System Verdict
This is a very gentle, mostly superficial gommage scrub with minimal true exfoliation power. Efficacy is driven almost entirely by cellulose-based rolling particles providing light mechanical polishing, with no meaningful acid content or keratolytic actives for clinically relevant exfoliation; soothing humectants and plant extracts make the experience pleasant but do not turn this into a high-performance peeling treatment.
