Brightening Peeling Gel

I’ve been using this product for years. Just clean your face and then apply a decent layer and leave it 4/32 to a minute and watch all of your dead skin crumble off. It’s so satisfying! Gently rub in circles and it will come off. Just make sure you take a slightly warm washcloth to get all the excess off and then be careful after you do it because your skin is so tender and fresh. Make sure you wear sunscreen the next day and hydrate.

The vendor is offering the product at a price exceeding double its original value. If you want to return you are charged again.

Pros - gentle, no irritation - removes layer of dry skin - very quick and easy to use - not crazy expensive Cons - could be a little cheaper.. (I think it's a really good value, I'm just cheap) ---------------- I have fairly sensitive skin that dries out easily when exposed to most cleaning/exfoliating/acne products. It also likes to form a nice flaky layer of dead skin during the winter, which is impenetrable by any moisturizer known to man. I took a chance on this Ebanel face scrub though, and it works great! As you rub it into your skin, it starts to ball up, and you can feel the little balls causing mild abrasion where you're rubbing. It doesn't irritate my skin at all though. My skin just feels way more smooth and even a little more hydrated when all rinsed and dried off, and best of all the layer of dead skin is gone, and the remaining healthy skin readily absorbs the rosehip oil I use as moisturizer. I haven't tried many others exfoliators (due to the whole sensitive/easily dried out thing), so I can't really compare, but I'm glad I decided on this one. It is definitely better than any St. Ives exfoliator I've tried. And while it is more expensive than St. Ives, you don't need to use very much at a time, and it works so well (along with the rosehip oil) that I haven't needed to use it more often than once every couple of weeks. I've used it several times and the bottle still feels full. On sort of a side note here, it seems like a few other reviewers of this product have, for some reason, made the assumption that the little balls that form are all dead skin cells balling up, and then they are doing a little more experimenting and finding out that the little balls forming are not purely skin cells but the product itself, and then acting like they've been duped..? Not.. super sure why that's happening.. but I can say that it would quite worrying if all those little balls were purely skin cells - that would be a lot of skin to lose from a relatively small area and would mean the product was stripping away more than just the flaky outer layers. I don't see any chemical exfoliators in the ingredient list, so the mechanism of action of this product is probably that the friction of rubbing causes the product to ball up, and as you continue rubbing, it lifts and sticks to dead skin cells, kind of like picking up lint with little balls of playdough. It seems to work really well. So yeah, if you want a no-fuss product that gently removes dry flaky skin, this is a very good option.

Does what it says. Leaves my skin super smooth. Great for removing flaking after retinol use.

So, there's someone who said it gets messy and rolls up in balls and looks all white and flaky. You have to make sure your face is wet enough /damp first and then take small amounts and rub in small circular motions. If your face is too dry, it WILL clump up into white balls and look all flakey and messy - which means you've used it wrong! If your face is TOO wet, it won't ball up at all (into the small beads) and you won't feel it exfoliating your skin well. I would def recommend washing it off after WITH some sort of cleanser or at least soap, so it comes off better with less harsh rubbing. If you just splash with water to take it off, it'll take you a while to get it fully off and it may cause too much rubbing. I LOVE the feeling after and how light my skin looks and how it seems brighter afterwards. It helps me feel so clean to know I got all the dry skin and gunk off. It's pretty obvious that all the gunk does come up cuz you can feel your skin after and it'll be more raw/rough as if all the oils and layers of heavy dirt&dead skin or whatever were taken off . I would say this one is a bit "rougher" of a bead compared to the Cure brand (the only other I've used). But it could be because of how damp your face is, the more damp, the gentler the beads were . (By beads I mean when the exfoliant balls up/ forms together to cleanse the skin). I actually liked this about it as it feels like it gets the job done better, but I almost felt like I needed a lotion to put on after because of it. I use to use the Cure exfoliant (sold on Amazon too). It was about $39- ish for a little bit more ounces than what you get here. But still was way more expensive than this one. I've been trying to cut costs and after looking online and on Amazon it seemed like every exfoliant that forms into beads on the skin, was super expensive. Even more than the Cure brand. Then I came to this brand. I was worried because it was the cheapest of them all But I decided to give it a try. I am so so so happy that it compares just as well to the Cure brand. They work the same pretty much except this one is better priced :) I will say that the cure brand had a bit more gentleness to it and also seemed to stretch a bit further (like one small drop was enough for almost my whole face!) This one does clump up faster - meaning you have to use more because it doesn't spread as far. You really have to get the RIGHT amount of dampness on your face to make sure it doesn't clump too little or too much. I found myself using more drops of it than the Cure because I had misjudged how damp my face needed to be. However, overall I still think this brand is more cost effective because I'm really not using THAT much more than the Cure brand and it's so much cheaper. I think I'll end up using about the same amount (one bottle of this brand) in the same amount of time I used a bottle of cure. I will say that the cure had a pump for it to come out (you push on the pump and it comes out). This one came out a bit fast at times so be careful pouring it out ! I was able to twist open the cap and put excess back in though.
