What it does
Gommage peeling - exfoliates without scrubbing
PENTA-RICE (proprietary fermented rice water + PENTAVITIN) bonds with dead skin cells and sebum as you massage, rolling them off the surface without abrasion. Plant cellulose acts as the physical medium, while AHA (gluconolactone), BHA (salicylic acid), and PHA dissolve the bonds holding dead cells in place.
640,000ppm rice bran water - hydrates as it exfoliates
Most exfoliants strip moisture during the peeling process. The first ingredient here is rice bran water at 640,000ppm - containing over 90% of rice's nutrients including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids - ensuring skin emerges softer and more nourished, not tight or sensitized.
Unclogs pores and controls sebum
Salicylic acid (BHA) dissolves oil-based congestion inside pores while the PENTA-RICE complex absorbs excess sebum on contact. Together they visibly reduce pore count, depth, and area - with results measurable after a single session.
Brightens with Niacinamide and Arbutin
Niacinamide and Arbutin are layered into the formula to even skin tone and reduce the appearance of dullness and discoloration immediately after exfoliation - when the skin's surface is freshest and most receptive to brightening actives.
How to use
1. Apply to dry skin after cleansing. Avoid the eye area and any broken skin.
2. Massage gently in circular motions for 1 to 2 minutes. Dead skin cells will begin to roll off as small residue - this is the gommage peeling working.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Mild tingling during use is normal.
4. Follow with toner and moisturizer. Use 2 to 3 times per week for best results.
Important: Always apply SPF the morning after use. Exfoliation increases UV sensitivity, so sun protection is essential to protect freshly renewed skin.

Quick FAQs
What is gommage peeling and how is it different from a scrub or chemical peel?
Gommage (from the French word for "erasing") is a no-rinse massage peeling technique where a formula bonds to dead skin cells and rolls them off physically as you massage - without abrasive particles that can micro-tear skin. Unlike chemical peels, it works immediately without downtime. This formula combines gommage with AHA, BHA, and PHA for a dual physical and chemical exfoliation effect in a single gentle step.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes - clinically tested and confirmed non-irritating. The formula is free from parabens, common allergens, and silicones. The high concentration of rice bran water actively hydrates and soothes during the exfoliation process, making it gentler than most AHA or BHA treatments. Mild tingling on application is normal and expected from the BHA and PHA.
How often should I use it?
2 to 3 times per week is recommended for most skin types. If you are new to exfoliation or have sensitive skin, start with once a week and increase frequency gradually. Do not use daily, as over-exfoliation can compromise the skin barrier over time.
