Texture, Feeling
The texture is a non-sticky milky white gel, with a refreshing citrus-y aroma. The smell is from bergamot oil. Even though it still contains essential oils, it doesn't sting on my skin.
How to use it. I rub it on dry skin, but if your skin is a very sensitive, you can use it on damp skin. Make sure the skin is already clean from makeup. Then I massage my entire face in a circular motion like I'm washing my face, avoiding the eyes area and mouth. I put more force on area with more blackheads and dead skin cells like nose and chin.
Teksturnya gel berwarna putih susu, tidak lengket, dengan wangi jeruk yang menyegarkan. Wanginya berasa dari bergamot oil. Walaupun masih mengandung essential oil, tidak perih dikulit saya.

Cara pakainya saya oles di kulit yang kering tapi kalau kulit kalian tipe yang sensitif banget bisa dioles di kulit yang agak lembab. Pastikan kulit sudah bersih dari make up. Lalu saya pijat ke seluruh wajah dengan gerakan memutar seperti sedang cuci muka, hindari daerah mata dah mulut. Saya tekankan agak kuat dibagian yang banyak komedo dan kulit mati seperti hidung dan dagu.
IMO, the way peeling gel works is very interesting. It forms of gel texture at first, the longer I massage it on my skin in circular motion, it balls up into a small white lumps. People were often mistaken this with dead skin cells.
The explanation is, Cellulose and a material called carbomer will clump up when in gets contact with our natural oil, form into soft white clumps. Dirt and dead skin will stick to it, so it will look dirtier than before.
After that, I rinse it off with lukewarm water, avoiding the cellulose lumps get into eyes and mouth. My skin becomes very smooth and instantly brighter than before. My skin also feels soft and supple, there is no tightness and dryness at all.
Menurut saya, cara kerja dari peeling gel ini sangat menarik. Awalnya dari tekstur gel, lama-kelamaan menjadi gumpalan kecil berwarna putih semakin lama saya pijat dengan gerakan memutar. Nah, ini yang sering salah dikira daki atau kulit mati.

Selulosa dan bahan bernama carbomer akan menggumpal ketika berkontak dengan minyak (di kulit) membentuk gumpalan putih yang lembut. Daki dan kulit mati kita nanti akan menempel di gumpalan tersebut, sehingga gumpalannya akan terlihat lebih kotor dari sebelumnya.
Setelah itu baru dibilas dengan air hangat, hindari juga gumpalan selulosa tadi masuk mata dan mulut. Kulit saya menjadi sangat halus dan seketika lebih cerah dari sebelumnya. Kulit saya juga terasa lembut dan kenyal, tidak ada rasa kering sama sekali.
Conclusion
I used to underestimate the exfoliating power of peeling gel. Because the lumps feel too soft, compared to rougher scrub that gives more of a 'polished' and 'clean' feeling. But because my skin is quite sensitive, instead of smooth skin, it becomes red and irritated. So I prefer peeling gel. Do you still use scrubs? If yes, I suggest switching to peeling gels that more gentle to the skin!
Tadinya saya cukup meremehkan daya eksfoliasi peeling gel. Karena gumpalan-gumpalannya itu terasa lembut di kulit, dibanding scrub yang lebih kasar jadi kulit lebih terasa dipoles. Tapi karena kulit saya lumayan sensitif, alih-alih kulit jadi halus setelah di scrub, malah merah-merah dan iritasi. Makanya saya lebih suka peeling gel.
Kalian bagaimana? Ada yang masih pakai scrub? Kalau iya, saya sarankan beralihlah ke peeling gel yang lebih gentle ke kulit!
