A well-documented gentle peeling gel with a verified ingredient list and a straightforward smoothing formula. It looks reasonable for occasional surface exfoliation, but it is still a physical exfoliant and may be less compelling for users seeking stronger texture treatment.
Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.
From Arginine, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Allantoin
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Allantoin, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract
Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.
From Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract, Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract, Arginine
Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.
From Arginine
Whether it provides direct protection against UV radiation.
Things to watch
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Ethylhexylglycerin
Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.
Whether it has meaningful potential to be absorbed into the body at levels that may matter biologically. Most cosmetic ingredients score low unless there is known concern or high exposure.
