Vivo Per Lei Facial Peeling Gel - Exfoliates Dead Skin - Gentle - 4.05 Oz | Exfoliating Gel for Rough, Dry, Sensitive or Mature Skin - Face Peel with Dead Sea Minerals - Non Abrasive

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.

This is the best gel I’ve ever used on my face! I use it everyday and it removes all the dry flaky skin and leaves my skin soft and supple. They say I look much younger than I really am (based on what others are telling me after I used the product regularly). It may not be for everyone but it’s certainly excellent for me! I plan to buy it in bulk the next chance I get! I hope it is never discontinued!

Used this the day I got it and again today. I'll come back and update this later, but for now I wanted to leave some comments: 1.) The consistency is a watery gel and it has no smell - I like that. 2.) You only need a little bit - I bought the two container package deal so this should last me a while 3.) Gently rub it on your skin with your fingers - Don't scrub it in, as it's not necessary! 4.) Those clumps you'll see? It's actually dead skin! At first I thought it was how the product congealed once applied, but those clumps are really dead skin (I'm a skeptic, so tried it on my hand and even on the counter top like another commenter mentioned.) 5.) Don't let it dry on your skin.. it only takes 30 seconds for it to work. This is not a peel off mask.. it melts off your dead skin, but the mask itself does not peel. It's not meant to be left sitting on your face until it dries. Like I said, 30 seconds and you're done! 6.) I rinsed off with a warm, wet washcloth, taking care to remove all of the product from the corners of my nose, etc. 7.) Because I have some dark age spots I'm trying to fight, I figured it wouldn't hurt to apply Nadinola to those areas after using this product. Maybe it will help the Nadinola work better since it won't have to go through dead skin to get to the dark spots. 8.) This product literally melts off a layer of dead skin so you don't want to accidentally get in in your eyes! Wash your hands with soap (I recommend Puracy lavender & vanilla!), taking care to remove any remaining product from under your nails, etc. That way if you rub your eyes later, you are not introducing product to your eyes (like I saw another commenter did.) Already, I'm seeing an improvement! I have combination skin that is also sensitive. My face hasn't broken out and this stuff seems to extract the nasty blackheads I have never been able to fully get rid of from my nose! My face has a "glow" to it after using this gel. Haven't seen that in a while.. woot! Where has this product been all of my life?! UPDATE: Oh my gosh, I'm in love with this stuff! I've stopped wearing foundation for the first time in years! It's really helping my skin look bright & clear. On a whim, I tried it on the bottoms of my feet & it works great there, too! UPDATE II: I’ve just about used up the second container. Ready to buy more. Use it 3Xs weekly now. Immediately after rinsing off, I apply TruSkin’s vitamin C 20% and have noticed even a bigger improvement!! (Note: I do use the C before bed and prior to putting makeup on in the morning.) This combo has greatly reduced age spots, scars, zits, blackheads and it seems to be working on the Melanesia. Wish I would have found this product (and the C) years ago! UPDATE 3: Been using this stuff since January & it’s now the end of August. Still happy!

Not sure if it's exfoliating but I do like the way my skin feels afterwards.

I've been buying this stuff for about three years now, but only recently discovered I can get it cheaper on Amazon than on eBay. So, here we are! First, what you should not expect from this product: miracles. It can take away dead skin beautifully. It can scrape out some of your more stubborn blackheads (although not all, in my experience). It will not remove your wrinkles, skin tone unevenness, or redness. You'll need another product for those things. What you should expect from this product: honestly, the first time you use it, expect to be completely grossed out. Unless you're switching from another exfoliator/microdermabrasion product, you're going to be stunned at how much crap is on your face, and it's going to come off in these little whitish-gray chunks of dead cells that will make you briefly regret ever touching this stuff to your face. That's what happens every time, of course, but the first time is REALLY bad, because you're supposed to use it once a week and what's coming off the first time is weeks upon weeks of old junk. You should expect it to take off dead skin and built-up oil. It will do that. It will be gross. You will look and feel way better for it. So, how the product itself works: I have to confess I've never used another exfoliator. I have a facial cleanser and a moisturizer, but that's it. So I have nothing to compare this to, except my own before/after impressions of myself in the mirror. After use, my face always looks a little redder (due to mild irritation from having stuff rubbed all over it--if you're exfoliating for an event, do it at least a few hours before), but noticeably smoother, and after washing/moisturizing and letting it alone for a few hours to recuperate, I look great! I suffer from severely chapped lips because I live in a desert, and I'm in the habit of biting absentmindedly at the chapped skin. Vivo Per Lei is not for use on lips, but you can use it around lips as long as you wash your face after, and it's very good about taking off the chapped parts right on the edges of my mouth before the skin can chap further, crack, and bleed. One thing I do notice particularly is the appearance of sebaceous filaments (those dark pores on your nose that aren't actually blackheads and are supposed to be there, but can turn into blackheads): mine without any facial care are very prominent, to the point that I get very self-conscious about them. Vivo Per Lei doesn't remove the sebaceous filaments--if you take them out all the way down to the cell base you'll bleed, and I do not bleed when I use this stuff--but it cleans out the stuff inside them that can cause blackheads, and makes them far less noticeable. As far as I'm concerned, that's a huge plus for the product--it takes out the potentially-unhealthy, gross stuff without sacrificing the healthy parts, which is a feature a lot of products lack. If you follow the instructions (I bought my first container of Vivo Per Lei from a kiosk vendor, and was told to use it no more than once a week and rub in a circular motion to apply it), consistent use will leave you with healthy, fresh skin. Be sure to cleanse afterward to remove any clinging bits of debris--there will always be some--and apply a good moisturizer, and you're well on your way to the face you want. One word of caution: be sure you close the cap TIGHTLY. I ran out a few months ago not because my container was empty but because I neglected to close it all the way, and the jelly inside got all hard and rubbery and couldn't be used. Highly recommended after years of use!

Does a great job. My skin looks great. Definitely a good buy

Always excellent. Look i have Seborrheic dermatitis on my face and this helps me clear up my face. Gives me a few days of no flakes. Yes if you have a flaky face this will help you.

This stuff is incredible! For years I dealt with what I thought were ugly black, clogged pores on my nose. No matter how many pore minimizing cosmetics I bought, pore strips that were both gross (I did love seeing the nasty gunk that came out of my "clogged pores"), and other facial products that promised to eliminate them, I came across this in a buzzfeed review of products with thousands of five star ratings. I read the reviews, and that's where I first learned what I thought were clogged pores on my nose are not actually pores at all, but something called sebaceous filaments. Using things like pore strips and squeezing them out makes them worse. I've seen reviews that say this product and others like it are BS & that it's just the product balling up, and not your dead skin. From what I've read on sites that feature dermatologists and skin care experts, that's mostly true, except that dead skin is sloughed off and gets mixed into the little balls that form. I think that must be true, because I can not only feel the difference, I can see it. The filaments on my nose appear much smaller, and don't look like black dots anymore! Dry spots and even some minor discoloration seem to disappear as well. I've tried SO many products before this and none have given me results anything close to this. Most haven't given me any results at all, truth be told. I do have some suggestions people might find helpful with this product. First off, many people recommend following this with Paula's Choice 2% DHA after using this. I didn't care for it personally, as it made my face feel almost a little sticky. I do know other people swear by it, so it's probably worth a try. I've found that toner from DHC is better for my skin. I follow it with Tru Skin Vitamin C Serum, and then moisturizer. If you have any "peach fuzz" on your face, I would highly recommend using a dermablade tool, which shaves it off, as well as some dry skin. I usually do that a day or so beforehand, just to avoid any possible skin irritation. I wish someone had suggested this before I used it. I had very pale, short soft hairs on my face (I get why it's called peach fuzz) that made the product harder to get off. I noticed that several people who gave negative reviews had issues related to that. Finally, I end with moisturizer. I use Olay Regenrist, but I'm in my late 40's, so it obviously isn't for everyone. I hardly ever write reviews, and never write lengthy ones, but this is the one skin care product I I feel strongly about. If you're on the fence, try it. I think you'll be very happy you didn't.

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...

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

Product is 100% fake. We just got a refund. It's honestly the most chemical smelling liquid ever. I used it on my face and it had like a friction like texture and was AWFUL to rub off. trust me - do not buy this.

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

Llevaba tiempo buscando este producto. Lo conocí en USA. Es una maravilla. No he conocido un producto igual en España. Además el precio es muy competitivo.
