MIZON Apple Smoothie Peeling Gel for Smooth Glowing Skin, Deep Cleansing and Gentle Exfoliation with Natural Elasticity (120ml, 4.1 fl oz)

TL;DR: This product actually works! It has a light apple scent, and my skin is noticeably softer and smoother after using it just once. Also, it really is your skin that's balling up and not just the product (I tested it). Overall I'm very pleasantly surprised and would recommend! I purchased from the seller Living Earth, and I received my item in excellent condition 3 days after ordering.I literally just tested this product about 20 minutes ago, and I'm really happy with the results. I washed my face and patted it dry with a towel so that my skin was clean (i.e. oil-free) as well as softened up from washing. Before using the product, my clean face definitely had a "dragging" feel to it from dead skin ready to be sloughed off. (Imagine toweling off after a shower and running your hand/fingers over your softened arm. You might feel a slight "drag" on your skin which basically just means that there's a layer of dead skin there that can be exfoliated. If you were to rub your hand/fingers a little harder over your skin, it would probably start balling up and exfoliating because it's softened up. That's the feeling I'm talking about.) Anyway, after using the product and rinsing it off, there was absolutely no more "dragging" feeling on my face no matter how much I rubbed. That layer of dead skin was definitely gone.The product's texture is very much like a liquidy lotion, only slightly thicker, and it has a faint apple smell. The amount that I used for my entire face was probably about the size of a dime. It goes on completely smooth, but I did notice a very slight exfoliating texture (like *extremely* fine sand) mixed in there when I first applied it. I basically spread the product in a thin layer on my face and used my fingers to rub in small circles, alternating between my cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. After a little while, my skin was starting to ball up where I had been rubbing. It didn't really ball up as much as I was expecting based on other reviews, but it was still a good amount. After rinsing it off and patting my face dry with a towel, my skin was noticeably softer and smoother.Since it was my first time using this, I wasn't sure if I had done it exactly right. I decided to use it one more time just to get any spots I may have missed initially, and I figured it was a good way to test if it was really my skin that was balling up or just the product. Well, guess what? The second time around, my skin wasn't balling up as much as the first time. There were still some little balls forming, but I'm assuming that was either mostly the product or small bits of leftover dead skin on my face. In any case, regardless of whether or not the product itself is balling up too, I can tell you all with certainty that your skin definitely IS balling up!! This product really works, and it exfoliates the dead skin on your face!After the second exfoliation, my skin was even smoother and softer. There was no "dragging" feeling anywhere on my face, and even now (after putting on toner and moisturizer) my skin still feels amazing. Overall I'm really pleasantly surprised with how this turned out, and I completely recommend anyone reading this to try out this product. I bought it because it was cheap and I was curious, and it did not disappoint. Hope this was helpful to some of you out there! Good luck!

If you already know and love MIZON, don't hesitate to add this gentle yet effective peeling gel to your routine.Since a very good friend of mine told me about MIZON, I have been a little obsessed.I started with the All In One Snail Repair Cream and 2 essence/serums: Peptide 500 and Hyalluronic Acid 100, and Ultra Suboon cream. I was completely blown away with the results I had and have added the: Night Repair Ampoule Serum, Water Volume Ex Cream Hydra Tox, Snail 80 Intensive Repairing Serum, Snail Wrinkle Care Sleeping Pack, Night Repair Melting Rich Cream, Barrier Oil Cream, Snail Recovery Gel Cream, Collegen Power Firming Eye Cream, 5-Venom Wrinkle Tox Cream, Good Night White Sleeping Mask, Honey Black Sugar Scrub, Black Snail All in One Cream, Collagenic Aqua Volume Lip Essence, and Morroccan Blending Hair Treatment Shampoo...oh, and the Moisturizing Facial Sheet Masks, and a liquid foaming facial cleanser. The Foaming cleanser was the only product I was not crazy about, but it's probably great for combination or oily skin.Anyway...I am a huge fan obviously! I'm in my late 50's and have used top of the line products all of my life. Everything from Erno Laszlo in the 70's and 80's to Dr. Hauschka, to Estee Lauder. I prefer natural products, but I'm attracted to quality and results. MIZON is literally my favorite line of products at this time in my life. My skin has improved in appearance and feel tremendously since adding these products, and I'm blown away by the results.Back to the Apple Smoothie Peeling Gel. It arrived today and I just used it after cleansing on dry, barely damp skin. I followed the directions (in english on the box) and after applying massaged gently and rinsed. I don't think my skin has ever felt so soft without feeling like the softness was due to something laying on it. I'll probably continue to use this once a week in the evening before moisturizing.Like all the MIZON products I've bought I'm also delighted with the look, feel and scent (always minimal) of the products, and the packaging and quantity for the investment is also impressive. What a great deal!I attribute the soft smooth quality of my skin now to the gentle exfoliation of the Peeling Gel, which makes it feel like new baby skin. It's a little drying, not moisturizing on me so I followed right away with a mist of rose water and some of my favorite nighttime moisturizers (all from MIZON). I think that this might be the first review I've writhed about these products. Until now, I've enjoyed them so much but have not taken the time top share my experience.So, I guess my secret is out. I hope you enjoy these products as much as I have.

I've tried 4 different brands of peeling gels so I like to think I have a decent grasp on what makes an effective/quality formula by now and I can say that this is one a tie for the top performer. It works wonderfully. I would say this one is extremely similar in consistency, effectiveness, bottle size, and general feel to the "Secret Key Lemon Sparkling Peeling Gel" (also sold on Amazon) for anyone who may have tried that brand and would like a basis of comparison. It's a nice and thick gel, so it doesn't run off your face or get wasted in the shower when water accidentally hits it. Within a few seconds of massaging it into your face the cellulose in the product become textured, which in turn grabs and pulls off your own dead cells in a very gentle yet shockingly effective manner. I find this is way more effective at getting all of the dry skin off than any scrub or facial brush I've ever used and at the same time it's far more gentle. It doesn't leave my skin at all irritated or sensitive and it greatly enhances the absorption of my serums, oils and creams and leaves a smooth complex for makeup application. Although the directions state to apply it to a dry face (and it does work just fine that way) I personally find it even more effective to add just a tad bit of water as you massage it in or if you simply apply it to a slightly damp face. Just make sure you wash your face prior to applying this to ensure your faces natural oils won't interfere with getting all of those dry dead cell sloughed off. I truly can't recommend these peeling gels highly enough.

It keeps the daytime grease off my face but so would makeup. It doesn't whiten or brighten lor tighten like the name brand kind they discontinued 😈
