I tried both Juice Organics Apple Exfoliating Peel and Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel (full strength). I read somewhere that Juice Organics and Juice Beauty may be owned by the same company but these two products are definitely not the same. Both of these products claimed to be made with certified organic ingredients and most of the product ingredients are the same according to their labels, except in Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel, it contains salicylic acid + lactic acid that Juice Organics Apple Exfoliating Peel do not contain.
Juice Organics Apple Exfoliating Peel:
Pros: subtle scent, doesn’t really sting my skin, effective, cost less (about 1/3 of the price of Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel)
Cons: bad packaging, it comes in a jar (I need to use a spatula to scoop it on my face)
Juice Beauty (the organic solution) Green Apple Peel :
Pros: contains salicylic and lactic acid
Cons: very unpleasant scent, sting a lot more (probably because of the extra acids ingredients), cost more than Juice Organics, bad packaging, also comes in a jar
The verdict: Juice Organics Apple Exfoliating Peel wins!
Overall, I think Juice Organics Apple Exfoliating Peel is a very good product, it doesn’t really sting, my face didn’t even turn red or pink after. It is a more effective product for me, my skin is a lot brighter the next morning. Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel has such an unpleasant scent and stings so much more that I did not leave the peel on for 10 minutes therefore, less effective for me.
Ahhh…I talked with the Juice Beauty folks and they do own both companies. Juice Organics brand offers a handful of skincare products that are still authentically organic but not as concentrated nor do they use all the super duper age defying ingredients that Juice Beauty offers. Having said that, both brands are incredible. Juice Beauty offers over 50 skincare products and their Green Apple Peel is a cult favorite. You’ll read about the celebrities that use it, like Kate Hudson raved about Juice Beauty’s Green Apple Peel in ELLE. Sephora and Whole Foods and Nordstrom carry it.
