Brighten Your Skin Naturally: Yes to Grapefruit Pore Perfecting Brightening Peel

Last Updated on May 6, 2016 by Cassie Lyons

Yes to Grapefruit Pore Perfecting Brightening Peel is a vitamin C rich peel meant to use 2-3 times a week on clean skin for ten minutes each application and then rinse with warm water and pat dry. This peel is a yellow/golden tint and has a quite fluid consistency, so be quick when applying! It comes in a 2 ounce pink jar varying in price from thirteen to sixteen dollars, depending on the retailor; however, it is quite easy to find in stores (target, ulta) or online (drugstore).

The Positives
This product does exactly what is says! But why does it brighten your skin and smooth out your pores? Because grapefruit has vitamin A, B, and C, plus antioxidants and naturally produces salicylic acid- all ingredients usually artificially incorporated into most skin products meant to improve skin texture. Vitamins and antioxidants help increase skin cell reproduction and reduce inflammation, while salicylic acid is great for acne and skin pigmentation due to its exfoliating nature and sebum controlling effects. A nice positive of this product is the fact that these ingredients are derived from the grapefruit making them more gentle on the skin due to lack of artificial fillers in manmade ingredients that rely on quantity over quality.

The Negatives
The price of this product is just a tad bit pricey for the size, but compared to many other products like Eminence’s Pink Grapefruit Clarifying Mask ($52) or even Fleur’s Purifying Regulating Mask ($31), this peel is much more appropriately priced. An actual negative to this product however is that you do not leave this peel on longer than ten minutes! It is in the directions but just make sure not to forget about this peel or it will become itchy and sting due to the salicylic acid.

So What’s The Scoop?
Yes to Grapefruit Pore Perfecting Brightening Peel is a great pick me up to use 2-3 times a week to brightening your skin tone and smooth your skin texture. I love the smell and the fact that this peel derives its ingredients from nature. The price can seem a bit high to look at, but in the grand scheme of things it is reasonably priced for what it provides- when it comes to skincare, go for quality over quantity and consider purchasing this product.
