I’m an exfoliant lover! When I find an exfoliator I love I have to brag about it. This AHA/BHA scrub is a MUST HAVE. I’ve been struggling with breakouts in my face, chest, and back since being pregnant. I use this exfoliator two to three times a week on my face and my body. This has helped with my texture, breakouts, and pigmentation.This is great to universal exfoliatant. It has a fine texture and as a citrus smell. It can be used as an exfoliating mask without massaging the microcrystalline into the skin. When you want to kick it up a notch you can massage those microcrystalline into the skin to buff away the dry and dead skill cells giving you that at home microdermabrasion.The biggest plus of this product is the size at an amazing price point. The squeeze tube contains 6.7 oz for $60. This is absolutely a deal breaker. As an esthetician I highly recommend this for personal and professional use.

As a retail beauty consultant of over twelve years, I love when I get to experience truly high performance skincare products. The AHA/BHA Brightening Scrub is a quality scrub product. This scrub did not dehydrate my skin. The exfoliating ingredients felt amazing on my skin and were very gentle, even though the scrub includes glycolic and salicylic acids. The scrub left my skin silky smooth and free of all of the dry, dead skin that was there before. My skin also looked much healthier and had a nice brightness to it. There are some citrus notes in here along with green tea extract that make this scent amazing. I have had some acne breakouts around my mouth in the last few weeks and this has helped to calm them down. I definitely recommend this scrub!

Exfoliation forms such an important part in one’s skincare and everyone should incorporate it into their skincare routine. I am a lover of chemical (enzymes or acids) exfoliation over physical (granular) exfoliation, for the pure reason I have sensitive cheeks and found them to work better for me. I have been using the AHA/BHA Brightening Scrub of Skinworx and was impressed with this exfoliator. It is a combination exfoliator, chemical and physical, but what makes this better than others is the use of microcrystalline cellulose (forms the cell walls of green plants) for physical exfoliation. Not only is it a gentle scrubbing agent, but it is biodegradable as well. Then the wonderful glycolic acid and salicylic acid helps with brightening and deeper exfoliation. The brightening Scrub additionally incorporates vitamins and hydrating ingredients as well. Considering my sensitive cheeks, I did dampen my face prior to use, although it is recommended to apply the product on dry skin and then did gentle rotations on my cheek area. There was no increased redness or sensitivity experienced and found the exfoliator did a very satisfactory job. My skin felt smoother to the touch and refreshed. This exfoliator can be used 2 to 3 times a week but I would recommend to start off slow and build it up dependent on your skin, especially if you are using other exfoliating ingredients such as retinol, etc. or have skin sensitivity. Due to the great large size of the product, I even used it on my body which provided an amazing overall smoothing.Within my 13+ years within the skin and medical aesthetic industry, I enjoy supporting smaller brands especially those that work. The Skinworx AHA/BHA Brightening Scrub is a great product which does what it claims, it is produced in FDA-regulated labs, has peer-reviewed literature formulations that are effectively delivered into the skin with low preservative levels. This product vs the others in its range does contain fragrance. Overall, a great product!

Lately im into liquid exfoliants but every now and then i pick up a physical exfoliant so i can get the scrub sensation. The skinworx aha/bha brightening scrub is strong with the inclusion of glycolic acid and salicylic acid together. I do not reccomend this for sensitive types or if you have any breakage on your skin because it will sting! That being said after using it your skin feels smooth and polished. I also used this on my body as well and it worked just as good. So if its too strong for your face use it elsewhere! I did notice the freckles on my face lightening up a little bit but with any brightening product i reccomend you have two others to supplement it because of how difficult it is to get rid of dark spots. Finally you should definitely wear sunscreen after using this.

As an Esthetician, I love trying new brands. Lately, I have been using Skinworx and have really come to like the products that I have tried. Skinworx makes high-performance skincare and its philosophy is all that. Their mantra is that self-care is not a luxury but a responsibility where self-care skincare rituals help your skin reflect the radiance of your inner light. This brand was started by an RN, MSN, and former wound care nurse specialist so it is very well thought out and formulated with medical-grade ingredients. Love that! I have been using their AHA/BHA Brightening Scrub one to two times a week and my skin has never been softer. This scrub has ingredients such as Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Vitamins A, C & E, Green Tea, and Co-Q10 which help to cleanse, exfoliate, and brighten. My hyperpigmentation is quickly fading and my typical minor breakouts are a thing of the past. This is one of the best scrubs I have ever used but do wish that the scrubbers were finer because these can do damage to the skin. My best advice is to scrub very gently when using this. The results are epic!I have been a licensed Esthetician in the state of Nevada for the past eight years. Skincare is my passion. In my free time, you will find me working my magic as Beauty Influencer, NeteR of NeteReviews. Don’t forget to apply SPF, y’all!

Hey everyone, I have been a cosmetologist for about 11 years. I have had my fair share of testing products and giving my brutality honest review. This Skinworx Brightening scrub is absolutely phenomenal. I myself tested the product and I also had my daughter test it on herself as well. We both used this product twice a week for our deep cleansing of our face. The product itself has a grainy texture to get deep into your pores to remove all the dirt and dead skin. This facial scrub is not your average cheap exfoliator. The price is $60, but trust me you will get the results your hoping for. Myself and my daughter gave this Skinworx AHA/BHA Brightening Scrub a 5 out of 5 stars. I know when our product runs out we will definitely be buying more since this is now a weekly routine in our house.

This AHA/BHA Brightening Scrub is really a nice scrub, although it contains Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid, it doesn’t feel strong and harsh on my skin. It’s a very gentle and effective scrub that helps to polish and eliminate dead skin cells as well as dirt and residue on the skin. A generous dollop amount of the scrub would do a throughly job cleansing and cleaning the skin. In less a minute or so after gently massaging, scrubbing the skin with the tips of my fingers and rinsing with warm water, what leaves behind is just a clean, soft and brighter looking skin. I really enjoy the soothing and calming benefits from this very well formulated formula. By taking a good care of my skin using this great product, my skin looks and feels a lot smoother, more bouncy and hydrated.

I love anything with AHA/BHA! I’m a licensed cosmetologist who loves skincare. Hair is my passion but when it comes to skincare I’m a complete product junkie. This product is my introduction to the brand Skinworx and I was excited to try the AHA BHA Brightening Scrub. I’m in my thirties and over the last couple years I’ve been trying to elevate my skin care products. In the past I’ve used a chemical aha bha exfoliant and was interested on the results I was get from a manual option. The ingredients in this scrub are a combination of various products I use. At first when using the Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub I experienced a little irritation to my skin with a few bumps after use. I was gentle with the application as this felt a bit more coarse than any scrub that I have used on my face. Confident in the product, I continued to use it every 2 to 3 days followed by the Phyto Correct Serum. My skin became accustom to the product and I no longer experienced irritation. I personally haven’t noticed any significant brightness to my skin yet but do like how my skin feels and will continue to use it.

I am Hendrika, and I had the opportunity to try and review this Skinworx AHA/BHA Brightening Scrub as a Verified Beautytap Expert and Beauty Content Creator/Influencer and as such I have 15+ years of experience with trying out skincare, hair care and cosmetic products. I was really excited to try this product from Skinworx as it has gently cleanses and exfoliates the skin to reveal brighter, soft skin. Especially during these colder months, my combination to dry and aging skin looks dull and feels dry. This brightening scrub is a perfect for my dry and dull winter skin. It is very easy to use. I apply a small amount of the scrub onto my dry skin and massage it gently into my skin in circular motions and then rinse with lukewarm water. My skin feels so clean, smooth, and soft afterwards. I love that this scrub does not make my skin feel tight or dry. My skin has a beautiful radiant glow and feels hydrated, supple and looks brighter. I do not experience any irritation or dryness. My skin feels soothed and calm because of the Green Tea Polyphenols. I use this scrub once or twice a week to give my skin a nice spa like treatment to keep my skin looking healthy and bright.

Skinworx AHa/BHA Brightenng scrub cleanses, exfoliates and brightens the skin. This product is great for anyone with hyperpigmentation and dullness to their skin. The main resurfacing active in this product is glycolic acid (10%) and salicylic acid (.5%). This may not be good option for someone with sensitive skin since glycolic acid molecules are the smallest and penetrate the skin the most, but it is great for someone who wants to tackle wrinkles.The only con about this product for me is the tiny micro-beads. It’s not too hard but I am always cautious if a product has beads or anything that can be abrasive to the skin. After washing the scrub off, It does leave my skin feeling soft and smooth. This product states that it should be used 2-3 times a week but I think it should only be used no more than 2 times a week.

Let me start with the fact that I love facial scrubs! So I was so excited to get a scrub from such this amazing brand, Skinworx. I love their plumper so I knew that I was in for a treat with their other products and this scrub did not disappoint. With my oily skin, I like to use a scrub at the max 3 times a week and I just loved the way my skin feels after using the Skinworx AHA/BHA Brightening Scrub. I immediately noticed smoother and brighter skin.The perfect blend of acids, vitamins, and green tea provides the skin with everything it needs to be exfoliated, brightened and yet soothed. It is a physical scrub and the granoles required a significant amount of movement and rubbing to exfoliate the skin, some were difficult to remove but it is nothing out of the ordinary when dealing with a physical scrub. The package for the scrub is large, making it a product that will last a while. I love using this scrub on my skin and definitely recommend it to anyone that needs a good exfoliant or is trying to fight dullness or discoloration.

Skinworx AHA/BHA Brightening Scrub is a great product to try, especially if you have oily or problem skin. It works well to thoroughly cleanse the skin, all while leaving your skin looking young and radiant. This scrub exfoliates the skin, getting rid of excess dirt and oil on the skin. It helps treat problem skin such as blemishes or clogged pores. I like the soothing feeling it provides my skin after using. I tried this product on me (who has sensitive dry skin) and my boyfriend (who has oily, problem skin) and could tell you that both of us noticed a difference in our skin after using. I noticed that my skin was not irritated as much using this scrub. I did not have any redness or flare ups after using. My skin felt radiant and soft. On my boyfriend, it helped treat some blemishes and clogged pores on his face. We could both see how his face was starting to clear up as he used this product. He even said that it made his face feel tight and smooth. He really enjoys using Skinworx AHA/BHA Brightening scrub now after seeing such quick changes in his skin. As a beauty influencer, as well as a beauty expert, I would recommend this product if you’re looking for something to help your skin get clear and look bright. My only downside is the price.

It has a natural citrus scent and cleanses the skin thoroughly without making the skin overly dry or tight (stripped). To me, it feels in consistency similar to sugar scrubs. It leaves the skin feeling smoother and looking much brighter. It produces only a little amount of suds and while I wanted to love this cleanser, I just couldn’t. It takes forever to rinse it off of the skin.

As a hairstylist and makeup artist of over 20 years, I am always on a mission to find the best products. I was ecstatic to try the Skinworx AHA/BHA Brightening Scrub. This is a scrub that improves the skin’s texture by removing dead cells. I just turned 40 and have definitely been noticing an increase in fine lines, lack luster appearance, and increased dryness so I couldn’t wait to try it. Upon arrival the packaging is lovely. It is a beautiful bottle, and luxurious to display. It can be used 2-3 times per week, leaving in for 1-2 minutes. After using this product I noticed my skin felt soft to the touch, more hydrated, and the texture looked smoother and more radiant. The Skinworx Brightening Scrub is phenomenal. I give this product five stars and would recommend

I’ve worked in the beauty and cosmetics retail industry going on 8 years now. I gave Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub a try. One thing that is excellent about this product is that it’s suitable for use on face and on body. I personally don’t take mechanical pealing to well on my facial skin (only chemical), but I did use Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub on my body, and I actually really loved it! Especially when I follow the specific instructions to use it on dry skin first, then wet my hands and rub some more, and then use more water to rub in as a soap and wash off – I would get amazing results. The feel is like my skin has been purified, but also nurtured. It is soft and radiant afterwards. The smell is very subtle, but pleasant. I would recommend this product to anyone.

The Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub is a facial scrub meant to target clients dealing with hyperpigmentation, skin discoloration and dullness and mimic a microdermabrasion facial. The formula includes glycolic and salicylic acid for cleansing, healing, correcting, and treating lackluster skin, as well as removing dead skin cells that interfere with oil drainage of the skin. I really liked the consistency of this formula because it’s thin enough that a little bit of the product (about a dime size) goes a long way, especially for scrubbing and exfoliating. Personally, I found that just a small amount was enough to give my face a gentle scrub because too much product felt a little too rough for me. One thing I didn’t like about this product was how messy the microfibers were. Even after multiple rinses, I still found the little beads in my hairline and around my nose. I also don’t suggest using a physical exfoliating product too often because they can be damaging to the skin barrier and can leave little cuts on your face.

I’m erika, I’ve been with Beautytap for close to 2 years. I have been a cosmetologist for 10+ years now, and I’ve been afforded the opportunity to try out a lot of products. One of my favorite parts about being an expert with beautytap is getting to try products I wouldn’t have otherwise had the chance to! Beautytap has been an incredible blessing in my life and I’m thrilled to share my experiences with others!I’ve been so happy with my results with this scrub. Most scrubs dry me out, leave me patchy and thirsty and just work in a way against me. This scrub was absolutely amazing, and I loved pairing it with my serum. This also worked really well over my acne and on top of the KP on my legs are arms. Such an amazing product and I highly recommend it!

I am absolutely loving Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub! As someone with combination skin that tends to be dull and congested, I have struggled to find a scrub that effectively exfoliates and brightens my skin without being too harsh. This scrub is a game-changer. It has a creamy, gentle formula that is packed with skin-loving ingredients like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) to help exfoliate and brighten the skin. It also contains nourishing plant extracts and oils to help soothe and hydrate the skin. The scrub has a pleasant, refreshing scent and a little goes a long way. I have noticed a significant improvement in the texture and tone of my skin since using this product. It has helped to reduce the appearance of dullness, uneven skin tone, and pores, and has left my skin looking more radiant and youthful. I highly recommend Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub to anyone looking for an effective, yet gentle, exfoliating solution.

I’m an aesthetician and have been in the beauty/aesthetics space for nearly three decades. I work one-on-one with clients in my aesthetic consulting business and address all types of skin concerns. One of the top conditions I’m consulted about is adult acne, which is a tricky condition that I often face with my primarily female clientele, as the troublesome twosome that is pimples and wrinkles go hand in hand with these women over 30. I believe that this cleanser will be a great recommendation for these individuals due to the combination of antiaging, clarifying, and brightening actives. This powerful and effective cleanser packs a one-two punch leaving skin clarified and smooth to the touch since it is both a mechanical and chemical exfoliant. When gently massaged into the skin, this finely milled facial scrub is ideal for those suffering from breakouts and/or textural concerns, as it contains both 10% Glycolic Acid and 0.5% Salicylic Acid, in addition to Green Tea Extract, and Vitamins A, C, and E (love the added antioxidants). Other beneficial ingredients including Arbutin and Co-Q10 join the party to ensure this scrub multi-tasks by exfoliating, brightening, calming, and soothing the skin. *Although this cleanser is not overly abrasive; I would still avoid using it while experiencing active pustules and/or inflamed skin.

I tend to shy away from physical scrubs because of how harsh they can be on the skin especially since I use a retinol and other forms of liquid active exfoliations. This 3-in-1 brightening scrub has changed my views on scrubs. This one is soft, creamy and very effective. It’s a cleanser, exfoliator, and brightener. Simply put, a microdermabrasion in a tube. It is an active so it’s best to only use it a few times a night and not paired with other actives. My skin was smoother and softer, pores were tighter, and face was glowing. I even used this scrub on the back of my hands and had the same reaction; smooth and soft. I appreciate the quality of the Skinworx brand. It’s Medspa quality and the way I can explain spending the money is to accept that I can pay less for a quality facial at home.

This may be just a “me” problem, but I didn’t realize this was a cleaner. I thought it was an exfoliant which was meant to be used as a separate step and I had to do a little digging on here to figure that out. BUT once I got my life together and learned how to use it properly, I really loved it! It’s definitely not an every day product, but if you’re struggling with dull skin, dryness, or texture, this is something you’re gonna want to integrate into your skincare routine ASAP! The combination of physical and chemical exfoliants provides a thorough and superb refresh that my skin DESPERATELY needs this time of year, and by exfoliating so effectively, it allows all of my following skincare products to also work effectively. My serums always sink into my skin right away after I use this, and I love that feeling!I’ve also noticed my skin becoming visibly brighter after every use– my skin is super dry and easily begins to lose its glow, especially in the harsh winter weather. I know I can count on this to take care of my skin and give me a pick-me-up without burning or causing sensitivity. I can’t say enough good things about it!

I love an exfoliating scrub that’s not too abrasive. This one in particular contains 0.5% salicylic acid and 10% glycolic acid, the latter of which is great percentages of AHA concentrate for effective exfoliation on a consistent basis, though you shouldn’t use this daily. And with CoQ10, it serves as an antioxidant to protect against environmental stressors. This scrub works well for me even though I have sensitive skin and isn’t painful to the face at all in comparison to other brands I’ve used (before I knew better). As a professional makeup artist and consumer, this is another new product fave that I can recommend to clients and stock for my own shelf. Blackheads on my nose appear to be fading and the quality of this product is actually visible on my skin’s surface.

Okay, I looooove this Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub a lot! My skin is immediately softer after using it in the shower. It totally cuts out the bumps I get on my arms and body and leaves my skin feeling smooth. It works great for the face but I prefer it for my body. The fact that it is formulated with 10% Glycolic acid and 0.5% Salicylic acid was a big selling point for me cause I absolutely love skincare products with Glycolic acid. My skin always looks and feels amazing after using Glycolic. The only thing that I did not love was the packaging with the screw off lid. I really wish they had chosen the twist lock tubes so you don’t have to remove the lid completely to access the product. By removing the lid completely, too much product comes out at once and it’s difficult with wet hands to get the lid on and off. All in all, I am a big fan of the Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub, but am requesting future packaging change.

A Brightening and exfoliating spa-like experience. As someone with a background in skincare and working in spas as an esthetician I quite like this product. While I enjoy the 10% glycolic and .5% salicylic acid I don’t generally gravitate towards physical exfoliators (scrubs) but sometimes I will spring for a dual exfoliating experience like this because I dig the sensation and the feeling of really getting in there with a tactile facial treatment (and this definitely gives you not only that ala gommage spa-like experience but also the result of brighter softer skin)! I find this to be more gentle than say a topical retinoid serum like the one I’ve been using so I reach for this product about once a week to gently slough off any dead dry skin and give my problem areas an exfoliating boost. As always I love the addition of green tea polyphenols as well as vitamin a, c, and e and I will gladly welcome antioxidants in every step of my skin care all day. I will say when I use this scrub I don’t work it in for the full two minutes because my skin is sensitive so I honestly massage it in for more like 30 seconds and leave it sitting while I’m in the shower for 3 minutes as an exfoliating mask so the glycolic and salicylic can do their thing and then I rinse off thoroughly. It’s not the easiest scrub to get off so I would suggest using this in the shower as opposed to an over the sink situation. I would recommend this for any and all genders (but probably the most for men because I know they typically love a tactile skincare experience like a scrub can provide). I think my boyfriend enjoys my facial scrubs more than I do and he certainly reaches for them more! Overall another great product from Skinworx.

This is a luxury microdermabrasion facial scrub that helps to brighten and exfoliate the skin while also cleansing and soothing as well. This is suitable for oily combo skin types with blemishes, scarring, hyperpigmentation and texture problems. It helps with any loss of tightness and keeps skin feeling smooth and soft to the touch. It’s free of fragrance and contains a blend of 10% glycolic acid, 0.5% Salicylic acid, USP, Arbutin, Bisabolol, Vitamins A, vitamin C, vitamin e, Green tea extract, and Co-Q10. I personally didn’t use it on my face because glycolic acid isn’t my favorite ingredients for my face at that percentage again it’s personally however I had the best experience using this all over my body in trouble areas like my neck chest elbows feet knees. Even on my back if I had any blemish problems and I can see it working for the booty as well. It’s best to use before jumping in the shower and exfoliating further before rinsing it’s perfect to use before a shave I loved this as a multiuse body and face scrub. Incredible ingredients!!!

Citrus Scented Silky Skin Sloughing Scrub by Skinworx is my new favorite! As a person with sensitive skin, this is fabulous! I used it all over my body and face, it has a perfect consistency, going on like a luxurious silky gel with tiny soft beads and leaving my skin feeling flawless. It turns slightly foamy when massaged unto dry skin which makes it a quick and easy process. The sloughing happens as your circular massaging motions glide over your skin. The sleek white packaging is a generous 6.7oz but can easily be put into a travel size if needed. This is an ideal exfoliation method prior to doing a spray or self tan. I have been an esthetician for over 30 years and know that the combination of AHA’s & BHA’s increase collagen production but can cause irritation if used excessively, I would recommend caution for very dry skin. With any effective product, consult your dermatologist if you have any concern.

The Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub is hands down my favorite Skinworx product and has become one of my favorite scrubs. The packaging is simple, the product itself is very thin and almost liquid like when it comes out. It has a gritty texture like you would expect from a scrub but gentle enough for my somewhat sensitive skin. After the first use I was amazed at how much smoother my face felt. With each use since I have noticed after using it in the evening the next morning my skin looks more even, there is less irritation, and some of the hyperpigmentation spots have started to fade. As someone with large pores, some oily areas, some dryness I am truly blown away at how beneficial this scrub has been for my face. This is a product I will continue to use and recommend to others.As a licensed cosmetologist for 19 years I would recommend this scrub to anyone in need of a mini microdermabrasion. This is such a great option to help with discoloration, oiliness, dryness, tightening loose skin, and more.

I am a licensed esthetician practicing in New York. The Skinworx AHA / BHA Brightening Scrub gave me a pleasant and intense deep pore cleansing. The combination of glycolic acid and salicylic acid mixes well to gently exfoliate my skin. The glycolic acid works to clear up my surface dead skin cells and reveal a fresh and bright radiant skin. While the salicylic acid goes further to my pores to dissolve build-up oil such as whiteheads and blackheads trapped deep in my pores. I have an oily T-zone, so this worked very well to clean up my oily pores in that area without over-stripping. I love the different course of the texture transformation. I apply the product on dry skin. As I slowly massage, the product begins to ball up and it’s almost like a gommage peel where I can visibly see the product working to remove my dead skin. Once I have massaged all areas of my face and neck, I slowly introduce water and it magically transforms into a slippery physical exfoliant where tiny micro grains develop to further extend the exfoliation. My skin feels so clean and fresh. I have a beautiful bright glow. Totally love the results! My pro tip is try not to over do it. I consider this product very strong. Over exfoliation can lead to skin barrier damage, which means inflammation, redness, itchiness, and unexpected sensitivity. My skin type is dry and sensitive. I limit the exfoliation to 1x per week and it’s sufficient. As an esthetician, my recommendation for this product is to follow the suggested use. Limit frequency of usage if your skin is sensitive. Try not to over exfoliate because of the combo of the two different active acids in this.

I have been in the skin care industry for many years and face scrubs are one of my favorite products to try. Exfoliating the face is so very important in achieving healthy, smooth skin. Face scrubs can either benefit or irritate the skin and this scrub by skinworx definitely benefits the skin!!! This scrub provides the perfect amount exfoliation without being harsh on delicate skin. 10% Glycolic acid, 0.5% Salicylic acid have really made a huge impact on my pores and small breakouts. Vitamin A-C-E, Green tea extract, Co-Q10 exfoliates, brightens, calms, and soothes the skin. This one something I noticed immediately, my skin not only looked brighter and smoother, I had no irritation from this product at all! I can confidently say this is one of my new favorite products. I actually use this face scrub every night and my skin has never looked better! I am normally extremely sensitive so for me to be ok using this product every night says a lot. I do not think I can ever go without this one!

As a beauty expert and a beauty user, I like using products that benefit my skin. I was curious about Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub. I wanted to know whether it would actually brighten my skin. This product did not disappoint me. It is skin clarifying, brightening and skin smoothening. I used a moderate amount and applied it to my dry skin. I massaged it, then wet my hands and massaged it even more. The scrub has a creamy texture with tiny beads. It becomes foamy once water is applied to it. It is easy to massage and easy to rinse off. It is a gentle scrub that I used about twice a week. Since it contains AHA and BHA, I was expecting it to tingle but it didn’t. I have redness on my skin and large pores. This scrub reduced the size of my pores. It also reduced redness. Great product to have at home for a clean looking skin.

I’ve been using this for both face and body and I enjoy the very fine scrub. You don’t need to scrub hard as the fineness combined with the Ahas help to exfoliate two fold. I’ve steered away from physical exfoliants for a while because I led to believe it was bad for me but now I feel that there are better products out there that do a better job of exfoliating the skin without damaging it which is important in regular exfoliation. 2-3 days a week will be plenty. It’s a big amount so you can use on both your face and body Which I appreciate the open ended use of it. As a five year veteran in the high end skincare retail industry and now as a stay at home mom that truly enjoys discovering new products I can say skinworx has an amazing range of products that really do work.

As a freelance makeup artist for over 10 years and a person who has been obsessing about skincare, I highly recommend Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub. First, it is a High-performance facial scrub with powerful exfoliating ingredients including 10% Glycolic acid, 0.5% Salicylic acid USP. These ingredients can remove dead skin cells effectively. This facial scrub texture is like a gel lotion with very fine scrub. This gentle yet powerful exfoliating face polish removes dead skin while providing moisture to my skin. It contains AHA and BHA which exfoliate the skin chemically while the fine scrub physically exfoliates and clear the dullness of my skin. I also like the refreshing citrus scent of the facial scrub. And with its generous volume, I apply it on my rough body parts as well. I use this scrub two times a week. All my rough areas become so smooth. And my face is so smooth and skin tone is more even after adding this face scrub into my skincare routine.

I am Hendrika, and I had the opportunity to try and review this Skinworx Plump + Protect as a Verified Beautytap Expert and Beauty Content Creator/Influencer and as such I have 15+ years of experience with trying out skincare, hair care and cosmetic products. I was really excited to try this multi-functional lip plumping product from Skinworx as it not only plumps and hydrates the lips but also provides protection from the sun with SPF50 broad spectrum sunscreen. This lip plumper has quickly become a favorite. It goes on very smoothly without leaving any sticky feeling to my lips. It does not only hydrate my lips but also makes my lips feel smooth and looking plumper with a beautiful soft finish. After application it gives my lips a bit of a tingling sensation which shows me that the treatment is working. I love how this lip treatment has hydrating and nourishing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides, Niacinamide and Ceramides. These ingredients help to smooth, hydrate and lock in moisture and make my lips look plump. The sun protection makes this lip treatment unique and different from other lip treatments. This lip treatment has it all and has found its way into my purse so I can reapply it whenever needed!

I have been in the beauty industry for over seven years now and this is one of my first time trying a few products from this brand. This product not only just cleans the skin, but it also helps to exfoliate and brighten the skin. I love that it has amazing ingredients, such as glycolic and salicylic acid. It almost feels like a quick at home facial. I like to apply a good amount to dry skin and I make sure my hands are wet before massaging in circular motions for about 1-2 minutes. For me, it does not feel like it is too rough. It feels like it is gentle enough for my skin. After rinsing it off I noticed that my skin does feel smooth and after using it for some time, I feel like my skin looks brighter. I like to use it about three times per week on clean skin.

My name is Olga. As a verified beauty expert and microblading specialist/aesthetician of 6 years, I had an opportunity to try Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub. For reference, I am in my 40s and have combination skin. I am a scrubs and mask girl who never skips on my skincare routine. This scrub is very nice. It has a very nice combination of Glycolic acid, Salicylic acid, Vitamin A-C-E, and Green tea extract. I have been using this scrub a couple of times a week and I really like how this scrub cleanses, brightens, and exfoliates my skin. I use this scrub by gently massaging this product on my dry skin for about 2 minutes and then rinsing off with lukewarm water as instructed. After this scrub, my skin feels super soft and smooth. I follow my skincare routine with a serum and moisturizer after this.

Skinworx AHA BHA Brightening Scrub This Alpha and Beta Hydroxy scrub was absolutely one of the most effective brightening scrubs I have ever used on my skin. I loved that you only have had to massage in a small amounts, and it’s enough for the whole face so little goes along way! This was a very gentle mechanical scrub as well as being a very gentle chemical scrub that melts away all the dead skin cells leaving your skin super soft, smooth and supple! I really enjoyed the satisfying feel and texture of the micro dermabrasion like exfoliation that you get with every application so gentle you can use it 2-3 times every week. Use it before applying any serum and it will make it absorb into the skin that much quicker. I have been in the Professional Beauty Industry for 20+ years and this product is very similar to anything medical grade. I will definitely be using and recommending this product to my clients. A quick note on how huge this tube is for a facial scrub amazingly generous amount of product this is a great value!

I had to use this product as soon as i received it because i heard so many great things about this exfoliating scrub. After using it for the first time I could not believe how soft it left my skin. After using this exfoliating scrub i feel like my moisturizer and serum absorbs in to my skin much better than when i do not exfoliate my skin. I also love how gentle this scrub is because one of my concerns were if it would be to rough for my skin and if my skin would become irritated after using it but it did not which i am glad because i have sensitive skin. I have also used this product on some of my facial clients and i have gotten positive feedback they hve said that their skin is much softer and smoother as well. I would recommend this product to anyone who has sensitive skin.

Hi beautytap! This is Sarah, soon-to-be licensed cosmetologist and absolute makeup/skincare junkie. As someone with highly sensitive skin, I am always wary when experimenting with exfoliants. I’m prone to dryness, eczema, and perioral dermatitis, so I find that certain products with exfoliative actives can be way too much for my fragile skin barrier and can even cause flare ups. This exfoliant however, I thought was fantastic. It felt gentle, didn’t leave my skin feeling stripped or tingling or irritated. My skin looked clean and radiant immediately after use. I’m really looking forward to using this product on friends and clients who have more acneic and oily skin types. For me, exfoliating with this product once a week is sufficient. My only issue with the formula was the microbeads used to physically exfoliate the skin. Like I mentioned before, I am terrified to overexfoliate. So for me, just the chemical actives are enough, and the physical exfoliating beads seem like overkill. They also make the product really difficult to completely wash off. I also would suggest to skinworx to rethink the packaging of this product. A pump form would be easier, since the product is in a big squeezy bottle, it’s easy to accidentally squirt out too much.

As a licensed cosmetologist, working in the beauty industry for 26+ years, I love to learn about and try new innovative products! I especially love trying medical grade products, as I have not always been the kindest to my skin and hair, so I am looking for the holy grail to help fix some of my fun experiments!I love the Skinworx AHA/ABA brightening scrub because it has chemical and physical exfoliants in it. It lightly and gently polished the skin with small grains, but also chemically exfoliates my skin with the use of Alpha Hydroxy Acid and Beta Hydroxy acid. There is also Salicylic acid in this scrub, which helps to calm and heal any whiteheads, blackheads and acne. My skin feels fresh, clean, soft and a more even texture. I also love the bright citrus scent. What a great product that is safe for everyone and delivers results!

Have you ever heard the saying, “You can’t have your cake and eat it, too.”? It sprang to mind when I pondered having both chemical and physical exfoliants in a single product. As a professional skincare writer for 13+ years, my nighttime routine is long, long, long, and anything that can save me a step is blissfully welcome. Leave it to the ever-ambitious Cheryl Pierce to unite the chemical exfoliants I usually have to apply in two separate steps into one glorious scrub that will most likely be a fan favorite product.No More Need for a Standalone AHA or BHA ProductMy life is busier than I’d like it to be, and I’m occasionally guilty of cutting out my AHA or BHA to save time. I don’t apply both of them nightly, nor would I use a physical scrub in the morning and a chemical exfoliant the same night. Having everything in one tube … and having it work effectively … was and is a beautiful thing. I use this twice a week in the morning and haven’t needed to add my other products in the evening whatsoever.I Like This Better When Applied to Wet SkinAfter using this as directed on dry skin, I tried it while my skin was damp and preferred it that way. To be fair, I’m probably shortchanging myself on the benefits of the AHA and BHA by doing that, but the scrub was a bit much for me when used on dry skin. My skin is somewhat sensitized, though, due to tretinoin usage and a recent laser treatment. If you have a healthy skin barrier and don’t use retinoids, this will probably be amazingly effective when used as directed.Closing Thoughts: Lest I forget to mention this, the tube is 6.7 oz. That’s massive for a facial scrub. This will last me at least six months, which makes it an affordable staple for my needs. Another winner from Skinworx!

The AHA BHA Brightening Scrub from Skinworx hits all the right spots. This citrusy sweet smelling scrub feels impactful each time I use it, as it really does a great job of exfoliating well (contains both chemical and mechanical exfoliants). I love using right before I shower. I often spread it generously on my face, neck and décolletage, and hop in the shower, not rinsing until the very end. Right before I rinse, I lightly massage the scrub around for 1-2 minutes making sure I concentrate on my jawline, nose and chin (these are the areas that I tend to be more oily and congested). I really loved using this antioxidant packed scrub on my body as well. My fav is to use on my legs, back of my thighs and buttocks before I shave. It makes my legs silky smooth and feels like it elongates the time before my legs start getting rough and prickly again. My plan is to continue using this product until the last drop, which might be awhile since it comes in such a big size (love it). -Miranda Rice, Master Esthetician 9+ years(39yo, Fitz 1, combination skin)

I’m a practicing esthetician and I see a lot of brands/clients focus on the face and forget about the rest of their skin…so I love seeing powerhouse packed products that focus on exfoliating, brightening, calming, and soothing the body! At first glance, the packaging is basic with a twist off the entire cap situation & squeeze out the product tube. The product is more of liquid like consistency than a gel so with this type of packaging, you can lose product if you aren’t careful. This could easily be fixed with a twist & squeeze/twist & seal situation but overall the packaging isn’t a deal breaker for me at all because the scrub itself is AMAZING! Like I said prior, it’s a textured/beaded liquid cream. It doesn’t have a scent, lathers well, and isn’t hard to rinse off. After showering with this scrub, my skin looks great and doesn’t feel dry or greasy (other scrubs generally leave me feeling one or the other). I personally think it’s great for my bikini line, I tend to get ingrown hairs and this scrub has really helped me. I would definitely recommend this product!!

As a Cosmetologist of 13 years experience I have tried a lot of different skincare products. This by far is my most favorite exfoliator. When you first put it on if has a very refreshing slight tingle to it. The grit of the crystals is absolutely perfect. It describing itself as a quick microdermabrasion facial is 100% accurate. Every time I use it I feel like I just got an hour long facial and my skin feels brand new. It really helps detox the skin. My pores have shrunk and it’s almost like the blackheads are pushing themselves out. The smell of the scrub is so light and airy and Spa like. Not overpowering with too much perfumes. Smells like a fresh bowl of citrus fruits. I really like that it is calming as well because usually after exfoliation I am extremely red, but with this I’m not even pink!
