The Face Shop Peeling

The Smart Peeling Papaya comes in two versions: the standard Papaya Peeling (150ml) and the Mild Papaya Peeling (150ml). Papaya extract contains papain, an enzyme that breaks down dead skin cells and excess keratin on the surface. Both products use this enzymatic approach to exfoliation rather than abrasive scrub particles.

The standard version provides a more active exfoliation session suitable for normal to oily skin with visible texture, dullness, or congestion. The Mild version uses a lower enzyme concentration and is suited to sensitive or drier skin that needs exfoliation but reacts to standard enzyme peels. Start with the Mild if you are new to enzymatic peeling or if your skin is reactive, then move to the standard version if the Mild does not deliver enough result.

The Smart Peeling White Jewel (120ml) uses a different exfoliation approach from the Papaya version. The "White Jewel" name indicates a brightening focus alongside the exfoliation, with the peeling action helping remove the dull layer that uneven skin tone tends to sit in. The 120ml size is smaller than the Papaya versions, making it better suited to the face area specifically rather than extended use on the neck or chest.

The White Jewel formula appears in three nearly identical listings in the assortment (Smart Peeling White Jewel 120ml, Smart Peeling White Jewel 120ml variant, and THE FACE SHOP: Smart Peeling White Jewel 120ml), which likely reflect different packaging versions or regional releases of the same formula. All are 120ml with the same formulation intent.

The Dr. Bellmer Aminoclear Peeling Gel (130ml) takes a different approach from the Smart Peeling line. Peeling gels use a mechanism where the gel is massaged over dry or damp skin and then rolls off, carrying dead skin cells with it. The Aminoclear name indicates the formula uses amino acids, which are gentle exfoliants that address cell turnover without the harshness of AHA acids or the enzyme activity of papain.

The gel format is well suited to sensitive skin that finds scrubs or enzyme peels too active, and to people who prefer a non-acidic exfoliant. It is applied to clean, dry skin, massaged in circular motions until the gel begins to ball up with dead skin cells, and then rinsed off. Use once or twice per week rather than daily.

The Peeling When Supple body exfoliant is available in 300ml and 500ml sizes. The name describes the application method: it is designed to be used when the skin is supple (softened by water in the shower), at which point the scrubbing action is more effective and less likely to irritate. The 500ml is the better value for regular full-body use; the 300ml suits lighter use or a trial purchase.

Use the product in the shower after the skin has been exposed to water for a few minutes. Apply a generous amount, massage in circular motions, then rinse off thoroughly. The product addresses rough patches, keratosis pilaris-type texture, and general body dullness. Using a loofah or exfoliating cloth alongside the product amplifies the physical scrub effect.

The Yehwadam Silk Body Peeling (300ml) is the premium body scrub in this collection, positioned within THE FACE SHOP's Yehwadam line. The Yehwadam sub-brand uses fermented Korean botanical ingredients, so this body peeling incorporates them alongside the physical exfoliation function. The "Silk" descriptor indicates a smoother, more refined texture compared to a standard gritty scrub.

Use it in the shower on softened skin, focusing on rough areas like elbows, knees, and the backs of arms. Because the Yehwadam Silk Body Peeling is the most premium product in the body scrub range here, it is well-suited to special occasions or as a weekly body care step when the standard Peeling When Supple is used more frequently.

The Smile Foot Peeling Cream (120ml) is a dedicated exfoliant for the feet. Foot skin is thicker and more calloused than face or body skin and requires a stronger exfoliating action. The cream format is applied to the feet, massaged into dry or rough areas like the heel and ball, and then rinsed. Regular use softens calluses and reduces the rough, cracked heel texture that accumulates with footwear friction.

Use the foot peeling cream two to three times per week, or daily on very rough feet until the texture improves and then less frequently for maintenance. Pair it with a foot lotion or cream applied after drying to seal in moisture and extend the softening effect. The 120ml provides several weeks of regular use.

Face peeling products should not be used daily. For enzyme peels like the Smart Peeling Papaya, two to three times per week is appropriate for most skin types. For the Dr. Bellmer Aminoclear Gel, once or twice per week is sufficient. Over-exfoliating strips the skin barrier and can lead to sensitivity, redness, and increased reactivity.

Normal to oily skin handles the standard Smart Peeling Papaya and White Jewel at full frequency without issue. Dry skin types should use the Mild Papaya once or twice per week and monitor for tightness or flaking. Sensitive or reactive skin is best served by the Aminoclear Gel at once-per-week frequency, and should patch-test before using any enzyme peel. Do not use peeling products immediately before sun exposure; exfoliated skin is more susceptible to UV damage.
