It smells just like a juicy, fresh watermelon. And it does start to work after six days or so. I left the booties on for about two-ish hours. My skin was never irritated! The results were noticeable. And this product is very affordable too. I say give it a try if you're new to foot peels, and you want to do a gentle version.
It took a while to start peeling - almost two weeks from start to finish to complete the peeling. And I felt like it didn't peel as well as Oh K! Green apple version. The booties do leak if you prop your feet up at all. I put socks on over them, and that helped!!
