Product details

A white pump bottle of Yehwadam Silky Smooth Body Peeling Gel on a cream table against a coral wall, between red adzuki and mung beans and dried ginseng slices with soybeans

Body exfoliator

A rich herbal peeling gel that rolls away dead skin as you massage, for soft, smooth skin from shoulders to heels.

Yehwadam is The Face Shop’s Korean herbal line. This body gel blends ginseng and pine mushroom with red bean, mung bean and soybean in a dense, beige gel. Massage it over the body and the dead skin and dullness roll off with it, without hard scrubbing. It’s made for the rough spots: elbows, knees and heels.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Ginseng + pine mushroom

    Yehwadam’s signature pairing of Korean ginseng and pine mushroom, for a nourishing herbal treatment while you exfoliate.

    No. 13, 16 of 42 on the list

In the shower

  1. 1

    Pump

    Before or during your shower, on wet or dry skin, take a generous amount of the gel.

  2. 2

    Spread

    Smooth it evenly over the body, avoiding the face.

  3. 3

    Massage

    Massage gently with your hands or a bath mitt. Spend a little longer on elbows, knees and heels.

  4. 4

    Rinse

    Once the dead skin starts to roll off, rinse it all away with lukewarm water.

Good to know

  • For the body only, not the face.
  • Contains denatured alcohol high on the list, plus fragrance, ginger and cinnamon bark extracts. Skip it on broken or irritated skin, and patch test if you’re sensitive.
  • The Face Shop recommends it for anyone who likes a regular Korean bathhouse-style body scrub but wants an easier way to do it at home.
  • Soft, white-floral herbal scent. Comes in a 300 mL pump bottle.
