ExfoliKate ????

RinaRina — Wed, 30 Dec 2015 16:34:24 GMT

A while ago, when I was reading Exfolikate reviews, one reviewer said she found a similar product that was much less expensive.

Does anyone know of any similar products that are less expensive?

Thanks.

A while back someone posted SSC Glycolic Gommage was like Exfolikate. I bought some & tried it. It's similar but does not have the enzymes in it like Exfolikate. It uses glycolic, lactic, phytic and malic acids. Apply it like a mask let dry add water & use like a scrub before rinsing. If you want to try an enzyme mask Alba makes one with good reviews. Alba Botanica, Facial Mask, Papaya Enzyme, 3 oz $11.19 at iHerb.

I have several exfoliants in my weekly rotation and Exfolikate is one. A new one that I have tried, and really like, is the Wild Berry Exfoliating Peel by Michael Todd. At a $26 price point for 3.4 ounces, it may be worth a try.

After having received a tubes of Exfolikate and Algenist Triple Action Micropolish and peel in the QVC beauty test tubes they used to offer, I have found a pretty close dupe. It's by Eclos (Freeman brand) and it's the Instant Radiance Facial Scrub. It's not quite the same as either of those two mentioned, but for $9-12 (i bought mine at Ulta) for 5 oz--it's awesome! Seriously, I'm so impressed. I have used it every other day since Friday, and my skin is radiant, clear, and so smooth. It does leave your skin a little pink and tingly, like the others, so I know there is some "peel" action happening. Major thumbs up.

@RinaRina, you might want to to try Skinn Cosmetic's DermAppeal. It has papain in it as well as other fruit acids, and is very reasonably priced.

A caveat: It is very minty, so if you're sensitive to mint or just don't like it, it may not be for you.

I do find it very effective.

Very very heavy on the peppermint, sometimes I feel as though it is in my lungs and I cant breathe.

@ Sharlee, I like Skinn's Dermapeel, but just wanted to try something different. While watching the Exfolikate show yesterday, I thought the tubes were awfully small considering the price.

Not really cheaper, but I gave up exfolikate in favor of Tatcha.

I used to buy exfolikate on the bay.

Waayy too much mint, IMO. Be careful on papain, too. Some recent studies have found flaws with it. Can't remember the details right now but I'm sure you can research if you're interested.

Ole Henriksen makes a blueberry mask that exfoliates using enzymes only-no scrubbies. Works pretty well.

Thanks for this thread and the suggestions. This will book mark it for me for future reference.

No, I haven't. I still have a lot of Fango Active Mud to get through. Plus I have some Skinn Pore Vacuum Mask and Skinn BioCell Mask, not to mention my Korean sheet masks...LOL I'll keep it in mind though. Thanks for the recommendation.

OOOH, liking the sound of that! I'll have to try it.

Another product I enjoy is Amore Pacific's Treatment Enzyme Peel. No scrubbies there either, and very effective.

Ole Henriksen makes outstanding skin care products. His peel is amazing! I wish he had sales more often.

Serious Skin Care has an olive oil facial peel. I misunderstood the directions once and left it on for 30 minutes while I exercised. I think you're supposed to use it for 5 minutes It burned my skin, leaving it red and peeling. After that all cleared up, though, my skin looked great. There's nothing under the sun like Exfolikate, but I just can't spend that much $$$ on 2 oz. of product now that my sample has been used up. It truly is the best exfoliator on earth.

@Good to know .. @ $26 for 4 oz. that's right up my skincare alley. Thanks!
