Note: This is quite a long review, but I assure you that what's stated here is nothing but the whole truth.
My reason for buying these products are because of my stretch marks. They can be seen behind my legs and on my butt.
I bought the Green Peeling Oil last December 2013 in an online shop in Instagram named flawlesspapaya. It comes with a set that includes 1 stretch mark cream, 1 hydrocortisone cream, 1 15ml green peeling oil and 1 bleaching soap. I also bought sutla face and body bleaching cream and 4 flawless papaya soap. All in all it costs me around 850php.
This is the green peeling oil. I threw the others away because I already emptied them. I've no idea back then that I would make a review. I wouldn't throw it away if I'd known.
Sutla Face and Body Bleaching Cream and Flawless Papaya Soap
Here's the instruction that comes with the set.
I did all of that was written in the instructions. Applying the green peeling oil was easy. I applied it on my stretch marks behind my legs. Irritation starts when the skin started to peel off. It feels very itchy. It says in the instructions that when itchiness or redness occur apply the hydrocortisone cream. I did it, but it still feels very itchy. I tried to rub it, not scratch, just to soothe the itchiness. As soon as the process of peeling nears to it's end, I noticed that my skin developed dark spots. This might have been my fault because I foresee the instruction of do not rub. What I couldn't accept is my skin was burnt.
Remember that I also bought a bleaching cream and papaya soap from the shop? I asked the seller if it's ok to use them simultaneously. She said it's fine. So while my skin was peeling I used the cream and soap. The cream was fine, but the soap, burned my skin. I've no idea that you shouldn't use harsh soaps while peeling because it will burn your skin. Damn you seller!
The cream and the soap didn't even live up to its expectations. I didn't notice any whitening of my skin. It's like I didn't even use the product at all. Well, except for burning my skin.
So after using the product I was left with dark spots and darkened skin due to using the soap. My stretch marks are still there too, like nothing happened.
Three months after, I used the green peeling oil again. My skin was still discolored and I don't know what to do. I thought that if I peel it off again, my skin will go back to its normal color. This time the process had gone smoothly. I used the hydrocortisone cream on the 2nd day after applying the green peeling oil. I should have done this the first time so as to avoid what happened, but I was mislead by the instructions.
As a result, my burnt skin lightened from dark brown to light brown, but still a little bit discolored. I still have stretch marks too.
I bought the Yellow Peeling Oil just recently (May 2014). Again, in an online shop in Instagram named skin_indulgence. I also bought their stretch marks set. It costs me 1500.
You might be wondering why I bought them since I had a bad experience the last time. When I saw their IG account it was full of great reviews and promises. Also, YPO is different from GPO. I am desperate and stubborn. I want the dark spots gone. I want my stretch marks gone. I want my skin to go back to normal.
I am very stupid to think that since it's my third time of using this kind of product there will be no problem. Boy, how wrong I am.
These are two different sets. The first set includes the bigger yellow peeling oil and 1 hydrocort cream. Then the stretch marks set includes 1 whitening soap, 1 small peeling oil, 1 hydrocort cream, 1 bleaching solution and 1 retinoic acid cream 1%.
Instructions.
I used the bigger yellow peeling oil from my butt down to my feet. I also included my groins.
The process is almost the same. I was just waiting for my skin to peel off when I remember that I forgot to apply the hydrocort cream on the 2nd day. Curse the instructions for not stating it there. Curse me too for not knowing better.
I feel very irritated when my skin started to peel. I can't even sleep at night. My butt was very itchy, my groin feels like on flame and I could really feel how raw my skin was. I did my best not to scratch or rub it, and I succeeded. I didn't even use harsh soaps. I don't know why, but the red spots suddenly just appear. On my butt, thighs and behind my legs. Behind my legs are the worst part. They do not itch so I thought they'll just fade away.
When everything's peeled off the red spots did not vanish. Instead they turned into dark spots. Now I have a lot of dark spots more than before. I stopped using the product right there and then. I don't want to risk it anymore. I think I'm allergic to the product. Too much chemical.
Instead of getting rid of my stretch marks and dark spots my skin got a lot worse. I still have dark spots, more than what I asked for, and I still have my stretch marks. In short, it didn't work.
I would definitely not going to buy any peeling product anymore. I had enough that will last me for a lifetime.
