Overview
Centellian 24 is a Korean skincare brand, and the FBM-SKU116 peeling gel is built around a Matcha-TECA complex. TECA refers to titrated extract of Centella asiatica, an ingredient associated in the skincare literature with soothing and skin barrier support. Matcha, derived from green tea, contributes antioxidant compounds. Together this positions the formula as a gentler exfoliant, though the physical rolling action of a peeling gel does most of the surface work.
At $28 for 150ml in a tube, the price-per-milliliter ratio is favorable compared to many mid-range peel products. The formula is listed as paraben-free, phthalate-free, and sulfate-free, covering the main chemical classes that cautious buyers typically screen for. It is suitable for all skin types and all skin tones.
With 211 reviews and a 4.6 rating, the product has strong early scores. The scent is listed as matcha peeling gel, which implies a mild green tea character rather than a conventional fragrance. For someone who wants a physical-style peeling gel with a soothing botanical focus, rather than an acid-forward formula, this is a compelling option at a reasonable size.

Performance notes
Peeling gels work primarily through physical action: when massaged across dry or damp skin, the gel formula binders roll up and lift surface dead cells. The Matcha-TECA complex in this formula adds an antioxidant layer via green tea polyphenols, which may help support the appearance of even, calm skin. Centella asiatica extract is widely studied in dermatological literature for its association with skin barrier function and visible redness reduction. The sulfate-free and paraben-free formulation reduces the likelihood of irritant responses during use.
What buyers say
A 4.6 rating from 211 reviewers is a strong signal for a product with a shorter market history. Buyers appear to respond positively to both the texture and the results from the peeling gel format. Monthly purchase volume is not reliably available for this product, so repeat purchase patterns are not yet fully established.

Frequently asked questions
What is a peeling gel and how does it differ from an acid peel?
A peeling gel is a physical exfoliant that is massaged onto skin, causing the product's polymer components to roll up and lift surface dead skin cells. An acid peel uses chemical actives like AHAs or BHAs to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells. Peeling gels are generally considered gentler and less likely to cause irritation, making them accessible for most skin types, but they do not penetrate as deeply as a well-formulated chemical exfoliant.
What is the Matcha-TECA complex and what does it do for skin?
Matcha-TECA is a blend combining matcha (green tea extract, which is rich in antioxidant polyphenols) with TECA, or titrated extract of Centella asiatica. Centella asiatica is a plant extract associated in the skincare research literature with supporting the appearance of calm, even skin and helping the skin barrier. Together the two ingredients provide antioxidant and soothing properties alongside the physical exfoliation delivered by the gel base.
Is this peel safe for sensitive skin?
Centellian 24 lists this gel as suitable for all skin types and the formula is free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and added fragrance compounds beyond the natural matcha character. Centella asiatica is generally considered a calming ingredient. That said, any new skincare product should be patch-tested first, and individual skin responses vary.
