Not Known To Be Cruelty Free

I received Cure Aqua Gel Gentle Exfoliator free from Stack Influence and Cure in exchange for my honest review.

I have mature acne-prone combination skin with a very oily Tzone. This product gently exfoliated my sensitive skin without leaving my face feeling irritated or dry. You can see the dead skin flakes in the sink in the photo.

My only complaint is that when I scanned the product's barcode using the Beagle Freedom Project Cruelty Cutter app, it stated that the product is not known to be cruelty free.

Great Exfoliator

This exfoliator is very gentle and does a very good job at removing dead skin cells! I use this about once or twice a week. I bought this because I was really impressed with how popular this product was.

Strips You of Oil, Like You Were Dirty Dishes

I purchased this online through Amazon.ca and years ago I remember trying a product at a trade show and kind of effect it had.

What this product does, is nothing like any other. When you rub it into your skin, it picks up all the oil and dead skin on the surface of your face. With that being said, it has a strong smell of alcohol. So since this product contains alcohol, yes it will also be drying. But if you happen to over produce oils, this product is so fun to use in a satisfying way.

When you apply it to your face the product gums up, so you end up with little lumps and beads of your dried up dead skin and facial oil. It's a great product to use to cleanse your face before the application of other product, such as serums and facial creams.

Some people think that this product is a gimmick, but it gums up more with more oil and less with less oil, so it does in fact strip your skin of oils and dirt and whatever is on your face, I mean it has alcohol in it.

I tried getting the product to gum up on a non oily surface and it doesn't, so yes, it works at least in my little non scientific experiment. Honestly, try it out for yourself. It leaves my face squeaky clean.

This is a Japanese product, so if you buy it in Canada you'll need it to be shipped with a Canadian label if you want to know the ingredients. I removed mine after I read it.

Now that I'm on Accutane, my skin is more sensitive and I need a more gentle exfoliator. This one is perfect! Its water based and super gentle. The key is to use this on COMPLETELY dry skin (face and hands) and watch as little white balls of dead skin form. Then wash it off to reveal smoother skin! I love that it has a pump too! I just wish it was easier to buy in Canada. I ordered mine online

To be quite honest, I'm not completely sure this product works. When you put it on, these little white things come off your face but my face afterwards doesn't feel smooth. It feels the same. Maybe I've been using it wrong but I've had this for 5 months now and it hasn't really done a good job.

this is great, works amazingly and left my skin feeling so clean and soft

I love this stuff when I want a more gentle exfoliation on my face. I don't use it all of t he time due to the price and how hard it was find over here in Toronto. I found mine at Pacific Mall but boy, was it ever a tear jerker.

It works well to get the dead skin cells off and it feels very gentle. It does have a bit of a chemically kind of smell but it's not overwhelming. The consistency is liquidy, so at first, I wasn't sure if it was working. But after using it a few more times, I could see that it was.

My skin absorbed my moisturizer and serums better. I will purchase this again but I am definitely going to use it a lot more sparingly.

I have REALLY sensitive skin so I'm really happy to have my hands on this product! Do not underestimate this product just because it's water-based! On their website, it says "Cure has created a record-breaking, 1 bottle sold every 20 seconds." Because it's water-based, you let it rest on your skin for around 3 seconds and then gently massage. When I first tried this exfoliator, I can tell that my skin looks as if it glows and next morning, my skin feels incredibly soft!
