SkinCeuticals Micro-Exfoliating Scrub | Hydrated Silica Facial Exfoliating Scrub

The SkinCeuticals Micro-Exfoliating Scrub is a smoothing face exfoliating scrub with hydrated silica that effectively cleanses pores and exfoliates to hydrate, soften, and visibly improve skin texture. Unlike harsh physical scrubs with jagged ingredients (walnut shells, apricot kernels) that can cause micro-tears, Micro-Exfoliating Scrub uses spherical hydrated silica particles for gentle, controlled physical exfoliation.

At Le Petit Spa in Charlotte, NC, we recommend Micro-Exfoliating Scrub as the occasional physical exfoliation addition for clients whose routines are otherwise acid-free. While most of our clients use acid-based daily exfoliation (in cleansers, toners, or serums), some prefer or supplement with physical exfoliation 1–2 times per week for an immediate smoothing boost.
