ロゼットゴマージュ角質つるつるこするジェル

skincare exfoliator

A gentle peeling gel that uses fruit derived AHAs (lactic, citric, and malic acid) to roll away dead skin cells and reveal smoother skin underneath. One of Japan's original drugstore peeling gels, first released in 2000 and still going strong. The "gommage" style works by massaging the gel on dry skin until it forms soft little balls that lift away old keratin and pore debris. Comes in two versions: Clear Peel (with charcoal and sea mud for pore concerns) and Bright Peel (with vitamin C derivative for dullness). A longtime staple on r/AsianBeauty and a popular introduction to Japanese style peeling gels for beginners. Can be used on both face and body, even on wet skin. Around ¥600 at Japanese drugstores, making it one of the most affordable exfoliators on the market.

Key Ingredients

AHA (fruit acids) Charcoal Sea Mud Extract

FAQ

How often should I use this?

Most people use it 1-2 times per week. It's gentle enough that some use it more often, but you don't want to over-exfoliate. If you're using other actives like retinol or AHAs, start with once a week and adjust based on how your skin responds.

What's the difference between Clear Peel and Bright Peel?

Clear Peel has charcoal and sea mud for pore concerns and oil control. Bright Peel has a vitamin C derivative for dullness and uneven tone. Both use the same gommage mechanism (gel that rolls into soft balls) and fruit-derived AHAs. Choose based on your main concern: pores or brightness.

Does it work on wet or dry skin?

It works best on dry skin because the gel needs to grip onto dead skin cells. You can use it on damp skin, but the pilling action is more effective when skin is completely dry. After massaging for 30 seconds, rinse thoroughly.
