REVIEW: Lioele Aroma Soft Peeling Gel

I know this is bad. I am so obsessed with keeping my face clean and pimple-free that I use a lot of skin care products for my face. 

Last year, I got a sample from one of the online sellers in ebay.ph. She gave me a sample of Lioele Aroma Soft Peeling Gel. I was so curious about this product that I had to search on the internet how to use it. 

To make the story short, I ordered a full sized 120ml plastic tube from Han Ryu. I totally forgot the price of this (but do not hesitate to go to Han Ryu's Facebook page and ask her - the seller's really nice!)


********************************************************************

THE PRODUCT

- It's a peeling gel. 
   
    Let us have a short class on PEELING GELS. 

    A peeling gel is meant to exfoliate the skin. It is designed to unclog pores and remove dead skin cells. A lot of brands like SkinFood, Lioele, Laneige and Missha have their own version of peeling gels. 
    I am not a geek so I'll be asking help from Google. I found this site that can easily explain what a peeling gel is: 

These cleaning compounds may include abrasive granules such as pulverized lava, jojoba beads, or ground grape seeds. The abrasive granules exfoliate skin by acting as a form of sandpaper, scrubbing off dead or loose skin cells. The addition of an alpha hydroxy acid, such as glycolic, citric, or lactic acid, aids in this process by reducing cell adhesion and allowing for easier removal. Fruits such as oranges and papayas contain natural alpha hydroxy acids. Hyaluronic acid is another common ingredient of peeling gels that improves the texture of the skin by increasing hydration.



    
- Lioele Aroma Soft Peeling Gel comes in a 120ml plastic tube. 




- I couldn't find this product in Lioele's Philippine website. But I found a site that could help me in giving you more information about the product. 

Details:
This product controls dead skin cell and impurities of skin effectively by including natural cellulose which is organic pealing substance. It helps to speed-up the skin turnover cycle to make your skin clean and healthy. It also includes Vitamin A and E to promote skin softness. 

How to Use:
1. Apply Aroma Soft Peeling Gel to face after shower or after cleansing face.2. Gently massage into face and let dry.3. After 10 minutes, rinse face with water.4. Gently dry face with soft towel.


- The front part of the plastic tube has an English description. 


I had to edit this picture so that the description can be read. The description is written in white. 



- The back part has no English description. (Oh, by the way, Lioele is a Korean brand) 

My favorite part is the LOGO. :) 


Here's the top part.
-This is my first peeling gel so I do not have any point of comparison.
-Well, it looks like an ordinary cream but the texture is a bit rough (you can feel something rough once you try to rub it on your skin) 
- But fear not! When I said 'rough', it's not like the 'salt-type' kind of rough. Keep reading and you will know why :) 

- The smell: Actually, it smells like a toner. 

- The INGREDIENTS: 


Water, Cellulose, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Betaine, Betyl Ethylhexanoate, Phenoxyethanol, Carboxymethyl Chitosan Succinamide, Carbomer, Arginine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Methylparaben, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Propylene Glycol, PVM/MA Copolymer, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Fragrance, Sodium Hyluronate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate















THE APPLICATION
-How to use:
Apply Aroma soft peeling gel to face after cleansing faceGently massage into face and let it dryAfter 10 minutes, rinse face with waterGently dry face with soft towel


- Here's my face before rubbing the product:



Looks oily but it isn't
- Yes, we have to rub product on our face. The instruction says: MASSAGE (I'd better be nice to my face) 



My face already looks yucky. 




Look  at those nasty blackheads on my nose!





- After massaging Lioele Aroma Soft Peeling Gel on my face, these white stuff would form. I guess this is the ingredient that exfoliates your skin. 

-For those with sensitive skin, do not fret. Once you have massaged the product on your face, you will not even notice the 'rough' texture of the gel. It definitely slides on your skin as you massage your face.

- I did not feel any 'sting' from the product. (But there as a time that I forgot to rinse off after  10 minutes - I think it took 30 minutes and a 'sting' feeling for me to remember that I had this on my face.) 

- It's not sticky. No itchy feeling. 




It looks icky but it's tolerable :) 



- AFTER THE APPLICATION
- When I first tried this, I did not appreciate the product. Most of my blackheads were still visible. But my skin became felt softer. Although it contained alcohol, my skin did not become dry.
- I decided to give this a shot since I already bought the full-size tube and I do not want my money to go to waste. 
- I use this product twice a week and I've noticed that my skin was much cleaner and my blackheads were lessened. 
- My skin became softer and clean. 


WHAT CAN I SAY
I love this product because: 
- It did not give me any BREAKOUTS (no pimple/zit experienced after trying this product) 
-Although it says 'peeling', I did not feel any harsh effect or sting-y feeling while using this. 
- It did not make my blackheads disappear but at least they were lessened. 
- It did not dry my skin. Instead, my skin felt softer after using the product. 
- It really cleans my face. 


The CONS:
-It is not locally available. I was checking out on Lioele Philippines if they sell this locally. Unfortunately, I could not find it. (good thing I am in-love with Han Ryu ^_^)
- It smells like a toner. It's tolerable but it makes you a bit scared to try this because of the alcohol content.) 


Will I still buy this?
- Yes. BUT, since this is my first peeling gel, might as well try other peeling gels. Maybe they work better than this :)
