REVIEW: Missha (not cruelty free) Super Aqua Detoxifying Peeling Gel

This is my very first peeling gel...

Usage: (directly from site) 1.Wash face & dry with towel 2. Spread appropriate amount onto face (avoiding lips & eyes) & massage gently until dead skin & impurities fall off and wash off with lukewarm water.

This is where I had my only problem... So let me emphasize MASSAGE GENTLY...As you rub, dead skin really does immediately come off and I apparently rubbed my left cheekbone a little too enthusiastically... I didn't notice until I had finished (and washed off with lukewarm water), but I was left with a red bumpy rash on my cheekbone of all places. Three days later it still stings. @_@

I received the 20 ml sample in the Missha Deluxe Sampler



Review: Missha Super Aqua Detoxifying Peeling Gel

Packaging: It's a cute little tube (sample) and I really like the colors... +3 starsScent: Clean scent +3 stars
(Color: Milky white )
Texture: Silky with tiny grains +4 starsEase of Use: Just rub into face and wash off -no drying time +5 stars
Results: Soft smooth skin with a painful rash on my cheek... +4 -1


In conclusion, I like the scent, it was easy to use, and it made my dead skin (eww) peel right off. Afterwards I had noticeably smoother skin. The rash was a little traumatizing especially since this is supposed to be specifically for sensitive skin, but all in all it was my first peel attempt. I am reserving giving it a rating just yet until I have tried other peels, but I would definately like to try more products in the Aqua line by Missha. FYI, the full-size product is 100 ml and retails for $20. It comes in different packaging; ie not a squeeze tube.
