NEOGEN BIO-PEEL GAUZE PEELING GREEN TEA
They have 3 different types of peeling pads: wine version, lemon version and this is the green tea version. There are 30 single-use exfoliating pads inside the tin. It is a gentle peeler that will remove dead skin cells creating a clearer and smoother complexion. The star ingredient is obviously green tea (minerals), that is an anti-oxidant that prevents pre-mature aging and is an anti-inflammatory that helps to soothe irritated skin. It is a 100% cotton mesh gauze pad. It will also remove any make up residents that you have on the skin.

HOW TO USE
The peeling pad is green, soaked in product. I use this after cleansing, after removing make up. Use one piece of peeling pad, slip 2 fingers into the sleeve and follow the following steps:
STEP 1:
Use gentle, circular motions all over a dry face and neck, working your way up to your forehead. This will remove debris.
STEP 2:
After that, rotate the pad so that the "bubble" side is facing down. Swipe the softer side across the face to pick up the remaining debris. Throw away the pad and you can rinse it off with lukewarm water. Follow with the remaining steps of your skin care routine. Use twice a week.

FINAL THOUGHTS
I was dying to try these! I love green tea products in general which is why I didn't get the lemon or the wine peeling, but directly went for the green tea version. These pads feel very cooling, it is a gentle exfoliator and you can manage the pressure yourself, so if you want an exfoliator that is more harsh, just use more pressure. I personally love gentle exfoliators so I only go through my skin lightly to remove dead skin cells and left over make up. It does a great job with that and it makes my skin moist and radiant afterwards. These pads have a strong scent, it has a fresh green tea scent to it but I can definitely smell alcohol as well. I am not a big fan of the scent, but it's not that I wouldn't use it anymore, I can bear with it.
The thing that I love the most about these pads is that you can see results instantly. Remaining make up can be seen on the pad, my skin feels softer, moist and it looks more radiant after usage. I love to try innovative products and it was fun using these. I saw that they will release individually packed pads as well which you can easily take with you when you travel, which would be an amazing idea!
WOULD YOU TRY THESE?
note: this product was sent to me for review purposes, this didn't affect my opinion about the product. I didn't receive money to write about it, see disclaimer.
These pads seem really nice to use, too bad Neogen use horse oil (yuck!) in their products otherwise I would have tried them. :/
ReplyDeleteYou should maybe try the wine version- I have tried the wine version, and I don't think I smell any alcohol in it (I have a sensitive nose too). It smells like grape! Been meaning to try these green tea ones...I hope the alcohol smell isn't too strong...
