Garden of Wisdom's Pineapple and Wine Exfoliating Gel combines these two powerful ingredients in a gentle and effective formula. This gel is designed to be applied onto the skin, where it works to loosen and remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter, smoother, and more radiant skin. The formula also includes other skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe vera to help hydrate and soothe the skin. Pineapple is a great natural exfoliant due to its enzyme content, particularly bromelain. This enzyme helps break down dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, making the skin look brighter and smoother. Pineapple is also rich in vitamins A and C, both of which are essential for maintaining healthy skin. Vitamin A helps to regulate oil production and prevent the formation of acne, while vitamin C helps to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.

Rosacea, sensitive, over 50 skin is my profile and this doesn't irritate. My skin looks brighter when I use this. It goes on evenly and isn't messy. My favorite!

A Special Treat
I found this to be a mild, non-irritating exfoliant for when my skin needs a little extra turnover help to brighten my face. It's such a special treat to put it on. My skin definitely finds it yummy! I can't do chemical peels as much anymore because I am in the habit of retinol use, so this fruit enzyme peel is perfect and gentle!
So happy to hear you are happy with this product! Thank you :)

The smell is addicting!
The smell of this exfoliating gel will quickly become one of your favorites. I look forward to the days I use this product as part of my skin care regimen.
Not only does it smell fantastic but it works, and works well.!! You can feel your skin getting tighter and becoming so clean!
Thank you for taking the time to share with us your results with this product!!

gentle exfoliation
I adore this product because it delivers results every time in just a few minutes. I use it for about 3 minutes once a week to every week and half and it always leaves my skin looking "glowy" and renewed. I was told that acid exfoliators are not my friend due to having sensitive skin. This exfoliating gel scratches that itch to want to exfoliate even though you know you shouldn't... you know the one I'm talking about! And I am never left feeling like I over did it. I have had my 2.5oz jar for over a year, and it still works as well as it did the first time.
There's something about coconut vinegar that just hits right...
I LOVE to close my eyes and spray all of the Coco tonics on my face after washing it. It smells amazing and makes it so less is more as you move forward with serums and creams. It's like self-care in a spritzer.
Gianna, you should be a writer; your description is absolutely spot on!😊
You painted such a beautiful visual, and we’re so grateful for this fantastic review.
Thank you!
Markey 😊❣️
It is the most DIVINE of all the serums I've tried at GoW, not only due to it's efficacy, but the scent takes you straight into a rose garden on a mild spring day. Lovely feeling on my skin and to my senses.
Gianna,
What a beautiful way to describe the Rose Stem Cell & Peptide Serum, “a scent to rival all scent-sations”! We’re thrilled you’re loving the Rose Stem Cell Serum, both for its feel and how it transports you.
Thank you for this lovely review!
Markey
This serum is amazing!! I cannot stress enough how I've truly tried so many different products on my face, and GoW is the only company that has me returning every time wondering why I tried anything else. This eye serum is exceptional. It is not tacky - dried clear - and totally refreshes my eyes in a way no other serum has even come close to. I've used it for a few years now and cannot go without it.
Gianna,
This is my favorite eye product (Beautiful Eyes Serum w/ReguAge). When I apply this to my upper orbital bone (eye) and gently press and push up while holding for several seconds, majikal things happen. This is assuming
you have developed hooded upper eyelids. If not, preemptive strike.
Your GoW Team wishes you the very best in your incredible skincare journey
I’ve been using this oil for years. As someone in their 40s and living in the desert, this oil gives a gentle hydration, supporting perimenopause skin, without being greasy or heavy on my sensitive skin type.
Hi Sharon
Thank you for such a thoughtful review and for sharing the results you experienced over time.
It’s the kind of feedback that genuinely helps others feel confident in trying this oil blend!

Hi Ashley
Hopefully, this means you liked the oil? I love the richness and complexity of this oil’s composition.
This being said, thank you!

Skin is like smooth glass... non-invasive... simple and easy.... affordable... great stuff
What can I say? Garden of Wisdom's products are always lovely. This is one of the light, exfoliating products that gives an immediate glow with a finish like smooth glass, without any over-drying (or even any drying) effects).
Even my dentist and hygienist complimented my skin a few weeks ago.
I've been a GoW customer since my late 20s and I'm now 57. My skincare needs have, obviously, changed. However, as my skincare (and haircare) needs change, GoW always gives me what i need, based on what my skin needs.
I cannot do without Markey and Garden of Wisdom. No one will give you the personalized and individualized treatment services, clean products, clean raw ingredients, and custom formulations... Especially at a very affordable cost and fast shipping.
Perfect Pumpkin Exfo 15% Serum

Love the progeline peptide repair serum
I love this serum! I’ve tried many things over the years but this takes the cake!
I am falling in love with the texture of GOW products. This is lightweight and GENTLE formula for mild acne and redness, I am still in the works of finalizing my routine but this is HERE to STAY! Honestly it's impossible to even find a similar product with this good of formulation without the excess ingrinets that can be sneaky and cause problems.

Great Overnight Jumpstart To Hairgrowth
I enjoy using this as an overnight scalp jumpstart to hair growth. It smells lovely and even though a little more heavy than other follicle stimulators, as it is intended to be rinsed out after overnight, it contains high end ingredients of competitor brands plus even better ingredients not found on the market. My scalp feels rejuvinated each use :)
