Fantastic skin peel
I have used several other more expensive brands of skin peels and I was hesitant about using this one after the expensive ones. This works fantastic! I will be using this from here on out.

Affordable exfoliation product
I love this product and it is soâ¦.affordable. Itâs not harsh but it removes a lot of dead skin from my face. Itâs hard to find in the local stores. Being a retin-a user I have a lot of skin that needs to get off of my face and I have found that this product works much better than more expensive brands.

Gentle Yet Effective
### **”Gentle Yet Effective: e.l.f. SKIN Gentle Peeling Exfoliant Face Cleanser Review”**I recently started using the **e.l.f. SKIN Gentle Peeling Exfoliant Face Cleanser**, and it has quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. This **3.04 fl oz** bottle of exfoliating cleanser is formulated to gently remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin **glowing and youthful** without being harsh or abrasive. Hereâs my full review based on its performance, ingredients, and overall experience.### **Gentle Exfoliation**As someone with sensitive skin, Iâm always cautious about using exfoliants that can be too harsh or cause irritation. The **e.l.f. SKIN Gentle Peeling Exfoliant** lives up to its name by providing a **non-harsh exfoliation** thatâs suitable for sensitive skin types. It uses a **liquid formula** that gently lifts and removes dead skin cells, revealing a **smoother, brighter complexion** underneath without causing redness or discomfort.Unlike traditional exfoliants with gritty particles, this product is much gentler. It provides a **peeling effect** as you massage it into the skin, which feels satisfying and leaves the skin feeling soft and refreshed after rinsing.### **How It Works**The magic of this exfoliant lies in its **chemical exfoliation** process, which breaks down dead skin cells on the surface without scrubbing. After applying the product and gently rubbing it into my face, I could feel the formula starting to work, lifting away dull and dead skin. The peeling action was gentle but effective, and I immediately noticed my skin feeling **smoother** after rinsing.Itâs great for **regular use**, and I havenât experienced any irritation or over-exfoliation, which can sometimes happen with harsher products. Itâs gentle enough to use a few times a week without damaging the skinâs barrier.### **Youthful Glow**One of the things I love most about this cleanser is the **radiant glow** it leaves behind. After each use, my skin looks **brighter** and feels **smoother**, which makes it perfect for achieving that youthful, fresh-faced look. The exfoliation helps improve skin texture, and after a few weeks of use, Iâve noticed a subtle improvement in the overall tone and appearance of my skin.The product works particularly well for those looking to address **dullness**, uneven skin texture, or clogged pores. It helps to create a **refreshed, dewy complexion** without being too abrasive, making it suitable for all skin types.### **Vegan & Cruelty-Free**As with all **e.l.f. products**, this exfoliant is **vegan and cruelty-free**, which is a big plus for anyone looking to incorporate ethical beauty products into their routine. The brandâs commitment to creating **clean and affordable skincare** is evident, and itâs reassuring to know that no animal testing or animal-derived ingredients were used in the making of this product.### **Non-Harsh Liquid Formula**The **non-harsh liquid formula** of this exfoliant makes it a pleasure to use. It feels lightweight and silky when applied, and it rinses off easily without leaving any residue. After using it, my skin feels **clean, refreshed, and hydrated**, with no tightness or dryness.For those with sensitive or combination skin, this is a perfect solution. Itâs gentle enough not to strip the skin of moisture, yet it still effectively removes dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion.### **Application and Results**To use, I simply applied a small amount to my dry face, massaging it gently in circular motions. After a minute or two, I could see and feel the **peeling action**, as dead skin cells lifted away. After rinsing with water, my skin was left feeling **smooth and soft** without any irritation.The results are immediate, but the real magic happens after continued use. Over the course of a few weeks, I noticed my skin becoming more even in tone and texture, with a noticeable reduction in **dullness**. My complexion looks fresher, and my makeup applies more smoothly after using this exfoliant.### **Pros**- **Gentle exfoliation**: Provides effective exfoliation without being too harsh, making it suitable for sensitive skin.- **Brightening effect**: Leaves skin looking fresh and glowing after each use, with noticeable improvements in texture over time.- **Vegan & cruelty-free**: Ethical and clean skincare that aligns with vegan and cruelty-free values.- **Non-harsh liquid formula**: Lightweight, easy to apply, and rinses off cleanly without leaving residue.- **Affordable**: Offers great results at an affordable price, making it accessible for everyone.### **Cons**- **Mild peeling action**: While itâs perfect for sensitive skin, those looking for a stronger exfoliation may find it too gentle.- **May not suit very dry skin**: Some users with very dry skin may prefer a more moisturizing exfoliant, but it works well for normal to combination skin.### **Final Thoughts**The **e.l.f. SKIN Gentle Peeling Exfoliant Face Cleanser** is an excellent addition to any skincare routine, especially for those looking for a **gentle, effective exfoliant** that provides a radiant, youthful glow. Its **non-harsh formula** makes it suitable for all skin types, and the **vegan and cruelty-free** formulation is an added bonus for those mindful of their beauty choices.If youâre looking for an affordable, effective exfoliant that leaves your skin feeling smooth, soft, and glowing, I highly recommend trying this **e.l.f. Gentle Peeling Exfoliant**. Itâs a great product for maintaining **healthy, radiant skin** without irritation or over-exfoliation.

Not My favorite.
I wanted to like this, but I find it difficult. Partially, the issue is that you use it on dry skin – but I assume you need to remove your makeup first, so for me, I need to remove my makeup, then dry my face, then use, which is a bit strange. I guess you could also use it first thing in the morning. I also have issues with how much to use. If I use a small aound, I can feel the pilling they say to expect, but it doesn’t spread far. But if I use enough to feel like I can evenly spread it, then it doesn’t pill up the way it’s supposed to. Overall, just doesn’t seem like a good exfoliator

Buy it now!
Buy it! You will not believe how quickly your dead skin cells will slough off, just by gently rubbing in a circular motion. I use it on my face, feet, arms, and hands. Iâm 65 years old and have dry skin, because, wellâ¦Iâm getting old. A normal shower doesnât cut it anymore for exfoliation. I use another product for the rest of my body. The price is incredible.

Amazing product! Effective but gentle enough to get rid of the dead skin and build up! Your products will absorb so much better after using it :)))

me gusto que con muy poquito producto aplicado en la cara te exfolias zonas y sin pasar mucho tiempo empiezas a ver piel muerta saliendo, te deja la piel de la cara extra suave y se ve mas blanquita jejeje , recomiendo mucho usarlo de 2 a 3 veces por semana y aplicarse en zonas donde hay manchas porque las va desvaneciendo, yo tengo melasma y me desvanecio unas manchitas

Cercando un esfoliante viso su amazon mi sono imbattuta in questo di Elf, che funziona allo stesso modo di quello di un’altro brand molto più costoso.Il peeling si presenta come un gel fresco che massaggiato sulla pelle inizia a rilasciare dei “granuli” che ho cercato di fotografare, questi non sono altro che cellule morte della pelle del viso che vengono esfoliate.Dopo aver risciacquato il viso la pelle risulta fresca e liscia e morbidissima. Non sarà super esfoliante ma probabilmente usato regolarmente darà i suoi frutti. Adoro la linea skin care di Elf.
