Clarins: Bright Plus Peel

The Bottom Line

Clarins: Bright Plus HP Brightening Peel is easy to use, and gives very noticeable results, however my big problem is the lack of complete instructions. The bottle only tells you how to apply the product, and you're left guessing how long to leave it on, and how to take it off.

Pros

• Amount of product - 4.2 ounces is enough for many peels
• Easy to use
• Gives fantastic results (if left on for long enough)
• Gives a clear "Sun Burn Alert"

Cons

• Instructions are lacking and need more details

Description

• AHA Peel that can be used in combination with Clarins: Bright Plus HP Intensive Clear Mask, or alone.
• Gently exfoliates dull skin leaving your skin brighter.
• Retail value: $42

Guide Review - Clarins: Bright Plus HP Brightening Peel

I am a huge fan of alpha hydroxy acid (or AHA) exfoliators. They couldn't be easier to use, and you'll likely get more uniformed results compared to a grainy scrub. What I first about Clarins Bright Plus HP Brightening Peel was the large bottle with 4.2 ounces of product. The consistency is a bit thicker than water, but not by much. You can imagine that you don't need much to soak a cotton ball, so the cost-per-application makes it a great value.

I made sure to read the directions so I wouldn't leave it on too long, but when I looked on the back, it only told me how to apply it, and not how long I was supposed to leave it on my face, or how I was supposed to get it off of my face. It did read, "see insert", but how often do you throw away the box and directions only to forget what it said.

Unfortunately, that's exactly what I did, but I found more info on Clarins website. You can use this in combination with the Bright Plus Intensive Clear Mask, or apply every other night to a clean face and remove with a toner before applying your night moisturizer.

You can see that instructions still aren't clear on how long to leave the peel on. Here's what I do, and I've been extremely pleased with the results. I washed my face, and then apply the product to a cotton round and apply to my entire face and neck. I leave it on for about five to seven minutes before soaking another pad with my toner to remove. Then, I moisturize as usual. (After publishing this review, my Clarins contact suggested that we leave it on for about 10 minutes before rinsing off with a toner. Easy enough!)

I really could tell the results after using this; my face was much smoother and softer, and it just looked revived. I used this when I felt my skin was a bit dull and it completely took that feeling away. It's an easy product to fit into your regime.
