum absorbs very quickly, within five minutes it is completely absorbed and the skin is matte to the touch. No stickiness, film or noticeable residue.
In the morning the skin is very smooth, soft, redness from breakouts has decreased noticeably and my pores look somewhat smaller and less visible.
I did experience actual peeling from this product; around my nose and chin area.
The peeling effect does not last long, a day or two at most and is never a full on face peel.
During this time I did notice my skin was quite sensitive and reactive which surprised me as I have used other glycolic treatments previously and they have not caused any issues.
My sunscreen stung the morning after using this serum but it is an absaloute neccessity when using this treatment, sunscreen spf30+ must be used!

I had a product reaction when using this peel; the Andalou Natural's vitamin c toner reacted with this treatment. When looking into it I found out Vitamin C and Glycolic acid are not meant to be used near each other and when I applied the toner in the morning after using this serum at night I had harsh stinging and quite a nasty breakout. Something to be mindful of if using this serum as it is quite strong and highly effective; be careful what you use with it!

Whilst I had a issue with this serum reacting with another product it hasn't been a negative experience.
This is a very strong treatment, it packs a punch and delivers visible results immediately which will last for a couple of days.
I will definitely be re purchasing again in the future and highly recommend.

If you do decide to purchase this however I recommend being wary of what you use before/after it and be extra vigilant with your sunscreen!
