Ole Henriksen Lemon Strip Flash Peel

What it is:A one-step exfoliating peel. What it is formulated to do:This one-step exfoliating peel is powered by lactic, glycolic, and fruit acids that work to exfoliate and resurface the skin, while algae extract soothes and calms. The spa grade treatment increases cell turnover, brightens skintone, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, younger looking complexion. What it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens- Sulfates- Synthetic Fragrances- Synthetic Dyes- Petrochemicals- Phthalates- GMOs- Triclosan What else you need to know: Use a sunscreen immediately after completing the lemon strip if you plan on going out in the sun. Wear an SPF on a daily basis to protect the skin from further hyperpigmentation and sun damage.

Excellent peel for any time of day
-05.16.13
I usually use masks or other treatments right before I shower because they are so messy. This one goes on clear, and does a great job. I had just had a cold after flyiing, so between medications and 2 flights in a short period of time, my skin felt like sandpaper. This was the only thing that helped.

finally getting rid of blackheads
-05.06.13
I've tried so many things to get rid of my constant blackheads. This product has finally done it (possibly in combination with some other Ole Henriksen products). I've been using once a week for a couple of months and now my blackheads, and my large pores, are hardly noticeable. Seems that each week I see a reduction. I've been searching for this sort of miracle product for about 15 years.

EFFECTIVE AS A SPA TREATMENT
-05.04.13
Quick Take: really works
This peel is as effective as anything I've used. I've paid big money for peels in my Doctor's office and this works as well and is way, way cheaper!

This is a good product
-04.27.13
Quick Take: effective
This is a good product. It is effective and you can see the difference immediately. It helps dry out acne and even skin texture and tone. I did find it a little drying though, so I wouldn't use more than once a week. Definitely recommend even for sensitive skin,

Good, not great
-04.24.13
I got this to treat my hyperpigmentation, and haven't noticed that much of a difference. I only use it once a week, so that might be why. Stings a bit, but does not make my sensitive, acne-prone skin break out, and my skin does feel smoother after a treatment. Worth a try but probably won't repurchase.

feels good but doesn't work
-04.23.13
Quick Take: okay, overrated, smells nice
I had high hopes for this product based on other reviews. The pluses: it smells good and feels nice on my skin and afterward. The major minus: it doesn't really do anything noticeable to improve the brightness or texture. I returned it after using it twice and am now using Aloette's Restorative Enzyme Peel. It literally peels away the dead skin and leaves me looking bright and rejuvenated.

This is great!
-04.20.13
I was going to give this 4 stars but I just couldn't. It would have been selfish, it kinda stings a little the first few times. LOL I tell you though, this is great stuff. I am 45 and my skin has never felt smoother. I also use Ole's Truth Serum and Vitamin C face cream with SPF. OMGosh

Hello Skin renewal!
-04.18.13
This stuff is awesome. It smells great, works great. I have sensitive skin and it didn't seem to irritate or overly dry out my skin at all. Do not use more than once or twice a week however, because when I did do that I started to notice a little dryness. Also do not apply after any manual exfoliating (my facewash has scrubby bead things) because that will cause it to sting a little.

Light Peel

Quick Take: light peel, quick
Pretty decent little peel. The 3 step peel from Ole works better/deeper, but this is not bad for a quick peel. I use it every other day to keep my skin smooth and exfoliated.

okay, but i'm returning it
-03.30.13
Quick Take: tingly, cool, pretty smell
This product feels great on the skin and can stay on for more than 10 min without any damage. But I'm disappointed with the results. It doesn't really change anything about my skin texture or look. A nice at home mask, but nothing to rave about.

I've been using this for around 3 weeks now and I think its making my skin feel better. Appears to do nothing for my vary congested face but whatever. It smells amazing too!

Amazing
-03.29.13
Quick Take: gentle, brightening
Okay, I have used this peel ONCE and already I have noticed a difference, ONCE I say. I would never write a review for a one timer, but I feel the need to share the glory. My skin is glowing and acne scars are fading. It really helped clear things up from an acne flare that my skin was having. Ole strikes again. Fabulous, doesn't irritate and great price point.

I really like this stuff. It's pretty gentle on my over reactive sensitive skin. My skin feels like butter after I use it.

Perfect!
-03.26.13
This is the only product that has helped shrink my pores as well as help with old acne scars! After a few treatments, my pore size had dramatically reduced and my overall skin appearance was much smoother! Old acne scars are still there, but less red/noticeable. I am in love with this product! I have very oily skin and this did not cause any breakouts for me - nor did it make my skin less oily. The jar is small, but you get many treatments out of one jar, so well worth the cost.

works great!

I have acne-prone skin and this product has done a great job of smoothing out my skin. I don't beleive it has made any difference with dark spots but I've only been using it for 2 weeks.

smooth feeling skin, nothing else
-03.18.13
This product definitely made my makeup go on smoother the next day, but other than that it did nothing for my skin. The smell was refreshing, but I won't be buying it again.
