Benton - PHA Peeling Gel

I have very sensitive skin (combo, dehydrated, flakes disgustingly around pimples) that freaks out to any sort of foaming or soapy cleanser, and I absolutely cannot tolerate AHAs or BHAs. I got this honestly because I really trust Benton as a brand (I've used their snail bee line and some other products for 4-5 years now and they're my holy grail--but YMMV, I know some peoples' skin hates snail). You put a big glob of this on cleaned, dry skin and start gently massaging in circles. What it'll do is start balling up into little white pieces that are kinda like torn up bits of wet tissue paper. Basically the cotton in this gel will ball up and also gently pick up some of the dead skin cells on your face as it does that. And then you just rinse it away with warm water and it leaves a slightly hydrating film on your skin (some people might hate that but I'm cool with it). I use this in the morning since I already have no makeup on, and I use it about every ~3 days. It helps with my dry patches and improves the look of makeup in those areas. The name "peeling gel" sounds really harsh but this is the gentlest thing I've ever used! If you like the rest of Benton products and have sensitive skin, I hope my review can be useful to you :) + Sorry for any possible typos! I didn't proofread.

I just loooooove this peeling gel! My skin is dry and gets easily irritated, especially by usual scrubs, but at the same time I have little bumps on my cheeks, not really spots or black dots, but just little texture. So I tried to order this peeling gel, seeing many people with sensitive skin recommend it, and it's just a miracle! My skin is like a baby bum now, without any irritation.

the consistency is very interesting, like a cream, but then when you put it on your face and rub it around it balls up like your skin is peeling off. afterwards my face feels soft and I really enjoy this product as it is very gentle. good starting chemical exfoliant.

Ok so this peeling gel was recommended to me by an acquaintance but I have to say that I love the results. I have sensitive skin but it helps exfoliate the skin very smooth and afterwards my skin is super soft. I use it 3 times a week and it's already visible on my skin that I've gotten rid of those greasy bumps under the skin (note: I have clear skin but little imperfections on the forehead, the rest of my face is pimple free :D ).

This product is the first chemical exfoliant I have ever used. I was kinda sceptical about chemical exfoliation as I my skin tends to get a bit sensitive sometimes, but after some research I decided on using a PHA for a first trial. I could not have been more happy I chose this one!! It's mild but you notice the difference after using it a few times. My pores just looked cleaner and my face a lot brighter. It's very moisturizing, which I did not expect at all, my skin feels super soft after using it, and it really helped with breakouts I had. It just seemed to calm them down a lot!! I really enjoyed this one xx

I used to use secret keys lemon peeling gel. This has way better ingredients and performs just the same. I only wish that it came in a bigger tube.

I'm using this PHA gentle peeling for 10 days, which means I used it 4 or 5 times total and I'm really liking it. It's very gentle on my super sensitive skin, that is why I opted for a PHA exfoliator. I highly recommend it for sensitive skin!

That is one of my favourite go-to peeling. It is very gentle, no tingling, no irritation, but it is effective in a way "a little goeas a long way". I am using it for at least 2 years now once a week, my skin is acne prone and i am using a retinol. But this peeling is so gentle that it is not a problem with PHA and retinol (if you want, but i am doing retinol-free day when using this peeling anyway). I am sensitive for acids and that's the only one i really like to use.

very good peeling, cleanses the skin well, does not dry out, leaves pleasant sensations

Absolutely love this peeling gel. Hygienic tube which is great too. All in all, really pleased because it leaves my skin feeling so smooth

This is my repeated purchase of this peeling gel. I am very satisfied with it and its results. Suits best my skin.

Got this looking for a chemical exfoliant now about a month ago and it’s one of the best gentle chemical exfoliants I’ve used. My skin feels so soft and refreshed after using it and I have no irritation! I really feel like after using it helps my toner, serum, and creams absorb so much better! Highly recommend!
