A deep-cleansing physical exfoliant that uses walnut shell powder and corn kernel meal to buff away dullness and surface debris. Prunus armeniaca fruit extract provides a familiar scent in a formula that leans heavily on mechanical exfoliation to smooth out rough patches. This is a classic for a reason, but it's a vigorous scrub—save it for when you need a serious reset on texture rather than a daily wash, and keep it away from any active breakouts.
