Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Facial Peel
Looking (and consequently, feeling) young and fresh seems to be the hype of this decade. Most people would certainly kill for the killer looks and skin most of the celebrities we see on television have; but then again, most people don’t have the money or the resources in their call to get that most-coveted look and skin.
One soldier if the arsenal of facial treatments available to those who can afford it is the Diamond Peel- a process wherein special chemicals are applied on the skin to peel off dead skin cells and reveal a glowing, fresh, and smoother layer of skin for everyone to see. This indeed is a gem to have on your skin, but it’s not without a catch- Diamond Peels are usually expensive for the commoner, hence limiting the treatment to those who can afford it.
Neutrogena promises a solution to the dilemma of skin care- the Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Facial Peel. Aside from being affordable and home-usable, the peeling solution guarantees to be easy on the skin with its dermatologist-tested ingredients. Is the new Neutrogena product worth your buck? Read on to find out.
Solution Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Mucor Miehel Extract, Polyethylene, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Pentylene Glycol, Methyl Gluceth-20, Glycereth-26, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Xanthan Gum, Polysorbate 20, Butylene Glycol, Cellulose Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Calcium Chloride, Fragrance.
Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Facial Peel contains Neutrogena’s revolutionary CelluZyme technology, which interacts with skin to instantly reveal fresher, more radiant and youthful skin. In fact, dermatologists have found glycol-containing peels (which this peel actually has) to be effective in clearing skin impurities to reveal healthier- and younger- looking skin.
Neutrogena’s breakthrough, rapid Retexturizer has already been proven safe and effective for home use and contains certain enzyme compounds that work with the skin’s natural pH levels to gently exfoliate on contact, leaving the skin surface smoother and healthier than before. Furthermore, the peels works to improve skin texture, as well as to balance skin tone and clarify the complexion, as any other diamond peel procedure would do.
The solution bodes well with dry and sensitive skin types. All you will need is to apply a thin layer over the face and lie back as the peel does its job.
The peel is recommended for use in combination with other products to further ensure its effectiveness- the Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Facial Scrub works well with the Facial Peel to clean out excess particles out of peeled areas.
Users of the product usually rave about how the solution effectively starts up the peeling process, and how very little irritation ensues from its usage. The facial peel tightens and tones the skin and can sometimes be compared to the facial peels used in aesthetic procedures.
Where to get it
Amazon.com lists the Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Facial Peel at $32 for a 17 oz jar. You can also buy the product where facial care products are sold. more info
Nothing different

I have been using this for about 3 months now, but I don’t really see any differences.
Better than a spa facial
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love to go to the spa for a facial. I don’t do it often enough, but I swear that this product works better than those visits. I can see visible changes in my skin. It looks smoother. My pores look smaller, so I love this stuff. I have oily skin.
Goodbye Wrinkles!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have used this for two weeks now and am totally impressed with the change in my ‘forty year old face’.
Using it twice a week has left my skin more pliant, with less wrinkles, and healthier. In fact, I’d say with seriousness that my skin looks ten years younger, no joke.
I hope it works as well for all of you.
Follow the instructions!
Nothing “advanced” about it . . .
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I see many great reviews for this product, which leaves me scratching my head and feeling a tad guilty for what I am about to write here but . . . as far as resurfacing and exfoliation goes, there are much better options out there. Matter of fact, the same results would be achieved by using an inexpensive exfoliating scrub. This product doesn’t even come close to other peels, esp. those containing beneficial and safe amounts of acids within this same price range. Not sure what “CelluZyme technology” consists of formulation wise but it isn’t making me do cartwheels in excitement for this product or its claims, that’s for sure. This is more like a really expensive facial toner I’d say.
The price is not justified at all considering what it does-or rather does not- accomplish.
Best exfoliant I have tried!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This product does what it claims to do, it exfoliates dead skin and leaves it soft and dewy. Other reviews stated that it did not work on scaring…and that would be correct because this product makes no claims to do so. I recommend this to anyone who wants to gently resurface the dead cells from your skin. I’m purchasing my third jar.
Great product!

I started using this product three months ago and wow what a difference! I suffered from teenage acne which never really went away and when I hit my thirties it came back with a vengeance. I’m 36 now and have developed VERY sensitive skin. Never a makeup person since it makes me break out. I even tried prescription acne medication, which never worked. Finally took a six month treatment of pills and it cleared my skin up but it was never the same. I don’t sun worship not since a case of sun poisoning when I was 24. I also have a fair complexion which reddens within five minutes of being outside. I wear a hat while gardening due to the sensitive nature of my skin. Freckles everywhere, even my arms.
I’ve been plagued with dry, sensitive skin and trust me over moisturizing doesn’t work! I began to use Aveeno and Biore products and got my skin under control but I was still having breakouts. I’ve tried Neutrogena in the past but wasn’t satisfied with the cleansers and stuff.. after reading other reviews of this product and Neutrogena Advanced Solutions I decided to try both of them and what a result!
The facial peel I use once a week or so, because of the cost I was stretching it by using the advanced solutions. The first thing I noticed was that the dry skin I was having trouble with, which led to combination skin and dry patches on my face improved within a couple of weeks.
I developed this odd condition of breaking out along my jaw line and had scars and even acne that just wouldn’t go away.. they’re finally gone! Also the breakouts I was having have nearly stopped! I still do get breakouts, especially right before my period but as soon as it happens I use Biore facial strips to clean out my pores and dab on some Aveeno facial mask, which is also marvelous, and I can control the breakouts.
Some might think I use too many products but in reality I rotate them. Like when I get a zit I dab on some Aveeno facial mask (not on my entire face, just the breakout area) right before the shower and rinse it off at the end. The gentle mask of soy is cleansing and doesn’t clog my pores. I can’t afford facials and facial peels so these are a good alternative.
The Neutrogena facial peel MUST be followed up with a good moisturizing lotion. I personally use Aveeno clear complexion face lotion, this is light and doesn’t clog my pores like some of the others. Also its a good idea to scrub away the flaking skin (usually by the next day) I use Aveeno facial two side scrubs (in round jar). The face soap doesn’t dry my skin out and the scrubbing side is perfect for sloughing off the dried skin.
Also try Neutrogena Advanced Solutions – this is more textured then the facial scrub. White sandy thicker solution that you dab onto your face and use the hand held “scrubber” that comes with the kit. Its not really a scrubber as it doesn’t rotate, it vibrates. Anyway I use this every other day or so, again sparingly. I don’t glop the stuff on my face just a few dots, forehead, cheeks, chin and jaw and anyplace where I might have blackheads and then follow up with the face cream. Also this doesn’t `foam’ up like it looks on the commercial, it’s more of an exfoliating scrub then a cleanser.
The Facial Peel is thinner and sort of a tan gray color, looks sort of gross and when applying I apply it sparingly in a THIN layer. You really don’t need to put it on heavily. Your face will tingle, which is normal, massage off with fingertips or sometimes I use my handheld face sponge. One of those free gifts with an order of something or other. You can also use the sponge from the advanced solutions in circular motions. Your face will pink up within thirty minutes after using this so don’t panic. This is normal because it increases circulation to your skin which brings the blood to your cheeks. Remember to use facial cream while your face is still moist. Sometimes I forget and then my face feels all dry.
I usually use these scrubs after I’ve taken a shower and my face is moist and pores open. Also use a hairband or a hair towel to keep hair back, its really annoying trying to wash the face scrub out of your hair. Follow up with a toner and lotion and you should notice a difference within a couple of weeks. Other reviews of this product point out that you have to continue to use these products and its true! But having suffered from acne all my life and been frustrated with the lack of good over the counter products the price is worth purchasing these and using them. There are ways of stretching the products out like I said above.
Also great products are.. and no I don’t work for Aveeno, they just have really great products that don’t cost a fortune!
Aveeno
Clear Complexion Cleansing Mask
Clear Complexion Daily Cleansing Pads (this is the one with the scrubbing side and smooth side)
Clear Complexion Daily Moisturizer
Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser – Absolutely great for daily use or even more then once daily. In hot weather I use it more often when I feel like a cool rinse.
Correcting Treatment, Clear Complexion
If you’re looking for a good moisturizer for your body, try Aveeno Creamy Moisturizing Oil or the Moisturizing Shower & Bath Oil. I also use Jergen’s ultra healing which you can use on your face also.
Biore
Blemish Ice Cleanser
Daily Deep Cleaning Pore Cleansing Cloths – these are sometimes better then using toner on a cotton ball since it’s a full cloth. My husbands actually likes to use these also. He also likes the Pore unclogging scrub for when he takes a shower and the Triple Action Astringent.
Good luck with your skin!
great product

I love this product. I used to get professional chemical peels and now I don’t bother because this is so relatively cheap, easy, and effective. It give me the same results without the pain or redness that I used to have with the professional ones. I highly recommend it!
Fades Scarring
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have light acne scarring that usually takes quite some time to fade, especially on my cheeks. So far, I’ve noticed that these scars are clearing up a little faster, due to the peel removing the topmost layer of dead cells, allowing the skin underneath to breathe and heal. I’ve also noticed a smaller breakout area the week before menstruation, which is something of a blessing.
My only disappointment is that due to the price, customers can’t get a small trial size and try it on a patch of skin before using it. Even at-home glycolic peels should be tested on a small, easily covered part of the skin before using it on your entire face. Some people have a terrible reaction. Use with caution before doing a full treatment.
There is some notable flushing of the skin, somewhat like the increased skin bloodflow that comes with taking the wrong kind of Niacin tablet. You should have a tingling sensation, NOT a burning sensation. If it is in any way painful, remove it immediately.
It’s definitely not a good idea to use this with any facial cleanser that contains menthol (check your labels – menthol is a BAD ingredient for facial cleansers anyway), as it will not let your skin cool after using that, and will burn.
The best and safest facial peel.

I use Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Fadial Peel twice per week and have been using it for three years. It removes all makeup residue and super cleans my skin. After each treatment, my skin feels smooth and new! It’s amazing how much (dead skin cells, clogged pores and the effects of modern life) this product removes in just ten minutes, and without any adverse reactions – even though I have sensitive skin. This is a wonderful product!
Do not buy this!

I had some acne scarring and bought this product hoping it would help. Not only did it do nothing for my scars it also made my pores look huge. Buying this facial peel was a HUGE MISTAKE! Don’t waste your money on this facial peel.
Works well for my wife

Purchased this for my wife and this works well with her skin. She purchases this periodically and is quite happy with the results.

My skin feels so much better after using this. It helps get rid of the dead superficial stuff and leaves my face looking cleaner.
It’s OK!!!!!!!!
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I’ve been using Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Facial Peel for about 3 months and I haven’t noticed any dramatic results. I will admit that it did leave my skin soft and has not caused any sensitivity or breakouts. For me personally though, I need a facial peel that is much more stronger exfoliant than this.
BURNS YOUR FACE
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I will never purchase another Neutrogena product, again. There products are dangerous!!! It burned my face. My face is all red, swollen, red, irritated, and itchy. My new best friend is Cortizone 10, the anti itch cream. It’s been a week since I stopped using Netrogena, and I still look horrifying!!!! Perfect for Halloween, right? But, Halloween is over, and I still look scary. This product has aged me!!! It has caused a ton of wrinkles from where the skin is puffy and swollen. NEVER, AGAIN, NEUTROGENA!!!!
Worked very well!

I found Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Facial Peel to work exactly like the instructions said it would. After using it now for 3 months, my face really feels and looks younger. It is really nice to have smoother and younger looking skin without the high cost of other brands.
