Maxi-Peel Sun Protection Cream Review

I guess Blogger just became mobile-friendly! I used to not be able to blog through my phone but all of a sudden I now can! Good for you, Blogspot. I’m thinking of switching to Wordpress because I’ve been having too many issues with this site lately - can’t upload new photos and the template layout is changing from time to time. Sometimes, it’s becoming unresponsive. I struggle with design and HTML, you know. I can barely keep up with blogging!

When I started this blog, I thought of it as a channel where it’s like I’m only writing in my diary with no pretenses. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy as long as  I am open and honest. Now it feels like I have to compete with others by buying expensive templates and even a domain of my own. Ugh.

I didn’t realized that I started with a rant. My apologies. Anyway, here’s the last installment (is it?) to our Maxi-Peel review series.

CLAIMS

Maxi-Peel Sun Protection Cream is a non-greasy, lightweight cream that protects skin from sunburn and hyperpigmentation. It contains SPF20 that shields skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays which contribute to skin damage that can last up to 5 hours. Use Maxi-Peel Sun Protection Cream during day time when you apply Maxi-Peel Exfoliant Solution at night for added protection during the entire exfoliation process. Re-apply as needed.

SCENT, CONSISTENCY AND EASE OF APPLICATION

This product has an insignificant scent, a bit weird and sunscreen'y but not offensive. It has an opaque white color and a creamy consistency. The cream is quite thicker than sunscreens I would normally use on a daily basis, nonetheless, it still feels comfortable as it dries to a semi-matte finish. Maxi-Peel Sun Protection Cream isn't the most lightweight sunscreen out there but still lightweight and easy-absorbing on its own.

I've tried other sunscreens that cause makeups to get all patchy. Sometimes, the cream and makeup pill and roll together. Because of the sun protecting ingredients, they can even cause white casts. I haven't experienced those with Maxi-Peel Sun Protection Cream fortunately. It can be layered under makeup without compromising the coverage. You can also easily apply it on its own whenever necessary and just douse some powder for a fresh look. The white pigment from Titanium Dioxide somehow contributes to instant skin brightening.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

Maxi-Peel Sun Protection Cream has three UVA/UVB blockers: Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Diethylamino, Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate and Titanium Dioxide - all of which are safe and effective. It also has Glycerin to moisturize the skin and has very little irritants. With regular use, my skin isn't clogged and irritated. This sunscreen is easy to wash off with oil cleansers.

This is an okay sunscreen for me in terms of formulation. My only concern is that it's lacking on the sun protection level. In a tropical country and most especially during summer, I believe that we need to use products with SPF not lower than 35 to make sure we're protected from the sun's harmful rays. This is advisable to be used together with Maxi-Peel Exfoliant Solution which I'm very skeptical about. If the skin is peeling, there's much more need to use stronger sunscreens.

The price is very affordable so if you are a bit tight on budget, this is a good alternative especially effective sunscreens usually comes at a steeper price tag. I just feel more secured in using high SPF sunscreens so I don't think that I'll be repurchasing Maxi-Peel Sun Protection Cream anytime soon. Splash is a very well-known and reputable brand so I would assume that there's always a place for improvement.

What do you think of this product? Care to share?

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.
