Product overview
Description
Key Ingredients
The full ingredient list for this product, corroborated across two independent sources, is: Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Glycerin, Vitamin E, Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB), Cocamide DEA (CDEA), Sodium Chloride, Fatty Acid, Polyquaternium-10, Niacinamide, Apricot Scrub Beads, Disodium EDTA, Panthenol, Phenoxyethanol, DMDM Hydantoin, Triclosan, Color, and Flavor/Fragrance. Note: this product's marketing describes it as "rich in vitamins A and C," but the verified ingredient list contains only Vitamin E -- no Vitamin A or Vitamin C appears anywhere in the disclosed formula. This marketing claim should be treated as unsupported by the actual ingredient panel. Additionally, DMDM Hydantoin (a formaldehyde-releasing preservative) and Triclosan (an antibacterial agent facing increasing regulatory restriction in several countries) are present, and buyers with sensitivities to either should be aware before use.
Key Features
A physical face scrub for all skin types, using Apricot Scrub Beads as its exfoliating agent, combined with a cleansing surfactant base (Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), Niacinamide, and Panthenol for a soothing, hydrating finish.
Benefits
The Apricot Scrub Beads provide physical exfoliation to help remove dead skin cells and impurities. Niacinamide supports a more even-looking skin tone, and Panthenol offers hydration and soothing benefits. Despite marketing language claiming the product is "rich in vitamins A and C," the confirmed ingredient list shows only Vitamin E, so any brightening or antioxidant benefit attributed to vitamins A and C specifically should not be relied upon.
Who Can Use This Product
Marketed for all skin types, though those with sensitive or reactive skin should be cautious given the presence of sulfates, DMDM Hydantoin, and Triclosan, which can be irritating for some users. A patch test is recommended before first use. Not recommended for use on broken, sunburned, or actively irritated skin.
How to Use
Wet the face with lukewarm water, apply a small amount of scrub, and massage gently in circular motions avoiding the eye area for 30-60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. Use 2-3 times per week rather than daily, as physical scrubs can be abrasive with overuse.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or an allergic reaction develops, particularly given the presence of DMDM Hydantoin and Triclosan in the formula.
