Welcome to my review on Pro-Derm Micro-Peel Masque Formula ($52)
As part of a regular skin care regimen it's important to do a deep cleanse at least once a week. But what do you choose? A chemical peel or a mud mask? I enjoy both - mud masks are so refreshing and are great for calming the skin. But I also love chemical peels - you can't beat the intense exfoliation that chemical peels are so great for. Well worry no more! You can havethe best of both worlds!
The facts about my skin:
Skin-tone: Olive skin tone
Skin-type: Oily acne prone
Problem: Cystic acne on the chin and cheeks, large pores in the t-zone, and the odd wrinkle
The Product: Meet the Pro-Derm Micro-Peel Masque ($52 CDN)!
The mask contains Glycolic Acid and three types of mud and clay. Because this is a medical grade line, you will only find it at your cosmetic dermatologist, or online. The mask comes in a 125ml jar (nothing exciting to look at) and the product smells like a regular mud mask - and well it certainly looks like one!

The Results:
Between my visits to my cosmetic dermatologist for the occasional peel I like to continue my own treatment regime to keep my skin in good shape. I was recommended this mask by my aesthetician who sold me on this being a great option for my skin - that is acne prone.
Application - The mask is recommended to be used once a week, and applied to your face in a thick layer (3mm)- which a flat foundation brush is perfect for! You leave it on for 20-30 minutes. I recommend you don't apply right near your sniffer as you don't want to exfoliate there! This is not a typical mud mask where it gets super crusty with time. You will see some cracking but never that dry feeling. Removing the mask can be a bit messy, since it's quite thick I recommend you use a warm wet face cloth to wipe your skin clean. And that's it! Once you're done, you can apply your moisturizer

Before (top - 1 yr ago) After - (bottom - today, no makeup) I have been using the mask for about 6 months now and I love it. I find it does wonders at keeping your skin clear, smooth, and minimize pores. Because of the mud in the mask, it has a calming effect and does not irritate your skin. In all you can get about 6-8 treatments for the jar, which in call turns out to be less than $10 per treatment - which beats going in for a facial!
Keep in mind this is part of a treatment regimen - not a stand alone miracle worker! You need great products all around to keep your skin in tip-top shape. This is part of my over-all skin care routine. For me, this works well in conjunction with the Skin TX Acne Treatment.
