110 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other women's everyday face care: moisturizers, face mists, facial kits, rollers, cleansing brushes and steamers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Aroma Magic's Peppermint Exfol Gel is built around active enzymes plus a blend of natural extracts, cornflower, lemon balm, orange extract, peppermint essential oil and lavender essential oil. It is labeled for use on the whole body, not just the face, so it can double as an exfoliating step for arms, legs or other areas.
The 100 milliliter tube is compact, and at 120 grams it is easy to keep in a shower caddy or travel bag. Because it leans on essential oils and enzymes rather than the acids common in many facial gels, it feels more like a spa style treatment than a clinical one.
With 110 ratings averaging 3.9 stars, it has a modest but respectable track record, and current stock is limited to a small number of units, which tracks with the lack of recent monthly purchases. This looks like a smaller, steady niche pick rather than a bestseller.
Pros
- Combines active enzymes with natural botanical extracts
- Peppermint and lavender essential oils give a spa like sensory experience
- Formulated for use on the whole body, not just the face
- Compact 100ml tube travels easily
Cons
- 3.9 star average trails many other gels in this category
- Essential oil fragrance may not suit those with scent sensitivities
- Limited current stock and no recent monthly purchases suggest thinner demand
Performance notes
The active enzymes here are paired with cornflower, lemon balm and citrus extracts, ingredients generally used to support a refreshed, exfoliated feel rather than deliver a strong acid based resurfacing effect. The peppermint essential oil is likely responsible for the cooling sensation many gel exfoliants are known for, while lavender is included mainly for scent.
What buyers say
A 3.9 star average across 110 ratings is a fair but not exceptional score, suggesting the gel works well for many but has left some shoppers less impressed. The limited stock and lack of recent monthly purchases point to a smaller following compared to bigger name gels in this category.

Frequently asked questions
Is this gel meant for the face only?
No, the label lists it for use on the whole body, so it can be used as an exfoliating step for the face as well as other areas like arms or legs. If you plan to use it only on your face, a small amount goes a long way.
Does it contain any active acids?
The formula relies on active enzymes and natural extracts like cornflower and citrus rather than chemical exfoliating acids. That makes it a gentler option for those who want to avoid glycolic or salicylic acid based products.
How strong is the scent?
With both peppermint essential oil and lavender essential oil in the ingredient list, this gel has a noticeable herbal scent. If you prefer unscented skincare, this is worth keeping in mind before you buy.
