Refine and brighten your skin with the Koh Gen Do Soft Gommage Gel, a face scrub that performs gentle exfoliation to smoothen and clarify the complexion.Infused with SPA Blend Water and six herbal extracts, the gel-based exfoliator delicately sloughs away dead skin cells which can make skin appear dull and congested, and helps to reduce redness for a more balanced, even toned complexion.

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
