Ebanel Brightening Peeling Gel with Cotton Cellulose, Rice, Papaya, Centella, Hyaluronic Acid for Face and Body, Gentle Exfoliating Face Scrub Gel Peel Wash, Deep Pore Cleanser Minimizer Exfoliator

Pros - gentle, no irritation - removes layer of dry skin - very quick and easy to use - not crazy expensive Cons - could be a little cheaper.. (I think it's a really good value, I'm just cheap) ---------------- I have fairly sensitive skin that dries out easily when exposed to most cleaning/exfoliating/acne products. It also likes to form a nice flaky layer of dead skin during the winter, which is impenetrable by any moisturizer known to man. I took a chance on this Ebanel face scrub though, and it works great! As you rub it into your skin, it starts to ball up, and you can feel the little balls causing mild abrasion where you're rubbing. It doesn't irritate my skin at all though. My skin just feels way more smooth and even a little more hydrated when all rinsed and dried off, and best of all the layer of dead skin is gone, and the remaining healthy skin readily absorbs the rosehip oil I use as moisturizer. I haven't tried many others exfoliators (due to the whole sensitive/easily dried out thing), so I can't really compare, but I'm glad I decided on this one. It is definitely better than any St. Ives exfoliator I've tried. And while it is more expensive than St. Ives, you don't need to use very much at a time, and it works so well (along with the rosehip oil) that I haven't needed to use it more often than once every couple of weeks. I've used it several times and the bottle still feels full. On sort of a side note here, it seems like a few other reviewers of this product have, for some reason, made the assumption that the little balls that form are all dead skin cells balling up, and then they are doing a little more experimenting and finding out that the little balls forming are not purely skin cells but the product itself, and then acting like they've been duped..? Not.. super sure why that's happening.. but I can say that it would quite worrying if all those little balls were purely skin cells - that would be a lot of skin to lose from a relatively small area and would mean the product was stripping away more than just the flaky outer layers. I don't see any chemical exfoliators in the ingredient list, so the mechanism of action of this product is probably that the friction of rubbing causes the product to ball up, and as you continue rubbing, it lifts and sticks to dead skin cells, kind of like picking up lint with little balls of playdough. It seems to work really well. So yeah, if you want a no-fuss product that gently removes dry flaky skin, this is a very good option.

Whoa! I've never used a skincare product like this before. Although I don't like synthetic perfumes in skincare products, the scent in this gel is subtle, clean and uplifting. It's also near the bottom of the ingredient list, which is often not the case in commercial skincare products. This product is a lightweight, whipped gel/cream that you apply to your face after cleansing (it's okay if you wake up with a makeup free face and want to use it alone). So here is how you use it: while your skin is still damp, massage it in circular motions into your skin for about 30 seconds or longer. Avoid your eyes and lips and pay attention to your pore-y T-zone area! Instantly, pieces of dead skin residue begin to peel off, even though it doesn't feel like any serious exfoliation is going on. The gel is cool, comfortable, and gentle on your skin. It's a pleasant experience, one that produces real results! This is not a peeling face mask like I expected. Instead, it's a gel that easily peels off your dead skin to reveal a brighter complexion! It quickly cleaned and cleared up my pores, especially around my nose, and left my skin feeling soft and smooth. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my usual dry, winter skin did not feel very dry afterwards. My face felt clean, refreshed, and gently moisturized. I can't usually go without moisturizer (I use homemade, natural essential oil & plant oil blends), but I haven't needed it too much since using this. I'm impressed with the high quality ingredients in this exfoliating gel. It contains beneficial, plant-based ingredients like aloe, tomato culture extract, mushroom extract, licorice extract, willow bark extract, castor oil, allantoin (a healing compound that's found in comfrey), japonica bark extract, glycerin, edelweiss (ooh!), flower extracts, honey extract, and more. This is a fantastic (mostly) natural skincare product! I'm so pleased by it and completely blown away by how pleasantly effective and softly aromatic it is. I recommend this product 100%... the ingredients matter to me because I make many of my own plant-based skincare products. And this one is fantastic. Go for it! ♡

This is a really good product.It's a little more gritty than I thought it would be.But a very fine grit, so it gets rid of all that dirt and excess skin on your face and neck.I really like it just a little, tiny bit is all you need.

So, there's someone who said it gets messy and rolls up in balls and looks all white and flaky. You have to make sure your face is wet enough /damp first and then take small amounts and rub in small circular motions. If your face is too dry, it WILL clump up into white balls and look all flakey and messy - which means you've used it wrong! If your face is TOO wet, it won't ball up at all (into the small beads) and you won't feel it exfoliating your skin well. I would def recommend washing it off after WITH some sort of cleanser or at least soap, so it comes off better with less harsh rubbing. If you just splash with water to take it off, it'll take you a while to get it fully off and it may cause too much rubbing. I LOVE the feeling after and how light my skin looks and how it seems brighter afterwards. It helps me feel so clean to know I got all the dry skin and gunk off. It's pretty obvious that all the gunk does come up cuz you can feel your skin after and it'll be more raw/rough as if all the oils and layers of heavy dirt&dead skin or whatever were taken off . I would say this one is a bit "rougher" of a bead compared to the Cure brand (the only other I've used). But it could be because of how damp your face is, the more damp, the gentler the beads were . (By beads I mean when the exfoliant balls up/ forms together to cleanse the skin). I actually liked this about it as it feels like it gets the job done better, but I almost felt like I needed a lotion to put on after because of it. I use to use the Cure exfoliant (sold on Amazon too). It was about $39- ish for a little bit more ounces than what you get here. But still was way more expensive than this one. I've been trying to cut costs and after looking online and on Amazon it seemed like every exfoliant that forms into beads on the skin, was super expensive. Even more than the Cure brand. Then I came to this brand. I was worried because it was the cheapest of them all But I decided to give it a try. I am so so so happy that it compares just as well to the Cure brand. They work the same pretty much except this one is better priced :) I will say that the cure brand had a bit more gentleness to it and also seemed to stretch a bit further (like one small drop was enough for almost my whole face!) This one does clump up faster - meaning you have to use more because it doesn't spread as far. You really have to get the RIGHT amount of dampness on your face to make sure it doesn't clump too little or too much. I found myself using more drops of it than the Cure because I had misjudged how damp my face needed to be. However, overall I still think this brand is more cost effective because I'm really not using THAT much more than the Cure brand and it's so much cheaper. I think I'll end up using about the same amount (one bottle of this brand) in the same amount of time I used a bottle of cure. I will say that the cure had a pump for it to come out (you push on the pump and it comes out). This one came out a bit fast at times so be careful pouring it out ! I was able to twist open the cap and put excess back in though.

Bought this trying to replicate the Phillip Roth exfoliator which is priced at 48. retail. This one NEEDS water to work; the Roth product needs dry skin to work. I think both are equally effective with this one being more than half the price of the name brand. Skin felt smooth and soft after using. No side effects. Happy with purchase.

If you have sensitive skin then this product is not for you. I used a little bit every three days. My skin started peeling off heavily and no amount of cream could stop the stripping even after the use of the product was discontinued

O. M. G. You are not going to believe this stuff! You can look at my reviews and know that there are a lot of products I like (and a few not so much). Even for those that I think are fantastic, I'm just not the fan girl type. But this one... wow! There hasn't been a product that on first try has knocked me off my feet like Ebanel Ultimate Brightening Peeling Gel. Fan girl am I. And here's why. (Some people like to know the ingredients, so I have posted those at the end): 1) It WORKS! I keep wanting to throw in a few inappropriate but enthusiastic, joyful expletives here because it is so over the top. Use about a quarter-size amount, rub it between your fingers, then rub it all over your face (avoiding eyes and lips). It works immediately. Not 21 days. Not a week. Not 3 days. Like NOW. The dead cells start literally rolling off. Unbelievable amounts of them. You don't have to wonder if you're exfoliating or not. No doubt. It's workin'. 2) It's MILD. When the peel was working its magic and I'm watching dead cells and old age rolling off, I'm wondering "What price am I going to pay with raw, red skin? Anything this powerful has got to leave my skin hurting a little." No. Not even the tiniest sting. No red skin, not even pink. My skin felt better than ever. 3) RESULTS. After I rinsed and dried my face, my skin felt like satin-y velvet and looked great, too. (I might add, I had just finished an advanced studies paper after sitting at my computer for 12 hours with my face scrunched up, and totally stressed everything including skin.) My husband had just come home from a business trip, and I said, "Here. Feel my face." He thought I was being weird, but he complied. His response, "WOW! Let me try some." Now this is a little unusual perhaps, but he used it on his head. He's bald, and that skin is exposed just as much as his face, and there were some rough patches on his scalp. He got the same awesome results and now I'm going to have to order another tube so he doesn't steal mine. 4) BETTER AND FASTER THAN A PEEL: I was actually a little put off by the term "peel" because that brings to mind some gooey stuff that has to sit on my face for an hour, then I pull strips of it off... not my thing. Not this. It's really an exfoliating cream that you rub in, see the old skin go bye-bye as you rub, rinse (I use a warm washcolth), and in under a minute you're done. 5) MADE IN THE USA, NO ANIMAL TESTING, PARABEN FREE. 'Nuf said. I guess by now you've gotten the idea that I like it.
