Background

The Original Skin Store offers a professional range of skin care products to make you look good and treat various types of skin disorder. Their wide range of products include chemical peels, serums, moisturizers, cleansers, scrubs, masks, toners and other acne treatments. Our team at Acne in Review was pleased to review the wide range of products that have been available in the market for the last 7 years.

The Original Skin Store follows a few rules such as:

• Does not use latest fads as ingredients for the products and sticks to tested and approved ingredients only
• The ingredients used are a blend of science and nature
• Keeps prices low so that products are affordable for all
• Money back guaranteed if not satisfied with the products

The products contain ingredients like salicylic acid and lactic acid which are known to be effective in treating acne and acne scars.

Ingredients

The chemical peels from The Original Skin Store are made from a combination of Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) and DD water. Trichloroacetic Acid is known to help in reorganizing the dermal structure and increase the dermal volume. It is also known to increase the growth of collagen, glycosaminoglycan, and elastin. DD water is the short form of Deuterium Depleted Water which is used in skincare products to enhance, preserve and restore skin health.

The acne treatment solution contains ethanol, salicylic acid, and lactic acid. Ethanol is known to kill the acne causing bacteria while salicylic acid helps in exfoliating the skin and removing the dead cells. Lactic acid is effective in providing hydration to the skin and helps to cure dry skin acne.

The store also has cleansers and scrubs like Alpha Hydroxy Facial Scrub with Vitamin C and green tea extracts and Microdermabrasion crystals made from fused Aluminum oxide crystals. Tea Tree Skin Firming Toner & Treatment and Glycolic Acid Anti Aging Toner are also available which has been prepared from organic aloe juice and other various botanical extracts.

The moisturizers and serums in the store has a huge variety ranging from Alpha Hydroxy Acid Crème Moisturizer to under eye creams and a Skin Tight Face Firming Serum prepared from extracts of rosa damascena (rose) hydrosol, propylene glycol and others.

Website

We found the website contains a lot of information regarding the products and its ingredients. The colors used are also pleasing to the eye while the neatly segregated tabs help in locating the desired information easily.

A shopping cart is available for shopping the products online while the ‘store policies’ section provides an email address for any queries related to the products. A special ‘Shipping and Payment’ section provides the guest all information related to shipping and payment in detail.

No phone numbers or mailing address was provided in the website for any kind of customer service. We would also like to recommend that high resolution product shots could be put up on the website to make it look more attractive.

The side-effects of any ingredients are also not listed in the website. There were no ‘before and after’ pictures of clients who have already used the products.
