Éminence Organic Skin Care VitaSkin™ Exfoliating Peels: Firm, Bright, Clear & Calm

You say ‘peel,’ I say ‘yes, please.’ And that’s exactly what I said when the new VitaSkin™ Exfoliating Peels from Éminence Organic Skin Care launched earlier this month. Since nothing retexturizes and resurfaces to reveal that glow like a professional spa grade product, this newness straight outta Hungary sounded like the ideal addition to my routine. Perfect during seasonal transitions, peels speed up the skin’s cellular turnover and keep the complexion radiant and even toned. Aiming to Calm, Brighten, Firm, or Clear, this latest range is all about choices.

Packaged in a jar with a press down lid, these formulas are safe to use at home and combine the technique of a peel pad with the concept of an acid toner. Twice a week or every other day, use the cotton rounds that are included and saturate them in your favorite Peel. Swipe them in circular motions across your face and do not rinse. Proceed with a serum and moisturizer but if you opt to use them in the morning, follow up with an SPF of at least 30. With barely a tingle, these crisp scented natural and organic solutions are actually pretty genius. Currently rotating Firm and Bright, I look forward to exploring Calm and Soothe this winter.

Geared towards normal, dry, or aging skin, the Firm Skin Acai Exfoliating Peel is a blend of Lactic and Glycolic Acids that prevents the breakdown of collagen while it promotes cellular regeneration. Infused with a powerful antioxidant medley of Acai Berry, Grapefruit, Noni, Passion Fruit, and Lemon Extracts, it also protects against environmental damage and fights premature aging. That’s a pretty firm offer.

If you are looking to address sun damage, hyperpigmentation, or post acne scars, try the Bright Skin Licorice Root Exfoliating Peel. With the resurfacing benefits of Lactic and Mandelic Acids (my two faves, btw), and an all-natural Hydroquinone alternative from an African Potato and Tara Tree, this multi-tasker evens out your skin tone as it gently removes dead cells from your skin’s surface. Shine bright like a diamond!

Those with oily, acne prone and generally problematic complexions will adore the Clear Skin Willow Bark Exfoliating Peel. Gentle and effective, it combines Azelaic, Lactic, and Salicylic Acids with Biosulphur to deep clean and penetrate within the pore, which controls excessive oiliness. Soothing Willow Bark, antioxidant rich Tomato, and anti-aging Lilac Extract heal and prevent breakouts. Of all the formulas, this is probably one that is worth having regardless of skin type as an emergency treatment. Are we clear?

Anyone with moody and temperamental skin that is prone to freaking out, the Calm Skin Chamomile Exfoliating Peel is your best bet to peel like a pro at home. Lactic and Mandelic Acids deliver unparalleled smoothness while Chamomile, Arnica and Calendula Extracts soothe, nourish, and purify. Mild and balanced, it exfoliates without irritation, which makes it the absolutely safest pick of the four. Calm yourself down.
