Did “It Work?”

Jan24

1/3/16 – 1/17/16

Well, our 2 weeks is up and it’s time for results…

Remember we trialed the “It Works” exfoliating peel. We used this product two times a week, for two weeks, on Mermaid’s largest nevus area beneath her arm. During this time we stopped all other treatments; including lotions and soaps.

Mermaid’s disease thickens, in time it is almost inevitable that it will become warty to the point that we will not be able to manage it with home care and that’s when surgery comes into play, if she chooses, or if it effects her joints on her hands. Over time you can see below that it begins to thicken. Even with moisturizers, this will happen. My hope with the exfoliating peel was that we could flatten the thicker areas and help prevent some of her “picking” and itching. Hydration is the most important factor in lessening the itch but the thicker it becomes the more painful it becomes.

Here’s where we started….

I am happy to share that yes, the exfoliating peel did just what it was suppose too.

Let’s take a closer look side by side…

To be honest I took NO pictures along the way and paid little attention to the effects aside form making sure Mermaid was not having any kind of negative reaction to the product. I am so pleasantly surprised to see the side by side this morning.

Mermaid’s skin is flatter and currently, is not scaling.

I would have to deem this trial a huge success!

As a loyal customer we paid $36.00 for this product ($60 retail) which seems to be on the higher end of most products we try, with the exception of the WartPEEL ($80) but it lasts. I too, used the product all 4 times Mermaid did on a patch of eczema (wish I took pictures) and we have well over 3/4 of a bottle left. If your weighing out the cost, I expect this product to easily last us 3 months for 2 people.

I will move this trial to our permanent page so you can easily locate it if looking for something to try.

Product Highlights

  • The Exfoliating Peel uses microbeads to quicken the process of skin turn over. By rubbing these microbeads on the skin you’re helping to exfoliate and rid the body of old skin cells, allowing the new skin cells to surface faster than they would naturally.
  • These microbeads are encapsulated with aloe, a super healing nutrient for the skin. The process of exfoliation can sometimes cause irritation, but the presence of aloe helps to avoid that. Aloe is a natural anti-inflammatory. As the microbeads are rubbed around, aloe is released to sooth, calm, and hydrate the skin.
  • There are NO HARSH CHEMICALS! The contents of the Exfoliating Peel are derived from fruit and are botanically based active ingredients.
  • The peel takes it all off revealing healthier skin and a more natural healthier you!

Will “It Work?”

Jan6

When it comes to trialing products, aside from a basic moisturizing product, I tend to shy away from Mermaid’s largest area of nevus. Not only is this part of her nevus in a sensitive location but it is the largest area.

However, I feel confident that this product deserves a fair shot to show its potential.

I’m sure by now you have all seen the recent rave over “it works” products. From body wraps to a daily dose of greens to essential vitamins. I have to admit, I recently jumped on the band wagon and purchased a few products.

One that caught my eye as a possible benefit for both myself and Mermaid was the exfoliating peel. Being someone that suffers from eczema on my face and arms it was a no brainer for myself. I get embarrassing spots, though small, on one of my arms and my cheek that crack, bleed and flake. The true purpose of this product is not intended to aide in eczema, and certainly not any form of nevus, but it does state that it will reveal softer, smoother skin.

The product states that it is intended for the face and neck and we all know our faces are most sensitive. If its gentle enough for that use I see no qualms about testing it on Mermaid’s underarm.

We will trial this product at the 2 times per week per its recommended use for 2 weeks. During this time I will stop all other products to give it a true chance to shine.
