Skinstitut Glycolic Scrub 14%

I use this on any areas I've had layered about 5 days after treatment and then twice weekly. It can also be used to remove fake tan and when I've used it on my face as an exfoliant my skin is baby soft and smooth and moisturiser/serums apply nicely after.

I really like this scrub for my sensitive, combination skin. I only use it twice a week and always leaves me feeling fresh and smooth. It has lasted about 6 months, great product.

I purchased this product for breakouts on my shoulders and face - I use it every few days in the shower and I love it, my skin feels great afterwards and my skin breakouts have reduced.

I have re-purchased over 6 times. Best scrub to date, and I believe it has contributed to my fading scars! (and obviously smooth skin)

This product is an incredible scrub but yes, agree with the other comments - it can be very harsh on your skin so a little goes a long way. I like to also use this on areas I've lasered to get rid of the dead skin - about 7 days after treatment.

I love this product, have used it for a long time and really does keep skin feeling fresh and clear from any breakouts. Be careful to not use it too frequently and it can deteriorate the skin of overused

This has to be one of the best scrubs I have ever used. It is grainy enough that it scrubs your face leaving it soft, refreshed and clear. I use it 2-3 times a week and have definitely noticed an improvement in my skin texture and appearance of my face. Will be buying again!

I have normal-dry skin and I use this 2-3 times a week, and it leaves my skin soooo soft. I don't get pimples/acne, but do get some pesky blackheads. This product clears those right up, would definitely recommend :)

Sooo good! I used this once and my skin looked so much clearer and healthier. It was rough but didn’t feel damaging to my skin and my skin felt so soft afterwards. I plan to use this every third night, love it!

This is a great exfoliating scrub. I use it twice a week. Overall, am happy with it. However, I have used better exfoliators that are less abrasive on the skin mechanically. From a price point, this is a well-priced product. Would purchase again.

I love this product for a deep clean a couple of times a week.

Skinstitut note that this is one of their highest level exfoliants and they aren't wrong. I have oily, acne prone skin and have used other glycolic scrubs (ASAP is one) in the past but found this may be a higher concentrate. The scrub is quite harsh, but does work well if used only once/twice a week for me. It does seem to cause a breakout immediately after use but it's almost as though it causes my skin to purge and then it becomes smooth and calmer afterwards.

I absolutely love this product! It makes my skin feel so soft!

I have oily acne prone skin. I have been using this product for 2 years, I absolutely love it and would never use anything else again.

I have been using this product for 2 years. I have oily acne prone skin. This product helps prevent hormonal breakouts like I just to have and it leave my skin feeling clean and fresh.

I used this product when I was experiencing hormone-related breakouts and my skin was particularly oily. It is an excellent exfoliant and after the first use, it freshened up my entire complexion. I now use it only occasionally on my face though, as my skin issues have settled down and I find that it can cause some redness/is a little harsh with too frequent use on my normally sensitive skin.

When i first started using this it broke me out but after a few weeks i realised that it was only bringing everything up that was lying underneath my skin. this is now my go to scrub. For sensitive skin days its good to water it down a little

Been using for years and never had any second thoughts about it. First purchased it to exfoliate for laser hair removal, and now i even use it once a week to exfoliate my face. Im prone to milia on my eyelids and once a day of this for 3 days got rid of them. Although can be abrasive for sensitive skin and cut/broken skin. But thats why its a good exfoliator

LOVE this product for my oily but sometimes dry skin. Has cleared so many of my blackheads. Every time I use it I feel like my skin has been polished and is SO clean. Not for use every day though as it is very potent.

This scrub was included in the Skinstitut Starter Kit I bought and my skin absolutely loves it. I use this scrub twice a week, once initially until my skin adjusted. I find my skin is more refined and polished and less congested. I definitely recommend the scrub for those with congested skin.

I’ve been using this for about 6 years. My skin gets a little bumpy and flakey and this is a non invasive scrub that makes your skin look and feel instantly smooth. I’ve tried several other scrubs and I always come back to this one. I use it around twice a week and can be used all over your body.

I have been struggling with hormonal acne due to my mirena and this has been my holy grail product in dealing with any breakouts and imperfections.

Pros : inexpensive, effective

Cons : can dry your skin out a little bit so you will need a great serum and moisturiser to use in conjunction.

If I use this occasionally 1-2 a week it helps clear up my skin but it is way to rash to be used daily on my sensitive skin

I love this product as i did have a lot of acne, it cleared it quite quickly. The only thing i can fault is that it makes your skin quite dry, but thats nothing a little moisturizer cant fix!!

I have struggled with congested skin and breakouts since I was 15years old... now in my mid 20s - I regret not getting this product sooner!!
I recommend using the scrub 2 or 3 times a week and the Skinstitut cleanser every other day. If you use the scrub more than that it does dry your skin out a bit.
Highly recommend as this is the most staple face scrub I own! I even bought a travel sized one for when I travel I love it that much!

I have normal, combination skin and have struggled with blackheads on my nose and congestion on my chin. Since using the glycolic scrub the pores on my nose have gotten visibly smaller, probably working in combination with some of Skinstitut's other products as well as some targeting blackheads from the brand The Ordinary.
This scrub isn't too harsh on my face and feels like it's doing its job when I'm using it.

Absolutely love this scrub use it 2 to 3 times a week to Exfoliate my skin and pores works amazing. My skin looks smoother and fresher

I have sensitive combination skin and used this only a few times a week. At first it worked well then overtime it irritated my skin.

Finding a scrub that is ocean friendly is such a relief! This scrub is so gritty, it gets right into the places you need. My skin feels so fantastic. All the dead skin has been buffed away and I find myself using this only once a week. So not only is it ocean friendly, it's also wallet/bank account friendly. A little goes a long way, and it's so affordable. My favourite scrub.

This scrub is really good! It makes my face feel really clean and prevents breakouts. I use twice a week and love how it makes my skin feel – would highly recommend!!

I am oily skinned in my mid 20s. I began using this at the beginning of the year after getting bad blind pimples and even worse hormonal break outs. After a few days of using this I saw a huge improvement. I haven’t had any breakouts of any sort since using this. I use it in conjunction with the L-Lactic Cleanser.

I started using this as a face scrub and it’s amazing, really gentle on the skin and exfoliating. It’s also really good for in grown hairs on legs etc, it helps to exfoliate and bring them up. Great product!

I’m 37 years old and have always had fairly oily congested skin. In recent years it has become quite flaky and dehydrated (but weirdly is still oily!) so my foundation never goes on smoothly no matter how often I exfoliate. This scrub is amazing. Within a few days my skin is clear and flake free. I highly recommend this!

There aren't many products that I would give 5 stars, but this one is a game changer for me. It is a beautiful scrub with both chemical and physical exfoliants, which provides thorough exfoliation without irritating my sensitive skin. I have noticed an improvement in the texture of my skin, and also fine lines have lessened. I now have my entire family using this product and can't see myself not repurchasing this in the future.

I havent had a scrub like it! Iv struggled alot with skin congestion my whole life and this product not only helped keep it clean, it makes it smooth and soft.

I use this product once weekly in the shower. I feel that it cleans my face really well, clearing pores and getting rid of any residue foundation. It is quite strong, particularly as I have sensitive, dry skin, so that is why once a week is enough for me.

My skin recently broke out and I started using this in combination with some other Skinstitut products. My skin recovered really quickly when using this 4-5 times per week and I've since cut down to 3 times per week as recommended.

I've been using this on my upper arms and back. Its helped with my keratosis pilaris and reducing the pimples on my arms and back. I use this about once a week.
Will definitely purchase again.

I originally brought this product to help with ingrown hairs and then the scars that followed but it has remained my all time favourite scrub for my whole body.
It leaves your skin smoother & it definitely helps with congestion more than any other scrub I’ve tried.

I’ve been using this scrub for a few years now after trying a sample. It leaves my skin feeling deeply cleaned and really smooth! I use it once or twice a week and it doesn’t dry my skin out.

So happy with this product my face feels so smooth and soft will purchase again once bottle finished highly recommended

This is my second product I have tried from this brand. My skin is prone to breakouts but they are hormonal so I never find any product to be a great fix for this. I still really like this product. It feels good to use, makes my skin feel fresh and smooth afterwards, doesn't dry my skin out or make it feel tight. The tube is also huge and will last ages! Use it once a week.

It works amazingly on my acne prone skin. It smooths put all the dry patches without making it drier. It definitely doesn't cause any irritation to my sensitive skin either. Hence why I use this scrub over any other scrub.

Initially was a bit harsh on my skin, but after a few uses I no longer felt any irritation and began to notice my skin feeling smoother and having less congestion.

This scrub is amazing for hormonal Breakouts and is also great for skin build-up and blackheads it has an amazing texture. The tube will last forever and is the best scrub I have tried to date! I got this as a gift through Adore beauty and have bought since

I received a sample of this amazing scrub and i am converted already after one use and will be purchasing it asap! My skin noticeably appears more refined and fresh. The Glycolic provides an effective yet gentle exfoliation. I applied to my face neck and chest whilst in the shower - love the results!

My sister bought this and it has lasted 2 years I swear with the both of us using it. Just use a pea sized amount on congested areas, or when you feel your skin needs a bit of a scrub (only rubbed gently, it’s got some grit to it) but it’s pretty good for making your skin feel like you’ve gotten rid of all the yuck once a week

I love the exfoliation that this product gives. It leaves my skin smoothe and amazingly clean.
Im hooked on this product!

Works amazingly however I do find sometimes it can be too harsh. That being said it by far my favourite skinstitut exfoliator.

I have been using this scrub for a long time - I find it to be light enough to use regularly and it doesn't interfere with my use of peels and masks.
It is a great scrub for all skin types, and gentle enough so your skin doesn't feel over processed as it can with other exfoliants.

Skin feels smooth even after one use, doesn’t feel dry afterward.

I have been used to using more abrasive scrubs, to really get that feeling that it has done its job however after using Skinstitut Glycolic Scrub, my skin is much smoother. It has really decreased the rougher texture of my skin and gives a really clean appearance. It is quite a fine scrub but packs a lot of punch.

I have combination skin and suffer from blackheads. This scrub is so incredible because it has some manual exfoliant properties and some chemical. This works really well for my combination skin and if i using it 2-3 times a week it leaves my skin really clear. For the price, i can't recommend this enough

Other than my skin feeling smoother, I have not noticed a significant difference in my skin. Even though I have sensitive skin, I would prefer a more abrasive scrub,

Absolutely love this product. My skin feels smooth and silky!

I received this as a gift with purchase and really like it. I have sensitive skin so worried it could cause irritation but it’s been amazing. Leaves my skin feeling so soft so I will definitely purchase going forward

Finally, something that works. I had the product as a trial and tried it once, after even one use I noticed the difference.

I do like this face scrub and it definitely leaves my face smooth after use and I do notice my serum and moisturiser applies better. However it does irritate my skin a little as I have sensitive and dry skin.

This scrub is so nice and leaves my skin smooth and helps my skincare absorb better!

I always go back to using this scrub, its good as a mini face mask (leave it for 5 min) and I use it as a body scrub.

Very affordable compare to other chemical exfoliant out there.

I have acne prone skin which can get sensitive to some products that I have used in the past. My sister recommended this product to me and I tried it and noticed results within the week. This is a great facial scrub for exfoliation! I use this product three times a week and have not noticed any sensitivity. Great product I would recommend and have seen results since I began using three months ago.

I recently got a facial rash that required extensive love to heal. This brand was my Holy Grail and this exfoliant is great as a 2-3x a week scrub!

Just starting using and can definitely notice the difference!

So happy I found this. It really is effective without being too harsh on the skin. Skin feels super smooth afterwards and brightened! I use once a week.

i had a bunch of breakouts before using this, i have used it more regularly than recommended but only because i felt like i really needed to in order to remove the breakouts and it really has helped so much! it is a little rough so don’t use much and use a light hand when exfoliating your face so you don’t get irritation! i feel like this would last so long aswell as you really only need the smallest amount and you get so much product!

This is the best scrub. I love it. You only need a pea size amount and it goes along way. It’s excellent to prevent acne and clear the skin. It leaves the skin so soft and smooth. I would recommend it.

Tough, but good exfoliant. I use it in conjunction with laser hair removal, and sometimes on my face for an extra good scrub

On my initial use the fumes did sting my eyes a bit. I use this twice a week and my skin feels squeaky clean afterwards. I suffer from oily skin and I think this scrubs helps combat my oil without drying out my skin.

I have found after using the product for a couple of weeks alot of my congestion has come to the surface and is now clearing up. Skin feels so clean afterwards

I’d forgotten just how great this product is. The tiniest amount every second night gently massaged onto my face after cleansing and before my nightly serums this is a beauty must have. My sometimes dry skin feels reinvigorated, helps dramatically with a flawless makeup base the next day. It’s non irratating and such a great price. Another must have and again would highly recommend

I have used this for years! It’s a beautiful scrub makes your skin feel so smooth after and helps keeps pimples at bay! I find it I use it for than a couple times a week it dries my sensitive skin tho!! But perfect for once or twice!

Been using this product for almost a year now and just can’t find anything better. I have combination skin and need something that’s not too drying but also can clean my skin perfectly. Found it with this one. Although the recommended use is a few times a week, I actually use it twice a day after another gentle cleanser. I usually get drying crack skin in winter but it hasn’t been the case after using this. It works for me but if you have that smooth dry skin, I don’t recommend you using it as often as me due to the strength of the glycolic acid. My skin has gone through years of different products and treatment due to breakout and all so I guess it can stand it. Overall, very happy with this product and can’t see myself stop purchasing it anytime soon. It lasts a few months for me with daily use and might be even longer with less frequency so the price kind of justifies it.

What a scrub! It feels like it is actually working and it does. I woke up with baby soft skin. Other scrubs I have used do not feel like they do much, but this one is like no other! Love it!

I have very freckly skin which is very resilient and not sensitive at all. This scrub is seriously the best scrub out there! It's nice and gritty so it feels like it's doing a good job of exfoliating which I love. My husband actually loves it too and uses for acne issues. Best face scrub out there but also good for body too! Plus, the pricing is really reasonable.

I use this twice a week, and every time I use it, someone comments on how glowy my skin looks. It isn't harsh, doesn't strip the oils from your skin or make it dry. Can't live without this stuff now

This product is amazing . You only need to use a pea size amount and it leaves your skin feeling so soft . Love it .

Been using this scrub for over a year, use it on my face and body and always leaves my skin feeling fresh and soft

As someone who suffers from server acne, especially across my back this product was a god send. Within the first week of using this product my skin significantly improved and was visually a lot better. I have re purchased this product a number of times and its something that I will continue to use because of how well if controls my acne and prevents further break out.

A bit harsh but extremely effective scrub. The fine microbeads are very effectively getting rid of all dead or peeling skin. The skin is left very smooth and fresh, but be very careful when this should be used for sensitive skin.

I have normal skin and really like the feel of this cream exfoliate. It has just the right amount of beads to get a deep clean but it isn't harsh on the skin. My skin feels really nice and clean afterwards.

Love this scrub. Quite rough which I like and leaves skin feeling smooth.

I've been using this scrub for quite a while I use it once or twice a week and find that my skin feels so silky smooth after using it. It's a nice fine grade scrub, not like plastic microbeads that you get in cheaper products. Love it!

I use this on my face, neck, chest and back for smooth and blemish free skin

I bought this after getting laser hair removal and it did wonders for my skin and for preventing nasty in growns. I was even tempted to use it on my face a couple of times and I was glowing after!!! Love this product!!!

Hands down the best product on the market! I will never cheat on my skinsitut products ever I recommend skinsitut any time some one ask which is the best out there! They smell great feel great Nd are just utterly my life’s saviour! Thankyou so the whole company for making people like me happy!

Great for face and body, really efficient scrub without skin irritation. Smells like toilet cleaner a bit but it’s not too strong. Great for getting rid of ingrown hairs after laser sessions and backne, as well as being gently enough for the face.

This is the best scrub I have ever used. I use it twice a week and leaves my skin very smooth and brighter. But it doesn't feel to harsh and doesn't dry out my skin either.

I have dry and flakey skin and needed this product to help clear it up. I use it a few times a week and it exfoliates the dry skin away perfectly, leaving my skin smooth and clear

After using many different brands and products, even using only natural products to try and control my terrible blemished skin was not working. After i found this scrub, i will NEVER go back! it has saved my skin, my skin can breathe again, my break outs have stopped, the redness and blemishes have massively reduced, and my dryness is controlled amazingly with the skinstituit retenol serum. I am obsessed and recommend this brand to everyone i talk about skin care with - i cant believe how well it works.

I love skinstituit - after only using natural products my skin was not getting any better, constant break outs and dryness combined with oily flaking irritated blemishes. I started using this scrub and within the first few uses you can instantly see a major difference! my skin feels clean, can breathe, i do not have break outs any more and my dryness is being controlled with the Skinstituit Retenol serum. Love this!

i love the finish that this scrub leaves. a fine particle that feels like it really works, and leaves your skin noticeably smoother after each use. instant result.

This is a great scrub. Highly recommend

If you don’t have sensitive skin like me this stuff is amazing. Works really well to combat pigmentation however I found using too often my skin would become excessively dry and flakey. Cleared up pigmentation in a matter of weeks!

I use this scrub weekly, and it’s not too harsh on my sensitive eczema prone skin. It’s strong enough to remove dry flaky skin without my skin feeling sensitive afterwards. Will be repurchasing.

I’ve been using this bad boy for quite a few years now and it’s incredible. I have pretty sensitive skin and it’s never caused any reactions. Even though it has an abbrasive component it’s not too harsh on the skin. My absolute favourite scrub for getting rid of dead skin. I use it about once a fortnight.

I use this scrub once a week. My skin is combination and has the occasional breakout and I love glycolic acid products for that reason

I use this product once a week as well as using the Skinstitut Glycolic Cleanser 12% every day. Rids of any excess dirt build up and leaves skin with a subtle shine without drying it out. Also great to use for laser hair removal.

Ive been using this scrub for about 3 months now. Its made a huge difference to my skin. It is so much clearer and smoother. Its helped with ingrowns. Will recommend

I have used this exfoliator for about 12 months. I have combination skin and am in my late 30s. I wouldn't personally use it every day, I feel like it could be too harsh for the skin but I use it about 2-3 times per week in the shower and I am happy with it as it leaves my skin very smooth to the touch after using it and make-up goes on much easier, therefore I would use it before going out or on a date etc. I have stubborn millia on my cheeks and it definitely hasn't made them any worse - obviously it doesn't get rid of them as only cosmetic removal can do this but i would say it helps keep them at bay/from reappearing. If you like a scrub that feels like it's doing something on your skin - that feels a bit gritty - i would go for this. I believe this brand also doesn't test on animals which is important to me. I will be buying this product again.

I bought this product for my arms. I have Keratosis Polaris, and it really helps exfoliate the area and reduce the roughness. I use it on damp/near dry skin, rub it in circular motions and then leave it on for a few minutes to work itself in. Overall I was super happy! I wouldn't use it on my face as it is a bit harsh for my sensitive cheeks.
