Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel is formulated specifically for the face. It uses Mandelic Acid and PHAs for gentle, targeted facial exfoliation and is completely fragrance-free.

Sexapeel Sprayis designed for both face and body, uses Glycolic Acid for broader coverage, and contains fruit extracts that may have a light natural scent.

If you have very sensitive facial skin, the Gel is the better choice.

A PHA-based gommage like Sexapeel is one of the safest and most effective options. PHAs (polyhydroxy acids) have larger molecules than traditional AHAs like glycolic acid, so they exfoliate the surface layer of dead cells without penetrating deep enough to trigger irritation.

Combined with the gommage technique , which lifts dead cells through gentle massage rather than dissolving them with concentrated acid, it's the gentlest approach to effective resurfacing available.

It's both working together. The gel is designed to solidify as it bonds with dead skin cells, oils, and debris on the surface. The clumps are the vehicle that carries that buildup off your face, revealing smoother, fresher skin underneath. This is how gommage exfoliation has worked for decades.

Yes. Sexapeel was formulated specifically for rosacea-prone and reactive skin. The PHAs used in this formula are larger molecules that exfoliate the surface without penetrating deeply enough to trigger inflammation. There are no harsh physical scrub particles and no high-concentration acids.

Start with once a week and see how your skin responds.

Yes, but not on the same night. Retinol accelerates cell turnover from within; Sexapeel removes dead cells from the surface. Use Sexapeel on your "off" nights to clear away the cells that retinol is helping to turn over.

A good schedule: Sexapeel 1–2 times per week, retinol on alternate nights.

Chemical peels use concentrated acids to dissolve skin cells at a deeper level, which can cause redness, visible peeling, and downtime.

Sexapeel uses PHAs and fruit enzymes to gently lift dead cells from the outermost layer only. There's no downtime, no visible peeling, and no recovery period.

You can apply makeup immediately after.

No. Unlike most exfoliators, Sexapeel contains Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane, and Moringa Oil, which hydrate and protect the skin during the exfoliation process.

Your skin should feel softer and more hydrated after use — not tight or stripped.

That's exactly what Sexapeel is designed for. Professional-grade results at home. Apply to clean, dry skin, massage for 30–60 seconds, and rinse.

The entire process takes under two minutes. Use 1–2 times per week and always follow with sunscreen.

• Texture: Lightweight gel that glides easily and transforms as you massage — turning cloudy as dead cells lift away.
• Sensation: Cooling, refreshing, cushiony — no sting or burn.
• Finish: Silky, hydrated, balanced — not tight or dry.

Frequency: 1–2× per week on dry skin. Massage, rinse, follow with Water Elixir and Intense Barrier Cream.

1–2 times per week for most skin types. If your skin is very sensitive, start with once a week.

If your skin tolerates it well and you have significant buildup or texture concerns, three times per week is safe.

Wear sunscreen daily.

It's one of the best uses for it. Exfoliating before makeup creates a smooth, even surface that lets foundation blend seamlessly instead of clinging to dry patches.

For a special event, exfoliate the night before for the best results.

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.

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.

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.
