HOW TO USE
According to Memebox: "Use this peeling gel on dry skin. Before washing your face, dispense an ample amount of the peeling gel and gently massage it all over the face until residues form. Keep doing it for 5 minutes then rinse off with lukewarm water."

I would like to point out that the Memebox website states to use this before washing your face, but upon reading the instructions on the actual product (yeah for being able to read Korean) it says to cleanse your face first, then dry your face completely before going in with the gel. Also, nowhere on the product does it say to massage it in for 5 min. I don't know where they got that from. The instructions on the actual product states to just massage the product all over the face (avoiding the eyes and mouth) and then rinse with lukewarm water. 

So to recap: cleanse face, pat dry completely, massage an ample amount of product all over the face (avoiding eyes and mouth) until residue forms then rinse off with lukewarm water. Quick, easy and effective.

Definitely wouldn't recommend massaging this onto your face for an entire 5 minutes as the product dissipates leaving just the dead skin residue with no lubricant between your hand and face. This skin to skin rubbing would cause friction and actually end up being detrimental to your skin, so once it's all massaged in just go straight to rinsing your face.

VERDICT
I love this product. It has a slight lemony scent, does what it's supposed to do, and is fun to use. It's kinda gross, but totally satisfying and fun to slough off all that dead skin from your face. Leaves your skin feeling clean, smooth and moisturized which plays a big part in why I like it so much. 

I have tried a different peeling gel, but I wasn't a huge fan of it because while it did slough off the dead skin like this one, it wasn't as moisturizing and I felt like it left my skin clean but dry. This one however, the formula is moisturizing and smooth while still doing it's job. Also, because of the lemon I do feel like it had the added bonus of brightening my face as well.
