What the gurus are saying

This peeling gel wins praise for leaving skin baby soft and suiting oily skin without over-drying, with gurus recommending at least five minutes of massage to let it dry and ball up properly. However, dermatologists caution strongly against the jar packaging for anyone with acne or a damaged skin barrier, since repeated dipping introduces bacteria to inflamed or broken skin, a real concern for the people who might need a gentle exfoliant most.

"For physical exfoliation, I really like to use these kind of Korean peeling gels. This one is by Anua. It is the Anua Heartleaf LHA Peeling Gel. I've shown this to you guys maybe last year, this year, multiple times. This is a really good one. [...] This step where you're giving yourself a gentle exfoliation is an important step. So spend at least 5 minutes doing it. [...] Give it time so that the peeling gel actually dries out and starts falling off and that's when you know your exfoliation is complete."
