Ever wish you could scrape off the dull skin you see in the mirror and reveal the pore less skin you once had as a fresh faced youngin? I do. And I am not that old yet, so I am trying really hard to take care of the skin I have now. So when I started to notice that my face looked duller and that my makeup was settling into my pores more than it used to, I got depressed (just a little- because I have bigger fish to fry in the long run, y'know what I am sayin?) ... and then I got to work looking for some ways to remedy the situation without extreme measures such as laser or chemical peels.
When, like an answer to my dull-skin prayers- I was accosted by a very persistent sales women in the mall who works for Orogold. This women was intense, like too intense. And all up in my face #literally, examining my complexion, while I tried to push my stroller around her and flee for safety. After 30 seconds of dodging and saying 'no thanks' on repeat... I finally took the sample from her hand, and high-tailed it out of there!
And while I do not like high-pressure sales of any kind, I could not deny the WOW factor of the product she gave me: Orogold 24K Deep Peeling. After a single use, I was hooked and I knew that I would have to make the walk of shame back to the mall and buy the full size jar. *Side note: this product can be purchased online, but it is my experience that if you do walk in to a store location, you can talk the price down or bundle products together for a discounted price. Again, that type of selling is annoying to say the least, but for a product that is this remarkable, I deal with the hassle.
And while the Orogold peeling product is still my favorite, I did find a similar product with great results as well- just in case you aren't in the mood to haggle at the mall or you need an option with a lower price point. The Peter Thomas Roth Peeling Gel is a great alternative is more widely available. Both will give you a renewed complexion, lessen the appearance of pores and fine lines- and give you a youthful glow. My favorite benefit of using peeling gels, is the way my makeup looks on the skin in the days following a treatment. Like I have a perma-airbrushed photo face. Ahhh
What is a peeling gel?
A peeling gel is a gel type exfoliant that breaks down the first layers of dry dead skin cells on the surface of your face. The magic is that the gel works in seconds (so fast it is freaky) and literally causes the skin to ball up and peel away, just like the pieces of rubber that you see left behind when using an eraser on paper. And it does this without an ounce of pain, sting or tingle. Unheard of! It amazes me every time I use it- still even after 9 months of trial.
The ingredients behind the magic
Orogold products all contain 24K gold. Literal flecks of gold, pepper each product and the company uses historical references to Cleopatra and ancient Chinese queens who all used pure gold in their beauty routines to promote radiant and youthful skin. Beyond the dazzle of the gold- are the ingredients that really do the work in peeling gels. Fruit enzymes (vitamins C&E) found in pineapple and pomegranate, gently dissolve the dead skin cells and allow them to be easily rinsed away with cool water. Then green tea and glycerin leave the skin moisturized with a noticeably smoother & polished surface.
Who should be using a peeling gel?
Anyone who suffers from dull lack-luster skin will see instant benefits with a peeling gel. It is a product that works right before your eyes, so there is no guessing or waiting to know if you'll see results. Also, for those of you who use sunless tanning products (like me), you may notice a build up of pigment in certain spots on your face, usually where you are dryer or have larger pores. After a peel, my pigmentation returns to an even playing field, and all my products and makeup apply more evenly and absorb better. For those who are noticing deeper pores or fine lines, a peeling gel will lessen the appearance by removing surface layers and brightening the skin.
Peeling gels should be used no more than once a week, so it is an investment product that will give you months of benefits. This one is truly a favorite find of mine and I am excited to share it with you after seeing such great results on myself and several friends and family members that I have recommended it to. I hope it finds its' way into your makeup bag as well.
Happy glowing, xoxo

i too am in love with oro gold deep peel. first bought it at the mall for $50. then found it online on amazon for like $30 or so. i take a look now and it's $130!! i am about to have a heart attack!! it's awesome but not $130 awesome! especially because i know that onceit starts sloughing my skin, i wont want to stop!!
ReplyDeleteDon't buy anything from Orogold! I got sucked into a scam and I will be going to return this shit a soon as I get a moment out of my busy schedule. The reason I bought OROGOLD 24K PEEL is because so much *cough *cough 'skin' came off when the sales assistant rubbed it on my wrist.He also made me try some 2 products, cream and a wash. After rubbing the skin wash on my hands sales rep poured water over them and the water was really dirty (even though I just washed my hands in the shopping centre toilet). So he asked me which product out of 3 i liked the most & I said the peel but I wasn't going to buy it for $250 AUD. He then said 'shuuuush don't tell anyone I'll give you one for $99 as it arrived in a box that's a little damaged.The Box is not even damaged it just has a little crease in the corner..so I bought it & was pretty excited about trying it as soon as I get home. My excitement went down after I tried it. A lot of 'skin' came off and in glue residue manner curdled up and got stuck to little hairs that cover human body including face. No water could get it off I had to pick bit by bit off my face. I even rang the shop to complain. No skin should get stuck in hair covering your face unless it has some sort of glue like ingredient in it. The sales rep said it's probably because I used it for the first time and excess skin came off and to try it again in a week. I tried it last night and same shit happened. I even took photos of it 1st time & last night. I also did some net browsing about this particular product and found this: "....Or so it seemed to be, I found out afterwards they use an ingredient called PVA in this specific peel that is almost like glue, and what happens when you put glue on your skin and let it dry? Give it a try and then rub it off, it looks very much like skin!....." same thoughts I had...So I did a little experiment. I wanted to test it on something that resembles human body but is not covered with real skin therefore shouldn't have skin come off when I use product on it the same way I would on my face... As I had nothing to resemble human skin except a rubber toy ;) I thought what the hack lets try it. I even used gloves so that that the product doesn't get in touch with any skin what-so-ever. I put some product on the rubber toy and rubbed it the same way as I would on my face & guess what!???? Same amount of 'skin' came off!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My rubber toy should exfoliate itself more often! Please try this same thing yourself & you will see I'm not lying!!! Use anything rubber..I'm actually gonna go back to the shop & demand a refund. Please next time you go past the Orogold stall take with you at least a rubber glove and do the same thing rub a bit of the cream on any surface and make sure it doesn't touch skin...you'll have the same result! Try before you buy but not the way they want you to try!! Yea it's a miracle exfoliant!! gets rid of all dead skin in an instant without hurting you...yea right!!! it's what they put in it to have this effect & make people think it's their skin. It doesn't even look like skin!!
ReplyDeletenot sure if I mentioned in my essay above that the sales rep told me: "see how much dead skin came off your wrist! Wouldn't you want the same with your face?!!" How dare he even say that. It's misleading advertising. It wasn't my skin!!! it was some probably really bad and toxic ingredient that most definitely shouldn't be used on humans!
ReplyDelete& also this is the first time I wrote a review on anything I bought in my life!!! I don't have time to waste on this type thing...but I feel so strongly about being mislead into putting some toxic thing that uses whatever ingredient to give it an illusion of dead skin coming off!
ReplyDeletejust fyi women is plural, woman is singular
ReplyDeletePeople are such suckers. I've used several lotions (usually the Body Butter) that if you continue to rub into your skin they will ball up just like the Orogold.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like somebody just had the bright idea to convince people that it is their skin coming off to con you out of your hard earned money. Believe me, if it really is what they say, it would cost much more that $50-$100.
It contains a polymer which balls up like glue when rubbed. No dead skin is coming off. If you don't believe me, rub it on a table. The same thing will happen.
