Studio-Smooth Microdermabrasion Treatment Scrub

An in-clinic microdermabrasion facial, reworked for the bathroom shelf. Where most scrubs rely on crushed shells or sugar, this one is built around magnesium flakes, which are fine, uniform and soft enough to dissolve slightly as you work them over the skin. The result is real physical polishing without the scratchiness that usually comes with it.

The base is cushioned rather than gritty, so the grains stay suspended and glide instead of dragging. Polyhydroxy acids work alongside them, loosening surface build-up and holding water in the skin at the same time, while zinc gluconate helps keep the look of pores refined. Everything rinses away cleanly with no residue and no tight, stripped feeling afterwards.

Skin is left noticeably smoother to the touch, with a soft finish and a fresher, more even look. Best used up to three times a week as a treat step, and particularly good the night before makeup, when you want everything to sit flat.

Best for

Rough or uneven texture, dullness, and the look of enlarged pores. Suits all skin types.

How to use

After cleansing, apply a small amount to damp skin and massage gently over the face, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly and follow with moisturiser. Use up to three times a week.

Key ingredients

Magnesium flakes provide the physical exfoliation, softening slightly as they work to buff away dead surface cells and build-up. Polyhydroxy acids give a gentler chemical exfoliation while acting as a humectant, drawing moisture into the skin so it feels soft rather than stripped. Zinc gluconate helps keep shine in check and makes pores appear smaller and less noticeable.
