Review: Maxi-Peel Zero

It's the start of the week again, and I've always kept in mind a line by Spongebob: "Another day, another dollar!" I started the week by being productive and reviewing a new product, Maxi-Peel Zero.

My red days are synonymous with bad skin days. I have been having breakouts recently and hope this product won't disappoint. Me and my sister are avid users of Maxi-Peel (the astringent version). I swear it worked because we had good skin for a while. The bad thing is that there is a rest period due to the harsh formula of Maxi-Peel. During the rest period, our skin is not so good. We also noticed that our skin turns red easily skin turned darker. That is the good and the bad of Maxi-Peel. Anyway, here comes Maxi-Peel Zero right when we need it.


What is it?
Maxi-Peel Zero is:
  • Micro Exfoliant Liquid
  • Anti-acne
  • Smoothening
  • Lightening
  • Cleanses without redness
  • Exfoliates without peeling

Their official page says:

It also helps lighten the discoloration of the skin, such as sun spots, age spots, acne marks, and blemishes. Freckles/Pekas will improve or lighten as you continue to use Maxi-Peel Zero Micro-Exfoliant Fluid. For deep acne scars and warts, best to consult a dermatologist.


Packaging

Experience 
Based on Maxi-Peel's FB page, if you are currently using Maxi-Peel Exfoliant Solution and wants to shift to Maxi-Peel Zero Fluid, it is recommended to observe a 5-7 days rest period first.

Maxi-Peel Zero is supposed to act like a regular cleanser. I use it after washing my face and using Micellar water to remove extra gunk on my face.

As expected Maxi-Peel Zero still contains and smells like alcohol, but it's not as strong as the old Maxi-Peel we all know. I use one cotton ball to apply it to my skin in an upward motion. There is no tingling sensation on my part nor a burning feeling on the part of my face where I have acne.

My skin also doesn't feel tight. It simply feel and look fresh. I apply Aloe Vera gel afterward as a moisturizer. Nowadays, I try to put on less products as possible.

After a week of usage, I can say that my pores are finer. My skin looks lighter too. The bad news is that it causes purging and it doesn't dry them out fast compared to Maxi-Peel astringent. Maxi-Peel is a gentler version so I understand if it doesn't work like its old counterpart. Pimples are not as inflamed when I was not using Maxi-Peel Zero. My face also felt smooth to touch.

The color of the liquid is whitish-yellow. Whenever I use it, my face looks shiny face. Yes, it is still drying but it didn't darken my face. In fact, on my 3rd day, I noticed a fairer skin tone than before.


How much and where to buy it?
I got mine at P79 in Watsons or you can buy it at P75 at HBC or Mercury Drugstores.

What I love
  • Refined pores
  • Smoother skin
  • Ease inflamed pimples
  • Lightened skin
  • It did not darken my face
  • Affordable
  • I can buy it anywhere
What I don't
  • Purging stage
  • It still has the scent of alcohol in it
  • Dries my skin
TIPS
I had a hard time following this rule myself but do not ever try to pop up your pimple during the purging stage. Doing so will just make things worst. I have an inflamed king pimple right now. Sigh~

Will I repurchase it?
Yes. I just did! :)

Overall~
Maxi-Peel Zero is indeed a gentler version of Maxi-Peel. It stays true to all its claims which is a great reason to make the switch!
