This is really interesting. I have pale, sensitive, dry skin so I was skeptical to try it at first. The packaging does state it is a mild product. You are to put it on a freshly cleansee, dry face, rub it over the surface and rinse with water. Within seconds of applicating product I have dead skin cells coming off on my hands! I am very impressed how fast acting it is, my skin feels nice and smooth after rinsing. The biggest benefit is I had no irritation.
