SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Mild Peeling Gel 125ml

Values: 100% Genuine* · Cruelty-Free (PETA-listed)* · Vegan-Friendly (PETA-listed)*

*100% Genuine is Adilsons' own sourcing policy, not a brand claim. The Cruelty-Free and Vegan-Friendly listings were verified directly against PETA's own "Beauty Without Bunnies" database for the SKIN1004 brand as a whole — see the Conscious and Permissible Formulation section below for the full footnote, including the Mainland China retail caveat.

We could not verify FA-Safe, Pregnancy-Safe, Halal-Friendly, Fragrance-Free, or Wudu-Compatible status for this specific product this run — the brand has not published a full ingredient list for it, and self-assessing any of those claims without one would be exactly the kind of unverified badge this page is built to avoid. None of those badges are shown above for that reason, not because the product has failed any check.

If you deal with visible blackheads, a rough or bumpy T-zone, or the feeling that your regular cleanser "isn't getting everything," this product is built for that specific frustration rather than for general dryness or fine lines. It is not a daily-use product, and it will not fix acne on its own.

Pros: Names a recognizable BHA-family pairing (Salicylic Acid + Capryloyl Salicylic Acid) for pore-targeted exfoliation; includes Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin and Panthenol specifically to offset the exfoliation; rinses off rather than sitting on skin all day; sits in a well-known, well-stocked Adilsons routine (see pairings below).

Caveats: No full INCI list, concentration, or pH is publicly available for this exact product — several safety calls below are therefore flagged as unconfirmed rather than cleared; the exact packaging format could not be independently verified this run; no independent customer reviews for this specific SKU were found.

Classification: RED (not recommended under 16). Salicylic Acid and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid are both BHA-family chemical exfoliants that work by dissolving the keratin "glue" holding dead skin cells and sebaceous debris together inside the pore lining — a process tied to fully active sebaceous glands, which prepubescent and early-teen skin generally has not developed to adult levels yet.

Because the brand has not disclosed the concentration, we cannot say this is a "mild" product for young skin just because it is marketed as a "Mild Peeling Gel" — that is a marketing descriptor, not a measured strength.

Safe alternatives we carry: for teenage or first-time users, start with SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam (a pH-5 cleanser with no exfoliating acids) and SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule 55ml (a fragrance-free, seven-ingredient soothing serum) — both verified active in our catalog and free of the named exfoliating actives.

Step 1 — When: PM only, 1-2x per week to start (see the AM restriction and Weekly Planner below).

Step 2 — How much: A dime-to-quarter-size amount is typical for peeling gels of this type on the full face; the brand's own packaging is the precise source for this exact product, since no per-use dosage figure was published in the marketing copy we could access this run.

Step 3 — How: Massage gently onto dry or lightly damp skin in small circles until you feel light rolling residue, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

AM restriction: We recommend keeping this product to PM use. Chemical exfoliants including BHAs can leave freshly exposed skin more reactive to UV for the following hours, and an AM slot competes with the sun protection step that matters most in Mauritius daylight.

A typical AM sequence with no active exfoliation step: 1) Gentle cleanse or rinse only, 2) Hydrating toner, 3) Soothing serum, 4) Moisturizer, 5) Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable). In humid Mauritius mornings, humectants like Hyaluronic Acid draw water from the humid air itself rather than from your deeper skin layers, so a light hydrating layer performs well before your sunscreen.

SPF mandate: Because this product is a chemical exfoliant, daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is mandatory on every day you use it and for the following 24-48 hours, regardless of whether you apply it AM or PM.

1) Double cleanse if wearing sunscreen/makeup, 2) Pat skin to lightly damp or dry, 3) Apply SKIN1004 Tea-Trica Mild Peeling Gel, massage, rinse thoroughly, 4) Pat dry, 5) Soothing toner or serum, 6) Moisturizer.

Skin cycling integration: This product occupies the Exfoliation lane. In a 4-night cycle: Night 1 = this peeling gel, Night 2 = Retinoid (if you use one), Nights 3-4 = Recovery (barrier/hydration only, no actives).

Technique: Massage in small circles rather than long dragging strokes — friction beyond a gentle massage increases irritation without improving exfoliation. This product is categorized by Adilsons as a Peel-Off Mask type, consistent with a massage-then-rinse gommage step rather than a leave-on treatment.

Required skin state: Dry or lightly damp skin, per typical peeling-gel technique — damp skin can reduce the rolling/gommage sensation the product is designed to produce.

Wait time: Rinse off once you feel light rolling residue forming, generally within 1-2 minutes of massaging; do not extend this chasing a stronger effect (see Common Mistakes below).

Hands deliver 100% of product; cotton pads absorb approximately 30-40%. Use clean hands for the massage step of this product.

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 to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals.
• Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s, serum layers 30-60s, before sunscreen 10-15 minutes if going outdoors or applying makeup.
• Amount defaults: watery toner/essence 5-8 drops per layer; serum/ampoule 2-3 drops or 1 pump; eye product ½ rice-grain per eye; gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas; occlusive seal rice-grain to pea-size max; sunscreen 2-finger rule for face, +1 finger for neck.
• Skin state rules: hydrators perform best on slightly damp skin; retinoids on fully dry skin; exfoliating acids on dry or lightly damp skin, kept to one lane.
• Hard cap rule: if the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

AM Maximum Stack: 1) Rinse/Gentle Cleanse (optional), 2) pH-Prep/Balancing Toner (optional), 3) Hydrating Toner Layers (1-3, optional), 4) Essence (optional — choose toner layering or essence, not both if you pill easily), 5) Mist/Thermal Water (optional), 6) Booster/Soothing Serum (optional), 7) Antioxidant Lane (optional, choose one), 8) Pigment Support Lane (optional, choose one), 9) Hydration Serum Lane (optional), 10) Oil-Control/Sebum-Regulating Lane (optional, choose one), 11) Peptides/Growth-Factor/Repair Lane (optional), 12) Eye Serum/Cream (optional), 13) Moisturizer, 14) Optional Sealing Layer (only if dry/AC), 15) Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable), 16) Lip SPF (optional but ideal). In AM, prioritize comfort and SPF adherence over stacking — in high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM Maximum Stack: 1) Micellar (optional pre-cleanse), 2) Oil Cleanser/Balm (if SPF/makeup), 3) Water Cleanser (second cleanse), 4) pH-Prep Toner (optional), 5) Hydrating Toner Layers (optional), 6) Essence (optional), 7) Soothing/Barrier Serum (optional), 8) [Anchor: this peeling gel] — used on its scheduled nights only, massaged and rinsed, 9) Targeted Serum (optional, only if not conflicting), 10) Moisturizer, 11) Sleeping Mask (optional), 12) Occlusive Seal (optional, avoid if clog-prone), 13) Spot Treatment/Pimple Patch (as needed), 14) Lip Sleeping Mask (optional). Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep "one lane" per night.

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

This product sits at the gel tier and is used as its own standalone, rinse-off exfoliation step rather than layered among your leave-on serums. It occupies the same slot cleansers do in your routine order — apply after any initial cleanse, before your leave-on toner/serum/moisturizer stack.

Phase compatibility: water-phase gel, rinsed away in full before any subsequent product is applied, so there is no direct layering conflict with what comes after it — only a timing conflict with same-night actives (covered in the Conflict Solver below).

Rest days: Because the exact acid concentration is not publicly disclosed, start at once weekly for the first two weeks and only move to twice weekly if your skin shows zero stinging, redness, or peeling beyond the intended surface effect.

Exceeding a safe frequency does NOT produce faster results — it produces barrier damage. If in doubt, stay at once weekly indefinitely; that is a legitimate long-term maintenance frequency for this category of product.

Purging vs. reaction: Purging occurs in your usual breakout areas, stays surface-level, and resolves within 4-6 weeks as turnover accelerates. A true reaction shows up in NEW areas, involves burning, swelling, or hives, and worsens rather than improves — stop immediately if you see the latter.

Before starting this product, your routine MUST already include a daily broad-spectrum sunscreen and a plain, fragrance-conservative moisturizer. Without these foundations, an exfoliating step causes more harm than benefit.

Barrier index gate: If your skin stings on moisturizer, feels tight within 30 minutes of cleansing, or shows visible flaking, your barrier is below threshold. Start with SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Enrich Cream (verified active in our catalog) for barrier repair before introducing this exfoliant.

Blackheads and whiteheads: Salicylic Acid and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid are lipophilic, meaning they can move into the oily lining of the pore itself and help dissolve the keratin plug that forms a blackhead or whitehead, rather than only working on the skin's surface.

Rough texture and dead skin buildup: Gluconolactone (a PHA) and Succinic Acid work at the surface to loosen the bonds between dead skin cells, generally with less irritation potential than smaller-molecule AHAs like glycolic acid.

What this product cannot do: It cannot physically shrink pore size (pores are a fixed anatomical structure; exfoliation only reduces the visible debris inside them), cannot cure active cystic or hormonal acne on its own, and cannot substitute for a dermatologist's care if you have persistent inflammatory acne.

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

• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam — a pH-5 gentle cleanser to prep skin before this peeling step without stripping the acid mantle first. Use AM and PM daily; use before this product on peeling-gel nights.
• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule 55ml — a fragrance-free, seven-ingredient soothing serum to calm skin immediately after rinsing this gel off. Use PM, on peeling-gel nights and otherwise.
• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream — seals in hydration after exfoliation, when skin is most prone to transepidermal water loss. Use AM and PM.
• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ — mandatory daily SPF while using any exfoliating acid. Use AM only.

Pilling pairs: This product is rinsed off before your leave-on steps, so it does not itself cause pilling with them. Pilling risk instead comes from stacking too many leave-on layers afterward — see Pilling Risk and Texture Mechanics below.

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

Universal rules: Run only one primary active lane per routine (Retinoid OR Acid Exfoliation OR L-Ascorbic Acid Vitamin C OR Benzoyl Peroxide OR strong acne lane). If you break a rule, reduce frequency, split AM/PM, or alternate nights rather than pushing through. If moisturizer stings or skin feels tight within 30 minutes of cleansing, pause all actives and run barrier-only for 3-7 days.

× Retinoids (Retinol/Retinal/Tretinoin/Adapalene): Avoid using this peeling gel the same night as a retinoid for most people. Instead, use Skin Cycling (Night 1 this peeling gel, Night 2 retinoid, Nights 3-4 recovery) or alternate nights entirely.

× Other AHA/BHA exfoliants or physical scrubs: Do not stack a separate strong exfoliant or a physical scrub on the same day as this product — that combination raises over-exfoliation risk without added benefit. Instead, alternate days, or pick one exfoliation method as your primary and drop the other.

× Peptides (especially copper peptides): Avoid layering peptide serums immediately after this product, since the low pH of freshly-exfoliated skin can destabilize peptide bonds. Instead, use peptides on non-exfoliation nights, or wait at least 20 minutes after rinsing before applying them.

Duplicate actives: Don't stack this product with another strong acid product doing the same job. Instead, pick this as your primary weekly exfoliation step and use any other acid product on alternate weeks only.

Scheduling templates:

Template A — AM/PM Split: AM: antioxidant lane (if used) → moisturizer → SPF. PM: this peeling gel on its scheduled night → moisturizer.

Template B — 4-Night Skin Cycling: Night 1: this peeling gel. Night 2: Retinoid. Nights 3-4: Recovery (no actives).

Template C — Alternate-Night Protocol: Mon/Wed/Fri: Retinoid. Tue/Sat: this peeling gel. Thu/Sun: Recovery.

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

Pre-period breakouts happen because progesterone causes the pore lining to physically swell, narrowing the opening and trapping sebum beneath — this product's BHA-family actives are specifically suited to that narrowed-pore mechanism, but late luteal skin is also more reactive, so don't increase frequency during this window even if breakouts feel worse.

MYTH: "The little rolling bits that come off during a peeling gel massage prove it's pulling out deep dirt." REALITY: That rolling texture ("gommage") is typically a mix of loosened surface skin cells and gel polymer reforming under friction — it is a normal physical effect of certain peeling-gel formulas, not a visible measure of how "dirty" your skin was.

MYTH: "More rubbing means more exfoliation." REALITY: Extending the massage time or pressing harder increases micro-tearing and irritation risk without dissolving more debris — the chemical actives do the actual work over about 1-2 minutes of contact, not the mechanical friction.

DIY risk: Some people try to boost the effect by combining this with a separate physical scrub the same session. That combination compounds friction on top of chemical exfoliation and is a common route to visible over-exfoliation.

Hard water note: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region; rinsing an exfoliating gel off with hard water can leave a calcium-stearate film that compounds the tightness this product's post-exfoliation, so follow with a pH-adjusting, hydrating toner rather than skipping straight to moisturizer.

*Emerging: the underlying mechanism is plausible and consistent with the ingredient class, but we did not find product-specific concentration or clinical data to grade it Strong for this exact formula.

Full INCI list: Full ingredient list not publicly disclosed by the brand at the time of writing. The names above (plus Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, Panthenol, and marketing terms "Tea Tree Leaf" and "Cellulose") come from this product's own retail marketing copy, not from an independently verified, ordered INCI list — a real gel formula also contains a base/vehicle (water, thickeners, preservatives, pH adjusters) that is not named anywhere we could access, so this list should not be treated as complete.

pH: Not publicly disclosed. We could not calculate a Free Acid Value or exfoliation-strength estimate without it.

Preservative system: Not disclosed — full INCI unavailable.

Fragrance status: Not confirmed Fragrance-Free.* No explicit "Parfum"/"Fragrance" INCI entry could be checked either way without the full ingredient list, and "Tea Tree Leaf" itself could plausibly be present in an aromatic form.

*Based on brand-declared marketing copy only, not a full INCI. The term "Fragrance" or "Parfum," if present in the real ingredient list, may contain undisclosed allergens. Patch test advised for sensitive individuals.

EU 26 allergen screen: Cannot be assessed without the full INCI — not confirmed either present or absent this run.

Aspirin/salicylate sensitivity: If you have a known sensitivity or allergy to aspirin or other salicylates, be cautious with this product — Salicylic Acid is chemically related and topical use has been reported to trigger reactions in salicylate-sensitive individuals, even though absorption through intact skin is generally low.

Prescription retinoids/isotretinoin: If you are currently using prescription tretinoin, adapalene, or isotretinoin, consult your dermatologist before combining this exfoliating product with your prescription regimen — see the Conflict Solver above.

Halal: Cannot be assessed this run. A Halal self-assessment requires the full ingredient list, which the brand has not publicly disclosed for this product; SKIN1004 also has no brand-wide formal Halal certification on file.

Vegan and Cruelty-Free: SKIN1004 is listed on PETA's public cruelty-free/vegan database (Beauty Without Bunnies), which we verified directly against the certifier's own published listing — this is a real third-party certification, not a self-assessment, covering both cruelty-free and vegan status brand-wide.*

*Brand states cruelty-free and is listed as such, but sells products in Mainland China where post-market animal testing may be required by law. Cross-border e-commerce sales may be exempt; which sales channel applies to any given Adilsons SKU has not been confirmed.

Microplastic status: Not confirmed microplastic-free. "Cellulose" is named as part of the product's "double peeling effect" and is plausibly a plant-derived, biodegradable exfoliating particle common in Korean peeling gels, but the exact INCI form and particle composition was not confirmed this run.

MFDS Classification: Not confirmed. Korea's MFDS "Functional Cosmetic" categories don't include general exfoliation as their own category, so a General Cosmetic classification is plausible on its face, but since this product's Salicylic Acid concentration is undisclosed, we cannot rule out a Functional acne-related registration either.

Clinical evidence: No product-specific clinical study, sample size, or testing institute was found for this exact SKU. The brand's own claim — "Passed skin irritation test, suitable for all skin types" — names no institute, sample size, methodology, or date.*

*Brand claims a skin irritation test was passed, but no publicly available study data, sample size, or testing protocol has been disclosed.

Evidence confidence: Marketing-Only.*

*This assessment reflects the current lack of independently verifiable concentration, pH, or clinical data for this exact product, not a judgment that the ingredients themselves are ineffective.

Fungal Acne Safety: Not confirmed. A real Malassezia-feeding-ingredient cross-check requires the full ordered INCI, which is unavailable for this product; none of SKIN1004's previously observed FA-conditional emulsifiers (Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Hydrogenated Lecithin) appear among this product's named actives, but their absence from marketing copy is not evidence of their absence from the undisclosed base formula.

Assessment: Low, specifically for interaction with your other products — this gel is rinsed off completely before you apply anything else, so it does not contribute to pilling under your moisturizer or sunscreen.

The rolling "gommage" sensation during the massage step itself is an intended part of using this product, not a sign of incompatibility with a previous layer — don't confuse the two.

Store away from direct bathroom heat and humidity where possible — Mauritius bathroom humidity can accelerate degradation of pH-dependent acid formulas faster than a cooler storage spot like a bedroom drawer.

Spoilage signs: a sharp change in color, a rancid or off smell, or visible separation that doesn't remix are all reasons to discard rather than continue using. When in doubt, discard.

Patch test: Apply a small amount to your inner forearm, wait 24 hours, then test behind your ear for another 24 hours before your first facial use.

72-hour barrier reset: If you have an adverse reaction, stop all actives. For 72 hours, use ONLY a gentle cleanser and plain moisturizer, plus mineral SPF. No acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72 hours, reintroduce one product per 14 days.

Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty warrant seeking emergency care, not just discontinuing use.

Pregnancy consideration: Because the Salicylic Acid concentration in this product is undisclosed, we cannot confirm it is pregnancy-safe. If pregnant or nursing, consider SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam and SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule 55ml instead — both are verified active in our catalog and neither names an exfoliating acid, though neither has been independently confirmed pregnancy-safe either; discuss any active skincare with your doctor during pregnancy.

Top mistakes with this product: using it daily instead of weekly; massaging longer or harder chasing more "rolling" texture; skipping sunscreen the day after use; combining it the same night with a retinoid or a separate strong acid; applying it straight to actively inflamed, broken lesions.

Overuse threshold: More than twice weekly, for most users, risks visible over-exfoliation (tightness, flaking, increased sensitivity) without added benefit.

Usage math: At an estimated dime-to-quarter-size amount per use and a once-to-twice-weekly frequency, a 125ml container of this gel type would reasonably be expected to last several months — this is a category-typical estimate, not a brand-confirmed figure, since no exact per-use volume is published for this product.

Reorder timing: Because exact usage math is an estimate, check your remaining product visually around the 8-10 week mark if using weekly, and consider reordering about 2 weeks before you expect to run out to allow for shipping time.

This product's job is a once-or-twice-weekly deep exfoliation step for blackheads, whiteheads, and rough texture — everything else in your routine should support skin before and after that step, not compete with it.

Compact routine: AM — gentle cleanse (skip on non-shower mornings) → hydrating toner → moisturizer → SPF50+. PM on peeling-gel nights — cleanse → this peeling gel, massage, rinse → soothing serum → moisturizer. PM on other nights — cleanse → toner → serum/retinoid → moisturizer.

If your skin is barrier-compromised right now: pause this product entirely and use SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Enrich Cream nightly until stinging and tightness resolve.

If you are in the late luteal phase and breaking out more: keep your established frequency rather than adding an extra session — see Hormonal Cycle Synchronization above.

If you are heading outdoors after a morning shower: skip this product for AM use entirely and rely on your sunscreen; save this for PM only, as recommended.

Stock-true bundle — Exfoliation + Barrier Support: this peeling gel, SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule 55ml, SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream, and SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ — use the peeling gel on schedule, the ampoule and cream daily, and the sunscreen every morning without exception.

Stock-true bundle — Post-Blemish Support: this peeling gel plus SKIN1004 Spot Cover Patch and SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule (4% Niacinamide, 2% Tranexamic Acid) — use the patch overnight on active blemishes and the brightening ampoule on non-exfoliation nights to fade marks left behind once the blemish has healed.

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

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with this product, 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.

We checked our live catalog for a comparable dedicated peeling gel, BHA toner, or exfoliating pad at a different strength or texture. We do not currently carry a dedicated alternative exfoliating peel — this category is under sourcing review, and this product is presently our sole option in this specific format.

This product's PRIMARY function is: dissolving pore-clogging debris and dead skin buildup via BHA-family chemical exfoliation plus a mild physical "gommage" texture. You do NOT need this if you already own another BHA exfoliant, chemical peel, or exfoliating scrub you use weekly — finish that product first.

Inventory audit: Check for any open exfoliating acid product before buying this one; running two different exfoliants "just in case" is a common way over-exfoliation happens by accident.

Stacking assessment: No Benefit if you already run a separate BHA/AHA exfoliant weekly (same mechanism, redundant); Significant Benefit if your current routine has no chemical exfoliation step at all.

For comprehensive information about how we verify authenticity, our layered verification system, and how to check your product at home, visit our dedicated Authenticity and Trust page.

Quick verification tips: Check the batch code printed on your unit against CheckFresh to confirm a plausible manufacture date; the front label should read matte white rather than glossy or greyish. We could not independently inspect this specific SKU's packaging photos this run, so we can't offer more format-specific tips (tube seal vs. pump click, for example) beyond the general brand-wide markers above — see the Authenticity page for the full system.

SKIN1004 built its identity around Centella Asiatica extract sourced specifically from Madagascar as a shared base ingredient across most of its catalog, positioning itself as a minimalist, ingredient-transparent brand rather than a trend-chasing one. It's worth noting plainly: this particular SKU's own marketing copy does not explicitly name Centella Asiatica among its listed actives despite carrying "Madagascar Centella" in the product title, and we could not confirm where or whether it appears in this specific formula without a full INCI list. The brand's "Lab in Nature" sub-line extends this same Centella base into more clinically-positioned actives like retinol, niacinamide, and azelaic acid for customers who want that base plus a specific active.

Community reviews for this specific product were not yet available in our research at the time of writing. This is a straightforward "not yet researched" gap rather than a negative signal about the product — a genuine review search (Reddit r/AsianBeauty, r/SkincareAddiction, Amazon, YesStyle, Olive Young Global) is planned for a future update to this page.

We could not independently confirm this SKU's exact primary packaging format (tube vs. pump bottle) this run — the product photography on this listing could not be inspected. Check the product image on this page for the current packaging style, and check for a batch code on the packaging itself if you want to verify it via CheckFresh.

Sustainability: Rinse any residue from the container before recycling and check the resin-identification number molded into the plastic against your local recycling guidance; the brand has not published refillable-packaging options for this product.

These are the most common questions shoppers ask about products in this category; we could not run a live "People Also Ask" search for this exact SKU this session, so answers below are built from the verified facts on this page rather than sourced quotes.

Do I leave this on or rinse it off? Rinse it off. It is categorized by Adilsons as a Peel-Off Mask-type product, consistent with a short massage followed by a full rinse, not a leave-on treatment.

Will this get rid of my blackheads permanently? No. It can reduce visible congestion with regular, correctly-spaced use, but blackheads reform as sebum and dead skin continue to be produced — this is a maintenance step, not a one-time fix.

Can I use this every day? No. Start at once weekly and reassess after two weeks; daily use of a chemical exfoliant like this risks over-exfoliation and barrier damage.

Is this safe during pregnancy? We cannot confirm that. The Salicylic Acid concentration is not publicly disclosed, so we recommend checking with your doctor rather than assuming it is safe.

What's the difference between this and a plain physical scrub? This product combines chemical exfoliants (Salicylic Acid, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, Gluconolactone, Succinic Acid) with a mild physical "gommage" texture, rather than relying on gritty particles alone — the chemical actives do most of the actual debris-dissolving work.

BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid)

An oil-soluble acid, like Salicylic Acid, that can penetrate into oily pores to dissolve debris from the inside.

PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid)

A larger-molecule acid, like Gluconolactone, that exfoliates the skin's surface with generally gentler irritation potential than smaller AHAs.

Gommage

A peeling-gel technique where massaging the product on skin produces small rolling residue, then it's rinsed away.

Acid Mantle

The skin's naturally slightly acidic (pH 4.5-5.5) surface layer that protects against bacteria and moisture loss.

Purging

A temporary increase in breakouts in your usual problem areas as an active speeds up skin turnover — different from an allergic reaction.

Barrier

The skin's outermost protective layer; when damaged, it stings, feels tight, and loses moisture faster than normal.

MFDS

South Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, which regulates cosmetics and classifies some as "Functional" if they meet specific tested criteria.

Fairy Dusting

Marketing a trace amount of an ingredient prominently on packaging even though it's present at too low a concentration to have a real effect.

Free Acid Value

The percentage of an acid that is actually "active" at a given pH, which determines real-world exfoliating strength more than the label percentage alone.

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

Best for: Someone with oily-to-combination skin, visible blackheads/whiteheads, and rough T-zone texture who already has a consistent SPF habit and wants a once-or-twice-weekly rinse-off exfoliation step rather than a leave-on acid.

Key benefits: Combines a recognized BHA pairing with a gentler PHA and rinses off completely; includes Hyaluronic Acid, Allantoin, and Panthenol specifically to offset the exfoliation; fits cleanly into an existing SKIN1004 Centella routine we stock in depth.

Keep in mind: No concentration, pH, or full INCI is publicly available for this exact product, so several safety calls above are flagged as unconfirmed rather than cleared; it is not suitable for pregnancy without medical advice, and it is not recommended under age 16.

Assessment: Not Suitable for most people undergoing active cancer treatment. This is a chemical exfoliant, and treatment-sensitized skin is generally advised to avoid active exfoliation; separately, this product's fragrance-free status is not confirmed.

Consult your oncology care team before introducing any new skincare products during treatment.

Quick version:

• Week 1-2 — use once, alone, and monitor for 48 hours before deciding on your next use.
• Week 3-4 — if stable, settle into once-weekly or, if fully tolerant, twice-weekly.
• Week 5+ — only add one additional support product (like a soothing serum) if you still feel the need.
• If irritation appears at any point, run the 72-Hour Barrier Reset described above rather than repeating a new schedule here.

This product must be introduced as the ONLY new product. Wait 14 days before adding anything else.
