The main difference is in the ingredients. Cure Natural Aqua Gel do not have AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) in its ingredients unlike Ginvera and most commercial products. This agent is harmful to your skin. The best thing about Cure is that 90% of its ingredient is water.

You can try the tester at Ngee Ann City's Watson. Yes, I did buy a bottle and I love it.

What type of skin do you have? I have normal/dry/sensitive skin. Really varies. I have been sourcing for a nice alternative to milky cleansing lotions. There are so many cleansers that I can't use cause its way too drying for me.

I have oily skin. But this product works for all skin type because its gentle ingredients (90% water).

However, you will still need a cleanser because Cure only works as a exfoliator. It only removes your old and dead skin, leaving behind a smooth and brighter skin tone. I tried using it on half my face to see if I can spot any difference and I was surprized one half was fairer and cleaner.

You use your normal cleanser first and then dry your face. Apply Cure and slowly massage your face in a circular motion. You will start seeing pieces of white dead skin appearing (Really amazing). After, rinse off and apply your toner and moisturer. With the dead skin off, your moisturer can be absorbed effectively to your skin.

I also tried Cure on my neck and was surprized to see so many dead skin there.

I bought it for $38. Bottle size is 250ml. I think it is a good deal. I checked from the internet, Japan is retailing it for 2650 yen. After conversion, it is around $39.

Yup, it is a scrub but in gel form without any beads inside. Read my reply above on how to use it.

AHA is harmful for skin? But it helps to regenerate skin cells and prevents wrinkles if used regularly??

If I am not wrong, AHA is a type of Fruit Acid. It is very acidic and is harsh for our skin. They used this strong acid to melt the dead skin. That's why sometimes your skin will feel itch and dry.

By removing dead skin will help to regenerate your skin cells and will prevent wrinkles. The problem is how you remove your dead skin without harming the layer below it.

That's why I love Cure, it has no AHA and 90% of its ingredient is water.
