SKINFOOD Pineapple Peeling Gel 3.38 fl.oz. (100ml) - Pineapple & Aloe AHA Deep Facial Exfoliating Gel, Eliminates Sebum, Skin Clear and Blemish-Free - Dead Skin Remover for Face - Facial Peel

The premise behind peeling gels are that you are supposed to rub them onto your skin - and after a few minutes, little balls of your "dead skin cells" would form! I was skeptical about whether or not this claim of exfoliating off your dead skin is true or not, so I put this product to the classic test - I wore a rubber glove and rubbed some of this product onto a clean plate. I rubbed, and I rubbed, but no balls formed! It just felt like I was rubbing lotion onto a plate, really. So, I tried it on my face, and the little balls of my "dead skin" formed! Personally, I find that quite fascinating. However, it could just be the cellulose in the ingredients (provided in one of the pictures) forming balls, but the product makes my face really smooth, and exfoliated afterwards, despite being a very gentle exfoliator. The pineapple and fruit extracts this peeling gel contains help to brighten my skin. I find that with consistent use of this product; approximately twice a week, my acne scars have brightened quite considerably, and I haven't been breaking out as often. And when I do break out, I just exfoliate using this product, and overnight, my pimples appear to have died down. I always use this at night, but be sure to wear sunscreen the morning after. This product uses a-hydroxy-acids (AHA) and enzymes which help with the exfoliation, and you should always wear sunscreen when dealing with any type of AHA's. Generally, I use this on my face, but this works as an exfoliator on any part of your body as well! Using this on your feet, your hands, or even your elbows works great as well. This product has a really nice fruity and fresh pineapple scent that leaves my skin feeling refreshed! I don't find any cons to this product.

Firstly, to anyone concerned that this product doesn't work, let me exclaim as loud as I can here, THIS PRODUCT WORKS. As someone who has worked in the professional skincare industry and worked alongside estheticians, I picked up a lot of valuable information from them. Firstly, a chemical peel, which is what this is, will NOT NECESSARILY feel abrasive on the skin, some of the strongest facials I ever had were feather light, and yet when it's done and over with, like with this peel, the results are noticeable. I want to carefully advise anyone who thinks it doesn't work, to mind that pineapple actually eats away at human flesh, and it's the active ingredient in this peel. I've found the formula to ball up on itself yes, but the slight grip allows it to grab at and exfoliate the skin better, it clings instead of being completely smooth like a lotion, but isn't abrasive as we all know that actually damages skin, the product is very strong so be careful, I didn't read the instructions and ended up dabbing far more than a quarters' amount into my skin and I ended up accidentally exfoliating my hands, too. I would recommend the following, to get the best results: firstly, use this with a pair of gloves. What exfoliates the face can and will exfoliate your fingertips. The product should be applied in quartered sections of the face, as the product dries really quicky. Rub in small circles until the area you're working on begins to feel smother. Everyone has different skincare needs, and thus the amount of exfoliating needed to achieve results may vary. It's best to begin with a dime sized amount, and slowly increase to meet your exfoliating needs. It's important to really hydrate the skin, and that's best done before bed so the skin can absorb the nutrients. This layer of skin is newer and more sensitive, the best moisturizer method is to start off with a light moisturizer and finish with a slightly richer one to absorb thoughout the night. Keep out of the sun for at least a week until your skin has had time to adjust to avoid sun damage. Happy peeling!😉

Okay first, the little bits of stuff that ball up with rubbing is NOT dead skin. The product does this on any surface with sufficient rubbing, I tested it by applying a small amount to the side of a plastic container & rubbing it in with a latex makeup sponge. However, because you are rubbing that stuff around on your face, the balled up bits help to exfoliate & remove dead skin cells, you just don't shed a dramatic amount. I could tell it definitely did something, the rolled up balls that resulted from rubbing the plastic container remained completely white while the ones from my face were dingy & dirty looking. After rinsing it off, my skin looked cleaner, brighter & smoother. (And my face was freshly washed right before I applied the gel so it was already "clean.") The description says it contains alpha hydroxy acids & pineapple extract (bromelain?) which are two ingredients well known to help dissolve the bonds that hold the dead cells together. Chemical peels are done using AHAs but need to be fairly concentrated & have a low pH to cause actual peeling. This gel has very low concentrations of AHAs & the pH is too close to neutral to have that type of immediate effect. (which is the case for most OTC products containing AHAs, they work over time instead.) This gel is not a completely worthless product as it does exfoliate really well but its not exactly living up to its name as something that causes peeling.

So I genuinely debated not writing this bc I love this product so much and I don’t want people to ruin it. It is so affordable, the best exfoliator on the market, and I’ve been obsessed for years. All these tiktok trends with the sprays and serums that pill/exfoliate skin- this has been doing it for years, quietly, consistently. This is the ingredient in all those wannabes trying-to-be’s. Sometimes gatekeeping is okay. So keep this underground and don’t ruin this for me! Also, don’t contact the Underground Pineapple Society, we’re not interested in new members clout chasing.

This product is a winner. I love this product in every way. Leaves your skin soft and not irritated like some other peeling, and helps your make up go on much smoother. It's an essential item in my skin care regimen.

Die Anwendung ist sehr einfach und effektiv. Das Peeling Gel entfernt im nu alle toten Hautpartikel. Nachdem das Gel ordentlich einmassiert wurde kann man direkt sehen was runtergeputzt wurde. Einfach abwaschen und fertig. Ich bin absolut überzeugt!

I have quite oily skin and I like to use an exfoliating product to keep my pores clear. This product is brilliant. You rub it into your face and you can see the dead skin on your hands, not super nice to see but reassuring that it's working. It smells great and you only need a small amount. Leaves my skin feeling soft and clean, but doesn't dry my skin out. Don't use too much as it will make your skin feel a bit tingly. Great value for money, one bottle lasted me nearly a year. When I needed to replace it I flinched at the price and bought a cheaper peeling gel. Stupid mistake. Cheaper product was useless and I ended up ordering this 1 a week later.

Im ordering the second one now , my skin is combination with no pimples, it gets very dry on my cheeks but this peeling gel is doing great removing the dead skin and its has no granular effect
