Review (2/5): good things never last
My wife LOVES her Micro Peeling Sensation cloths. The unfortunate fact of this world is, good things never last. Haha. This applies to the Micro Peeling cloths. She bought her first back in the mid-2000's. She loved it so much, she posted a glowing review on this beauty board she frequented, and literally caused the online retailer she mentioned to run out of stock! True story. True story also, for some reason, the German manufacturer decided to discontinue the product. My wife managed to track down what stock she could on ebay and stocked up. This stuff is AMAZING - need to slough off dead skin? Done! In the shower, of course. Not recommended using dry - doesn't really do squat if you try to use it dry. And it's so effective, the directions that came with the original cloth said to not rub for more than 20 seconds in one spot. You will literally slough off too much if you do so and give yourself a BAD "burn". Ouch! Yup, wife's done that also. Anyway, fast forward to 2016. She accidentally came upon these cloths on Amazon and was happy beyond words. So happy, she went and bought 2 sets of 4 cloths.
Well, imagine her disappointment when she opened the cloth and noticed right away that it was NOT the same as the original. True, it said "Micro Peeling Sensation Cloth". But, the feel of the cloth (dry) was not as plush as the original. The weave just wasn't as tight, and when she ran her fingers over the cloth, the fibers didn't cause any "drag". See, the fibers of the original was so tightly woven that when you run your finger through it, the fibers out kind of snag on your skin. A bit hard to explain. That was the first indicator they were not the same cloths. Next, she tried using it and compared it to the original - the new cloth sloughing one leg and the original on the other leg. BIG difference. The new cloth barely even sloughed off any dead skin. To say my wife was bummed is to put it mildly. She sadly returned both sets to Amazon.
So ... if you're looking to get these thinking they're the original Micro Peeling Sensation cloths, think twice. They're not. They feel basically like a regular microfiber cloth, only you're paying way more for it.
