Skin Care Review: St. Ives Peel-Off Hydroxy Masque

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
Tightens the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkes.

Drawbacks
Short lasting. Sticky format.

Details
This product is in a 6oz tube, and is available at most drugstores. It's in the form of a sticky clear gel. The instructions are easy to follow. You simply smooth the masque on to your face, and wait for it to dry completely, at which time it is peeled off the face. It is important to avoid the hairline because it can be uncomfortable to peel the product out of one's hair. Based on my current use, I anticipate that this 6 oz tube will last for 15-20 applications.

As the product dries, you can see its effect on fine lines, and even deeper ones. The skin becomes smoother, pores are tighter, and the appearance of lines is reduced.

There appears to be little to no side effect. My skin did not redden, and there has been no change overall in my skin.

The effect appears to start wearing off within 24 hours. However, I have am using this once or twice a week, and there seems to be a general improvement.

Conclusions
Excellent value for money. Cheap, effective with no apparent side effects.
