- Cure by Toyo | Aqua Gel Gentle Exfoliator | Clear and Softer Skin | Non-Abrasive Face and Body Cleanser | Sensitive Skin | Big Size 8.82oz

I’ve been using the Cure Aqua Gel Gentle Exfoliator and love how it smooths my skin without irritation. The formula is water-based and gentle enough for sensitive skin — no harsh beads or gritty texture. As you massage it in, you can feel the dead skin lifting away, and afterward my face feels soft, refreshed, and more receptive to moisturizer. It’s easy to use, rinses clean, and doesn’t leave residue. I appreciate that it exfoliates effectively without causing redness or dryness. A little goes a long way, so even though it’s not the cheapest, it lasts a long time and is worth the money. Overall, this is an excellent exfoliator for anyone who wants real results with a gentle, skin-friendly formula.

THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING. When I ordered this product, I had previously done a whole research on Asian skin care products and found out that most of them were really expensive and sometimes didn't even work. So when I came across Cure Natural Aqua Gel on a Youtuber's Channel and found it was really inexpensive, with positive reviews, I was really excited to try it out. It arrived really fast and with no problems. My product was easy to apply since it came with English instructions on the back. When I applied it on my face, slowly and gently massaging it, I felt a bunch of little balls coming off. I was surprised that such a soft and gentle exfoliator could have such an enormous effect, so I checked the product to see if it had any hidden balls within it but found none. So, as I like to think, I conducted a small experiment that goes as follows: "Since some parts of our bodies have higher or lower concentration of dead cells, if I use the same amount of product on these areas I should get a different amount of dead cells. And if I get the same amount of "balls" it means it is all within the product. (Making sense? It does in my head XD) I decided to test two areas: 1) The elbows, 2) The face Why? Well, if there is a part of the body people clean(or at least within my family) it's the face. I know I am too lazy to scrub my body every single day and thus my elbows don't get such a nice treatment. Besides, elbows are a joint where skin accumulates, thus more dead cells. ( I am not an expert) Procedure: So I pumped twice and applied it on my elbow which I know has a big concentration of dead cells. And as hypothesized( if you like to think of it that way ;D) a big amount of balls formed. Then, I applied the same amount of product to a part of my dad's face as equal in surface area as that of my elbows (I had already exfoliated mine so it doesn't count). My conclusion was that the product truly works, because the same amount of product generated different amounts of balls, meaning it must have reacted to the skin. It's a weird way of testing it out and I know many factors could have influenced the answers but all you really need as proof, is the feel of your skin. Review: To really appreciate a product I write down my expectations VS. reality and with these, I draw my "real expectations" because having realistic expectations in mind really help to appreciate any product and understand it's value. For me these were my Expectations Vs Reality Expectations Yes, we all have wished our acne would simply disappear, together with the scars and all those skin problems after one application. "My skin will turn to a beautiful and healthy glowing and perfect skin." Reality After years of doing nothing to my skin( I am guilty -.-), it won't go away magically, and if it does call me. Skin needs time to repair, so I have to be patient. There is no "perfect" skin so I should love my skin the way it is even though I look like a Mexican version of a vampire. Results The product is as gentle as you want it to be( if your not gentle with your skin you can scar it even more -.- like I did when I exfoliated with sugar and rubbed so hard on my skin). It has only being 2 weeks, and My acne is still there, but it has tremendously dwindled. I used to have acne all over my cheeks and now I only get one pimple every other day. My skin doesn't "glow" in the dark (LOL) but it does look a little more healthy and not so dull. The product has caused no "after effects", it is pleasant to use and has done close to magic for my skin \(^_^)/ OVER ALL I am so happy with this beautiful product sent from heaven. I have lived with acne my whole life like a lot of people, and I did my research, bought this product and now I am happy. It is worth every penny, and it does wonders(at least to my face), fast shipping, you name it. I use this product with my skin care routine which is as follows: 1) A make up remover (if you wear make up, I don't so I can't recommend any but oils are good too if you want a more natural way) 2) A cleanser- use any of your preference, i haven't found a favorite yet. 3) An exfoliator- THIS ONE! 4) A toner- for this I use half Apple cider vinegar and half water because i don't like the idea of rubbing any alcohol product on my face. 5)A moisturizer- Even if I have oily skin, I moisturize my skin(I think is very important but can't tell if it will make it worst for others or not) I recommend Aveeno 6) Masks- sometimes I use honey for my red scars, or clay masks work too (Indian Clay) 7) A Spray - Avene Thermal Spring water spray is great to keep face moisturize if you don't want to apply face cream often, its a lighter feeling. Sorry for my bad English, Spanish is my first language. This is only my opinion and my craziness :D

I recently discovered the Cure Exfoliating Skin Gel, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer for my skincare routine. This incredible product has made my skin incredibly soft, bright, and smooth, leaving it with a radiant glow. One of the things I love most about this exfoliating gel is how easily it removes dead skin cells. As I gently massage it onto my skin, I can actually see the dead skin rolling off, revealing a fresh and rejuvenated complexion underneath. It's like a mini spa treatment right at home! After using the Cure Exfoliating Skin Gel, I've noticed a remarkable improvement in the texture of my skin. It feels incredibly smooth and velvety, almost like baby skin. Not only that, but my makeup glides on effortlessly after using this gel. It creates a flawless canvas for my foundation, allowing it to blend seamlessly and last longer throughout the day. Another great thing about this product is that it is gentle yet effective. It doesn't cause any irritation or redness, which is a common concern with many exfoliating products. I appreciate that it is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin like mine. I have been using the Cure Exfoliating Skin Gel for a while now, and I can confidently say that it has become an essential part of my skincare routine. It has transformed my skin and made it look healthier and more radiant than ever before. If you're looking for a gentle yet powerful exfoliator that will leave your skin feeling soft, bright, and ready for makeup application, I highly recommend giving this product a try. You won't be disappointed!

Have you ever had a nightmare where you looked into a mirror and watched the skin melt off of your face? This is kind of like that. After trying several products in an attempt to even my complexion and perhaps help make my T-zone look less like a russet potato, I stumbled across this Japanese marvel. After reading several positive reviews across multiple websites, I threw thirty dollars into the internet and received the product less than two days later, presumably delivered via techno-wizardry. My curiosity (CURE-iosity? Get it?) reached a melting point; I had to use it instantly. The first thing you notice is the big blue ambiguous word on the bottle: Cure. If you saw this product on a shelf without researching it first, you would have no idea what it does. Is it hand-soap sponsored by Robert Smith? Is it sanitizer? Is it the cure for EVERYTHING? It also reads in small text 'natural aqua gel', which makes no sense. After using this product, I'm pretty sure that nothing about this product is natural. It's the stuff of witches. Let's squirt some into our hand, shall we? Cure 'Natural' Aqua Gel is a cloudy clear color, and the consistency is that of jello when you take it out of the fridge too early (Stop being so impatient). The product claims to be 90% water; if this is to be believed, I can only assume that the remaining 10% is voodoo magic. I pumped some into my hand and rubbed it on my face; it's unremarkable at first. There's no lather, no cooling or warming sensation, and no little gritty bits scratching your face, as there is in exfoliating scrubs. I'm standing there in the mirror, massaging this smooth, watery goop into my face for about fifteen seconds wondering: "What did I just spend 30 dollars on?". Then it happens. As I massage the gel in circles on my face, suddenly that smooth feeling under my fingers starts to get a bit... gritty. I squeeze a bit more gel on my hands and continue, thinking maybe the gel is coagulating or something. The gritty feeling intensifies, and begins to feel more like i'm massaging rice into my face, and upon leaning closer into the mirror, I have to keep myself from screaming. It's skin. Oh god. THERE'S SKIN EVERYWHERE. I felt like a cicada shedding it's exoskeleton; there was balls of dead skin covering every inch of my face and hands. It's like when you were a kid and got craft glue on your hands, and got it off by rubbing them together. Except it's skin, and it's on your face. I spent the next two or three minutes shouting 'EW' and 'OH GOD IT'S SO GROSS' while continuing to rub my face; by this time it due to morbid fascination rather than desiring even coverage. I eventually couldn't stand the feeling of all the shedded skin on my face and hands anymore, so I leaned down to the sink and washed up. After drying my face, it looked like I just took off a mask; my face was clear, vibrant, soft, and squeaky clean. I put on some lotion and stared at the bottle of hoodoo magic for a bit before setting it on the counter. I've decided i'll always have a bottle of this. I have used it every two or three days for the past month; while I haven't had the same amount of dead skin sloughing off my face as the first time, there's always a good bit, and it's always slightly unnerving. Since then, my face has become soft and silky, free of blemishes entirely, and has started to clear up blackheads as well. It's as effective as it is disturbing, and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to get real results with an exfoliating product. Just be ready to be grossed out.

I'm sure many are going to disagree with me. However, this product is not exactly a miracle. There's quite a lot of products similar to these floating in Asia which can also be found on Amazon for lower prices, but they are also smaller in size. The product is actually not that expensive as you get quite a bit of product. I'm not exactly sure, but I've heard this product expires six months after opening. If you're on a budget, buy one of the smaller, similar products with a nicer price tag and if you like that, buy this one for comparison. This product does work, and it actually does quite a good job at removing my dead skin cells, but about just as equal as my other products do. It also did make my face look cleaner and brighter looking, and yes, they are your dead skin cells coming off, not the actual product balling up. I actually think it could be a mixture of both. It's very watery and glides onto the face pretty nicely. I've used it on legs as my legs are quite dry, and I've noticed it doesn't provide as much moisture as my other products. but it gets the job done. I've bought and used this since about five months ago if that provides any other additional information. This gel would probably best fit sensitive or minimally dry skin. If your skin is extremely dry and flaky, this product is not going to get rid of your problem. It does moisturize as it contains a dose of glycerin and is good for sensitive skin mainly because it's mostly water and unscented, but it smells a bit like chlorine to me. Although it does actually do a pretty good job at taking away my dead skin cells, it's pretty equal in terms of other gel based exfoliators. A clean and dry face is recommended for best results before using. Dead skin and oil do not cause acne, bacteria that gets mixed in with it causes acne. Most exfoliators SHOULD fade scars because the point of it is to shed dead skin and reveal newer, fresher looking skin, however, lots of exfoliators don't do this because of their harsh, grainy formula that can tear skin and cause more hyperpigmentation. What isn't overhyped is the seller, ppali beauty, very recommended! Package came in quick and neatly bubble wrapped which came with samples!

How do I begin to describe just how ridiculously awesome this product is. Seriously, I have NEVER come across anything like this before. Let me explain the situation: I live in Savannah, GA (hot, humid south), and occasionally return to Denver, CO (dry, cold west). When I go from tender South to rugged mountains, my humidity-pampered face shrivels up and dries like paper. I spend days peeling skin until my face re-adapts to the dry climate. Not only it is gross, but dead skin cells aren't good for you. They cause acne and whatnot. UNTIL NOW. HOW IT WORKS: - wash your face with hot water and facial soap as usual - pat dry with a towel - pump a tiny bit of Cure onto fingertips - gently rub all over face - keep rubbing...until all your dead skin peels off Don't freak out. It's not chemically stripping your face off. It's hydrating all that dead skin until it's supple and moist enough to roll into a ball. As you massage your face, the dead skin clumps into tiny beads on your face. Be careful not to smash those beads of dead skin back INTO your face. Just rinse them off your fingertips. When you're done, just splash water on your face until the beads come off. DON'T, I repeat DON'T, try to scrub them off. It'll just collect back in your pores. I use it twice a week to help remove dead skin. Anymore than that, and I notice is dries out your skin too much (causing, yet again, more shedding of dead skin cells). PROS: - super easy to use - gentle on face (no burning, chemical sting, allergic reaction, etc.) - mostly water, so safe for people with sensitive skin like me - no perfume or scent - easy to use pump gives you just enough (doesn't waste) - lasts forever (I'm 1" down the bottle after a month) - works like you cannot believe - fun factor (my sister and I were giggling like crazy while using it) CONS: - the price! oh, the price... - takes a while to arrive (about 2-3 weeks for mine) - can dry out your skin unless you use infrequently and follow up with face cream as soon as you're done - the first few times your face might overreact by creating more oil, but you'll be fine after the first few weeks - not available in American markets - no samples to try (but it does work...trust me) OVERALL: I will buy this until the company goes out of business, after which I will calculate how much I will need to last until age 90 and buy that amount from the company before they go under. But they won't because even though this product is expensive, it's amazing. I still don't get how it works. Just water infused with gel and some amazing recipe. My skin is so clean and baby soft! I can't wait to try this on a future sunburn. It's so gentle, I bet it will expedite the peeling/healing process. Five stars without a doubt.

It's not super convenient to use, and I'm not entirely convinced that the gunk I'm taking off isn't just the product itself. Considering the price this is rather disappointing. The baking soda I had been using previously works much better and costs a lot less. Maybe if I just put that in a bougie bottle it'll feel more lux.

So I was sold on all the positive reviews, before buying... and that's why I bought this. In the back of my mind, I didn't know what to expect. Some background: I'm a 37-year old fair-skinned Asian-American male. I have had a facial skincare routine every day of my life since I turned 30 years old. For 5 years, as far as cleansing goes, I was always using Stridex daily, and 2x a month using an acid exfoliator (the Olay serum/scrub kit). For the last couple years, I have switched to a basic water-based cleanser, and every 6-12 weeks I have applied either a 15% or 25% TCA chemical peel. In other words, I'm no stranger to what exfoliation feels like. As a kid, growing up, in the bath or shower, I would often scratch or rub my arms or legs to really give myself a deep clean. It would produce these "strands" of dead epidermis. But I would have to rub those areas really hard. Well, this "CURE" gel basically eliminates the need for all that rubbing/scratching. You rub gently over your face and within 15 seconds, sure enough, the epidermis starts to flake or "ball" off! Now, before I purchased, I read some people saying that if this was really your skin, that you'd be suffering from burns on your face. And I have two responses: (1) each time I apply this "CURE" gel, I squirt 4 pumps into my hands, and cover my face with it, and it appears to take off somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 of (the dead stratum corneum layer of) my epidermis skin layer; and (2) a lot of the skin that is flaking or balling off is actually from your HANDS, not your face! Of course, you've read the reviews that claim that this product does nothing. Well, so I ran all the following tests: (a) First, when I wore a plastic glove and rubbed the gel between my fingers, there was absolutely ZERO balling, even after rubbing 3 minutes until it dried. So, that basically eliminated all these claims in these negative 1-star reviews that it was due to coagulation of the gel. (b) Then, I applied the lotion once, rinsed off, applied again, rinsed off, and applied again, rinsed off. Each of those 3 times I had the balling/flaking results. 3 times! Now, a note: by the time I rinsed off the third time, my skin was dry and stinging. It was the same kind of stinging I get from applying a 15% TCA peel! Maybe not as strong, so maybe it's similar to a 7% TCA peel, but the sensation is definitely the same. And that stinging sensation comes where the TCA peel most affects me--around my nostrils, and under my chin. (c) My third experiment was on a separate evening, where I applied the lotion with a plastic glove (you can also wear a plastic sandwich bag, like a glove, instead). This time, on the 3rd pass, I no longer got the balling/flaking results. Instead, when I used the leftover gel from this 3rd pass attempt on my forearm, well, the dead epidermis started to ball/flake. (d) My last experiment was to try applying this in the shower. And it didn't work! This gel doesn't work at all if you try to apply it to a wet face. It only works (and works REALLY well!) if you apply it to a clean dry face!!! The results are remarkable. My skin is glowing after using this product. So after reading all this, what am I trying to tell you?: #1: This stuff is for real, most definitely. The stuff balling up is most definitely your dead epidermis. #2: It's best to apply this with something, instead of direct contact with your hands. I will continue using a plastic glove or plastic bag to apply. #3. If you decide to apply this 2-3 times in a row, you may exfoliate all your epidermis, and you better cover up with an SPF lotion. #4. Only apply on a dry face! I hope this helps some of you in your usage or purchasing decisions. Cheers. 1-WEEK UPDATE: If you wear a plastic glove while applying, you may need to rub with significantly more pressure because the plastic is slick and there's no friction to rub the surface epidermis away. But more amazingly, after about a week of use, it has gently removed about 30% of a discoloration caused by a popped pimple. Usually I have to wait months for it to go away, or I use deep exfoliation on it and it gets irritated and sticks around longer. Finally, after a week of use, I've also discovered that my Ponds pore strips are much more effective now on my pores. Overall, I'm convinced that the balling of skin looks so strange because it is an agglomeration ('mixture') of both your dead skin and the product itself (which isn't so far-fetched given that the product isn't supposed to necessarily magically disappear!). I'm quite happy with the gentleness of this product.
