• This or That | The Face Shop Smart Peeling Mild Papaya vs. Soo’Ae Purifying Brightening Peeling Gel

    Hi Everyone!

    Today, I’m comparing two peeling gels that are mild exfoliants. Unlike my previous This or That post on exfoliating scrubs, these are gentler. The Tarte Frxxxtion Stick and Pixi Peel & Polish both have more gritty textures. The Soo’Ae gel is similar to the Peel & Polish, but it’s not as gritty and it smells nicer. The Face Shop’s peeling gel doesn’t feel gritty at all and it’s thicker and more like a jelly.

    Soo’Ae gel is on the left in both pics and The Face Shop peeling gel on the right. The Face Shop gel is more like a jelly and it’s a bit messier.

    Since these are so gentle, sometimes I use these peeling gels on the underarms too.

    WINNER: Soo’Ae Canada’s Purifying Brightening Peeling Gel

    I have to give the win to the purifying brightening peeling gel because it’s gentle, but it’s not as gloopy as The Face Shop’s. I actually think I prefer the Soo’Ae peeling gel to the Pixi Peel & Polish because it’s less expensive and smells nicer.

    Have you tried peeling gels or exfoliants? What are your faves?

    You can personalize the jewelry with dates, names, geographic locations, whatever you want! You can choose from different fonts and styles. It’s a great Mother’s Day gift or Bridesmaid gift for your besties! My mom doesn’t personally wear jewelry, but I would love to get one of these gorgeous engravables for my friends one day.

    I have a silver sparkle bangle that they used to sell (see below). It looks like the plain silver bangle on one side and on the front, it has crystals. Inside, it says “SHINE BRIGHT” which is so cute. I will definitely be purchasing a plain engraved one once I figure out what I want it to say.
