Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel

Start with once a week, then move to twice weekly if your skin feels comfortable. Exfoliating too often can stress your barrier, so consistency matters more than frequency.

Think of it like brushing your teeth — regular, gentle care works better than scrubbing hard once in a while.

1. Start with clean, dry skin.
2. Apply a quarter-sized amount to your face (avoid eye area).
3. Massage gently — you’ll feel the gel begin to roll as it lifts away dead cells.
4. Rinse well and follow with a hydrating step, like Water Elixir or Intense Barrier Cream.
5. Use sunscreen during the day after exfoliating.

You’ll feel smoother skin right after your first use.

Over the next 2–3 weeks, you may notice less dullness, better texture, and a calmer barrier as your skin learns to stay hydrated longer.

Gentle exfoliation trains your skin — not shocks it — into behaving better.

No tingling is a good thing! Tingling usually means irritation, not results.

Sexapeel™ works through enzyme and PHA action, which dissolves the “glue” between dead skin cells — so they roll off easily without heat or sting.

The comfort you feel means your barrier is staying calm while it renews.

“Gommage” (pronounced go-mahj) is a French-Korean method that removes only what your skin is ready to shed.

Unlike scrubs or peels, it doesn’t scrape or burn — it rolls away dullness gently with natural cellulose.

This makes it safe for sensitive skin, dry skin, and anyone using retinoids or acids.

Sexapeel™ uses a 4-part exfoliation system designed to smooth your skin without stripping or stinging.

1. PHAs (like Gluconolactone & Lactobionic Acid)
These gentle acids work on the skin’s surface — not deep inside — to dissolve the “glue” that holds dull, dead skin cells together.

Because their molecules are large, they act slowly and hydrate as they exfoliate. The result: smoother texture and balanced moisture, not redness or flaking.

2. Mandelic Acid (AHA)
This mild alpha hydroxy acid refines uneven tone and helps clear away surface buildup.

Its larger molecular size means it penetrates slowly, reducing the chance of irritation while still brightening dull areas.

3. Carbomers + Natural Cellulose (The “Lift & Roll” Phase)
Here’s the part everyone loves — the visible rolling effect.

Carbomers and plant-based cellulose work together to bind to loosened debris and excess oil on the skin’s surface.

As you gently massage, they form soft, pill-like particles that grab and lift away dead skin cells and leftover product that your cleanser may have missed.

What you see rolling isn’t just the gel — it’s a mix of the product plus the dead skin your face was ready to shed.

It’s like a mini facial polish that only removes what’s loose, leaving healthy skin intact.

4. Botanical Soothers (Aloe Vera, Viola Extract, Moringa & Argan Oils)

These calming ingredients immediately cushion and comfort the barrier as exfoliation happens.

They replace the lipids and moisture that are often lost in traditional peels — so when you rinse, your skin feels soft, hydrated, and calm, not tight or shiny.

In simple terms: Sexapeel™ doesn’t force exfoliation — it coaxes it. It loosens, lifts, and removes dull cells that are already ready to go, while hydrating and replenishing at the same time.

That’s why your skin feels smooth and refreshed right away — without redness, dryness, or the “too clean” feeling that damages the barrier.

Hydrolyzed Collagen and Moringa, Argan & Baobab Oils help keep your barrier soft and flexible while exfoliating.

Traditional peels strip the lipids that protect your skin. Sexapeel™ replenishes them instead — so you get smooth skin and comfort at the same time.

When you massage the gel on dry skin, it forms soft cellulose beads that attach to dead skin cells and lift them away.

What you see rolling isn’t just product — it’s the dull, loose skin your face doesn’t need anymore. It’s the most skin-friendly way to exfoliate because it only removes what’s ready to go.

We’ve seen those comments too — and here’s the real science behind it.

When you massage Sexapeel™ Gommage Peeling Gel onto dry skin, it uses a combination of carbomers and natural cellulose fibers that begin to bind together as you move your fingers.

That’s what creates the soft, rolling texture you see forming.

Those little “pills” are part product, part skin debris.

Here’s what’s actually happening under your fingertips:

• The PHA and Mandelic Acids have already loosened the bonds between dull, dead skin cells.
  
• The carbomers and cellulose then grab onto those loosened cells, along with surface oils, leftover makeup, and environmental debris.
  
• As you continue to massage, the gel begins to “ball up” — gently lifting away what your skin was ready to shed while staying cushioned and barrier-safe.
  

So yes — some of what you see is the product, but it’s also doing its job by binding to what your skin no longer needs.

That’s the controlled exfoliation mechanism that makes Korean gommage technology so special: it exfoliates only what’s loose — never forcing, scratching, or stripping.

When you rinse, you’re left with fresh, silky, comfortable skin that feels clean, not raw — proof that the barrier stayed intact.

Think of it like this:
It’s not a “scam” — it’s smart chemistry.

The rolling action is a visual signal that exfoliation is happening safely and gently, without the irritation or micro-tears common with scrubs and harsh peels.

Yes — but it’s best to give your skin some space between exfoliating and stronger actives.

Sexapeel™ can actually help smooth away the flaking that sometimes happens when you’re using products like retinol or exfoliating acids.

Its gentle PHA and enzyme system lifts only the surface buildup that’s ready to shed, leaving skin soft and even — without disrupting the work those actives are doing underneath.

That said, if your skin has been feeling dry, tight, or easily irritated, it’s worth doing a “reset period.”

Try using only Sexapeel™ as your exfoliant for about 60 days (once or twice a week).

This allows your skin barrier to rebalance while still getting the smooth, bright look you want.

After that, you can slowly reintroduce retinol or acids if your skin feels comfortable again.

You may find you need them less often — or not at all — once your barrier is stronger and behaving better.

In short: Sexapeel™ can clear away flakiness from other actives, but it also stands on its own.

Sometimes your skin just needs less chaos and more consistency to look its best.

Always use SPF to protect your fresh skin.

You can — but it’s formulated specifically for the face and neck, where skin tends to be thinner and more delicate.

If you want to exfoliate larger areas like your arms, legs, or back, try the Sexapeel™ Exfoliation Spray instead.

It uses the same gentle exfoliating technology but in a fine mist that’s easier to apply over bigger sections of skin.

Think of it this way:

• Gommage Gel = precision exfoliation for smaller, delicate areas (face, neck, chest).
  
• Spray = effortless, even exfoliation for body care (arms, legs, shoulders).
  

Both formulas work to smooth, hydrate, and support your skin barrier, just tailored for different parts of the body.

Yes — but go gently.

Sexapeel™ Gommage Peeling Gel was developed specifically for reactive and easily flushed skin that can’t tolerate gritty scrubs or strong acid peels.

It’s fragrance-free, microbead-free, and made in Korea under dermatologist-supervised conditions to ensure comfort and safety.

If you have sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, remember:

Don’t use hard pressure when massaging.

Let the gel do the work — the enzymes, PHAs, and carbomers lift away dull cells on their own.

Too much friction can trigger redness, so keep your touch light and let the texture guide you.

Always patch test first if your skin tends to react easily, and follow with a soothing, hydrating step like Water Elixir or Intense Barrier Cream to lock in calm.

Sexapeel™ is made in Korea, the birthplace of modern gommage technology.

Korean labs specialize in advanced enzyme and PHA exfoliants that smooth and hydrate at the same time — exactly why Sonia chose this manufacturing partner and cosmetic chemists.

Yes — completely cruelty-free, from concept to production.

 It’s formulated as a cosmetic rinse-off product, not a medical peel. Always check with your healthcare provider about your specific routine.

Your barrier is like a brick wall made of skin cells and lipids.

Harsh scrubs can break that wall, causing redness, tightness, or flakes. Sexapeel™ respects that wall.

Its PHAs hydrate as they exfoliate, keeping the “mortar” between your skin cells intact — so your barrier stays calm and strong.

Because most skin problems — dryness, rough texture, even sensitivity — come from overdoing it.

Gentle exfoliation supports healthy turnover, improves absorption of treatments, and reduces buildup without triggering inflammation.

When dead skin builds up, products just sit on top.

By removing that buildup carefully, Sexapeel™ helps your serums and creams actually reach the surface they’re meant to hydrate.

It’s like clearing a path so your skin can drink in the good stuff.

Sonia didn’t set out to create another exfoliant — she created the one she needed.

After decades as an esthetician and professional makeup artist, Sonia worked on thousands of faces — from everyday clients to models, celebrities and brides — and saw the same problem over and over:
red, tight, over-exfoliated skin that makeup couldn’t sit on comfortably.

She understood that problem personally, too.

Sonia lives with rosacea, and ocular rosacea, which make her skin extremely reactive.

Most exfoliants were too harsh — they stripped her skin, caused burning, and left her barrier even weaker.

So, she decided to fix the problem herself.

Working with Korean formulation labs and dermatology consultants, Sonia developed Sexapeel™ Gommage Peeling Gel — a professional-grade exfoliant gentle enough for her own skin, yet effective enough for use under makeup.

Her goal wasn’t “perfect” skin — it was comfortable, cooperative skin that looks healthy with or without makeup.

“I wanted something that would make skin behave — calm, smooth, and balanced — because when your barrier is happy, everything else just works better.” — Sonia Roselli

For years, the beauty industry taught us that “glow” meant scrubbing our skin to the edge of irritation — as if discomfort was proof something was working.

We were told to exfoliate until we tingled, peeled, or “felt the burn.”

And for many of us, that advice broke our skin barriers — leaving us dry, red, and constantly chasing balance that never lasted.

The truth?

Those harsh acids, gritty scrubs, and viral “peel” products often do too much, too fast — stripping away not only dead skin but also the healthy lipids and moisture your skin actually needs to stay calm and strong.

Sexapeel™ Gommage Peeling Gel takes the opposite approach.

It doesn’t rely on force — it relies on finesse.

Using enzyme exfoliation, PHAs (Polyhydroxy Acids), and barrier-replenishing hydrators, it loosens and lifts what your skin is ready to release — nothing more.

No burning. No rawness. No post-peel tightness.

This is what we call clinical-luxury:
smart, science-backed performance that respects your skin instead of punishing it.

“Healthy skin doesn’t need to suffer to look good. It just needs the right kind of care.” — Sonia Roselli

For decades, the beauty industry told us we needed to scrub harder, peel deeper, and tingle more to see results.

But skin isn’t drywall — it’s a living organ with its own rhythm. When you rush it, you break it.

As a makeup artist — and someone who lives with rosacea (a chronic barrier dysfunction) — Sonia has seen what overdoing it really does: redness, tightness, and the endless cycle of “fixing” damage that didn’t need to happen. It's only gotten worse in the age of social media.

Her belief is simple:

Your skin doesn’t need more stimulation. It needs more respect.

Inspired by Japanese and Korean skincare wisdom, Sonia focuses on patience, balance, and protection, not punishment.

That’s why she created Sexapeel™ Gommage Peeling Gel — to prove exfoliation doesn’t have to hurt to work.

You’ll still see smoother texture and softer tone, but without the inflammation spiral.

“Perfect skin doesn’t exist. Peaceful skin does — calm, cooperative skin that finally feels comfortable and looks stunningly gorgeous.” — Sonia Roselli

Give it time — about 2–3 weeks for early changes, and around 6 weeks for your skin to truly rebalance.

Gentle exfoliation works through consistency, not intensity.

Think of good skincare like a healthy diet — you don’t lose ten pounds overnight, and you don’t rebuild a strong barrier in a weekend. It takes repetition, patience, and small, steady wins.

When you start using Sexapeel™, you’re not forcing fast results — you’re retraining your skin to behave normally again: to hold onto hydration, stay calm, and renew itself at a healthy pace.

Healthy skin is the real goal.

Glowing skin is just the by-product of skin that’s finally balanced and hydrated.

The good news? This isn’t complicated skincare. It’s effective, easy, and sustainable. Stick with it, and in about six weeks you’ll start to see what calm, cooperative skin really looks like — and how much better makeup and moisture perform when your barrier is happy.

We keep it simple: if your skin doesn’t respond the way you hoped, you can return any product within 30 days — no questions asked.

Sonia stands behind every formula because she uses them herself.

She created this line to help skin like hers — sensitive, rosacea-prone, and barrier-challenged — finally feel calm, balanced, and beautiful again.
