Exfoliants

Face Reality Antioxidant Scrub is a sulfate-free, creamy cleanser with natural jojoba beads to exfoliate dead skin without irritation. Designed for acne-prone skin, it removes dull buildup while delivering antioxidant protection, leaving skin smooth, refreshed, and ready for the next step in your routine. Green tea extract offers antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and oil-regulating benefits.

More than just a scrub, this formula also cleanses and nourishes. Jojoba beads glide across the skin without tearing or over-stripping, while botanical extracts and vitamins help strengthen and support the skin barrier. It’s ideal for those who want a deeper clean without compromising sensitivity.

This scrub is specifically formulated to be non-comedogenic and acne-safe, with beads gentle enough for acne-prone skin. It is free of pore-clogging ingredients, artificial fragrance, and sulfates, making it a favorite among Face Reality Acne Experts for both face and body use. It is also a good option if your skin cannot use AHAs or BHAs.

Used once daily or a few times a week (depending on your routine), the Antioxidant Scrub helps maintain a smoother, more even texture while minimizing the risk of clogged pores. It is a simple yet effective way to enhance your regimen and support skin clarity. Massage it gently into damp skin for 30 to 60 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water.

Face Reality Acne Face and Body Scrub is a dual-action physical exfoliant formulated for acne-prone skin. It gently buffs away pore-clogging buildup on the face, chest, and back while supporting clear, smooth skin, helping you get ahead of congestion without causing irritation. Massage a small amount into damp skin with a light lather, without rubbing hard.

This formula pairs hydrating ingredients with non-abrasive natural cellulose beads, which keeps exfoliation gentle on your skin barrier. It is free of pore-clogging oils and sulfates, making it safe to use a few times per week on acne-prone or sensitive skin. It suits oily and combination skin especially well.

This is not just a face wash; it is an active acne step. With benzoyl peroxide, it kills acne-causing bacteria and unclogs pores. Glycerin maintains hydration while biodegradable cellulose beads provide gentle exfoliation, smoothing texture and helping other actives work more effectively. It is especially helpful for clogged pores and blackheads that are not inflamed.

Trusted by Face Reality Acne Experts, this scrub works well on chest and back acne. It is powerful enough to target keratin plugs and breakouts on tougher body areas, yet gentle enough for careful use on the face when appropriate. After massaging it in, rinse with tepid water, pat dry, and finish with your eye cream, serum, and moisturizer.

Vivant Daily Repair Pads help lift surface buildup and clear pore congestion that can lead to blackheads and breakouts. By exfoliating both the surface and within the pore, they support cleaner-looking skin and reduce the accumulation of debris that contributes to ongoing congestion, especially in oil-prone or combination areas.

Designed to support both inflamed and non-inflamed acne, these pads help keep breakouts under control without an aggressive approach. Mandelic acid gently exfoliates and clears pores, while salicylic acid penetrates into pores to help reduce breakouts. They are especially helpful for combination acne, where some areas need pore clearing while others require a more balanced, skin-respecting approach.

Regular use helps refine rough or uneven skin texture caused by buildup, acne, or sluggish cell turnover. The combination of gentle exfoliation and skin-conditioning ingredients improves the look and feel of the skin over time through steady, everyday renewal. Lactic acid helps smooth texture and supports the skin's natural water balance.

Vivant Daily Repair Pads are especially helpful for men and teenagers who want results without a complicated routine. The single-step format makes them easy to use consistently, even for those new to skincare. They help remove sweat, oil, and buildup that contribute to breakouts, making them a practical option for active lifestyles, sports, and post-workout care while keeping skin clear and balanced.

Peptide Micro Scrub uses professional-grade corundum crystals to buff away dead skin cells while respecting the surface of your skin. It leaves your skin feeling exceptionally soft and visibly refreshed. These fine aluminum oxide crystals smooth texture and help the serums and moisturizer you apply next absorb more effectively.

This formula delivers the smoothing benefits of microdermabrasion in a cream-based scrub you can use at home. It is safe, effective, and well suited to refining skin texture on the face, neck, chest, or anywhere else that feels rough or dull. Use it once or twice a week after cleansing, massaging evenly before rinsing.

While exfoliating, Peptide Micro Scrub also infuses skin with actives like acetyl hexapeptide-8 (a wrinkle-reducing peptide), vitamin C, vitamin E, and a blend of minerals like copper and zinc. These ingredients help protect, firm, and replenish the skin barrier post-exfoliation. Acetyl hexapeptide-8 is a neuropeptide known for softening expression lines by relaxing facial tension.

Whether your skin is dull, flaky, or just craving a polished finish, this scrub is designed to be gentle enough for most skin types. You can use it on the face or anywhere on the body needing a little smoothing and softening. On rough areas of the body, you can use it up to three times a week.

GlyMed Exfoliating Cleanser helps address acne at its source by clearing pore congestion and removing excess oil. The combination of salicylic acid and gentle exfoliating beads works to lift buildup that can lead to breakouts. This dual-action approach helps reduce clogged pores while keeping acne-prone skin cleaner and more balanced.

Salicylic acid penetrates into the pore to dissolve oil and debris that contribute to breakouts and congestion. At the same time, gentle exfoliating beads help remove surface buildup that can block pores and slow healthy cell turnover. Together, these actions support clearer pores and healthier skin renewal.

Regular use helps refine uneven texture caused by acne, oil buildup, and sluggish cell turnover. By clearing both surface buildup and pore congestion, the skin gradually appears smoother, brighter, and more balanced. Many people notice that their skin feels fresher and looks clearer as excess oil and impurities are reduced.

This cleanser is especially helpful for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types that struggle with congestion or recurring breakouts. It fits well into routines designed to control oil and maintain clearer pores, making it a practical daily cleanser for those managing active acne or persistent buildup.

Plated Exosome Enhancer Daily Prep Pads are the first and only prep pads formulated for exosome compatibility. Most toners and peel pads contain ingredients that disrupt exosome integrity, stripping the skin or introducing harsh acids that impair the delicate lipid bilayer that makes exosomes work. These pads take the opposite approach: enzyme-based exfoliation, barrier support, and microbiome care that clears the skin surface and optimizes the conditions for the Plated serum that follows. More targeted than a toner. More gentle than a peel pad.

The choice to use enzymes rather than acids in these pads is a deliberate formulation decision based on how exosomes work. Exosomes are nanosized vesicles with a lipid bilayer outer shell that must remain intact for the growth factors and antioxidants inside to reach the skin effectively. Harsh acids can disrupt that shell before it penetrates. Enzymes exfoliate the dead cells that create a barrier to absorption without introducing any chemistry that interferes with exosome structure, keeping the pathway to the skin clear and the exosome investment protected.

PHAs and maltobionic acid are the gentlest members of the hydroxy acid family, and their inclusion here is intentional. Their larger molecular size limits how deeply they penetrate, keeping their activity at the surface level where prep work needs to happen without disrupting the barrier or creating inflammation. Maltobionic acid adds antioxidant protection alongside its exfoliating activity, which directly addresses the oxidative stress that compromises skin renewal and undermines the exosome investment over time.

Exosomes perform best in a balanced skin environment. The barrier and microbiome support complex in these pads addresses that directly: niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, regulates oil, and helps maintain hydration; Bifida Ferment Lysate, a probiotic-derived ingredient, supports the skin microbiome and enhances barrier resilience; and ectoin, a stress-protection molecule derived from extremophile microorganisms, protects skin cells against environmental stressors and oxidative damage. This combination ensures the skin surface is not just clean but actively supported to receive and respond to the exosomes applied after.

Environ Tri Bio-Botanical Revival Masque is an advanced at-home peel that combines three plant-derived acids, lactic, mandelic, and asiatic, to refine texture, fade pigmentation, and support skin resilience. Often referred to as a facelift in a jar, it can be used as a 10 to 20 minute mask or applied overnight for a more intensive effect. Best used in conjunction with Environ vitamin A moisturizers.

Most acid treatments rely on a single ingredient to do all the work. This masque combines three distinct acids that each address a different concern simultaneously, hydration, pigmentation, and regeneration, rather than relying on one mechanism alone. This layered approach is part of what gives the formula its reputation as a comprehensive at-home peel rather than a single-purpose exfoliant.

Lactic acid is a gentle alpha hydroxy acid known for increasing the look of hydration in the skin while it exfoliates, which is unusual for an acid this effective. It also helps lighten the appearance of pigmented marks over time, addressing two common concerns, dehydration and discoloration, in a single ingredient. This is part of why the masque feels less harsh than many acid treatments.

Mandelic acid is included specifically for its ability to rejuvenate the appearance of pigmented areas, along with a gentle antibacterial benefit that makes it useful for breakout-prone skin as well. Combined with the other two acids in the formula, it contributes to smoother, more even-looking texture and a visibly brighter complexion with consistent use over several weeks.

Environ Sebu-Clear Masque is a clay-based acid cream mask combining lactic acid and salicylic acid to help clear the appearance of existing breakouts, decongest pores, and remove excess surface oil. With antiseptic tea tree oil and gentle exfoliation, it leaves skin looking visibly clearer and smoother without stripping it. Use every second or third evening. Contains salicylic acid, so avoid if allergic to aspirin.

This masque combines two complementary acids to address breakouts from different angles. Lactic acid gently loosens the bonds between dead skin cells at the surface, while salicylic acid penetrates into the pore lining to dissolve oil and debris. Together they help clear the appearance of congestion and existing breakouts without the harsh stripping effect of single-acid treatments.

Magnesium aluminum silicate, a mineral clay, helps absorb excess surface oil and impurities while the masque works. This clay base is what gives the formula its decongesting effect, drawing out buildup that contributes to breakouts and a dull, congested appearance, while the rest of the formula works to keep the skin from feeling stripped or overly dry.

Australian tea tree oil brings antiseptic and antibacterial properties to the formula, helping to support the skin's clarity alongside the acid exfoliation. This is paired with vitamin E for additional antioxidant support, helping the skin feel calmer and more balanced during the exfoliation process rather than irritated or aggravated.

Marini ResurFace Peel Pads are pre-soaked pads formulated with four acids and soothing botanical extracts to resurface skin, refine texture, and restore brightness in one weekly step. They deliver concentrated exfoliation that creates visible results while building cumulative improvements over time. Use one pad once or twice a week on clean, dry skin.

Rough texture and enlarged-looking pores often share one cause, a buildup of dead skin cells. ResurFace Pads dissolve that buildup with four acids that work at different depths, clearing the surface and the pore lining at once. After a single use, skin feels smoother, and with weekly use, texture refines and pores appear smaller.

Fine lines are more visible when the skin's surface is uneven or when the skin has lost density and hydration just beneath the surface. ResurFace Pads address the surface element through exfoliation, helping lines appear softer and skin appear smoother immediately after use. With regular weekly use, the cumulative effect of accelerated cell turnover helps the skin maintain a more youthful surface texture over time.

Dullness often develops when dead cells accumulate on the surface and light no longer reflects evenly off the skin. It is also one of the concerns that responds best to regular exfoliation. ResurFace Pads remove that layer efficiently, revealing the more luminous skin beneath. Skin often looks brighter after the first use, with tone becoming more even over time.

Mint Renewal White Sand Body Polish is a dual-texture body exfoliant combining volcanic rock and Bora Bora sand with sugar and salt to slough away rough, dry skin. Cooling peppermint and nourishing oils leave skin smooth, polished, and refreshed without stripping. Used a maximum of twice weekly, it is recommended for all skin types. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Dead skin cells accumulate on the body over time, creating rough patches, dullness, and uneven texture. Mint Renewal combines volcanic rock, Bora Bora sand, and pumice with sugar and salt for a dual-action physical exfoliation that buffs away this buildup. Skin feels immediately smoother and looks more polished after a single use, with continued improvement from twice-weekly application.

Peppermint oil delivers an instant cooling sensation that wakes up tired skin while providing antiseptic and antibacterial properties that help keep skin clear and balanced. The cooling effect also soothes minor irritation and inflammation during the exfoliation process, making the experience as comfortable as it is effective. Combined with rosemary leaf oil, this scrub turns a routine exfoliation step into an invigorating sensory ritual.

Physical scrubs can leave skin feeling stripped if they are not balanced with nourishing ingredients. Mint Renewal counters this with coconut oil, jojoba seed oil, and shea butter that condition the skin during the scrubbing process, replenishing moisture rather than depleting it. Skin is left feeling soft and hydrated immediately after rinsing rather than tight or dry, which is what makes regular use sustainable.

The Epicutis Bodycare Simplified Set brings together the Lipid Body Treatment, a limited-edition Body Scrub, and two essential accessories for a complete body care ritual built on the same research-backed science that defines Epicutis face care. The Lipid Body Treatment delivers up to 24 hours of hydration alongside firming and skin-smoothing actives, while the limited-edition Body Scrub combines sugar crystals, rice powder, HYVIA, and Hinoki wood oil in a showerless exfoliating formula that melts into the skin without residue. The included application spatula and lymphatic body brush complete the ritual with tools that support clean application and targeted circulation. No steps missing. No products to hunt for separately.

Most body moisturizers sit on the skin’s surface. The Lipid Body Treatment works at the barrier level through HYVIA, a patented molecule that delivers fatty acids into the skin rather than coating it, and a ceramide complex that replenishes the lipid structures the barrier needs to hold moisture in. Hydroxyethyl Urea adds a humectant layer that draws and holds water without the sticky feel of glycerin-heavy formulas, and the combination sustains hydration for up to 24 hours with a single application. The gel texture absorbs quickly and leaves no residue.

The firming and tightening benefits of the Lipid Body Treatment come from a specific botanical active complex rather than from surface-level ingredients that create temporary tightening through film-forming. Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract firms by addressing the underlying appearance of skin laxity. Lychee Seed Extract and Caffeine work together on the appearance of fat tissue thickness and neovascularization. Glucosyl Hesperidin stimulates capillary circulation, which clients often notice as a mild warmth during first applications. These are not cosmetic claims layered onto a basic moisturizer. They are the primary function of the formula.

The limited-edition Epicutis Body Scrub was originally developed as a professional showerless exfoliating treatment for use in spas and clinics without shower facilities. The formula combines sugar crystals and rice powder for dual-action physical exfoliation that lifts dead skin cells and surface residue gently, with HYVIA delivering omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids alongside Hinoki wood oil to nourish and condition the skin as the exfoliation happens. The result is a scrub that melts into the skin rather than stripping it, leaving the surface smooth, refreshed, and primed to absorb the Lipid Body Treatment that follows.
