A few months ago, I received a deluxe sample (0.2 oz) of this in an order from Sephora. I put it aside for a while, afraid to use it because of the word peel. I am not into peels, or anything harsh on the skin. When I realized that it uses natural papaya enzymes to exfoliate, I was a little more willing to give it a try. I finally got the courage to use it one day, and I ended up using too much water and it didn't work at all. The next day I tried again, knowing not to use more than a few drops of water, and voila! It foamed up and felt just like a gentle face wash. When I felt my skin after it felt so smooth and soft, no dry patches or dead skin cells left. This is a gentle exfoliant, but I wouldn't use it too frequently as it can irritate the skin. I use it a few times a week and have had no issues.
