Radical Skincare Age-Defying Exfoliating Pads

Press Sample

I've been using this product for a good month or two so I feel that I can properly give my opinions on it! I'm sure you remember me reviewing Radical Skincare Instant Revitalizing Mask (here) When i had the chance to try out their Age-Defying Exfoliating Pads, you know I had to jump at the chance!

In the jar you get 60 pads, which is enough for 2 months of use, if you use them every night. The product itself retails for $75 and is available on Sephora.com. I know you're probably like "holy heck Autumn!" I know I'm typically a very frugal person, but I feel that skincare is something that you shouldn't skimp on. Use what works for you, regardless of if it's drugstore or high end. Everyone has their preferences.

When this arrived in my mail box I wish you all could have seen my face when I found out/realized it had glycolic acid in it! I READ about the product but I didn't read into the ingredients. Don't ask my why I didn't look into them. Bahah. I'm a huge fan of glycolic acid and have used products that contained it in the past.

This product contains;;
-Alpha Hydroxy Acids: Help prepare the skin for absorption of active ingredients; helps exfoliate the upper layers of dead skin while increasing penetration of other ingredients.
-Willow Bark: Helps clarify pores while reducing oily build-up on skin.
-Witch Hazel: Works as a mild astringent to keep skin surface clean.
-Osilift: Tones and smooths the skin; reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

This product does more than tone your skin! I'm so amazed with the results that I've gotten. My skin has been softer, my pores have been really clean! Especially the ones on my nose where I've got an insane amount of black heads! This product has GREATLY reduced the amount of black heads that I have/get and I am so excited! I've not found a product that has worked on blackheads like this! This isn't even a product specifically for blackheads and it works amazingly! I've definitely noticed good changes in my skin. I don't get as oily and my face doesn't get as gross as it normally goes after one days. I've even had less breakouts!! Whhhaaattt?! No joke!

Now this also helps with fine lines, I'm 23 and I've got some lines around the edges of my eyes from squinting and I've seen a huge difference in them! You can barely see them anymore so I'm pretty dang impressed. I did notice a little burning when I used this the first time, but it wasn't unbearable and it subsided rather quickly. This product is good for people who have sensitive skin as well, so I don't think you'll have any burning sensations like I did. My face typically reacts like that with the first use of a new product.

All in all, for the price, this product is amazing! Myself personally, I feel that this product lived up too all of it's claims so I am a happy camper. This does have a light citrus scent too it and it's rather nice, when you can smell it. I don't find that it's super noticeable. I use one pad a couple of times a week, I don't use it every night because some nights I don't feel the need for it. I just read some reviews where some people do this as well, so it's good to know that I am not alone! This product does NOT contain Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates.

Ingredients: Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycolic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol Denat., Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract, Salicylic Acid, Centella Asiatica Extract, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Allantoin, Echinacea Purpurea Extract, Resveratrol, Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Pca, Propylene Glycol, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Citrus Reticulata (Tangerine) Peel Oil, Sodium Benzoate, Xanthan Gum, Glycerin, Lecithin, Limonene, Linalool.

Radical Skincare Youth Infusion Serum -Review

PR Sample/Actual Sample

Did you notice that it says PR sample/Actual Sample, that's because it was sent too me with the Radical Skincare Instant Revitalizing Mask that I reviewed previously. The only reason I didn't review it then is because I wanted to test it a little while longer.

I don't know why but I am just not that into serums, I'm weird I guess. Actually I had a bad experience with a serum once and it turned me off on all serums. When I saw these foil packets with the Instant Revitalizing Mask, I was a bit skeptical. Foil packets aren't my favorite thing because I tend to open them then forget about them. Let me tell you, after using the Youth Infusion Serum a couple of times, I definitely ate my words! I actually really like this serum and it is the perfect thing to wear after using the mask!

Now, we all know that I hate not using my own pictures but unfortunately I don't have an actual pictures of the packaging because it was a sample packet. This product is very expensive at $170 for 1fl oz. It's definitely an investment product.
Unfortunately my picture of the foil packet disappeared as well, so I'm extra disappointed that I don't have my own picture. Enough griping Autumn!

I've not broken out from using this, I've not gotten extra oily or anything! I'm really surprised because my skin really hate new products. You also get the perfect amount of hydration and the foil packet alone will give you at least 5+ uses because you need about a pea sized amount of smaller. When I say a little goes a long way I really mean it! I usually apply this after I used the mask, so my skin feels a lot smoother and it definitely looks very hydrated, which heck even for us oily skinned girls is awesome!

You can purchase the Youth Infusion Serum HERE
What do you think? Worth the investment?
