What Is It?
Beauty of Joseon Apricot Peeling Gel is a gentle physical exfoliator with a jelly-like texture that lifts away dead skin cells without harsh grains or microbeads.
The formula draws on traditional Korean ingredients like apricot blossom and plum extract, reinterpreted into a modern, low-irritation exfoliating gel.
What Does It Do?
This peeling gel works by manually lifting away dead skin cells that can build up due to environmental stress, aging, and dehydration.
The result is smoother skin, improved texture, and a brighter overall complexion.
Key Ingredients
Apricot Blossom: hydrates and brightens the skin.
Plum Extract: naturally exfoliates and has been used in Korean skincare for centuries.
Apple Extract: contains natural AHAs to gently refine skin texture.
How To Use It
Apply to clean, dry skin and gently massage for 1–2 minutes until the product begins to pill. Rinse with lukewarm water.
Use 1–2 times per week depending on your skin type.
Who Should Use It?
- Anyone looking for a gentle exfoliation option
- Those who prefer non-abrasive exfoliators
- Dry, dull or textured skin types
Who Should Skip It?
- Sensitive skin types that react to alcohol
- Those who dislike fragranced skincare
Results
Skin feels instantly smoother and softer after use. The pilling effect is satisfying and effectively lifts away debris, leaving a clean, polished finish.
Looking for a more multifunctional alternative?
If you prefer a multi-tasking exfoliating cleanser that doubles as both a cleanser and exfoliant in one (depending on how much water you add!) try:
Jelly Ko Cinnamon Toast Sugar Scrub Foam
It combines gentle physical exfoliation with a hydrating foam cleanse, which is ideal for dry, dull or mature skin.
Final Verdict
A solid option if you want a gentle, non-abrasive exfoliator that delivers immediate smoothing results without harsh grains.
For best results, follow with a hydrating toner and moisturiser to support your skin barrier.
