miracle in a bottle!
-06.20.13
Greatly reduces my acne and evens skin tone when used consistently. If you've exfoliated right before using it you may experience a stinging sensation and redness, but it goes away really quickly. A must have for those with troublesome skin, but most likely not for those with sensitive skin.

not working!
-06.02.13
Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing
I have been using this for over 4 weeks now AM & PM but I have not noticed any improvement on my hyper-pigmentation on my cheeks. I use it with my Clarisonic and Philosophy Purity & micro- delivery wash every night. Taking this back and back to my quest for that right product for me.

I love this product for my hyperpigmentation!
-02.25.13
Quick Take: exfoliating
I have dry but combo skin and this helps lighten my hyperpigmentation. It also helps manage breakouts on my chin. Because of my dry skin, I am careful to apply just to areas of concern. It does tingle a bit but my skin has become desensitized to it after regular use. I noticed minimized breakouts immediately and the hyperpigmentation lightened about 35%-50% within 3 months. It does take time but the even skintone is worth it. I also use sunscreen regularly to maintain the results and avoid additional spots. I'm 45 yrs old but people think I'm at least 10 yrs younger.

Miracle Face Saver!
-01.28.13
Quick Take: exfoliating, brightening, fades dark spots, evens skin tone, tightens/diminishes pores, resurfaces skin, reduces lines
The first time I had a facial at the Bliss Spa inside the W Hotel back in San Francisco, my wonderful esthetician recommended this product to me (it was formerly called the "sleeping peel serum"). I had (and still do) sensitive/combination skin, that was prone to the occasional horrible breakout. I had uneven pigmentation and some dark spots from old blemish scars.
Within the first few days of usage I noticed a significant improvement in the condition of my skin. My skin was less dry, it was softer, looked brighter and my pores started to look less prominent.
Six weeks later when I returned to my esthetician for another facial, she commented on how incredibly different my complexion was. My blemishes had completely disappeared (and I didn't have any more breakouts since using the serum), my pores were tighter, my dark spots completely gone, and the areas of my face where the old scars were, was completely even. My complexion for once, was actually bright and glowing!
I admit that during the past few years since I was first introduced to the Peeling Groovy Serum, I did take a couple of breaks to try out other products. Each time I took a break, I had major regret, as my skin started breaking out and returned to looking lackluster and uneven. I've learned my lesson, and never again will I be without this fantastic facial serum. It has not only been a major face saver, but also a huge confidence booster. I don't feel self conscious leaving the house without makeup, because of the wonders this product has done.

-01.21.13
This does seem to be evening out my blotchy, middle-aged skin. I have to make sure it does not end up on my nose because that wlll create a break-out. Otherwise, I like it. I do not use moisturizer over it.

No more scrubbing
-12.31.12
This serum works great and virtually eliminates the need for other exfoliation scrubs. You do need to remember to use it nightly and it does tingle the skin the first few times you use it and if your skin is irritated or sensitive it might be too much. For me, however, it's been a great addition to my nightly routine.

Maybe or Maybe Not
-12.27.12
I purchased this product after it being recommended to me by a facialist. I have discoloration from acne and I have seen a slight difference in the short time I've been using it. The price I think is extreme, I only purchased with a gift card and coupon. I am unsure if I will purchase again.

Great stuff!
-12.17.12
I am hesitant to use the word "miraculous", but I honestly think this stuff is amazing. I started using it every night a couple of weeks ago and it changed my skin immediately. I generally have 2-5 small hormonal whiteheads on my chin most days and this stuff has kept them away (or cleared them up quickly if I have any). I have tried every facial prescription my dermatologist wanted to try and this is doing a better job. I am in my early 40s and my skin is definitely changing - larger pores and uneven color specifically, so I like that this product addresses those issues too. My skin looks better than it has in ages.

One of my all-time favorites
-12.05.12
Quick Take: hydrating, smoothing
This is one of my favorite skin products of all time. It makes my skin fresh and plump, sort of like it looks after I get a sunburn, but without any damage! It looks great, even under makeup. I think it's worth the price.

Quick Take: watery, strong, sticky
I used this product for 6 weeks and did not see a difference in my skin, AT ALL. I am extremely disappointed. The sales lady at bliss tried to sell it to me saying it would fade my acne spots. I'm starting to realize that only laser will help my scarring.

Finally something that actually works for me and something I can actually see a difference in. I was kind of skeptical to use well I am with most products cause I'm prone to breakouts. Lots of products don't do me any justice. This one is good! I wake up with a brighter face. When I woke up I was like wow my skin looks so bright and nice for once. I never say that about any products. I hope this works for a long time!

-11.01.12
Quick Take: exfoliating
I walked to a sephora rep 3 days ago, and asked for a serum to fight my mortifying acne pigmentations. And she recommaneded this serum and a mild peel. I had managed to get rid of most of my acne, with the occaional bump or two. But i always had tiny little bumps on my skin. After using the peel and the serum of 3 days...theyve all but dissappeared. Another thing about this serum is that it is easily absorbed, so you have to work fast! But i can feel it working on my skin unlike the usual creamy serums. Im gonna give it 4 stars, since i only started using it. =)

Quick Take: exfoliating
It exfoliates. It works pretty well. But, for me, I think it was too much. My face felt rather raw after a couple nights of use. I still use this, but I only use it once every other week.

Awesome
-10.14.12
Quick Take: exfoliating, gentle
My skin has never been as smooth. I've previously had tiny bumps on my skin from blocked pores- not red or black, just bumps. This clears those out. It can sting just a bit when used after exfoliating, but not nearly as much as other things I have tried. However, it is otherwise completely gentle. It does not dry out my skin or make it flaky like other things do.

THANK YOU BLISS!!!
-08.03.12
Quick Take: exfoliating
It's been about 2 weeks since I started using this and so far I'm extremely happy with my results. Patience is key when using a product and I didn't have much and almost gave up but of course expecting to see results over night is ludicrous. I can't wait to see my results after furthur use.I did experience some burning but it was only a tiny little patch on my cheek and after moisturizing, it healed up in 2 days and instead of the usual 3-4 pumps it says to apply I just applied 1 for a few days then slowly bumped it back up so as not to furthur burn my skin. Don't let this deter you though, I'm so happy to have bought this. Almost $70 but totally worth it if your acne scars bug the heck outta you. I wish I could give the people at Bliss a big ol hug for this product. Thank you so much Bliss <3

-05.09.12
Quick Take: exfoliating
I was on a cruise when an aesthetician recommended this product. I thought she was just giving me the upsell, but I'm a sucker for those kinds of things and I went for it. Well, I'm SO glad I did because this product is worth it! It took me MONTHS to finish the bottle - just two little pumps is all you need for your whole face. I went astray after I finished the bottle, to a cheaper item claiming to have the same effects. I regretted that decision, and now I'm back to buy more. Put this stuff on before you go to bed, and when you wake up, you'll be a completely new woman!
