Peel Shot Exfoliating Black Rice Ampoule — Reddit Reviews
by Dr. Melaxin
Updated October 18, 2026
Exfoliating ampoule smooths rough texture and clears pores; gimmicky for some.
What the community says
An exfoliating ampoule with salicylic acid, gluconolactone, and niacinamide that targets rough texture and congested-looking pores. It suits occasional T-zone use, but the thick, sticky slip and vigorous rubbing can aggravate irritated or barrier-damaged skin.
