ma:nyo Galactomy Enzyme Peeling Gel Review
According to ma:nyo,
Created with 94.44% natural ingredients, this gentle, non-irritating peeling gel is made with rice and plant-based enzymes that lift away dead skin cells, leaving the healthy ones untouched. More information is below and samples are available. Inspired by traditional Ttaemiri rituals, ma:nyo’s Galactomy Enzyme Peeling Gel uses fermented rice enzymes to reveal smooth, glass-like skin without irritation.
It all starts with rice. For centuries, Korean women have cherished rice water as a natural beauty secret. Rich in vitamins and minerals, it was used to reveal a healthy glow and smooth the skin. Inspired by the traditional Ttaemiri exfoliation ritual found in Korean bathhouses - where the skin is deeply cleansed and renewed through gentle yet effective exfoliation - ma:nyo brings this same timeless ritual to daily skincare with their Galactomy Enzyme Peeling Gel. Galactomyces is a fermented yeast extract derived from the rice fermentation process. Rich in vitamins, amino acids, and enzymes, it is known for deeply nourishing the skin and enhancing radiance. In Korean skincare, Galactomyces is a go-to ingredient for refining texture, boosting clarity, and revealing that radiant glow for a glass-skin look. It also helps create a clean, even skin texture for a flawless makeup base!
ma:nyo’s Galactomy Enzyme Peeling Gel gives you that same smooth, satisfying feeling without any irritation or redness. Created with 94.44% natural ingredients, this gentle, non-irritating peeling gel is made with gentle, plant-based enzymes that lift away dead skin cells, leaving the healthy ones untouched. The formula’s soft plant fiber cellulose cleanses the pores neatly and mildly, while maintaining the skin's smoothness and hydration. 7 types of hyaluronic acid also moisturize the skin after exfoliation.
By gently removing dead skin, you are setting your skin up to drink in all the good stuff such as serums, moisturizers, or whatever you use next. It is like hitting reset, so everything you apply afterward works even better!
Features & Claims:
- 94.44% natural derived ingredients
- Cellulose + enzyme = Deep Double Cleansing
- Fermented Enzyme: removes dead skin cells and gives nourishment to the skin
- Galactomyces: controls excess facial sebum and improves skin texture
- Gentle exfoliation and smoother texture
- Moisture-rich gel texture is gentle and non-irritating - even for sensitive skin.

Trader Joe's Refresh Citrus Body Wash Review
According to Trader Joe's,
Trader Joe’s Refresh Citrus Body Wash is a citrus-y formulation with orange, grapefruit, tangerine and lemon scents to truly “refresh” every time you cleanse. But that’s not the only reason it deserves its refreshing moniker. It’s made with vitamin C, chamomile, ginseng, ginger, essential oils, and vitamin B5. It was developed to nourish, moisturize, and leave your skin clean and silky smooth—refreshed.
Refresh Citrus Body Wash is made just for us by a very well-respected maker of high quality beauty care products. We can’t tell you their name, or the names under which their products sell in other stores, but we can tell you that most of their products sell for much higher prices at other retailers.
Overall Assessment: I waited far too long to buy this gem of a body wash, and I have reached for it every single say since I purchased it. A+$2.99 for 16 oz. from Trader Joe's (Unaffiliated Links). Purchased. All views expressed are categorically my own.

Blinc Eyeshadow Sticks in Bronze & Champagne: Review & Swatches
Blinc Cosmetics Eyeshadow Sticks in Bronze & Champagne are stunning examples of budge-proof cream eyeshadows that stay put until you remove them! Their texture is soft and creamy, and they glide across the skin effortlessly and deposit buildable color evenly.
