Today Makeup4all turns 16.
It is absolutely mad that I have been sharing my love for beauty for such a long time! Not only do I appreciate all my long-time readers but I have also made some great friends along the way.
To mark the occasion, I want to write about one of my all-time favourite products. Alpha H Beauty Sleep Power Peel. I know that the brand is renowned for their Liquid Gold, which I also like, but I prefer the peel.
“Beauty Sleep” is a perfect name, as it is exactly that.
You apply it before bed and wake up with a glowing complexion. I do know that “glowing” is somewhat an overused term in beauty but it is really the case here.
According to Alpha H, the formula contains:
- 10% Glycolic Acid to resurface, even tone & enhance luminosity
- 0.5% Retinol to accelerate skin renewal for firmer, smoother skin
- Papaya Enzyme for a bright, clear complexion
- Jojoba Seed Oil to nourish and support barrier function.
While you can (as expected) experience some tingling, it is nothing discomforting. The product also has a nice citrusy floral scent.
And I can confirm that my skin looks healthier, smoother, and more hydrated afterward. It won’t be the “I look 20+ again” (that’s how old I was when I started writing Makeup4all) kind of effect but more of a “My skin looks decent today”.
As you can tell, after using Power Peel for years, I can’t imagine my beauty routine without it now.
It is not cheap, at £72.99 (now £58.39 at Cult Beauty) for 50 ml (there is also a mini version available), but it lasts for ages and has a salon-treatment-at-home vibe. And that, in my opinion, makes it a good value for money.
