My skin's general appearance is more even and clear after two years of consistent use. Not only am I regularly complimented on my overall face smoothness, but I occasionally insist on having complete strangers come and stroke my cheek so they can confirm its smoothness for themselves. One day, I assume this will lead to a date. Which is why, in addition to being a great treatment, I can also recommend it as a fantastic way to break the ice at your next social engagement.

The gel has quickly gained fans all over the world, thanks to its gentle, chemical-free formula that effectively exfoliates skin without causing any irritation. Natural Aqua Gel Cure’s main ingredient is actually hydrogen water, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging benefits because of the extra hydrogen gas that’s pumped into it. Other ingredients include aloe leaf, rosemary, and ginkgo biloba extracts, which work to kill bacteria, moisturize, and soothe skin. Plus, it’s safe for all kinds of skin, from oily and acne-prone to dry and aging. Shoppers can’t stop raving about it — most say it works wonders and even delivers similar results to a chemical peel.

I have a bone to pick with exfoliating products. All the ones I've tried in the past have been either too harsh or not harsh enough. And with the recently passed Microbeads ban, finding one that's both economically friendly and effective for my oily skin has been even more of a struggle. But my true-to-life Goldilocks moment occurred when I came across the wonder that is Cure's Natural Aqua Gel. It neither felt like I was scrubbing off a layer of skin nor like I was simply using a glorified cleanser: It was jusssssst right.
