philosophy | the oxygen peel | in-home oxygen peel for all skin types
I rarely write reviews, but this time I felt I needed to so others don’t make the same mistake I did. This product did nothing for me. I don’t mind spending money on something that works, but this isn’t worth $2 or the time it takes to use it. I left it on 5 times as long as recommended, and still nothing. No sensation what so ever, and no difference in my skin. I tried it 6 times over the past few months! I do have to wonder if some of the reviews were sales people or really suggestable people. Waste of time and money!

i think this product would be great, but wasn’t able to use it becasue the description of it on this website and on phiolosphy’s website does’t give you one tiny bit of information. the very last step, the very last sentence says that you shouldn’t use this product if you are prone to breakouts because this will cause a severe breakout. the reason i bought this was to clear up my face, so it would have been nice to know this before i am about to apply it to my skin.

I bought this quite a few years ago. It makes your skin luminous, but within 6 months, the cream was growing mold. I had to throw out the remaining 4 capsules. So much for my money. I expected Philosophy to give me a refund since it is not like I had the product for years! But, they were unresponsive.

I love this product. You have to use it right though or you will not be satisfied. When I started the lady at the counter advised me to do the ‘Boot Camp’ This is where you use the peel for three days in a row (stated by another reviewer) After I did this it really brightened up my skin and I could really tell a difference.
This peel can be used by all skin types and it a very gentle peel. You have to make sure that you don’t get the solution on your eyebrows though. If it’s left on too long (like over an hour) it will start to dye your eye brows. But if you use for the recommended time (less than 5 min) you shouldn’t have a problem.
This peel is great to detoxify your skin. And if you use it right it really exfoliates. You have to use the ’scrapper’ that comes with the product. Do not simply wash the peel off. You have to scrape it off. When you do this it removes all of the dead skin. After you have scrapped as much as possible wash your face very well. I find that Purity by philosophy works great.
I use this peel about twice a month. I rotate between this and philosophy’s MicroDelivery Peel, using one every week. If you are skeptical about buying this I would go to a Department store and ask the lady at the philosophy counter to do it on you. I first had it done at Nordstrom loved it. That way you can see the proper way to use it and you can see if you like it or not.

This is an amazing product. It is gentle on the skin, and I have very sensitive skin, yet removes the tired, dead, and darkening follicles. I can’t believe how much lighter and younger my skin looks after a peel. It smells nice and doesn’t cause any itching or burning, on my skin at least. This is a must to use before big days like weddings or fabulous dates, or when getting back from a grubby camping trip. One thing, a day after the peel my skin looks a little red/blotchy in places but the day after that it’s stunning so if you are indeed purchasing this for a wedding, etc. use it 2 days before the big day or else you might look like a splotchy bride.
Most of Philosophy’s products are fabulous and if you’re going to go for this, it works well with the Real Purity facial cleanser to use right after the peel, and then the Hope in a Jar moisturizer after that.
