Love it, will repurchase. Despite its name, I use it in the morning. Leaves my skin feeling fresh without irritation (you don't need much product). Has no smell.

I was aware of their 'Good Morning' cleanser which seemed a little bit stripping for my sensitive skin based on their ingredient list, so I decided to try this Pha version instead. And I'm so glad I did! It helps me gently exfoliate on a daily basis without stripping my face, as my pores tend to clog.

✦ Price: Pretty reasonable for me considering that I use this product every two days plus I always buy it on sale
✦ Lasts about 5 months

mediocre product; hate the smell
i was really looking forward to trying this, as it seems to be one of if not the most popular peeling gel (was very surprised that i had to submit it here).
i really hate the smell of this product. it’s medicinal; it reminds me of being at the dentist. furthermore, the texture of the product is uncomfortable. after loving a peeling gel by Holika Holika, this was a major letdown.
