Immediate Results:

- Dead skin cells visibly lifted away, providing a clean, refreshed feeling.

Packaging

Design:
- Simple and functional packaging with a pump dispenser.
- NOTE: The packaging has recently been changed to an easier to squeeze tube, I will still review the pump dispenser because I didn’t try the other one yet.

Functionality:
- The pump is easy to use initially, but between uses, the cream can dry in the pump hole and clog it, making it harder to dispense. Additionally, when the bottle is nearly empty, the pump struggles to extract the remaining product (I think this is why they changed the package, it looks like they are listening to the costumers).

Overall rating

- The e.l.f. Gentle Peeling Exfoliant is a great addition to any skincare routine for those looking for a gentle yet effective exfoliant. Its combination of natural ingredients and affordable price point makes it accessible for a wide range of users. While it may not be ideal for those requiring more intensive exfoliation, it excels in providing a gentle, brightening effect and what I really like is that it leaves the skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
