I purchased this with their marine algae day cream and rose butter night cream. The total came to about the same price of my usual go to cream and workes even better. this peel is gentle and leaves your face soft. I use it about every 3rd day, and have not had any adverse side effects, just smooth, soft, and even skin. these products seem to last forever, and they give you a wide variety of samples of their other products, which has already helped make my decision on what the next purchases will be. The Manuka tree peeling paste being the top of that list.
