Farm Stay Peeling

A scrub uses abrasive particles that physically grind away the skin surface, which can cause micro-tears if pressed too hard. A peeling gel uses chemical exfoliants (usually fruit enzymes or mild acids) combined with a polymer that rolls dead skin cells off in visible flakes when massaged. The rolling action is mechanical but far gentler because there are no hard particles involved. Farm Stay's range is all peeling gel or peeling toner - no traditional scrubs.

After cleansing, pat skin mostly dry. Apply a small amount (about half a teaspoon) to dry fingertips and spread evenly across the face avoiding the eye area. Massage in gentle circular motions for 30 to 60 seconds until you see small rolls forming. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, then continue with toner and moisturiser. Do not use on broken skin or active lesions.

The Citrus Citron Vitalizing Peeling Gel and the Real Lemon Deep Clear Peeling Gel are the strongest brightening options in the range. Both contain high concentrations of citrus-derived AHAs and vitamin C precursors that inhibit melanin and improve skin tone over consistent use. For lighter daily brightening without a gel format, the Dr. V 8 Solution Collagen Peeling Toner is also effective.

Snail secretion filtrate is rich in hyaluronic acid, glycoproteins, and antimicrobial peptides. In the peeling formula it helps support the skin barrier and speed recovery after exfoliation - useful for skin that tends to feel raw or sensitised after resurfacing. The Escargot Noblesse is the most intensive formula in the Farm Stay lineup, suited to congested or post-blemish skin.

Collagen molecules in topical products cannot penetrate deep enough to replace structural collagen. The hydrolyzed collagen in the Collagen Water formulas acts as a surface humectant - it binds water and leaves skin feeling plump and soft after peeling. The functional result is smooth, moisturised skin rather than long-term firmness, but the immediate feel is noticeably different from non-collagen formulas.

Two to three times a week is the standard recommendation. If you are using other chemical exfoliants (retinoid, AHA/BHA toner), reduce to once or twice a week and space them on alternate evenings to avoid over-exfoliation. Signs you are over-exfoliating: persistent redness, tightness, or increased sensitivity.

The peeling toner (Dr. V 8 Solution) is a lighter, wipe-on exfoliant better suited to alternate-day use and travel. Peeling gels are more effective for deep exfoliation in a dedicated session. A practical approach: use a peeling gel twice a week for thorough resurfacing and the toner on in-between days for maintenance. If you are new to exfoliants, start with the toner.

Yes, always apply SPF the morning after an evening peeling session. Freshly exfoliated skin has a thinner surface layer and is more vulnerable to UV damage. Skip exfoliation on days you expect prolonged sun exposure without adequate SPF protection.

They are among the gentler options in the Farm Stay peeling range. The fatty acids in avocado and coconut oil buffer the exfoliant action and reduce the likelihood of a tight or stripped feeling after use. That said, any exfoliant can irritate very reactive skin - patch test on the jawline first and limit initial sessions to once a week.

No. Using a peeling gel and a retinoid the same evening stacks two forms of skin-cell turnover acceleration, which sharply increases irritation risk. Alternate them on different evenings: peel one night, retinol the next (or skip two nights between). If you experience redness or flaking, space them further apart.

The smaller 100ml size is standard in the Deep Clear gel line (Avocado, Lemon, Coconut, Green Tea). The 180ml size appears in the more intensive formulas - Escargot Noblesse and Collagen Water - where the larger volume reflects that these are designed for fuller application or more frequent use. Both sizes use the same dispense-and-massage method.

Yes. Skinsli sources Farm Stay products directly from authorized Korean distributors. Products arrive in original sealed Korean packaging and carry the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety export certification. No repackaging or reformulation occurs in transit.

The Kiwi All-in-One formula combines the peel step with a toning and brightening action, positioning it as a multi-step replacement rather than a dedicated exfoliant. Kiwi extract is high in vitamin C and AHAs. The large 180ml size and all-in-one pitch make it a value option for users who want to simplify their routine without giving up exfoliation.
