2 comments by Zoe Roche

Hey Beauties! You’ve probably heard of physical and chemical exfoliators, but did you know there's a lesser-known, yet equally impressive player in the exfoliation game? Meet the gommage cleanser. For those exploring beyond the usual exfoliation methods, the Apricot Peeling Gel by Beauty of Joseon is a standout choice.

Price: $19

Quantity: 100ml

How to use: Apply to dry skin after cleansing, avoiding the eyes. Massage gently for around 20s

Product Description

The Apricot Blossom Peeling Gel is more than just an exfoliator; it's a celebration of traditional Korean beauty methods blended with modern skincare science. The key ingredient, apricot blossom extract, is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, which help to rejuvenate and brighten the skin. This gentle yet effective gel also features natural cellulose that aids in removing dead skin cells and impurities without harsh scrubbing.


What makes this peeling gel stand out is its delicate balance of effectiveness and gentleness. It's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, thanks to soothing ingredients like 19% Prunus Mume water. Prunus Mume, or plum blossom is a symbol of beauty in Korean culture, but also a potent skincare ingredient. Rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, this ingredient is known for its antioxidant properties. It plays a crucial role in helping the skin retain moisture, ensuring that it remains clear, hydrated, and vibrant.

Personal Review

Switching to the Apricot Blossom Peeling Gel was a game-changer for me, especially as someone who had always been cautious about using physical scrubs. My past experiences with exfoliants often left my skin feeling raw and irritated, but this peeling gel introduced me to a whole new world of gentle yet effective exfoliation.

During my first use, I noticed how the gel easily spread over my skin. As I massaged it, the product started to form small clumps, which I initially doubted for their effectiveness. But once I rinsed it off, the immediate smoothness of my skin was undeniable. It was smoother than I'd ever felt after using a physical scrub, and without any of the redness or sensitivity!

Over time, I saw noticeable improvements in my skin's texture and appearance. My complexion looked clearer, and the usual rough patches became smoother. The Apricot Blossom Peeling Gel managed to do what other harsher products couldn't — it effectively exfoliated while being incredibly gentle on my skin.

A personal tip: I found applying it as part of my nighttime routine worked wonders. The gentle exfoliation prepped my skin beautifully for my night serums and creams, enhancing their absorption and effectiveness. Waking up to a visibly rejuvenated, smoother complexion really reinforced my love for this product!

So, if you have sensitive skin and are searching for a product that offers effective exfoliation without the harshness, the Apricot Blossom Peeling Gel by Beauty of Joseon might just be your new holy grail. This gel not only respects the delicate balance of your skin but enhances its natural beauty with each use.
