Introduction
Peach & Lily has built a loyal following thanks to its science meets Seoul skin care approach, yet it still manages to fly under the radar for anyone who has not wandered down the K-beauty aisle lately. I have always admired the brand’s knack for pairing gentle botanicals with clinical actives, so when I heard about the intriguingly named Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask I was both curious and hopeful. The name suggests a full system reset for skin, and Peach & Lily promises just that: a pro level wash-off treatment that whisks away rough texture with glycolic and salicylic acids while blue agave and aloe keep things calm and bright. In other words, a glow up without the usual sting.
To see if it delivers on those lofty claims I spent a full two weeks integrating the mask into my nighttime routine, monitoring how my complexion looked and felt after each use. Here is how the experience unfolded and whether this reboot is worthy of your hard-earned money.
What is Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask?
Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask is a chemical exfoliating treatment that sits in the wash off mask category. A wash off mask is a product you spread over clean skin, leave in place for a set amount of time then rinse away completely. Because it does not stay on the face overnight it can deliver a stronger concentration of active ingredients without lingering on the skin for hours, making it a practical option for people who want noticeable results in a short session.
This formula relies on a duo of acids to dissolve surface buildup and unclog pores. Glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, targets dead skin at the outermost layer while salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, can move through oil to clear congestion inside the pore lining. The brand pairs those acids with blue agave extract and aloe vera, two ingredients known for their soothing properties, to help offset the potential irritation that often comes with resurfacing treatments.
The texture is described as jelly like and the directions are straightforward: apply an even layer to dry skin, leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes, expect mild tingling, then rinse with lukewarm water and follow with moisturizer. Used two or three times a week, the mask aims to smooth bumps, even out texture and leave skin feeling softer and looking brighter.
Did it work?
In the name of science I benched my regular wash off mask for a few days before starting this trial, which made me feel like a very dedicated lab rat. Fourteen days felt like a fair window to spot real change so I slotted Super Reboot into my routine every third night, totaling five full sessions.
First application: a cooling jelly glide followed by a definite tingle at the five minute mark. Not painful, merely “hello acid” territory. After rinsing my cheeks looked brighter and my forehead felt incredibly smooth, though a faint pinkness lingered for about half an hour. I layered a bland moisturizer on top and woke up to a subtle glow with no dryness.
By the second and third uses the tingle dialed down, perhaps because the top layer of dead cells had already taken their leave. Texture along my jaw started to feel more even and two stubborn whiteheads on my chin flattened faster than usual. I was impressed but also cautious; I noticed that if I left the mask on the full 20 minutes my skin felt tight the next morning, so I capped subsequent sessions at 15.
Heading into the final week the improvements plateaued. My skin remained smoother than baseline yet not markedly brighter than after the first couple of uses. Post acne marks did not fade as much as I hoped and a random hormonal blemish still appeared right on schedule. On the upside I experienced zero peeling or flare-ups, which speaks to how well the calming agents buffer the acids.
So did it live up to its promises? Mostly. It definitely softens rough patches and keeps pores clearer, but it stops short of delivering that dramatic reboot I was silently rooting for. I enjoyed the quick clarity boost yet I doubt I would replace my current exfoliating staples with it. If you crave a gentle nudge toward smoother skin this mask earns a spot on the maybe list, and I can see myself keeping a travel size on hand for occasional tune ups.
Main ingredients explained
The headline duo is glycolic acid and salicylic acid. Glycolic, an alpha hydroxy acid with the smallest molecular size in its family, works on the surface to break down the glue between dull dead cells so fresh skin can peek through. Salicylic, a beta hydroxy acid that dissolves in oil, slips into pores to clear out debris and help keep future bumps at bay. Together they create that immediate smoothness I noticed after rinse off, yet the percentages feel calibrated to stay in the comfortable tingling zone rather than full-throttle sting.
Peach & Lily buffers those acids with a buffet of soothing botanicals. Blue agave, aloe vera and centella asiatica bathe skin in polysaccharides and amino acids that calm redness and support barrier repair. Licorice root teams up with green tea and turmeric extracts to add an antioxidant punch while quietly nudging stubborn post-blemish marks toward a brighter direction. A trio of hyaluronic acid derivatives—sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed HA and the newer sodium acetylated HA—pulls water into the skin so the finish feels bouncy rather than stripped.
On the potential irritant front the formula is largely free of heavy emollients that rank high on the comedogenic scale, meaning it is unlikely to clog pores. Essential oils like lavender and geranium are present in the tail end of the list; they add a spa scent yet can provoke sensitivity in reactive skin so patch testing is wise. For reference, comedogenic simply means the tendency of an ingredient to block pores and trigger breakouts.
All listed components are plant derived or synthetically produced with no animal by-products so the mask is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. As for pregnancy or nursing, both glycolic and salicylic acids are generally considered low risk at the modest levels found in over-the-counter skincare, yet many dermatologists advise pausing leave-on or rinse-off chemical exfoliants during this phase. If you are expecting, get the green light from your physician before pressing play on this reboot.
It is also worth noting that the preservative system relies on phenoxyethanol and ethylhexylglycerin, which are widely tolerated alternatives to parabens. I did not detect added synthetic fragrance, just the mild herbal note from the essential oils, an aspect fragrance-sensitive users may want to weigh when deciding if this jelly belongs in their line-up.
What I liked/didn’t like
After five rounds of jelly tingles here is the straightforward rundown.
What works well:
- Immediate post rinse smoothness and reduced rough patches after the first use
- Tingling stays in the comfortable zone and calming extracts keep redness in check
- Plays nicely with follow up moisturizers so no unexpected pilling or dryness
What to consider:
- Brightening effect plateaus after a couple of sessions so results may feel modest over time
- Mild acids still mean patch testing is wise for very sensitive or compromised skin
- Price per ounce is on the higher side compared with similar at home exfoliating masks
My final thoughts
After five carefully timed sessions I am comfortable pegging Super Reboot Resurfacing Mask at a solid 7/10. It is a dependable chemical polish that nudges dull skin toward clarity without the drama of flaking or post treatment dryness. If your main concern is uneven texture or the occasional congestion flare up and you enjoy a quick wash off format, this will likely feel satisfying. If you are chasing aggressive brightening or major pigment correction you might find yourself wishing for a bit more muscle. I would recommend it to a friend with normal to combination skin who wants a gentle maintenance mask but I would steer someone with very sensitive skin or severe blemishes toward something milder or more targeted.
Having rotated through more resurfacing pots, jars and tubes than I care to admit, I feel I gave Super Reboot a fair chance. It behaves politely, it delivers immediate smoothness and it never once left me blotchy the next morning. That said, the glow curve levels off faster than the marketing language implies so the wow factor is moderate rather than mind blowing. In other words, it is good skincare, not sorcery.
If you are curious yet still shopping around, a few alternatives I have actually emptied come to mind. Deascal’s Pink Clay Glow Mask is an excellent allrounder that manages to exfoliate, clear pores and brighten in one tidy step while staying friendly to every skin type and wallet. On nights when I need a straightforward acid top-up, The Ordinary’s Salicylic Acid 2% Masque offers no frills clarity at a fraction of the cost. For a mineral rich option that mops up oil without over drying, Innisfree’s Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask remains a bathroom shelf classic. Finally, when I crave a more luxe at home facial, Tata Harper’s Resurfacing Mask serves up a gentle enzymatic tingle with a botanical twist that leaves skin noticeably radiant.
Before you slather anything new on your face, remember the basic housekeeping: patch test behind the ear or along the jawline, especially if acids are involved. Sorry to sound like an over protective parent but a little caution beats a week of irritation. Results from any resurfacing mask are also temporary so keep at it if you want that fresh finish to stick around.
