A dual-action face scrub that combines salicylic acid with physical exfoliants like walnut shell powder and corn kernel meal to target blackheads and surface buildup. It’s a classic physical scrub that doesn't mess around, offering a deep, gritty texture for those who prefer feeling the exfoliation process. Use it when your skin feels congested or rough, but keep the pressure light—the combination of BHA and grains does the heavy lifting for you.

rough but effective

Cleared my blackheads but the scrub is too harsh for everyday use. My skin felt tight after.

meh, not for me

The salicylic acid helped a bit with breakouts, but the walnut shell powder felt too abrasive on my skin.
