A while ago, I exchanged some of my Korres points for Korres Petal Soft Cream Exfoliator. When it comes to exfoliators, I usually go for chemical exfoliators that make the dead skin ball up on my face. But this time, the idea of physical exfoliator Korres Petal Soft Cream Exfoliator appealed to me as a change of pace.
Benefits and Key Ingredients
Korres Petal Soft Cream Exfoliator ‘s key benefits include:
- removing dead skin cells and dry skin
- to reveal glowing skin
- smoothing skin’s surface while leaving it moisturized.
The peachy-beige lightweight cream is rich with fatty acids from wild rose oil that moisturize and leave skin looking and feeling plumped. Suspended in the cream are tiny natural rice grains that do the exfoliating, along with cherry powder and plant extracts. It also contains BHA (Salicylic Acid) and AHAs to clear dead skin cells as well as excess oil. Although I have dry skin and seldom have excess oil, the wild rose oil and other natural oils in the product leave my mature skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated.
Usage
Korres Petal Soft Cream Exfoliator, in fact, is supposed to be gentle enough to use every night, though I believe once or twice a week is plenty for my skin. However, those with combination or oily skin may enjoy using it more frequently.
Petal Soft Cream Exfoliator should be applied to wet skin with fingers or a masque brush and rubbed in gently with fingers forming circles on skin. Finally, it should be rinsed off with either cool or warm water. I use a washcloth to remove the tiny grains. Next, I follow up with a hydrating toner, serum and moisturizer.

I know your love of Korres so this is a great product. I’m not in need of an exfoliator for a while but I’d consider this.
I do love Korres. Unfortunately, a number of their products do contain fragrance so I would understand that they may not be for you. This exfoliator, however, has a very faint scent. Fortunately, their fantastic eye serum, my absolute favorite Korres product, has no scent.
I’m a fellow Korres fan so I need to try this.
