What the gurus are saying

The gel balls up on application but doesn't visibly exfoliate, disappointing for a peel, and the photosensitizing bergamot and pineapple enzyme increase irritation risk. While those new to skincare might find it impressive, experts still say the price is too high for the results, especially given cheaper K-Beauty alternatives that deliver similar performance without the irritation concern.

"For a long time I thought these things were kind of a scam but they're really nice and really gentle. They're not rough like sandy type feeling exfoliators. They just have like a cellulose ingredient in there and it kind of works with the water. It was just a little sample and I finished it up. I don't know, about 0.5 ounces I think I got probably seven or eight uses out of it. So nice and gentle."

"You massage this onto your skin and the product balls up on itself, but it's not like wow, look at all the dead skin coming off. There's a lot of products like this in K-Beauty for a lot lower price points. If you enjoy it, at least get it at 50 off, but for me personally, not gonna buy it."

"If you're someone who doesn't regularly do skin care you may be impressed by how this performs, but if you're routinely washing your face and moisturizing this shouldn't really be necessary, and it increases the risk of irritation, not only from the bergamot fruit water but the pineapple fruit extract can be pretty irritating too depending on how it's formulated. I say pass, it's ordinarily close to 50 dollars, and I would not pay 25 dollars for it on sale."
