Phytoncide Peeling Gel 80ml

Dual exfoliation—chemical meets physical—for a clear, refined complexion

This dual-action peeling gel combines LHA (a gentle chemical exfoliant) and plant-derived BHA (which dissolves pore-clogging debris) to melt away dead skin cells, while Ecocert-certified organic cellulose physically lifts away surface buildup. Instead of harsh scrub particles, it uses cellulose sourced from pine trees for a non-irritating exfoliation experience. Dermatologist-tested for gentleness, the formula leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated—never tight or stripped.

Soothing care powered by upcycled Jeju hinoki cypress water

Sourced from hinoki cypress groves 480 meters above sea level on Jeju Island, this ingredient is distilled at low temperature from pruned branches that would otherwise go to waste—capturing the full calming power of phytoncides. Hinoki water soothes freshly exfoliated skin, while houttuynia cordata extract and panthenol form a moisture-locking layer to support the skin barrier. Formulated with EWG Green-grade ingredients and free from mineral oil, silicone, parabens, synthetic fragrance, and artificial colorants.

For dull complexion and rough texture

Ideal if buildup is preventing your skincare from absorbing properly or causing makeup to sit unevenly on the skin. Use once or twice a month in sync with your skin's natural renewal cycle, or weekly on areas where texture is more visible. After cleansing, gently pat skin dry, apply an even layer, and massage in circular motions for 1–2 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Use right after cleansing, before toner

A peeling gel is your exfoliation step after cleansing and before toner. Removing dead skin cells first helps your toner, serum, and cream absorb more effectively. Use it after thoroughly removing makeup, on skin that's been gently patted dry.

Use 1–2 times per week in your evening routine

Exfoliation is best done after your evening cleanse. Since skin naturally renews itself every 28 days, using this once or twice a month is usually enough. For areas where buildup is more visible—like around the nose or along the jawline—you can add an extra session once a week. Daily use can sensitize even healthy skin, so it's important to pace yourself.

Dispense a moderate amount and gently roll

Take about a 500-won coin-sized amount and spread it evenly across your face, then massage gently for 1–2 minutes. The organic cellulose will begin to clump and lift away dead skin cells. You don't need to apply pressure—light, circular motions are enough to do the job. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Pair with the right next step for your skin concern

• If dullness is your concern: Follow up with a vitamin C serum to boost tone-evening results
• If dryness worries you: Layer on a deeply hydrating toner and moisture cream right after peeling
• If pores and oil are on your mind: Finish with a lightweight, water-based toner for a fresh feel

Precautions

This formula contains LHA, a gentle exfoliating ingredient, and plant-derived BHA, which helps dissolve buildup inside pores. Using it on the same day as retinol or other exfoliating products may cause irritation. Since skin can be more sensitive after exfoliation, be sure to apply sunscreen thoroughly the next morning. If you experience stinging or redness during use, rinse immediately and discontinue.
