Face Scrubs & Exfoliators

Face scrubs and facial exfoliators work to gently polish the skin, removing dead skin cells and surface impurities. By sloughing away these dulling surface cells, the skin is left cleansed, exfoliated, and better able to breathe. Regular use of a Clarins face exfoliator ensures your skin is left soft, smooth, and perfectly primed to absorb subsequent face serums and moisturisers, maximising their effectiveness.

The skin on your face typically needs exfoliating once or twice a week. While the frequency depends on your skin type and the specific product, using your face exfoliator once a week is a great starting point. Pay attention to your skin; if it feels dry or sensitive, reduce the frequency of application. If you have combination or oily skin, twice a week is the best frequency.

See our application guide on how to use a face exfoliator.

Clarins Laboratories has developed a range of facial exfoliators for all skin types, which all include natural-origin ingredients.

For a deep, physical polish, an exfoliating scrub with micro-beads or natural powders is excellent for boosting cell renewal.
For sensitive or delicate skin, a gentler-textured scrub will be the most suitable.
For oily/acne-prone: Look for deeper, purifying face scrubs or gel-based formulas. These skin types benefit from physical exfoliation that can thoroughly clean out pores and control excess sebum. Our Fresh Scrub is a purifying scrub that contains two sizes of natural wood cellulose beads - the larger ones exfoliate while the finer ones refine the skin's texture.
For dry skin: Choose hydrating and non-abrasive facial exfoliators

The Comfort Scrub is a moisturising oil-based exfoliator for dry or sensitive skin. The beetroot sugar microcrystals polish away impurities from the face and lips, while Wild Mango Butter comforts dry skin and prevents dehydration.
