Some By Mi Yuja Niacin Brightening Peeling Gel 31 ingredients
Not very good. When you rub it against your skin, it forms little white clumps/balls right away... Way too quickly from minimal rubbing. Which made me suspicious... The company wanted it to look like it was peeling your skin (but they added clumping agents.) I even squeezed some onto my table and rubbed the gel against it with a plastic scooping tool which still formed the clumps.
The product Show more
This thing DOES NOT exfoliate your face well. The white thing after rubbing it off your skin is just a gimmick.
