Product description
Can it cause redness or irritation? Is it safe for sensitive skin?
The formula uses mild enzymes instead of strong acids, gently lifting away buildup while keeping the skin barrier hydrated and calm. It’s suitable for sensitive skin, but checking ingredients before use is recommended.
It doesn’t feel like it’s exfoliating. Is it working?
Yes. What you’re seeing are the gel’s natural enzymes clumping together and binding with dead skin cells. This process gently lifts away buildup, leaving skin smooth and refreshed without damaging the skin barrier.
The texture feels strange and slimy. Is that normal?
Yes. The gel’s texture helps bind to dead skin and impurities effectively, ensuring gentle exfoliation without irritation.
Why does it stick to my skin or facial hair?
The gel lightly adheres to grip dead skin cells and impurities for removal without harsh scrubbing. Avoid the hairline and eyebrow areas to prevent it from clinging to facial hair.
Are English instructions included on the packaging?
Yes. English instructions are included on both the product packaging and the product detail page.

Pleasantly Surprised — Gentle, Refreshing, and Leaves Skin Soft
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.

Delivers super smooth polished skin but it’s messy
Love this exfoliation gel. But it is messy so best rinsed off in the shower. It has to be used on dry skin (as in not wet skin) otherwise it’s not nearly as effective. I prefer this gel to other physical exfoliation products like scrubs/granules. It leaves my dry skin super smooth but not tight or dehydrated. I use it about 3 x a week and that seems to be working fine. Will order again. Highly recommend.

Love this formula
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.

Great product
This is by far my favorite product so far. When I use this it gets all the dead skin off my face, evens out the texture, and leaves my face feeling soft. I’ll definitely purchase this again

Holy grail for me
Um, where has this been my whole life? I wanted to try exfoliating with enzymes because my rosacea is so sensitive to other forms of exfoliation, and this was a total game changer for me. I was surprised by how smooth my skin got afterward, and I noticed my complexion even looked better.As someone that struggles with redness, I was a bit shocked at how well this worked without causing ANY irritation or dryness. It was so gentle and effective, I couldn’t believe it. Usually when I exfoliate, I deal with temporary redness and sometimes sensitivity no matter how gentle the exfoliation, so this was a very nice and welcome change of pace. My skincare products absorbed so well afterward.Its been about 5 days since I used this product and my skin still feels nice and smooth. Will definitely buy again. I should have tried this type of exfoliation sooner, but I am glad I started with this because I had such a positive experience. I will highly recommend this to anyone!

Works okay, don’t believe the hype
It works well at cleansing the skin, but that stuff that comes off is just the lotion reacting with the air and water. It’s not the gunk from your skin coming out. Not much better than a regular facial cleanser.

Highly recommend
Used this for the first time yesterday and was very amazed with the results. If you’ve ever been to the mall and had some of that sea salt hand exfoliate this is the same for your face. This stuff literally takes the dead skin off your face and you can actually see the dirt balls rolling off your face I mean it takes a lot for me to get impressed by something but this stuff is A1… will definitely purchase again and again 💯

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 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 isis 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 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.
