Glo Skin Beauty: Retinol + C Smoothing Peel Review

Hi friends! Happy Wednesday!

Today I wanted to share a review with you of the new Glo Skin Beauty Services in a Box Collection that just recently launched! First off plain and simple these services are amazing! If there is one thing you need to know that is it! They are amazing, include everything you could need, and worth the money for the box!

Let me give you a little background on the Services in a Box Collection.  Glo Skin Beauty saw a need for this service in our current situation with quarantine and staying home, which is why they brought the treatment room to our homes. “By reinterpreting, reinventing and reimagining the professional skincare ritual for today’s “socially distant” society,  they have created something entirely new and exceptionally beautiful. Introducing Glo Treatments-in-a-Box, designed exclusively for at-home use. These elevated essentials are sure to bring you renewed radiance and a beautifully restored glow. Glo Skin Beauty products are found everywhere professional skincare is performed. And thanks to this new, highly innovative, multi-step collection, your bathroom is no exception.”

Glo Skin Beauty first launched boxes back in May after realizing the need for at home professional grade skin care services due to COVID shutting down spas. The boxes actually sold out in less than a week and were even featured in Vogue! As a result, they decided to relaunch the Retinol + C Smoothing box and create two new treatments, GlyPro AHA Resurfacing Peel and Bio-Renew EGF Cell Repairing Facial.

I had the honor of chatting with Esthetician and Glo Skin Beauty Global Education Ambassador and Aesthetics lead, Stephanie Scalet as she personally walked me through the steps for the peel so I knew what to expect when doing it myself. Not only was she super sweet she was thorough with the instructions as well as let me know what to expect when going through the peel process. Super helpful and informative!

Now let’s talk about the actual peel itself. I received the Retinol + C Smoothing Peel which is meant to help restore your skin’s radiance with this professional-level, ultra smoothing retinol + vitamin C treatment. The kit includes all products and accessories to perform a complete at-home peel: bringing the treatment room to your bathroom! No appointment necessary. How awesome is that?! The box had absolutely everything I could possibly have needed for my at home peel, they thought of every detail down to the tissue to blot excess product, something I so appreciate!

For those of you that love to know the steps and detailed instructions this part is for your! The box comes with clear and concise instructions for the peel, there are no guessing games here! Below you will find the exact instructions from the box:

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cleanse face with Glycolic Resurfacing Cleanser, avoiding the eye area.

2. Saturate one 2x2 gauze pad with Hydra-Bright Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant (use about half of the bottle). Swipe evenly all over the face, then discard the gauze pad. Allow to dry for about 30 seconds, then saturate the second 2x2 gauze pad with remaining Hydra-Bright Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant and repeat application. Discard gauze pad and allow the face to dry. 

3. Apply Renew Serum evenly to the face (use a pea size amount) and allow to dry for about 30- 60 seconds.

4. Protect sensitive areas of the face with Barrier Balm. Use cotton swabs to apply fully around each eye (encircle the entire orbital area), nostrils, lips and earlobes. Apply to any additional sensitive areas as needed. 

5. Pour contents of Retinol + C Peel Boost in Mask Cup. Open by pushing up on the white top until it snaps off. Take the silver ring and pull down to break the seal, then remove entire outer silver covering. Remove the rubber stopper. Use the Mask Brush to carefully apply a thin, even layer to the face, décolleté and back of hands. It is not recommended to apply to the neck area if you have sensitive skin. Leave on skin for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, use tissue to thoroughly blot off excess product by pressing into skin (do not rub or wipe product off completely). Note: a subtle yellow cast is normal to see after blotting product. Do not apply other products to face until the next morning.

6. Cleanse face the next morning with Gentle Cream Cleanser. To enhance your peel results, apply Renew Serum 3-5 nights per week.

POST PEEL CARE TIPS • Do not vigorously rub the skin, use mechanical scrubs or pick at the skin. • Do not exercise for 24-48 hours post peel. Avoid heat, steam and humidity (especially directly to face). Do not wax or use depilatories for 7 days post peel. • Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher for a minimum of 14 days post peel.

Again I can’t recommend the Glo Skin Beauty Treatments-in-a-Box enough! I was able to take some me time and enjoy a spa service while still being in the comfort and safety of my own home! I’ve also shared a day 1 and day 5 photo below of my results, which only continue to get better! I’ve noticed a huge change in my skin, it looks brighter as well as  improved mask acne I’ve been getting from wearing a mask.  I’m so amazed at the level of quality and detail that is in this product! Definitely a 10 out of 10 for me!
