Love this product
It exfoliates your skin gently and makes it feel baby soft! I feel like my moisturizer soaks in better after I use this. I also use it on my hands and it makes my hands feel and look so soft!! I had received it as a free gift and did not think I was going to like it now I'm on my third bottle.

amazing product!
I tried this as a free sample, and was pleasantly surprised at the results! It has a fresh smell and feel, and even though I have sensitive skin it doesn't burn. I found that using a moisturizer afterwards is pretty important, if you don't your skin will dry out pretty quickly, but overall I love this product and will definitely purchase!

Excellent exfoliant
By far one of my favorite ELF products. I use it 2x a week and my skin looks and feels great. Overall, this just adds to all the other terrific products they make. Seriously, affordable skincare is what I want. I will never go back to any expensive brand as I can get everything I need at ELF.

Great product
My esthetician had said that my face needed to get exfoliation from time to time to remove the dead skin that my face apparently didn't naturally shed off. I tried this one and she definitely noticed an improvement. I really do love this product. Super gentle but effective. Leaves skin smooth

love it!!
this one is super gentle which is great for more sensitive skin, and while it does take some time for results to show, it makes your skin feel so nice afterward and it’s definitely worth it!

Mega gut
Das Peeling ist nicht so grobkörnig wie andere aber es reinigt effizient und zuverlässig. Es lässt sich, gut auftragen aber auch wieder gut abwaschen.

Immediate Results
This is exactly the product I was looking for. I needed some deep exfoliation for my face. I've been having issues with my nose and dry skin overall. I could tell this worked immediately. There was gross dead skin on my hands when I rubbed the product over my face. That said, it was gentle on my skin. No burning, red marks (I have fair skin). I did cleanse and moisturize after. I can tell the difference in my complexion after only 4 days. Love love love this. And much cheaper than some of the stuff I've seen being pushed on tiktok and such.
