i told myself that it's just a peeling gel. but since i stopped using cure peeling gel, somehow i became lazy to use peeling gel every week, and my last peeling gel almost gone bad before i managed finishing it. anyway.. after that i became reluctant to specifically get my peeling gel from japan. i decided to just buy anything from body shop, especially since i have birthday discount. but i don't know which one to get since there are a few types of them. i managed to visit the store just before the "stay at home" mandatory was put in effect, and i only saw the vitamin c one and the drops of youth one, so i decided to try the drops of youth first. i hope this one works well even though i don't have the same luck with the serum.
this is the description from the website: the drops of youth - youth liquid peel exfoliates and gently peels off impurities from your skin, lifting dead skin cells and residuals. infused with a blend of three plant stem cells, this revolutionary gel-to-peel leaves skin clean and purified from the day's pollutants. continued use will leave a fresh, smoother and more luminous youthful-looking skin. 100% vegetarian, with three plant stem cells (edelweiss from italian alps, sea holly and criste marine from the britanny coast), instantly feels like dead skin cells are lifted, peels off impurities and pollutants, skin feels cleansed from day's pollution, dermatology tested.
ingredients: aqua, alcohol denat, propylene glycol, glycerin, carbomer, PPG-26-buteth-26, palmitamidopropyltrimonium chloride, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, quaternium-80, parfum, behentrimonium chloride, linalool, citronellol, cetrimonium chloride, isopropyl alcohol, crithmum maritimum extract, leontopodium alpinum callus culture extract, sodium hyaluronate, citric acid, xanthan gum.

the packaging: since i bought this in store, there's no box. it's only the bottle. it comes in green plastic bottle with pump that has unique stopper. the stopper is really secure, so you don't have to worry about it being spilled. you also have to turn the pump so you can pump out the product out. there's a description as well as ingredients list on the label. this comes in 150 ml size while cure comes in bigger size, 250 ml. there's a description at the back in indonesia.

the scent: it smells like fruity acidic thing, just like my previous peeling gel from other japanese brand. it's quite strong at first, and i don't like it, but after using it couple times, i think i get used to it.

the product: it's a milky white gel just like my other peeling gel. it spread easily and within seconds it starts to ball off.

the result: after washing it off, somehow my face doesn't look super bright and clear, unlike when i was using cure or the other japanese brand. but i can feel that my skin is softer after using it.

i'm still not sure about this one. it does work okay, but i don't like the acidic scent. it does a bit cheaper compared to cure peeling gel and it's easier to get, but it comes in smaller size. i think i will repurchase cure next time, but for now, this does the work. anyway.. i don't know what's the difference between this line and other peeling gel that body shop has, but this one works okay. it doesn't make my skin dry. but it's more expensive than other line. i think it's suitable for any skin types. if you have the budget, i think it's worth to try.
