I haven't seen or read any reviews about any L'egere products besides their White Multi BB Cream. Despite the lack of reviews, seeing as this brand is pretty well praised in Taiwan I decided to order a few of their products. Today I'll be talking about their Purifying BB Facial Peeling Gel.


Price: 20USD at Imomoko
Made In: Japan
How much do I use? 1 Pump about 1-2 times a week
Amount: 140g
What it is: Facial Peeling Gel (Gentle Exfoliator)
Claims: Contains AHA & Hyaluronic Acid to help lighten the skin, deep cleanse your pores of dirt, perspiration and oils. It removes dead cells that inhibit the natural process of cell renewal, leaving skin clean and glowing. Peeling Gel stimulates cell activity, revitalizes and prepares skin to receive nourishing moisturizers. (On the box)
Suitable For: All Skin Types
Warnings: Do not use on irritated skin
Would I recommend? Definitely



The box that it comes in states that not only can you use this on your face, you can use it on your elbows, knees and ankles - areas that tend to get dark and need more attention when it comes to lightening and/or exfoliating. I really like how this product is very multipurpose. About 1 to 1 1/2 pumps is more than enough for you face. If you're going to take it to the neck area, 2 pumps is enough. I'm going to briefly compare this to Cure's Natural Aqua Gel, a really popular gentle exfoliant in Asia.

INGREDIENTS LIST
CURE (90% Water)
Water Glycerin, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate, Acrylate Crosspolymer, Dicocodimonium Chloride, Steartrimonium Bromide, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Gingko Biloba Extract, Rosemary Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol

L'egere
Water, Glycerin, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Dicocodimonium Chloride, Steartrimonium Bromide, Dipropylene Glycol, Citric Acid, Malic Acid, Papain, Dextrin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Cirtus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Methylparaben

Feel & Texture: Textures are the same with both - they come out as a gel and as you massage onto the skin, it starts to emulsify and the buildup you see in the picture above is the dead skin. When I use Cure, its really like just massaging water onto the skin. With the L'egere, you actually feel it getting into your pores and cleaning out the dirt, which I like.

Cure and L'egere both make my skin feel softer and smoother after every use. The only difference they have is that L'egere helps brighten my skin better than Cure does and I think its because L'egere contains AHA and Cure doesn't. I love both products but price wise, L'egere is much cheaper than Cure - L'egere is only 20USD while Cure can range from 30-40USD but Cure has a bigger bottle (250g) so I guess its how you see it. L'egere doesn't have an expiration date, but Cure is recommended to use within 1 year due to the nature of the ingredients (its color, fragrance, and preservative free).

Verdict: I prefer L'egere over Cure.
I would only use Cure if I have acne problems as its more gentle and I don't have to worry about irritating it in any way.
