Quick take
Adding an exfoliating step to a skincare routine usually comes down to format and how much skin you want to cover. The four options here span a facial acid peel, a spray exfoliant, an overnight body whip, and a two-piece set that covers both face and body. If you want one direct acid-based facial exfoliant, The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% High-Strength Peeling Solution for Brightening is the most straightforward choice. If you want a mist for hard-to-reach areas, Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Exfoliant Kojic Acid Turmeric Spray fits that step. Maelys Get-Dreamy Overnight Toning Body Whip gives you a leave-on body moisturizer, while the Body & Face Peel Shot Duo bundles a rice ampoule with a kojic/turmeric spray.

Product notes
Body & Face Peel Shot Duo Glow Rice Peeling Ampoule Kojic Acid & Turmeric spray
The most complete option in the group is also the one with the highest list price. It combines an 80ml white rice exfoliating ampoule and a 200ml kojic acid turmeric spray, so it covers both facial exfoliation and body/foot care. The ampoule is described as using rice bran water and niacinamide for gentle, fine-particle polishing, while the spray adds kojic acid, turmeric, and niacinamide for rough areas. Hyaluronic acid also appears among the active ingredients, which fits a brightening, hydrating routine. The trade-off is that you're paying for a two-piece system: if you only want one format, a single product will be a leaner purchase.
Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Exfoliant Kojic Acid Turmeric Spray
This spray is the only standalone mist in the lineup and lists glycolic acid as its active ingredient. The description also names kojic acid, turmeric, and niacinamide, so it reads as a brightening mist for knees, elbows, feet, underarms, and other uneven or rough spots. The all-natural ingredients listing and unisex department keep it flexible for shared routines. The limitation is format: a spray is a lighter layer than a serum or cream, so it won't double as a mask or overnight treatment.
The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% High-Strength Peeling Solution for Brightening
This is the most direct facial acid peel here. The serum formula pairs AHA and BHA with glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids, and the description calls it an at-home exfoliating facial for texture and pore congestion. It also lists vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free callouts and all skin types. The limitation is strength: the title says high-strength, so it suits someone who already knows their acid tolerance rather than a first-time peel user. It is a stronger step than the spray and body whip options in this set.
Maelys Get-Dreamy Overnight Toning Body Whip
This is the only leave-on body moisturizer in the set. The description centers on overnight hydration, smoother texture, natural brightening, and a more contoured appearance while you sleep. It is listed as a moisturizer, so it fits the end of a body routine rather than the exfoliating step. As a partner to a weekly peel or spray, it covers the nourishing side of the routine. The limitation is that the listed details focus on hydration and toning rather than a named acid or enzyme, so if your goal is removing dead skin, you'll still want an exfoliant elsewhere.
Final call by use case
Start with the $9 to $47.88 price spread, then match the format to the area you want to treat.
- Facial acid focus: The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% High-Strength Peeling Solution for Brightening.
- Face and body mist: Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Exfoliant Kojic Acid Turmeric Spray.
- Overnight body nourishment: Maelys Get-Dreamy Overnight Toning Body Whip.
- Full face plus body/feet system: Body & Face Peel Shot Duo Glow Rice Peeling Ampoule Kojic Acid & Turmeric spray.
If you want a single direct acid peel, The Ordinary serum is the most straightforward option. If you'd rather have one product that covers two formats, the Duo is the only set here that includes both a face ampoule and a body spray.
