Skincare Sunday - Tony Moly Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream

Happy Skincare Sunday everyone! I am digging in to some of my favorite k-beauty packaging for this week's review! 


tony moly appletox smooth massage peeling cream review

Tony Moly Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream ~ $13.50. (priced from $9 - $15 online). This peeling cream visibly exfoliates and clarifies within minutes, leaving skin fresh and supple. It gives the healthy boost your complexion needs with Vitamins A, B1, B6, and C. Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) loosens the bind between skin and dead cells, allowing the cream to massage deeply and bring waste and dead cells to the surface for easy elimination. Green apple extract ensures that your skin will look brighter and silkier within minutes! It's especially useful for normal to oily skin, as it reacts with your natural oils in the exfoliating process. The soothing white cream has a natural green apple scent, and is packaged in a cute apple-shaped container.

Seriously, in terms of k-beauty packaging, Tony Moly really knows how to grab people in! I absolutely love the fruit packaging that coincides with the products! 



This is basic white cream and it has a tiny hint of apples - nothing overwhelming at all!

To use this peel:
1. Wash face
2. Apply a layer of cream to skin and massage in to skin for 1-2 minutes (the cream should thin out and start to appear transparent)
3. Wait 30 seconds to 1 minute
4. Using circular motions, rub off cream and wash the dry skin peel off
5. Rinse with water
6. Complete skincare routine

Here is the example on my hand:


These pictures show the cream first applied, after rubbed in to skin for 2 minutes, and then peeled off! 

Also, of course I used it on my face! 

I will say this is a very gentle peel - which to me is great! I use a peel once every 2 weeks (I alternate a deep exfoliation on the opposite weeks). I have dry and sensitive skin, so I really require my peels to be gentle and good on sensitive skin.

I thought this peel was good - I generally use a gel based peel so I really liked the cream style! The scent did not sting the eyes and this didn't feel chemically on the skin at all. It was gentle but removed all the dry skin and made my face (and hand) feel super soft! For my skin type, this was a great peel and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a gentle peel for softer and brighter skin!

  6. I bet this would smell great! Tony Moly has such great packaging. I came across their coffee scrub once and it was in a tiny cup, with a spoon on the side to scoop the product out!
