It Works For Me!

‘I think Cellex-C new, Speed Peel Facial Gel is brilliant’, says Cathy B Twomey from Bradford. ‘You apply it to dry skin, leave it for about one minute before you rub and rinse. After two minutes my face feels fresh, supple and glowing. Fab!’

Jocelyn says ‘This is an enzyme exfoliator. Most contain a papaya extract called papain that dissolves loose skin, but this one contains ficin, from figs, instead. It's said to be 20 times more powerful, so it's more thorough but not aggressive. Because it contains so many other skin-friendly ingredients, like chlorophyl  to heal, hyaluronic acid to moisturise and jojoba oil to soften, the effect is surprisingly gentle.’ The gel costs £30.
