What is SkinCeuticals Micro-Exfoliating Scrub?
SkinCeuticals Micro-Exfoliating Scrub is a mild exfoliating gel that SkinCeuticals describes as gentle enough for daily use. Hydrated silica provides mild, even mechanical exfoliation, polishing away dead surface cells, excess oil and debris, while glycerin and aloe barbadensis leaf extract hydrate and soften so skin does not feel stripped afterward. It cleanses, purifies pores and smooths the surface in one step, and suits normal, oily, combination and dry skin. Once daily, massage a small amount onto a wet face and neck with a light circular motion, rinse with warm water and pat dry. Available at SkinCrew in 150 ml ($40).

The problem
Dead cells collect on the surface of the skin and leave it looking dull and feeling rough, and serums and moisturizers sit on top of that layer. Many face scrubs deal with it using large, jagged particles that feel harsh and leave skin tight and red. People who like the instant smoothness of a physical exfoliant often cannot find one mild enough to use regularly.
A physical exfoliant gentle enough for every day.
Micro-Exfoliating Scrub uses fine hydrated silica suspended in a cushioning gel to sweep the surface evenly rather than scratch it. Glycerin attracts water and aloe softens as you massage, so the skin is polished and hydrated together. It rinses clean, purifies pores and leaves the face smooth and ready for the antioxidant serums and corrective products that follow.

SkinCeuticals Micro-Exfoliating Scrub: gentle daily polishing for smoother, softer skin
SkinCeuticals Micro-Exfoliating Scrub is a gel-based face scrub built for regular use rather than an occasional deep scrub. Its exfoliating particles are hydrated silica, which gently sweeps the skin's surface to lift dead cells, excess oil and debris, while the gel base cleanses and purifies pores. The effect is immediate: skin feels smoother as soon as you rinse.
Hydration is built into the same step. Glycerin, a humectant, attracts water to the skin and helps retain it, and aloe barbadensis leaf extract adds a cooling, softening feel. SkinCeuticals lists the scrub as free of parabens, soap, fragrance, dyes and alcohol, and suitable for normal, oily, combination and dry skin. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized SkinCeuticals US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why Micro-Exfoliating Scrub Stands Out
- Mild, even exfoliation. Hydrated silica gently sweeps the skin's surface to lift and remove dead cells, excess oil and debris. SkinCeuticals describes the exfoliation as mild and even, and gentle enough for daily use.
- Hydrates while it polishes. Glycerin attracts water to the skin and helps retain moisture, and aloe softens, so the surface feels smooth and comfortable after rinsing.
- Cleanser and exfoliant in one. The gel cleanses, purifies pores and exfoliates in a single step, which keeps a morning or evening routine short.
- Supports a healthy skin barrier. SkinCeuticals formulates the scrub to exfoliate while promoting a healthy skin barrier, the opposite of the harsh, stripping scrub experience many people expect.

Who Micro-Exfoliating Scrub Is For
A strong match for
- Normal, oily, combination and dry skin that looks dull or feels rough
- People who prefer the instant smoothness of a physical exfoliant
- Anyone who finds traditional face scrubs too harsh for regular use
- Those who want exfoliation and cleansing in a single step
Tolerance and skin type
SkinCeuticals lists Micro-Exfoliating Scrub for normal, oily, combination and dry skin and notes that exfoliation may be too much for sensitized skin, for which it suggests Gentle Cleanser. It is not intended for makeup removal. Use light pressure and avoid the eye area.

SkinCeuticals Micro-Exfoliating Scrub FAQ
What does SkinCeuticals Micro-Exfoliating Scrub do?
Micro-Exfoliating Scrub is a mild exfoliating gel that cleanses, purifies pores and polishes away dead skin cells. Hydrated silica provides the mild, even exfoliation, while glycerin and aloe barbadensis leaf extract hydrate and soften, so skin feels smooth rather than stripped.
How often should I use Micro-Exfoliating Scrub?
SkinCeuticals directs once-daily use and describes the scrub as gentle enough for daily use. If your skin is on the delicate side, start with a few times a week and build up as it stays comfortable. Always use light pressure and a circular motion.
How do you use SkinCeuticals Micro-Exfoliating Scrub?
Apply a small amount to a wet face and neck and massage with a light circular motion. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. In the morning follow with a vitamin C serum and sunscreen, and in the evening with corrective products and moisturizer.
Is Micro-Exfoliating Scrub suitable for sensitive skin?
SkinCeuticals lists it for normal, oily, combination and dry skin, and notes that exfoliation may be too much for sensitized skin. For more sensitive skin the brand suggests Gentle Cleanser instead. If your skin is reactive, choose a non-exfoliating cleanser.
Does Micro-Exfoliating Scrub remove makeup?
No. SkinCeuticals states the scrub is not intended for makeup removal and recommends Simply Clean for that step. Remove makeup first, then use the scrub on wet skin to exfoliate and cleanse the pores.
What is the difference between Micro-Exfoliating Scrub and Glycolic Renewal Cleanser?
Micro-Exfoliating Scrub exfoliates mechanically, with fine hydrated silica particles you massage over the skin. Glycolic Renewal Cleanser exfoliates chemically, with 8% glycolic acid (free acid value) in a foaming gel, and SkinCeuticals does not recommend it for sensitive skin. Choose by whether you prefer a physical or an acid exfoliant.
Is SkinCrew an authorized SkinCeuticals retailer in the US?
Yes. SkinCrew is an Authorized SkinCeuticals US Retailer and sources every unit directly from SkinCeuticals, so Micro-Exfoliating Scrub arrives fresh, authentic and in current packaging, with fast US shipping.
