Description
What it is
The TX-Spray brings the Peel Shot idea to the body. It is a gel-type exfoliator in a spray bottle: you mist it onto dry skin, rub gently so it lifts dull surface cells, then rinse it off in the shower. The formula pairs exfoliating acids with tranexamic acid (the “TX” in its name) and niacinamide, two ingredients widely used in Korean care for the look of dark spots and uneven tone. The brand lists the back, chest, shoulders, elbows, underarms and buttocks as target areas, where rough patches and marks are common and hard to reach with a jar product. The bottle holds 200 ml (6.76 fl oz).
Key ingredients
- Tranexamic acid: a brightening ingredient chosen for the look of dark spots and discolouration.
- Niacinamide: vitamin B3, for a more even-looking tone.
- Glycolic acid (AHA), gluconolactone (PHA) and capryloyl salicylic acid: exfoliants that loosen rough, dull surface cells.
- 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid: a stable vitamin C derivative for brightness.
- Hexylresorcinol: another tone-evening ingredient used in brightening care.
- Nine forms of hyaluronic acid: hydration so the skin does not feel stripped after rinsing.
- Bisabolol and centella asiatica extract: calming ingredients.

How to use
- Spray an appropriate amount onto dry skin on the area you want to treat.
- Rub gently with your palm in small circles. Soft flakes can form as the gel works; no need to scrub hard.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Apply a body lotion after the shower.
Tip: start once or twice a week and increase only if your skin stays comfortable. Protect treated areas from the sun, especially the shoulders and chest in summer.
Who it suits
The TX-Spray suits people who deal with rough elbows and knees, bumpy or dull skin on the back and arms, or marks on the body after breakouts, ingrown hairs or friction. The spray format makes it easier than a jar product for hard-to-reach areas like the back. For the face, the brand’s rinse-off peels are a better fit; compare them in our Peel Shot White Rice vs Black Rice comparison.
Who should be careful
For external use only and only as directed. Do not use on broken, irritated, sunburned or freshly shaved or waxed skin, and avoid the eyes; do not spray toward the face. Stop and consult a physician if irritation occurs, and keep out of reach of children. It contains several acids and fragrance, so people with very reactive or eczema-prone skin, and anyone who is pregnant, should check with a health professional first.
Patch test first. Apply a small amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 to 48 hours before using it on larger areas.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to rinse it off?
Yes. It is a rinse-off exfoliator: spray, rub, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Can I use it on my face?
It is designed for the body. Use a facial exfoliator such as the Peel Shot ampoules on the face, and never spray toward the eyes.
Does it help with bumpy skin on the arms?
Its acids can make rough, bumpy areas feel smoother with regular use. Persistent bumps (keratosis pilaris) are a skin condition; a dermatologist can confirm and suggest a treatment.
How long before dark marks look lighter?
Texture feels smoother after the first uses. Marks fade slowly, over several weeks of regular use with sun protection.
