Maxi-Peel Facial Wash Review

Time flies so swiftly. Checking my previous posts, I found out that the last time I posted a blog was about a week ago. Hmf. April's almost over and it seems like I'm still into procrastinating. Staying at home is becoming unbearably boring and the only thing that's keeping me sane right now are K-dramas. I even signed up for my own account in Netflix hoho. I was only sponging off on my friend's account previously LOL. Going back, today's blog will be a continuation of our Maxi-Peel review series.

CLAIMS

Maxi-Peel Facial Wash is an anti-bacterial and deep cleansing wash which contains micro beads that lifts away deep-seated dirt and excess oil. It also helps dry up and remove pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Maxi-Peel Facial Wash is vitamin enriched with Vitamins B3, B5, and E.

INGREDIENTS

Maxi-Peel Facial Wash have acids and chemicals that are quite alarming especially for sensitive skin. However, there are also notable ones that are beneficial to problematic skin types. There are potent ingredients for anti-aging and brightening (Niacinamide, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Tocopheryl Acetate or Vitamin E), and also for fighting acne (Salicylic Acid). Oh, at the moment, my skin is loving Niacinamide!

Apart from these, Maxi-Peel Facial Wash is paraben-free, sulfate-free, alcohol-free, silicone-free and EU allergen-free.

PACKAGING

Like I've mentioned on my previous Maxi-Peel blogs, I used to love the scrub variant. I couldn't find any when I went to the drugstore so I have to settle to the original one. I've been using both simultaneously before anyway. I think the only difference between the two are the presence of fine, gentle scrubs.

Maxi-Peel Facial Wash comes in sachet packs and tiny tubes which is way more travel-friendly since those are leak-proof. I couldn't travel this quarantine season anyway so what's the use. I appreciate that all the necessary information are printed at the back of the sachets so no need for me to google or something.

SCENT, CONSISTENCY AND EASE OF APPLICATION

This product has a subtle cooling fresh scent which is not offensive to sensitive noses. Turns out I like it.

The consistency and the look of the product is very typical to foam cleansers. It’s kind of thick and lathers richly when applied on wet skin but rinses well without any residue. Honestly, you don’t need a lot for the whole face. A sachet could last more or less two weeks (twice application per day).

This is a facial wash that has the tendency to dry out your skin so you may not want to soak your skin for too long. It leaves your skin feeling squeaky clean and a bit tight afterward that it may crave for some moisture. I would say that those with dry/sensitive skin should use it sparingly.

PERFORMANCE

This product is very cooling to the skin. As I have mentioned, it’s a bit drying so using it on peeling skin is a no-no for me. My skin was sore and itchy when I tried to use it together with the Maxi-Peel Exfoliant Solution. It became red and blotchy all over. It would be best to use this product on normal days for maintenance.

So far, I would say that it really does well in brightening the skin and make it appear clearer. This is with regular use of course. It took me about 4 sachets or so to notice an effect - my skin is more glowing and blemishes are less noticeable. The time I spent with it was not so bad at all considering the price I paid for.

So if you are looking for beauty products that are budget-friendly, this should be one of your options. I would consider using it again someday as this didn’t block my pores or break me out. It would be best to use it together with other Maxi-Peel products for maximum effect.

Maxi-Peel Moisturizing Cream Review

The past few days were all about movies and series and today, I just finished watching How To Train Your Dragon 1-3. I'm not really into animation but I kind of enjoy watching them LOL. I think the dragons are rather cute than scary, most especially Toothless! Anyway, here's the continuation of Maxi-Peel review series I have thought of doing this quarantine season. Today, I'm going to share a quick review of Maxi-Peel Moisturizing Cream.

Again, this isn't the first time I tried this product. Maxi-Peel has been around for years and I don't think anyone who's beauty-obsessed will find Maxi-Peel an alien brand. I was in college the first time I've tried this and though that was years ago, I don't think they reformulated this cream. One thing for sure is, it has became much more cost-efficient since they made the product bigger with just the same price tag. With only P14, you get to last it for about a week or so.

CLAIMS

Maxi-Peel Moisturizing Cream is a non-greasy, quick absorbing cream that provides maximum moisture to keep skin soft, smooth and supple. It helps hide visible effects of exfoliation such as flakiness and dryness. Use nightly to provide skin hydration and moisture.

SCENT, CONSISTENCY AND EASE OF APPLICATION

This product has a subtle floral-like scent which I like. It's not offensive at all even for sensitive noses. The cream is white in color and despite the slightly thick formulation, it absorbs easily without any stickiness. It's soft and silky, almost silicon-y when applied. This is probably because of the presence of Dimethicone. It looks matte as well but skin feels highly moisturized underneath. I tried it with a foundation and so far, it did not roll and pill. My foundation looks okay too.

My only concern is that it makes my skin warm up faster and gets super oily after a few hours. Because of too much oil, my base makeup cakes and moves around. This is why I wouldn't want to use it as a moisturizer if I will be using makeup. On its own, it's a good product to use n a daily basis to moisturize the non-problematic skin.

PERFORMANCE

I have tried this product when my skin is peeling in the hope of hiding the dry patches and dead skins. However, not only this product stings so much, it also heightened the look of the peeling skin and I don't get it. I mean it was advised to use with the exfoliant solution but I don't find them to be a great duo. Again, I would think that you have to use it on its own when you're skin is done peeling and is already on the healing stage.

Despite all that, I appreciate Maxi-Peel Moisturizing Cream and I really like the texture of the cream and how it was formulated. I like how it glides well on the skin. Though it makes me oil up more, I could easily fix that with a mattifying powder. It's really hot and humid anyway. I might use this again on colder days.

I like how it get rids of dry and taut feeling so it's probably best for those with dry skin. The best thing is that it doesn't clog my pores or cause breakouts when I use it years back and even just recently. I just hope that it comes with a high-strength sun protection so it would be a nice alternative cheap moisturizer.

If you have sensitive skin, better do a patch test first. Please know that it has ingredients that may clog the pores or may cause adverse reactions. Watch out for the Cetyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Isopropyl Myristate, Citric Acid, Dimethicone, Triethanolamine, Mineral Oil and Fragrance. If you had any bad experience with the aforementioned ingredients, be more cautious and consult your dermatologist.
