Skip the hunger-inducing juice cleanse and instead deliver nutrients directly to your skin for a glowing complexion. This brightening peel contains enough green superfoods to qualify as a green smoothie for your face. Kale, spinach and chlorella (a blue-green algae that's basically cousins with spirulina), work alongside sugarcane and apple cider to reduce the appearance of dark spots, brighten the skin and deliver a serious hydration boost. Apply just a thin layer 1-2 times a week and let this peel work its magic for 5-8 minutes (or 3-5 minutes for sensitive skin).

We have to admit: the adorable packaging on this product, and its incredibly addicting, spa-like scent, are two of its best perks. But that's not to leave out its organic, ingredients including blue algae extract, which helps to firm and tighten the skin, acting almost as a natural retinoid without any of the harmful irritation or sensitivity, as well as beech tree bud extract, which strengthens and protects the skin's top layer. It's also loaded with vitamin C, which minimizes dark spots and offers ample antioxidant protection.
