Wait, This Really Works: Elizabeth Arden

I had Elizabeth Arden’s Progressive Renewal Treatment in my skincare closet (that might be the gayest thing I’ve ever said?) for at least 6 months before I decided to try it, and for that I will never forgive myself. It’s a 4-week progressive peeling treatment that’s meant to reveal younger looking, smoother, brighter skin. And guess what? It works.

You prep each vial as you’re ready to use it (by “popping” a chamber of orange goo into the vial of clear goo - yes, these are the technical terms) so that the ingredients stay fresh. I used this after my toner and before my serum. I was worried it would be irritating (it was not) and, as with everything I put on my face, I worried it would make break out (it did not).

(Not my hand)

I am now VERY Elizabeth Arden curious, particularly their upmarket Prevage line.. I guess some brands are iconic for a reason.
