We are a group of cosmetic scientists who understand what the chemicals used in cosmetics really do, how products are tested, and what all the advertising means.

It sounds to me as if you did not identify to the two users what the product was, and for that I must say, “Shame on you!” All they needed was the product classification and clear directions on the proper usage to base opinions on, and you failed to provide that, rendering your own question useless!

My daughter and I would love to try it, but at $50.00 a bottle, it isn’t going to happen. Can someone suggest a similar product that is less spendy?

I have using it for the 5 years and really like it. It works great, amazing effect to remove old (dead) cells from the skin. After gel skin is smooth and feels like a baby’s. 100% works!!!

The exact nature of the product is kind of irrelevant. What I was trying to say was that I was intrigued by how our perception of what a product does (and how it feels) is affected by what we’re told about that product before we use it.

It’s likely a “gommage” — which means you apply the product, wait for it to dry, then roll it off the skin in a circular motion – not unlike rolling glue off your hand when you’re a kid. The idea is that it loosens the bonds of dead skin cells and then you remove the top layer when you roll it off.

“Rolling Gel” was enough for me to assume “gommage” and hearing other’s experience that the gel didn’t foam and “felt thick” made me feel more confident about that assumption.

That said, I’m a massage therapist who has a long, extensive background in spas and have used gommages before in the past for full body exfoliations.
