Beauty of Joseon Apricot Blossom Peeling Gel 100ml
Description
Pre-soaked, so there is nothing to measure at midnight.
It lifts because the fibre gathers, not because you pressed harder.
What this peeling gel does
A 100 ml peeling gel, formulated to calm the look of redness.
How it lifts, and why that matters
Exfoliants usually make you choose. Scrubs work by abrasion, so the result depends on how hard your hand presses. Acid peels work by lowering pH, so the result depends on what your skin tolerates.
This one does neither. Cellulose sits at number 3 on the ingredient list — plant-derived polysaccharide fibre; absorbent, bulking agent, slip modifier. The fibre gathers and carries loose surface cells with it as you massage, so how it feels does not depend on how hard you press.

How to use it
- Wipe off moisture after 1st step cleansing.
- Take peeling gel the size of a penny and apply it over your entire face.
- Roll it like a gentle massage for about 20 seconds.
- Wash your face thoroughly with lukewarm water.
The first step is the one most people skip. A fibre exfoliant needs friction against skin to gather; on a wet face it slides instead. If it has ever failed to roll for you, that is usually why.
