Impressed
I'm not a fan of exfoliants because I have very sensitive skin, but this product is very gentle for delicate skin; it removes dead skin and leaves my skin feeling super soft. I use it once a week.

Gentle and effective
I've just bought the e.l.f. Gentle Peeling Exfoliant, and I'm really happy with the results. It's a very light exfoliant, but it does a great job of removing dead skin cells and leaving my skin feeling smooth and refreshed. I have sensitive skin, so I was a little worried that it would be too harsh, but it's actually very gentle. The only downside is that it can be a little drying, so I always make sure to moisturize well afterwards. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a gentle but effective exfoliant.

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

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!

Gentle yet deep clean
This is the gentlest peel I have ever used. Although gentle it gets my skin exfoliated to perfection.
