Reddit reviews Dr.G Brightening Peeling Gel, 4.2 Ounce

My current favorite exfoliators for my sensitive skin are the Dr. G Brightening Peeling Gel for physical exfoliation and The Ordinary's Lactic Acid 5% for chemical exfoliation. Most AHAs are too much for me. However, I find that The Ordinary's 5% Lactic Acid seems to work almost immediately in that my skin feels super smooth very soon after I put it on. So I just wash it off after 5 min to give my skin a break, but I still seem to reap the benefits.

I am currently 20 weeks pregnant and, though everyone's experience is different, my skin has completely changed throughout the process. I normally had regular hormonal breakouts around my chin/mouth area, especially around my period, around 3 to 4 at a time. I had the worst hormonal breakout of my life right around when our baby was conceived (looking at it in retrospect), which makes sense because there was a surge of hormones in my body.

Now, though, my skin is actually way better than ever. I still get a few breakouts, but it's much drier than normal.

I've stayed away from benzoyl peroxide because my OB recommended against it, but I've found that hydrocolloid bandages have helped when I do have a whitehead.

My pregnant skincare routine:

morning

• Splash face with water
  
  
• Biore Aqua Rich Watery Essence sunscreen
  
  
• Makeup (sometimes full liquid foundation, sometimes just concealer, sometimes nothing)
  
  evening
  
  
• I normally shower in the evening; if so, I just gently rub my face in a circular motion with my fingertips under the shower head
  
  
• If I do not shower, I cleanse with Cetaphil for sensitive skin
  
  
• Makeup removal: Almay oil-free makeup remover pads (mostly for mascara, since the majority of the makeup comes off in the shower or after cleansing)
  
  
• About 2x per week, I use a Vitamin C serum like this
  
  
• About 1x per week (maybe every other week), I use this chemical exfoliator, which really helps to remove dry skin (my cheeks, especially around my nose, have become so dry that they get flaky now)
  
  
• Every night: moisturize entire face with Cetaphil in the tub; depending on dryness, I spot moisturize with coconut oil
  
  
• If I have a breakout/whitehead (and now, they usually only arrive one at a time! Thanks, baby!), I pierce it with a sterilized tweezer (very fine tip) and use these hydrocolloid patches overnight.
  
  Hope that helps! Basically, you can try to plan your skincare for pregnancy but your body may react differently than you expect. Good luck on TTC! :)

I really like [Dr. G Brightening Gel[(https://www.amazon.com/Dr-G-Brightening-Peeling-Gel-Ounce/dp/B007TFW0B6/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1496332271&sr=8-1&keywords=dr.+g+brightening+peeling+gel). They really aren't too different. Just as you rub off all the gummy stuff (is product) some of your stuff SF will come with it. Esepcially if it's ready.

I use CosRX AHAas it's gentle, about once week. It's all I tolerate, which I don't often. I have a love hate with AHA as I get red from it. That is why I like BHA better. Retinol just isn't doable for me. Pixi isn't amazing at al, but even midler than CosRX and has no alcohol and isn't expensive. I haven't tried the Ordinary AHA but what I have tried has annoying textures. I think the Ordinary would be stonger though. AHA only works the surface, not in the pores. Somehow a tiny bit helps BHA work better. Clears the debris blocking the pore exit. .

Is this the chemical peel?

Hi there!

I just wanted to let you know that Automod has removed your post because it contains an Amazon referral link, which we don't allow in the sub.

Could you please edit the URL so that everything from (and including) "tag=" is removed? That way, the product page will still be visible - but no one can make a profit from the link.

Alternatively, copy this link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007TFW0B6

If you've done that, please reply to this message so I can approve your comment. Thank you!

I usually order from Amazon! Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Dr-G-Brightening-Peeling-Gel-Ounce/dp/B007TFW0B6

Sorry for the delay, I haven't been on.

I did not purchase mine online, but did find it on Amazon:

Sorry for long link, I'm on mobile!

I really like this one: https://www.amazon.ca/Dr-G-Gowoonsesang-Brightening-Peeling-120ml/dp/B007TFW0B6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1511223607&sr=8-1&keywords=dr.+g+brightening+peeling+gel&dpID=31y043MaCsL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

It is probably the only skin care product I've used that actually makes a difference in how my skin feels. (Side note: I experimented with Sunday Riley Good Genes by using it every day for a few months just on one side of my face, because I wanted to see if the difference in my skin would be worth the money. It made no difference at all; but maybe that's a good thing, given the cost!)
