Koh Gen Do Soft Gommage Spa Gel

What it is: A botanically enriched peeling gel that gently exfoliates while stimulating circulation and encouraging cellular regeneration. What it does: This gently exfoliating gel moistens the skin while the rubbery peelings form to resurface, enrich, and revitalize. Without the use of harsh granules, this formula’s nourishing and gentle composition makes it ideal for even the most sensitive skin. It maintains capillary health and increased oxygenation, which is essential to healthy skin. Chrysanthellum indicum extract reduces redness and irritation as it smooths, working to help combat common skin problems associated with rosacea. Continued use provides the health of the skin to come into balance.What it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens- Sulfates- Synthetic Fragrances- Synthetic Dyes- Phthalates- GMOs- TriclosanWhat else you need to know: Removing dead skin cells allows greater absorption of the nutrient-rich moisture to hydrate deeply. Exfoliating eliminates impurity build-up on the skin, which dulls the complexion and contributes to the development of micromedones (clogged pores).

Best Exfoliator on the entire PLANET!!
-05.16.13
Quick Take: exfoliating, gentle, brightening, miraculous
I'm still getting over the shock of how amazing this product is. I received a sample of this in my last order and hadn't bothered to try it out yet because I have so many exfoliators and masks already. I honestly wasn't expecting much from this product - It's an exfoliator, so what? I have a million of them and they all do the same thing. But I had the sample laying around so I just thought why not, I feel like living dangerously tonight.
This product was NOT what I was expecting at all. I thought it was just going to be your typical exfoliating post-wash mask and it's not at all! After washing my face and patting it dry, I applied this stuff to my face like I would a face wash. As I proceeded to use my fingers in circular motions around my face, I noticed that the dead skin cells were literally peeling off - kind of like when you have a sunburn and your skin starts to peel.
I'll be honest, I was freaked out. I have never used a product like this before and my first thought was "oh boy, my skin is going to be raw after this!" I was wrong again, no rawness at all and I have super sensitive acne-prone oily skin with massive pores and minor acne scarring. This product is surprisingly gentle, even though the result is so dramatic. There is no pain at all, no burning, no irritation, nothing at all but a super smooth result that I am SO happy with.
I have been putting myself on a "No Buy" as of late because I seriously don't need any more beauty products, but this is one item I'm willing to make an exception for. I am buying this immediately. It's ridiculously expensive, and I'm kind of sick to my stomach putting it into my checkout cart, but I think this product is worth the splurge. For me this is a unique product that I am confident is going to make a big difference in my skin. I have a feeling this is going to be an HG skin product for me, and one I won't be able to live without.

Exfoliating miracle!
-05.08.13
Quick Take: exfoliating, perfect for combination skin, rejuvinating
I used this product as a free sample from my last order. I used it in lieu of my regular face mask and it was wonderful! After just one use my combination skin was revived; dead skin literally came off within ten seconds and I found myself using much more than the "dime size" amount recommended simply because it felt so great (and looked so gross coming off). I use the Mia face scrubber and Murad face wash and after using both this gel removed even MORE dirt, etc. from my face. FINALLY.

I didn't notice anything being done by this face mask. It also dried my skin out.

Amazing stuff!
-03.16.13
This is a non-irritating facial exfoliating wash. Immediately after use my face was extremely soft. The other effect I noticed was an overall brightening of my skin as well as a decrease in shine in the t-zone. This is an expensive product, but well worth it since the results are so good.

Love this!

Quick Take: gentle, effective, great for dry patches
Many years ago, I had a wonderful facialist who created a wonderful gommage peel. I loved it and was thrilled when it rolled the dry, flakey skin off my face. This product does the same thing and I am happy I found this. It gently rolls the dry patches off my face without the abrasiveness or acid-like peels I've used. This is a keeper for me.

Quick Take: exfoliating
This is a great product. I have thin-sensitive skin. I use retin-a at least 3 times a week. This is perfect to use on my skin to keep the flaking at bay. I use it a least twice a week without worrying it will cause more redness.

This stuff is amazing. It's gentle with no smell. Just don't start rubbing until you gently smooth it all over. It takes away all the dead flaky skin leaving you glowing. One of my favorite masks.

Truly fantastic exfoliating product!
-10.29.12
Quick Take: calming, exfoliating, non-drying, moisturizing, rejuvenating
I couldn't be happier with this product. I have dry, combination skin that can be extremely sensitive- I'm no stranger to breakouts, and irritation from harsh exfoliants I've used in the past. This Gommage Gel is extremely calming and I notice a decrease in redness, clogged pores, and inflamtion almost immediately. I find with most exfoliants (I've purchased designer names, high end, and drugstore) they give you an artificial softness from the harsh "sand" but my pores are never truly cleaned and my skin is just left dry. This product makes my skin feel renewed, soft, clean and improved. I recommend this gel 100%!

Impressive!
-10.11.12
For some reason, I thought this would be a peel-off mask. I was disappointed to discover that it was an exfoliating scrub when it arrived, but decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did!
This is a really neat scrub - no sting of chemicals and no abrasives. It forms these flexible little rubbery particles that smooth out my skin without irritating it. I also notice a decrease in redness, especially around my nose where years of allergies and mild rosacea have led to a bunch of broken capillaries.
I'll definitely buy this again.
