This is the best smelling product I've ever put on my face. I use this before I want to wear makeup for special occasions. Just spread it onto my hands and fingers, rub it into my skin where I need the most help (usually my t zone) and it clears up my sebaceous filaments instantly for smoother makeup application. I haven't tried to use it regularly, and I don't know the percentage of the actives so I'm cautious to. Other than that, I love this product so much. Please don't change the scent. It's mouth watering.

I saw lots of reviews about the smell of this product, and I can only assume those customers received a bad batch. There is a mild smell but not at all intolerable as described. I used this product last night and it works well and smells good to me. The only time I was able to smell it on my face was when I curled my top to touch my nose. I like both products, as I do just about all other Origins products. Thanks for all you do!

I ordered it to try and honestly felt it didn't do anything. I felt nothing, saw nothing and overall was very unimpressed. I hope I can return it for a refund.

Can I use my vitamin C serum with this? I've used this peel a few times a week for a couple of weeks and so far I really like it. My skin feels smoother and my redness seems to be fading a little.

I just purchased this item but I am confused with the application. Do you use it as a toner, wash it off or peel it off?

This refining peel works just as described: it decreases dullness and refines pores. I use it morning and night after cleaning but before serum. I also use the Youthtopia moisturizer and have to say that I love these products!!!!

This had my cheeks so dry and peeling...I have never experienced anything like this. I would not recommend this

I am 54 and enjoy hiking and a natural look for beauty and skincare. I've been applying this product in the evening after cleansing with "Checks and Balances" wash. After that I have been going back and forth between a light retinol cream or a basic simple cream moisturizer, or sometimes the Origins ginger line of creams. Anyway it seems to me that this Youthtopia actually makes a big difference for how my skin looks the next morning. Regardless of which cream I use, the main difference seems to be this. What I see is healthier skin because it looks less tired and more hydrated. Hard to say "plump" but to me that means my deeper 50 year old wrinkles are less visible and my overall look is refreshed. When I apply this, I feel nothing and there is no immediate change. But the next morning, day after day, I can see a benefit. I know they are not the same thing but if I had to choose between my retinol cream and Youthtopia, I would keep my Youthtopia. Now that some time has gone by, I am interested in trying the other products similar to this one.

It is seldom that I take the time to write a review. But I have to say the youth Topia apple peel and the apple cream are probably the best products I have purchased in a long time. I've purchased a lot of origins products but this one. I'm not kidding, gave me noticeably difference in the texture and the clarity and evened out of my complexion. So pleased. I purchased the product when they were running a special on it because it was new. Glad I did.

I would not recommend this product - this is not as bad as the cream (which smells awful) but not what you would expect from Origins. I got sick from the smell everytime I attempted to use it.
