Product Reviews

This exfoliating cleanser is built around sucrose grains, which act as the primary exfoliant. The texture is a thick gel with small, rounded particles that dissolve as you rub them in — clearly designed to minimize the usual downsides of physical exfoliators. There are no sharp edges, no harsh scrub effect, and it does feel mildly moisturizing rather than stripping, though it’s not especially rich or cushiony either.
As a cleanser, it’s only moderately effective: it won’t cut through long-wearing SPF or heavy makeup, so it’s best reserved for morning use or lighter cleansing days. For a physical exfoliant, it’s gentle — and it deserves credit for that — but I wouldn’t use it every day. It’s one of those products that impresses more for what it doesn’t do wrong than what it excels at. Still, chemical exfoliants outperform physical ones in almost every way, and this doesn’t offer a compelling reason to reach for it instead.
The ingredient list is a mix of humectants (glycerin, butylene glycol), mild surfactants, and a few fruit extracts — strawberry, blackcurrant, grape seed oil — that bring some antioxidant potential, though likely more for story than function in a rinse-off formula. The formula also includes a load of (potentially sensitizing) fragrance components — parfum, limonene, linalool, citral, benzyl alcohol — which seems unnecessary in a scrub where the grains already provide sensory feedback.
It’s a better-than-expected physical exfoliator that manages to avoid the usual pitfalls, but as a cleanser it’s underwhelming, and as an exfoliant, it’s simply not the best format available.
