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
