Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Peel

 

 

 

Hello. Angry Baby Heather here, and I still have spotty sun spots.

 

Looking back at my old before photos I realize the spots have faded quite a bit after an IPL photofacial treatment, two microderm treatments and various at home treatments (PMD microderm, various serums, and lots of SPF). Makes me happier, but I still want them completely gone. Also, notice how often I change my hair color. Poor hair.

 

BzzAgent offered to send me Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Peel to test and review and of course I said yes. I will try just about anything that will even out my skin tone.

 

Here are my before photos:

 

 

 

Not bad. But not good enough, dammit.

 

So, let's talk about the serum.

 

Smell: Meh. Not good, not bad. I didn't really notice it.

 

Texture: Feels just like some expensive serums I have tried in the past. It is clear and semi gooey feeling, spreads easily and absorbs quickly. You may feel a slight tingling sensation, that's the acid dissolving your face. Just kidding. It is working it's magic, attacking dead skin cells.

 

What happens: I noticed about 20-30 minutes after applying the nightly peel that I could literally scrub off dead skin with my fingers, that's how well it works. At first I was slightly concerned that it was too strong to use every night, but I went for it and everything was fine. Dead skin always comes off, but my skin is never irritated. My skin felt more and more smooth by the day and I noticed it was brighter and healthier looking.

 

Thirty days later it was time for an after photo comparison:

Annnnd the spots are still there. I really wasn't expecting them to disappear easily, so it wasn't disappointing at all. It was only 30 days, and I have only finished about 1/5 of the bottle at this point. Perhaps 5 months later I will see some improvement in my skin tone. I will continue using Garnier Dark Spot Peel for the smooth and bright skin alone, and if it happens to correct the dark spots it will be a happy bonus.

At $15-17 a bottle and spread out over 4-5 months, we're only talking about $3 a month, so why not?
