Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Allantoin is derived from the comfrey plant but produced synthetically for cosmetic products to ensure purity.

Reviews
Here's what our community thinks
Dr.G Brightening Peeling Gel 26 ingredients
I use this product once a week and it works great as a gentle physical exfoliator. Make sure you don't apply too much pressure while massaging it into the face.
I haven't had a problem so far using this peel gel. It's doesn't really have a scent. It's very lightweight which is a plus. I use this once a week to exfoliate my skin. I have combination skin that can be sensitive at times. I'm surprised this doesn't have a better rating than it does
