What are peeling gels? Peeling gels are not peels ~ they are actually non-physical exfoliators that use fruit enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells and unclog pores, which you can see as you mas sa it onto your skin. They revitalize & refresh the skin & only remove a small amount of superficial skin. Peeling gels must be applied to lớn clean, DRY skin, otherwise, they vì 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 & papayas naturally contain alpha hydroxy acids. Another common ingredient is hyaluronic acid, as that will increase moisture and hydration & 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 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 khổng lồ 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 & found this one by Laneige that is supposed lớn be used on a WET FACE!! OMG

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

Sooo, what is Laneige Multiberry Yogurt Peel Gel? According to lớn Laneige, it is a hypo-allergenic bio-peeling gel that will gently “polish” (exfoliate) skin for a smoother and 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 massage the gel into your face.

Multi-berry complex, made from raspberries, blueberries, goji (wolfberries), cranberries and strawberries, help combat anti-aging by eliminating harmful free radicals and are effective as antioxidants. This multi-berry complex is loaded with vitamins, such as A, C và E, which will nourish your skin. Sogurty™, which is a patented fermented yogurt, has anti-inflammatory effects to lớn soothe irritated, reddened and troubled skin, while strengthening the skin barrier & 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 to remember to lớn grab it from the frig when I want khổng lồ use it, so I rarely bởi vì this.

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

Used on wet skin after face wash. Take an appropriate amount (2cm in diameter is recommended) and gently mas sa over the face using gentle circular movements with the fingertips, và then rinse with lukewarm water. If you want a more intense scrub, use this product lượt thích a normal peeling gel ~ on a dry face.

My Observations

Wow, this peeling gel smells lượt thích berries, lots và lots of berries! It isn’t a cloying or heavy scent, & I really lượt thích 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 and would work for dry & sensitive skin ~ kiểm tra the ingredients menu first khổng lồ 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 and the mannan beads are pretty bouncy under my fingers. It doesn’t clump like a traditional peeling gel và 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 và dirt. When I start with a dry face, it is a bit more “scrubby” and it doesn’t thicken as much compare to using it wet.

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

My face does feel very clean, smoother & 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 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 và 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 và papayas naturally contain alpha hydroxy acids. Another common ingredient is hyaluronic acid, as that will increase moisture & hydration và improve your skin’s texture & 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 và gunk và will form 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 và malic acids are found in cranberries, blueberries, strawberries và 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 and 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 & sodium polyacrylate that will equal HA.

Comparative Studies

When I compare the ingredient list to Secret Key Lemon D-Toc Peeling Gel (a favorite), you can see that they vì 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 vì chưng feel that the Laneige is a lot more gentle than Secret Key, but that could also be due 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 and even out your skin tone over time & 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.
