ma:nyo Galactomy Enzyme Peeling Gel Korean Skin care 75ml (2.5fl oz) Gentle Exfoliator

I used another brand of facial peeling gel for years but I wanted to switch to a more affordable product. ma:nyo Galactomy peeling gel, looks more like cream than a gel, is very affordable but it gets the same results as more (outrageously) expensive brands. I read the reviews about customers saying that the “balling effect” we get is only the breakdown of the gel and not the removal of dead skin. Yes, the peeling gel disintegrates when rubbed onto the skin (same effect as when you use an eraser to rub out pencil drawing) BUT this is the way the product works. It gently exfoliates the skin by lifting dead skin and impurities and binding them with the gel, hence the gommage effect. Peeling gels, in my opinion, are far better than conventional facial scrubs as they are more gentle on your skin and not gritty. I will agree that this peeling gel is a bit of a pain to rinse but I would say that despite the inconvenience, stick to it. After a few uses, you will notice you have less impurities to remove, you will use less of the gel, therefore less effort to rinse. Make sure your hair is away from your face though, as it can stick to it. Then again, the same thing can be said for any exfoliant. Also, rinse your face with lots of lukewarm water and finish with a splash cold water. From my experience, when I first started using a peeling gel, I used it every other day. I used to get a lot of grime but nowadays, I only do it once every two weeks or so as my needs to exfoliate has reduced and my skin is smooth. I am also done in less than 2minutes. I have an oily type of skin. I concentrate more on the T-zone by rubbing the gel in little circles and I used it sparingly on my cheeks. A little note: If your skin type is dry, I would advise to use a gel like Apricot Blossom Peeling Gel by Beauty of Joseon, also sold on Amazon. It is much gentler, easier to rinse and better suited for delicate, drier skins, I think. I have used both in my search of a new product and this is what I have noticed. To finish, ma:nyo Galactomy is excellent for oily and non sensitive skins. I will stick to it for the time being. It is is more “aggressive”, therefore better for my needs and does not irritates my skin (it is also much, much, much affordable than my old brand and as I said, the results are as good). I can only speak from my own experience. You have to try it for yourself :-)

I really like this skin peel, easy to use and gets rid of all the dead skin, leaving you with lovely soft skin underneath. You only need a small amount as it seems to spread easily, you work it in circular movement's and watch the skin fall of,amazing

OMG! Such an amazing product that I bought another one! It is the best peeling! Ur skin will leave definetly ur face ! U have a renewal! Your skin stays in your hand, so many small remnants of skin that is being removed are formed. Fantastic. There is any body cream like that? LOVE IT

Fantastic item. It really makes a difference to my 53 year old dry and sensitive skin.

I'm on the fence with this product. It is easy to apply to clean skin & within a few rubs it is clumping up but I'm not totally sure it's lifting out dirt in pores. I will try other products to compare. It does leave skin smooth & absorbs facial oils nicely. I use it 2 times a week. Age 50+

Exfoliating, I thought half my face was being rubbed away! Turns out my face was more dead skin cells than live ones. Felt wonderful even after first application. Glad I didn't use it in bedroom, I'd have had to run the hoover round. Actually excited to give it another go. I might weigh myself before and after it's that good!

Was okay on the T-zone, but stuck like glue to my cheeks. Rinsing didn’t remove, a face wash didn’t remove, even a micellar cleanser barely worked. Left my skin red and bumpy there. Would possibly work okay on hands, but definitely a no-no for the face.

Fantastic product, really gentle but removed a lot of dead skin.

Top Produkt, Haut strahlt richtig schön und fühlt sich rein an 🌸

I did some research about the clumps people said to be dead skin: "The gel contains protease enzymes (like papain from papaya) that help loosen dead skin cells, so there’s a chemical exfoliant component. There’s also cellulose in the formula. Cellulose is a substance that doesn’t dissolve in water, so as you massage the gel, the cellulose fibers clump together. These clumps help pick up dead skin and dirt, essentially giving a gentle physical exfoliation." ----- My review: I’ve only used this peeling gel once so far, but I wanted to share my early impressions. Like other reviewers mentioned, it does form clumps as you massage it in. From my understanding, this is mostly the cellulose in the product reacting on the skin—not necessarily old dead skin like some people assume. It can pick up some dirt and debris, but the clumps themselves aren’t proof of heavy exfoliation. That said, my skin felt noticeably clean, smooth, and refreshed afterward. What stood out the most was how soft and moisturized my skin felt. Unlike some exfoliators that leave my face tight or dry, this one actually left it supple and hydrated. My only complaint is the vague instructions. It says to use a “moderate amount,” but that’s not very helpful. What’s considered moderate? A pea-size? A quarter-size? Also, I personally wouldn’t recommend using this more than once a day—too much exfoliation can cause dryness or irritation over time. Overall, I’m really enjoying it so far. The formula feels gentle but effective, and I love how my skin feels afterward. I’ll update my review as I continue using it. * I have never purchased a product so newly out of the factory that I have plenty of time to use the product which expires in Aug 2028. It was produced in Aug 2025 and here we are in Nov 2025. Another kudos to the company.

If I could give this 10 stars I would. I’ve tried every exfoliating product known to man and this is INCREDIBLE. Hydrated glass skin after use, dead skin cells gone. I love it!!!

I have oily skin and my pores are constantly clogged. I use this peeling gel twice a week, it cleanses pores very well, exfoliates dead cells, resulting in incredibly radiant skin.

I absolutely love this peeling gel. The formula is incredibly gentle yet effective, giving my skin a smooth and refreshed feel every time I use it. The scent deserves a special mention — it’s light, clean, and very pleasant, making the whole experience feel calming. The silky texture spreads easily without any harsh or gritty feeling and rinses off cleanly, leaving my skin soft, not tight or irritated. I also appreciate how gentle it is — even on sensitive skin days it never causes redness. At the same time, it delivers visible results: my face looks brighter, smoother, and more even, and makeup applies better afterward. It’s one of those products that gives you that fresh, healthy-looking glow without any effort. For the quality and results, the value for money is excellent. A little goes a long way, so the tube lasts longer than I expected. Overall, this has become one of my favorite Manyo products, and I truly enjoy using it every time. Highly recommend.
