Shop Face Scrubs & Exfoliating Cleansers


Scrub-a-dub-dub! It's time to get exfoliating! Whether you're searching for a face scrub that will serve as your once-a-week exfoliator, or a daily exfoliating face scrub that will be your ride-or-die all week long, we truly have the best range of exfoliating face cleansing products, from physical to chemical exfoliation - and both, combined!


What is the best exfoliating face scrub?


The best face scrub is the one that you'll use! But if you're looking for a great place to start, we'd highly recommend checking out some of our best-selling exfoliating face scrubs, such as the eco-conscious Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Refill, the budget-friendly Skinstitut Glycolic Scrub 14% (pro tip: this one is also great as a body scrub!) or the minty-fresh Alpha-H Micro Super Scrub with 12% Glycolic Acid.


Why should I use a face scrub?


Regular exfoliation, as through the use of a face scrub, ensure dead skin cells or uneven skin texture is sloughed away from the surface of your skin, ensuring your best and brightest skin can shine out! Using a face scrub regularly can also help to stimulate your skin to work it's best, and can even help to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone. Further, having a clean slate means that your serums and moisturisers are able to better penetrate the skin, meaning you'll get more bang-for-your-buck when it comes to the more active parts of your skincare routine!


What's a great face scrub for men?


Generally (but of course, not always!) men have a slightly thicker skin, that may require more intensive or frequent exfoliation in order to feel balanced. A great option for those requiring more exfoliation include Clinique All About Clean 2-in-1 Cleansing + Exfoliating Jellya gentle, deep-cleaning jelly cleanser and exfoliator that helps to remove buildup from pollution, dirt, and other impurities.


What's the best exfoliating cleanser?


There are so many incredible exfoliating cleansers to choose from, but some of our best selling exfoliating cleansers include Dermalogica Daily Glycolic Cleanser for a gentle, yet effective form of daily exfoliation, SkinCeuticals LHA Cleansing Gel as a great option for skin facing both ageing, and adult acne, or asap daily exfoliating facial scrub for a product that combines physical with chemical exfoliation into a cult-favourite product that can be used daily, as the name suggests, or a few times a week, depending on your level of skin sensitivity. 


What's the difference between cleanser and exfoliator?


Cleansing is something you'll do daily, and it helps to clear the skin of excess sebum, oil, dirt and grime for the day, as well as any makeup or SPF you wear. For many people, exfoliating will only happen a couple times a week. Exfoliators, or face scrubs, seeking to buff away a top layer of dead skin, stimulating the skin underneath to do its job more effectively. 


If you have oily or combination skin, you may feel like you want to combine exfoliators and cleansers and use an everyday cleanser that has an exfoliating effect. These exfoliating cleansers can be found within this category, and are often a little more gentle than exfoliators or face scrubs intended for weekly or bi-weekly use. 


Do you use cleanser before exfoliating?


Yes! If you're using a dedicated cleanser, and a dedicated face scrub or exfoliator, you'll want to ensure you start with a clean slate. In this instance, make sure your face has been cleared from all sebum, makeup and SPF by going in with your gel, cream, oil - or whichever cleanser texture you prefer! - and then use your exfoliator as the second step of your routine. Follow with some gentle, hydrating serums and moisturisers and you're good to go!
