I personally find gommages sparse in the US market where as they are common place in the Asian skin care world. A gommage is a gentler exfoliator that isn’t quite your typical scrub. It’s not grainy, it’s not sugary but it is none the less considered an exfoliator of sorts. Gommages are commonly known as facial peels. The basic idea is to apply the product onto dry skin and rub it away. The rubbing action helps to rid your skin of dead skin cells. It all my experiences with this type of peel/exfoliator I’m never really sure if it’s doing much for my skin but I will say my skin feels squeaky clean after use.
Rosette Hello Kitty Apple Gommage is a gentle facial peel. It’s scented like crisp apples and makes my feel extra soft after use. It’s a typical gommage in the fact that’s it’s a gel formula. I apply a quarter size amount to my dry face and massage in. As I massage the product begins to break up and pill into small balls (you can see close up action of this effect in my photos below). This is NOT skin just the product “peeling” away. After use my skin feels noticeably softer and squeaky clean.
