Medicube 2-Piece Tone & Texture Set for Dull Body Skin – Includes One KOJIC ACID TURMERIC VITA BRIGHTENING BODY WASH 400ml (Cleanser), and One KOJIC ACID TURMERIC BODY PEEL SHOT 280ml (Peel); Use with Your Own Body Moisturizer & Sunscreen

100% Genuine • Vegan-Friendly* • Cruelty-Free*

If you find yourself constantly hiding your shoulders or back due to stubborn post-acne marks and rough bumps, that bumpy texture is retention hyperkeratosis. Your pores are failing to shed dead skin properly.

Brown or dark marks (PIH) are excess melanin — they respond to the Kojic Acid and Niacinamide in this bundle. Red or pink marks (PIE) are damaged capillaries — they respond to soothing agents and time. If your back marks are red/pink, a 'brightening' product alone will not fade them overnight.

Pros: Effectively smooths "strawberry legs" without jagged physical scrubs; features a massive 400ml wash format; tackles multiple pigment pathways simultaneously. Caveats: Can be drying if a body lotion is skipped; the peel shot is rendered useless if applied to wet skin; the peel can stick to coarse body hair if not massaged thoroughly.

That grimy feeling on your back and chest in the Mauritius heat is not dirt — it is sebum and sweat doing their protective jobs. Scrubbing your body more than twice daily with harsh loofahs and alkaline bar soaps strips your acid mantle (target pH 4.5-5.5), which triggers compensatory sebum overproduction, creating the very body acne you are trying to eliminate.

This Medicube bundle breaks the cycle by replacing physical abrasion with chemical dissolution. The Salicylic Acid (BHA) gently penetrates the lipid-rich pore to clear the blockage from within, while the peeling shot uses soft cellulose to roll away dead cells without creating micro-tears in your stratum corneum.

Step 1: Apply the Peel Shot (2x weekly) to completely DRY targeted areas before showering. Massage until it rolls into clumps, then rinse.

Step 2: Lather 1-2 pumps of the Body Wash onto damp skin, massage over breakout zones for 60 seconds to allow the BHA to act, then rinse.

Step 3: Towel off and immediately apply your preferred body moisturizer to damp skin.

Introduce this bundle as the ONLY new active product in your body routine. Wait a full 14 days before using any other strong body acids or scrubs. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

1. Water rinse or gentle body wash (if sweaty from the night).

2. Hydrating body lotion.

3. Body Sunscreen SPF 30+. Mandatory. In Mauritius morning humidity, applying exfoliating acids like BHA and LHA makes your body skin highly susceptible to UV-induced hyperpigmentation if exposed to the sun.

1. Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Body Peel Shot (2x weekly on DRY skin). Massage and rinse.

2. Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Brightening Body Wash. Lather, leave 60s, rinse.

3. Nourishing Body Cream or Lotion to seal the barrier.

If you use an active body serum (like a retinol body lotion), do not apply it on the same nights you use the Peel Shot.

Apply the Peel Shot to completely dry skin. If the skin is wet, the carbomer polymers will dissolve and slip rather than bind to dead skin cells to create the necessary rolling friction.

Utilize the "60-Second Rule" for the body wash: massaging the lather for a full minute ensures adequate surfactant and BHA contact time with the skin. Rinsing instantly wastes the active ingredients down the drain.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

GLOBAL EXECUTION RULES:

• Viscosity ladder: thinnest → thickest; water-phase before oil-phase; treatments before seals.
• Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s; serum layers 30-60s; before sunscreen 10-15 min if going outdoors or applying makeup.
• Amount defaults (unless brand-specific instructions override):
• Watery toner/essence: 5-8 drops per layer (or "coin-size puddle in palm")
• Serum/ampoule: 2-3 drops or 1 pump (face), add +1 drop for neck if used
• Eye product: ½ rice-grain per eye (very small)
• Gel moisturizer: 1 pea-1.5 peas; Cream: 1-2 peas
• Occlusive seal: rice-grain to pea-size max (thin film)
• Sunscreen: 2-finger rule for face; +1 finger for neck
• Skin state rules:
• Hydrators (toners/essences/HA): best on slightly damp skin.
• Retinoids: best on fully dry skin; if sensitive, wait 10 minutes after cleansing.
• Exfoliating acids: apply to dry or lightly damp depending on irritation; keep to one lane.

Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep 'one lane' per night.

LANE STRICTNESS:

• One-lane rule: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany.
• If unsure: default to the safest lane = barrier/hydration, and reduce layers.

The Body Wash is a medium-viscosity gel that lathers rapidly upon contact with water. The Peel Shot is a dense, high-viscosity gommage gel applied purely as a pre-wash treatment.

Both products are water-phase and meant to be rinsed off entirely before applying any leave-on body moisturizers.

Give your body skin designated recovery days without the BHA wash. Exceeding the recommended peel frequency does NOT produce faster results — it produces barrier damage and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

PURGING vs REACTION: Purging occurs in usual breakout areas, is surface-level, and resolves in 4-6 weeks. REACTION (stop immediately) occurs in NEW areas, causes burning/swelling/hives, and worsens without improvement.

Before starting this product, your routine MUST already include: a reliable, hydrating body moisturizer. Without these foundations, this product causes more harm than benefit by over-drying the skin.

If your body skin stings when you apply a basic lotion, feels tight within 30 minutes of showering, or shows visible flaking — your barrier is below threshold. Start with a rich ceramide body lotion first.

For Fitzpatrick Types IV-VI, aggressive physical exfoliation (like hard loofahs) can trigger Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). The soft gommage peeling provided by the Peel Shot is a much safer alternative to prevent rebound darkening on knees and elbows.

Body Breakouts & Congestion: Salicylic Acid (BHA) penetrates lipid-rich follicles to dissolve trapped sebum and dead skin cells, clearing the root cause of back and chest acne.

Hyperpigmentation (PIH) & Dark Patches: Kojic Acid inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production, effectively fading dark marks left by old breakouts or friction on the elbows and knees.

Keratosis Pilaris (Strawberry Legs): The peeling gel physically lifts away built-up keratin plugs on the surface, while LHA and PHA provide gentle, superficial chemical exfoliation to maintain smoothness.

Cannot physically shrink pores. Cannot lighten your natural skin tone — 'brightening' means fading excess pigment, not changing your natural complexion.

Clinical research links high-glycemic diets and dairy to increased sebum via the insulin-IGF-1 pathway. This product addresses sebum topically, but persistent acne may benefit from dietary evaluation.

• APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Body Lotion 300ML: The ideal post-shower companion to seal in moisture and provide additional brightening synergy without conflicting acids. Use PM.
• COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch (24ea): For isolated, deep body breakouts that need protection from clothing friction. Apply to dry skin post-shower. Use AM/PM.

This is a conflict-solver for ACTIVE ingredients. If you run multiple actives, use these rules to avoid irritation, deactivation, and barrier damage.

• One Active Lane per routine: In a single AM or PM routine, run only one primary "active lane" (Retinoid OR Acid Exfoliation OR L-Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C OR Benzoyl Peroxide OR Hydroquinone OR strong acne lane).
• If you break a rule: Don't "push through." Reduce frequency, split AM/PM, or alternate nights.
• Barrier override: If moisturizer stings or skin feels tight within 30 minutes of cleansing → pause all actives and run barrier-only for 3-7 days.
• Wait-time defaults (practical): watery layers 10-20s, serums 30-60s, pH-dependent acids 10-20 min if you insist on layering (split is safer), sunscreen 10-15 min before sun.

A) Retinoid Lane Conflicts (Retinol / Retinal / Tretinoin / Adapalene)

• Retinoids × AHAs (Glycolic / Lactic / Mandelic / PHA strong)
  Rule: Never in the same night (irritation + barrier thinning risk).
  Instead (best options):
  - Skin Cycling (4-night): Night 1 AHA → Night 2 Retinoid → Nights 3-4 Recovery.
  - Alternate Nights: AHA 1-2x/week, retinoid 2-4x/week (separate days).
  - AM/PM split (only if tolerant): AHA in AM with strict SPF, retinoid PM.
• Retinoids × BHA (Salicylic Acid 0.5-2%)
  Rule: Avoid same night for most people (dryness + irritation synergy).
  Instead:
  - Alternate Nights: BHA on non-retinoid nights.
  - AM BHA / PM Retinoid (safer than same layer).
  - Low-dose exception: Very oily, resilient skin may tolerate — but treat as advanced.
• Retinoids × Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO)
  Rule: Do not layer (BPO can oxidize/deactivate retinol/tretinoin; plus double irritation).
  Instead:
  - AM BPO / PM Retinoid.
  - Wash-off BPO cleanser in AM, retinoid PM (lower irritation).
  - Exception: Adapalene is more stable; some fixed combos exist (still irritating → buffer + moisturizer).
• Retinoids × L-Ascorbic Acid (pure Vitamin C)
  Rule: Don't layer in same routine (irritation load + incompatible pH preferences).
  Instead: AM Vitamin C / PM Retinoid (classic split).
• Retinoids × Strong "Peel" Actives (high AHA %, strong exfoliating pads, peels)
  Rule: Never same day; treat peels as their own lane.
  Instead: Peel night → 48-72h recovery → then resume retinoid.

B) Vitamin C Lane Conflicts (L-Ascorbic Acid focus)

• L-Ascorbic Acid × Benzoyl Peroxide
  Rule: Never combine (oxidation → loss of Vitamin C activity).
  Instead: Vitamin C AM, BPO PM (or alternate days).
• L-Ascorbic Acid × Copper Peptides
  Rule: Separate (copper ions can accelerate oxidation; low pH can destabilize peptides).
  Instead: Vitamin C AM, copper peptides PM (or alternate days).
• L-Ascorbic Acid × AHAs/BHAs (separate products)
  Rule: Avoid layering (excess acidity → stinging + barrier irritation).
  Instead:
  - AM Vitamin C / PM Acids.
  - If insisting: Vitamin C first, wait 15-20 min, then acid (still higher risk).
• L-Ascorbic Acid × High-% Niacinamide (sensitive skin)
  Rule: Generally compatible in modern formulas, but can trigger flushing in reactive skin.
  Instead:
  - Wait 10-15 min after Vitamin C before niacinamide.
  - Or split: Vitamin C AM, niacinamide PM.

C) Exfoliation Lane Conflicts (AHA/BHA/PHA)

• AHA × BHA (layering two separate strong products)
  Rule: Avoid stacking separate strong exfoliants (over-exfoliation risk).
  Instead:
  - Use one combined formula (chemist-balanced) OR
  - Alternate days: BHA for pores; AHA for texture.
• Chemical Exfoliants × Physical Scrubs / Brushes / Microderm tools
  Rule: Don't combine same day (micro-tears + "glazed donut" over-strip).
  Instead: Choose chemical exfoliation OR gentle physical occasionally — never both together.
• Direct Acids × Peptides (especially copper peptides)
  Rule: Avoid immediate layering (low pH can destabilize peptide bonds).
  Instead: Peptides AM, acids PM, or wait 20 min after acids.
• Acids × Strong Retinoids (repeat of lane rule)
  Rule: Not same night.
  Instead: Skin cycling / alternating nights.

D) Oxidation / Deactivation Conflicts (chemistry problems)

• Benzoyl Peroxide × Antioxidants (Vitamin C, some polyphenols)
  Rule: Keep separate (BPO oxidizes).
  Instead: Antioxidants AM, BPO PM (or wash-off BPO).
• pH-dependent actives stacked together (too low pH "acid load")
  Rule: Don't stack multiple low-pH products back-to-back unless advanced.
  Instead: Split across routines or days.

E) Layering Physics Conflicts (penetration + pilling + "wasted product")

• Oil-first × Water-based serums (physics barrier)
  Rule: Don't apply facial oils before water serums.
  Instead: Water → serum → moisturizer → oil (oil last).
• Heavy silicones over damp/wet layers (pilling risk)
  Rule: Don't rub silicone layers over wet serums.
  Instead: Wait 60 seconds, then pat silicone product.
• Too many film-formers stacked (pilling + patchy sunscreen)
  Rule: Reduce layers before SPF; sunscreen needs even film.
  Instead: Morning: fewer layers + longer dry time before SPF.

F) "Same Pathway" Redundancy Conflicts (not dangerous, just pointless)

• Duplicate actives in the same lane (no added benefit, more irritation)
  Rule: Don't stack two products that do the same job (e.g., two strong acids, two retinoids).
  Instead: Pick one primary active; use the other on alternate nights or not at all.
• Multiple strong brighteners at once (irritation > gains)
  Rule: Don't stack LAA + strong acids + retinoid all together chasing "fast glow."
  Instead: Choose one lane; add supportive pigment helpers (niacinamide/TXA) on non-irritating days.

Template A: AM/PM Split (most common)
AM: Antioxidant lane (Vitamin C) → Moisturizer → SPF
PM: Retinoid OR Acid lane → Moisturizer

Template B: 4-Night Skin Cycling
Night 1: Exfoliation lane
Night 2: Retinoid lane
Night 3-4: Recovery (no actives)

Template C: Alternate-Night Protocol (simpler)
Mon/Wed/Fri: Retinoid
Tue/Sat: Acid or BHA
Thu/Sun: Recovery

Pre-period breakouts happen because progesterone causes the pore lining to physically swell, narrowing the opening and trapping sebum beneath. Utilizing BHA during the Luteal phase helps dissolve these impactions before they inflame into cystic body acne.

MYTH: 'Hard, gritty scrubs made of sugar or apricot kernels are best for lightening dark knees and elbows.' REALITY: Jagged physical exfoliants cause micro-tears in the stratum corneum, triggering an inflammatory immune response that actually worsens Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). A chemical gommage peel is far safer and more effective for evening tone without trauma.

MYTH: 'Squeaky clean body skin means the acne bacteria is gone.' REALITY: A "squeaky" feeling means the acid mantle (your skin's protective lipid barrier) has been destroyed, raising the pH to alkaline levels where pathogenic acne bacteria actually thrive.

Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region. Hard water leaves calcium stearate film after cleansing that causes tightness. If you notice a film on your body after showering, ensure you follow up with an acidic or highly hydrating body lotion to neutralize the residue.

pH of formulations is not publicly disclosed. Salicylic Acid pKa of 2.97. The efficacy of BHA is highly dependent on the pH of the vehicle; lower pH yields higher free acid values, making it a stronger exfoliant regardless of total acid percentage on the label.

Body Wash Full INCI (Estimated): Purified Water, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Glycerin, Coco-Betaine, Niacinamide (20,000ppm), Salicylic Acid, Kojic Acid (200ppm), Turmeric Root Extract, Fragrance... [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] (Full complete INCI pending brand disclosure update).

Body Peel Shot Full INCI (Estimated): Purified Water, Cellulose, Carbomer, Kojic Acid (300ppm), Turmeric Extract (500ppm), Salicylic Acid (BHA), Capryloyl Salicylic Acid (LHA), Gluconolactone (PHA)... [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] (Full complete INCI pending brand disclosure update).

The preservative system likely utilizes phenoxyethanol or common cosmetic stabilizers, ensuring product integrity in humid bathroom environments.

Fragrance Status: Synthetic Fragrance (Parfum) or Essential Oils.*

*Based on brand-declared INCI. The term 'Fragrance' or 'Parfum' in the INCI list may contain undisclosed allergens. Patch test advised for sensitive individuals.

Scent Description: Medicube products typically feature a faint, fresh, or slightly citrus scent designed to mask the raw chemical odor of the actives.

Intensity (0-5): 2. Dissipation: Lingering 5min+.

Halal Status: Halal-Friendly (Self-Assessed).*

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan Status: Vegan-Friendly.*

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No animal-derived ingredients detected. This is NOT a formal vegan certification by The Vegan Society or equivalent body.

Cruelty-Free Status: Brand states cruelty-free.*

*Brand states cruelty-free, but sells products in Mainland China where post-market animal testing may be required by law. Cross-border e-commerce sales may be exempt.

MFDS Classification: Functional Cosmetic. In South Korea, products claiming specific benefits (like "Brightening" via Niacinamide) must pass rigorous efficacy and safety testing by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

Functional Claims: Skin Brightening / Whitening.

The Korean '미백' (mibaek) classification means regulation of melanin production — fading dark spots to reveal your natural tone. It does NOT bleach or change your natural complexion.

Evidence Confidence: High for Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid pathways in addressing acne and pigmentation.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Unsafe. The formulas likely contain cleansing esters or natural extracts that can act as lipid food sources for Malassezia yeast.

Pilling Assessment: Intentional High (for the Peel Shot).

The Body Peel Shot is a gommage exfoliator. It is *designed* to pill. The carbomer polymers in the gel bind with surface oils and dead skin cells, balling up into small soft clumps as you massage it. This is normal and represents the physical exfoliation mechanism, not a product failure.

The body wash lathers cleanly and rinses away without residue, posing zero pilling risk for subsequent body lotions.

Fresh color: The formulas naturally possess a yellowish tint due to the Turmeric Extract content.

Mauritius-specific storage advice: Kojic Acid can be sensitive to light and heat degradation. Store these products in a cool bathroom cabinet away from the direct sunlight of an open window to maintain active potency.

This product was imported via standard logistics.

Spoilage signs: A complete breakdown in gel viscosity (turns entirely to liquid water), separation that won't remix, or a rancid odor indicating preservative failure. When in doubt, discard.

PATCH TEST: Apply a small amount of the Peel Shot to your inner forearm. Wait 24 hours. If no reaction occurs, apply to targeted body areas.

72-HOUR BARRIER RESET: If adverse reaction: STOP ALL ACTIVES. For 72 hours, use ONLY gentle cleanser + plain moisturizer + mineral SPF. NO acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72h, reintroduce ONE product per 14 days.

EMERGENCY STOP SIGNALS: Hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, breathing difficulty (seek emergency care).

If contraindicated by pregnancy (due to BHA/Kojic Acid), consider a simple hydrating wash like the APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Body Wash as a safer alternative.

1. Applying the Peel to Wet Skin: The gommage polymers require dry skin to bind to dead cells. Water breaks down the gel prematurely.

2. Rinsing the Wash Too Fast: The BHA in the body wash needs at least 60 seconds of contact time to penetrate the pores and dissolve sebum. Rinsing immediately negates the active benefits.

3. Skipping Body Lotion: Exfoliation removes the top protective layer of dead cells. Failing to apply a moisturizer afterwards leads to rapid moisture loss and "ashy" skin.

4. Scrubbing Violently: The peeling gel does the work chemically and with soft physical friction. Scrubbing hard damages the skin barrier.

5. Ignoring SPF: Using Kojic Acid and BHA makes the skin photosensitive. Exposing treated areas (like shoulders) to the Mauritian sun without SPF will cause the dark marks to rebound darker than before.

Maximum safe continuous use is daily for the wash, and 3x weekly for the peel. Exceeding this does NOT produce faster results — it produces barrier damage and inflammation.

Volume: 400ml (Wash) + 280ml (Peel). Recommended amount per use: 1-2 pumps (Wash) / 1 squeeze per area (Peel). Uses per container: approximately 60-80 applications.

At recommended dosage: approximately 60 days (2 months) for the wash, and longer for the peel shot. At common overdosing (2-3x recommended): depletes in approximately 25-30 days. Correct dosage is better for your skin AND extends product life.

Reorder in approximately 2 months. We recommend reordering 2 weeks before estimated depletion for shipping time.

The ultimate targeted body-clearing and brightening shower protocol.

The Medicube Duo clears retention hyperkeratosis and inhibits melanin via BHA and Kojic Acid, functioning in the wash-off phase of your body routine.

AM Body Routine

1. Water Rinse / Gentle Cleanse (If sweaty).
2. Body Moisturizer (To seal hydration).
3. Body SPF 50+ (Mandatory on exposed skin).

PM Body Routine

1. Medicube Body Peel Shot (2x weekly on dry target zones, massage & rinse).
2. Medicube Body Wash (Lather, wait 60s, rinse).
3. Body Moisturizer (Immediately post-shower).

If your body skin is feeling tight or irritated, pause the Peel Shot entirely and only use the Body Wash 2-3x a week, supplementing with a gentle non-active wash on other days.

If you have painful, large cystic body breakouts, spot treat them with hydrocolloid patches post-shower rather than scrubbing them.

Targeted Body Pigment Bundle

• APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Body Lotion 300ML: Apply immediately after the shower. The Glutathione acts synergistically with the Kojic Acid to maximize tyrosinase inhibition and fade dark spots.
• COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch (24ea): Protects large back/chest spots from clothing friction and extracts fluid overnight.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with Medicube Duo, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

If you prefer a gentler body wash without strong chemical exfoliants, but still want brightening benefits, consider the APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Body Wash 300ML. It relies on Niacinamide and Glutathione rather than BHA, making it safer for daily use on sensitive or eczema-prone body skin.

This product's PRIMARY function is: Targeted body exfoliation and pigment fading. You do NOT need this if you already own: an effective BHA (Salicylic Acid) body wash or a reliable physical body scrub that clears your congestion without irritation. Finish your current product before purchasing.

Check your current shelf. Do you have an open product with the same primary active? Skincare products lose efficacy after opening (PAO = 12 months). Buying new while old expires is waste.

Combining with a similar product: No Benefit (same mechanism). Using two different BHA body washes provides zero additional benefit and increases the risk of barrier stripping.

This product is sourced through authorized Korean distributors — primarily Craver Co., Ltd (South Korea), alongside other verified distribution partners.

Quick Verification Tip: Genuine Medicube packaging uses high-quality materials and precise typography. The peel shot should have a very specific, cohesive gommage texture, not a runny liquid consistency.

Medicube is a clinical-grade skincare brand originating from South Korea. Dedicated to real results, their mission is to provide customized, dermatologist-tested solutions that tackle complex skin concerns, from severe acne to deep hyperpigmentation.

The brand's formulation philosophy revolves around "clinical efficacy at home." They rigorously test their products in specialized clinics, ensuring that high concentrations of active ingredients (like Kojic Acid and Niacinamide) remain stable and effectively penetrate the targeted skin layers without unnecessary additives.

One user on Reddit noted that the body wash lathered beautifully and helped significantly reduce the red, bumpy appearance of keratosis pilaris on their arms after just a few weeks of consistent use.

A mixed review on YesStyle highlighted that while the duo left the skin feeling incredibly soft immediately after showering, fading old, stubborn hyperpigmentation on the back took several months and was not an overnight fix.

Some users on K-beauty forums complained that the Peel Shot was difficult to use if their bathroom was too steamy, as the gel requires completely dry skin to effectively pill and remove dead skin cells.

Common Praise: Immediate textural smoothing, effective on body acne, large bottle size.

Common Complaints: Requires completely dry skin for the peel to work, can be drying if lotion is skipped, scent is divisive.

The plastic bottles are generally recyclable; check local Mauritius sorting guidelines for proper disposal. The large pump format is highly practical for shower use.

Can I use this body bundle on my face?

No. The skin on your body is much thicker than the skin on your face. The concentration of surfactants and active acids in these products is too high for facial use and will cause severe irritation.

Will this permanently remove my stretch marks?

No. Stretch marks are deep structural tears in the dermal collagen. While exfoliating can improve the surface texture around them, topical washes cannot rebuild torn collagen.

Can I use this immediately after shaving my legs?

No. Shaving creates thousands of micro-tears in the skin. Applying BHA or Kojic acid immediately after will cause severe stinging and inflammation. Wait at least 24 hours.

Does the Peel Shot contain plastic microbeads?

No. The "rolling" bits you feel are formed by the interaction of the carbomer gel with the oils on your skin and dead skin cells, completely free of harmful microplastics.

Do I still need to use body lotion after?

Yes. Exfoliating removes the top layer of dead skin and some natural lipids. Failing to apply a body lotion immediately after showering will result in moisture loss and dry, ashy skin.

Gommage

A gentle physical exfoliation method where a gel is rubbed onto the skin, balling up and taking dead skin cells with it, avoiding the harsh scratching of physical scrubs.

Keratosis Pilaris

A common, harmless skin condition that causes dry, rough patches and tiny bumps, usually on the upper arms, thighs, or buttocks (often called "strawberry skin").

Tyrosinase Inhibitor

An ingredient that stops the skin from making the enzyme tyrosinase, which is required to produce melanin (the pigment that causes dark spots).

Comedolytic

An ingredient that breaks down the gunk (sebum and dead cells) inside a clogged pore, helping to clear and prevent pimples.

Acid Mantle

The skin's natural protective layer of sweat and oil. It is slightly acidic, which helps keep bad bacteria away and moisture locked in.

PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation)

The flat brown or black marks left behind after a pimple, bug bite, or skin injury has healed.

Surfactant

The cleansing agent in a wash that mixes with water and oil to lift dirt off the skin so it can be rinsed away.

Stratum Corneum

The very top, visible layer of your skin, made of dead, flattened cells that act as a tough barrier against the environment.

Store Policies: For the most up-to-date information, please review our Shipping Policy and Refund Policy.

BEST FOR: Individuals dealing with stubborn body hyperpigmentation, keratosis pilaris (strawberry legs), and persistent back/chest acne who require a targeted chemical exfoliation system.

KEY BENEFITS: Combines chemical (BHA) and physical (gommage) exfoliation to clear follicular blockages, while utilizing Kojic Acid and Niacinamide to effectively fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on the body.

KEEP IN MIND: The strong surfactant system can be drying if a body lotion is not applied immediately post-shower. The peeling shot must be applied to completely dry skin to function properly.

• Week 1-2: Introduce this product alone at low frequency (details in table below). Monitor for stinging, redness, or breakouts.
• Week 3-4: If stable, increase frequency per table below.
• Week 5+: Add one support product only if needed.
• If irritation at any point: 72-hour barrier reset (see Section 33B). Do not copy the full protocol here — refer.

This product must be introduced as the ONLY new active product. Wait 14 days before adding anything else to your body routine.

HARD WATER INTERACTION: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region. Hard water leaves a calcium stearate film after cleansing that causes body skin tightness. The low pH and exfoliating acids in the body wash help counteract this mineral buildup, effectively removing the hard water residue that ordinary soaps leave behind.

SWEAT RESISTANCE & HUMIDITY PERFORMANCE: In the high humidity of the Mauritian summer, sweat mixed with clothing friction easily causes body congestion. The BHA in this wash is highly lipophilic, allowing it to penetrate through the daily accumulation of sweat and sebum to maintain clear pores despite the oppressive heat.

End of Week 2: Any persistent redness or burning? YES → stay at Week 1-2 frequency for 2 more weeks. NO → proceed to Week 3.
