What are peeling gels? Peeling gels are not peels ~ they are actually non-physical exfoliators that use fruit enzymes khổng lồ dissolve dead skin cells & unclog pores, which you can see as you mát xa it onto your skin. They revitalize & refresh the skin và only remove a small amount of superficial skin. Peeling gels must be applied lớn clean, DRY skin, otherwise, they do not work as well. Peeling gels should also have an alpha hydroxy acid (glycolic, citric, lactic, malic) as this acid helps in removing dead skin cells ~ lemons and papayas naturally contain alpha hydroxy acids. Another common ingredient is hyaluronic acid, as that will increase moisture và hydration & improve your skin’s texture và tone. They will also contain one or more of the following: acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer or carbomer or cellulose. These ingredients will help “clump” your oil, skin cells & gunk and will form those “balls” on your skin.

But…wait….clean, dry skin…..

Traditional peeling gels require me to have a clean, but dry face before applying the gel. That is not a time saver in the shower, as my clean face is still very wet. I have to dry my face off completely or else the gel won’t work as effectively. Imagine my surprise when I was looking at another peeling gel for a reader and found this one by Laneige that is supposed lớn be used on a WET FACE!! OMG

**** thuds. Picks self up from the floor and resumes typing ****

Sooo, what is Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Peel Gel? According to Laneige, it is a hypo-allergenic bio-peeling gel that will gently “polish” (exfoliate) skin for a smoother & clearer complexion. It is made with mannon beads, which is konjac (a vegetable fiber) và is a natural exfoliator. These beads are not hard, but have a bouncy feel under your fingers as you mas sa the gel into your face.

Multi-berry complex, made from raspberries, blueberries, goji (wolfberries), cranberries và strawberries, help combat anti-aging by eliminating harmful không tính tiền radicals & are effective as antioxidants. This multi-berry complex is loaded with vitamins, such as A, C & E, which will nourish your skin. Sogurty™, which is a patented fermented yogurt, has anti-inflammatory effects to soothe irritated, reddened và troubled skin, while strengthening the skin barrier và promoting collagen.

If you want a cool, refreshing peel, store this in the frig before using. The only problem I have with that is that I have lớn remember khổng lồ grab it from the frig when I want to use it, so I rarely vày this.

What are the official instructions on how to lớn use this product?

Used on wet skin after face wash. Take an appropriate amount (2cm in diameter is recommended) & gently massage over the face using gentle circular movements with the fingertips, và then rinse with lukewarm water.

My Observations

Wow, this peeling gel smells like berries, lots and lots of berries! It isn’t a cloying or heavy scent, and I really like it. The gel is a pink opaque gel that you can see the konjac beads pretty clearly in the product. This is a very gentle exfoliator & would work for dry và sensitive skin ~ kiểm tra the ingredients các mục first to see if you are allergic khổng lồ anything. When I use it on a wet face, it reminds me a lot of Mizon Seaweed Scrub, as it thickens & the mannan beads are pretty bouncy under my fingers. It doesn’t clump like a traditional peeling gel & not at all lượt thích Secret Key, which has an additional carbomer ingredient along with the shared cellulose ~ that could explain why Secret Key noticeably clumps and Laneige does not. However it does emulsify & thicken on my face, so I think that is capturing the oil & dirt. When I start with a dry face, it is a bit more “scrubby” and it doesn’t thicken as much compare lớn using it wet.

I vì chưng an initial massage, leave it on my face for about 2-3 minutes while I bởi vì other shower cleaning, and then massage it in more deeply, using the circular motions & rinse. I want to lớn leave it on my face for a couple of minutes khổng lồ take advantage of the brightening properties of this gel. I didn’t have any issues with rinsing this hàng hóa off & no residue remained on my face.

My face does feel very clean, smoother và moisturized. It doesn’t feel dry or stripped and this is really, really gentle, non-abrasive, so I can use this daily if I want to, as I have oily skin. If you have dry or sensitive skin, you could use it a few times a week.

You bởi vì not NEED this much ~ I put too much sản phẩm on my hand on the wet swatch. You can see how it emulsifies with water & thickens. The last image is a close up ~ if you look carefully, you can see the translucent mannan beads. With the dry skin test, it doesn’t thicken as much.

With Water

 On Dry Skin

Does Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Peeling Gel meet the criteria for a traditional peeling gel?

I had written that traditional peeling gels are commonly made with these ingredients:

Peeling gels should also have an alpha hydroxy acid (glycolic, citric, lactic, malic) as this acid helps in removing dead skin cells ~ lemons & papayas naturally contain alpha hydroxy acids. Another common ingredient is hyaluronic acid, as that will increase moisture và hydration and improve your skin’s texture and tone. They will also contain one or more of the following: acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer or carbomer or cellulose. These ingredients will help “clump” your oil, skin cells and gunk and will size those “balls” on your skin.

Alpha Hydroxy Acid ~ Check! This sản phẩm has three AHA ~ lactic, citric and malic. Yogurt contains lactic acid, citric acid is found in raspberries while both citric & malic acids are found in cranberries, blueberries, strawberries & cloudberries.

Clumping Materials ~ Check! Laneige Multiberry Peeling gel contains cellulose

Hyaluronic Acid ~ I don’t see it in here! HA is a moisturizer và I am surprised that it isn’t in this product. However, perhaps the moisturizing qualities of glycerin và lactobacillus/soybean ferment extract ~ a skin-softening probiotic that is a very intensive moisturizer for your skin, are replacing HA. Another ingredient that could take the place of hyaluronic acid is sodium polyacrylate, which can absorb 200 khổng lồ 300 times its mass in water. HA can absorb và retain 100 to lớn 1,000 times its mass in water, so perhaps between the fermented goodies and sodium polyacrylate that will equal HA.

Comparative Studies

When I compare the ingredient menu to Secret Key Lemon D-Toc Peeling Gel (a favorite), you can see that they vì chưng have quite a few differences in the ingredient list, but many of the ingredients tóm tắt the same properties. They both have solvents, emollients, astringents & moisturizers, as well as anti-inflammatory ingredients, even if they differ. I bởi vì feel that the Laneige is a lot more gentle than Secret Key, but that could also be due to lớn the fact that Secret Key requires a dry face & doesn’t have the mannan beads.

I do lượt thích that Laneige has niacinamide, which will help brighten & even out your skin tone over time và kaolin (clay) which is a great cleansing & detox ingredient for your skin.

Purchase

Thankfully for Yanks, Laneige is sold at target.com (yep, Tar Jay has stepped into the K-Beauty world, selling not only Laneige but Mizon products as well) This is a bit on the pricey side for me, as I can use it daily, but if you only use a peeling gel on occasion, it might be worth giving this a try. I know that the Target version states it is 80mL, but it is 120 mL.
