Today I will have a break from my Korean product stash. Instead, I will share with you my views about one of Japan's popular skin care product- DET Clear Bright & Peel Peeling Jelly. Peeling gels are quite popular in Japan and Korea. In Japan, Cure is popular among this type of peeling gel but is on the pricey side. DET Clear is the next popular one in Japan because it functions the same as Cure for half the cost. Peeling gel is a type of exfoliant but is a liquid gel instead of a scrub.
DET Clear is a product manufactured by Meishoku. The Peeling Jelly line comes in 4 variants- Rose Jasmine, Mixed Fruit, Mixed Berries, and Fragrance-Free (for sensitive skin). The one I have here is the Mixed Fruit variant because I love fruity citrus scented stuff. They also have Bright & Peel Powder Wash and peeling Soap. This peeling jelly consists of fruit-derived AHA which brightens dull skin and plant-derived BHA that helps in unblocking pores. This jelly exfoliates old skin cells (keratin) that contain residual melanin. It also acts directly on spots and blackheads.
This product is in a sturdy plastic bottle with pump containing 180 ml of jelly liquid. The jelly is transparent and a bit thick with a (tolerable) fruity scent. A single pump can cover almost the entire face. Just be careful when pumping because you might have more than the amount you need. The face must be pat dry before spreading the jelly because applying the product on wet skin won't work at all. Your hands may or may not be dry. But in my case, I prefer my hands dry because the product is a bit watery. Spread the product on the entire face (I also use it on my neck sometimes) and gently rub it in circular motion until the jelly turns into solid particles. Rub it for a minute or two. I usually rub it more than that. Rinse thoroughly with water. Recommended use is 1-2 times a week. Remember to put a headband before you start your routine to avoid the jelly particles from sticking on your hair. Believe me, removing the particles on your hair is a pain in the butt!
After using this, you can proceed with your normal skin care routine without worries because it is mild. It won't burn your skin nor make it red after rinsing. You can instantly feel your skin turn smooth and bright looking. In my experience, I use this once a week especially after using makeup. Based on my observation, I noticed my pores temporarily shrink with every use. I also noticed that small bumps and rough parts on the nose area and around it turned smooth. I haven't had any breakouts nor itchiness after using this.
PROS:
- gentle on skin
- has naturally derived ingredients
- smells great
- easy to use
- a bottle can last for months (depending on the usage)
- gives immediate results
- removes rough skin
- doesn't cause dryness
- affordable
CONS:
- you cannot see the contents inside the bottle
- packaging is in Japanese (you're lucky if you buy it with English translated sticker)
- hard to remove if there are particles on your hair
- cannot be used if skin is wet
- available online
I recommend this product for people who wants the gentlest exfoliation feel. It is suitable for any skin type. You can even use it even if you have pimples or acne unlike face scrubs, especially those with abrasive particles. Those with sensitive skin or those who prefer unscented skin care products can still enjoy the experience using the fragrance-free variant. The bottle I have here is still half full to think it's been in my stash for 6 months now. I love this peeling jelly and will repurchase one (a different variant perhaps) when I am done with this bottle. A 4.5 out of 5 for this jelly!!!
