Rewarded Review

This is a VERY effective exfoliant! I was initially unsure what all these "peeling gels" and "peeling masks" were to be honest. I had previously bought another (also Korean brand - that I love and trust) and thought it was more of a "peel off" mask that you leave on, it "sets", then you lift/peel it off. But no, instructions said to "rub into the skin" (like this one I am reviewing) then rinse it off. It went a "ball-ey" like texture when doing so (kind of like "pilling" on clothing, again, like this peeling gel I am reviewing), which felt weird and confused me - I ended up discarding it! When it came to this Mizon peeling gel I read the reviews which explained the strange lumpy texture that occurs when rubbing it into the skin is MEANT to happen. This review even mentioned they were suspicious that it actually exfoliated and the bumpy parts were actually including the accumulation of dead skin cells - they said they did a 2nd application straight after the 1st one and got less of the lumpy bits - therefore, concluded that it wasn't actually just the product alone going that strange texture, it actually did work to lift off the dead skin & "ball it up" into the product. I replicated this once I got my hands on it - and can confirm - there is less "lumps" when doing a 2nd application (not none at all though, so some of it is product). Doing it twice, however, significantly over-exfoliated my skin (tells me it is quite effective, even if it initially seems it's not!), so I don't recommend doing 2 applications in a row! I am a beauty therapist and cosmetic nurse, so like to think I have a valuable opinion on skincare - I would buy this again. I do have preferred exfoliants, but this one is a nice change to add in every now and again and will probably buy again. As mentioned - it's effective. Please note, it's not an actual "peel" in the sense of a proper cosmetic, chemical peel (nor are other similar brands of this "concept" of peeling mask/peeling gel), it's more of a manual exfoliant. Please like my review if helpful :)
