Skinstitut Glycolic Scrub 14%

Great intense scrub to use twice a week. Perfect for a Sunday night deep cleanse!

I’m always a little wary of granulated exfoliants because I’m paranoid about compromising my moisture barrier. But I really love this one. I use it once a week, with chemical exfoliants on other days. Does what it promises.

I have very sensitive skin that usually purges when trying new products but this one worked amazing and smoothed out my skin!

I absolutely LOVE the Skinstitut Glycolic Scrub. I first started using it when the lady who was doing my laser told me I could use the scrub three times a week to help clear up my skin, and honestly, that was the best skin advice I have ever received. I have never used a product that worked so quickly on clearing blemishes, controlling my pores and honestly reducing some of my acne scarring. I have recommended to all my fam and friends with similar skin troubles and couldn't recommend a single product more!

This exfoliant is amazing!! It leaves your skin feeling smooth and buffed. The small granules rub against your skin to remove impurities and once washed off gives you a clean complexion! Love it!!

Has to be my favourite product from the SKINSTITUT range. It works so well just as an exfoliator and also has reduced my blind pimples!

I have used this exfoliating scrub around my bra line area, face and legs. This is a great multi-purpose/versatile scrub that isn't harsh at all. I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs a good scrub (to eliminate dead skin).

Great on congested areas however I would only use the product on the areas that are particularly concerning rather than your whole face for sensitive skin

You only need a small amount of this scrub. A little bit goes a long way!
It is not too harsh but enough to make your skin feel soft and supple!
It has helped clear up my acne. I try and use it every second or third day.

I love this product, I use it every now and then when I feel like my skin needs it and it’s great! This is a good way to use glycolic acid during the day.

Really great exfoliator for the skin. Works really well for me in my problem areas (Chin and nose). My skin feels 10 times clearer since using this. It can be a little rough on the skin even though it is fine so be careful when first using!

I really cant fault this product. Leaves my skin super clean, moisturized, firmer and more dewy. Stung a little when i first started using it, but tolerable. I leave it on like a mask after scrubbing, for a couple of minutes, then wash off. I also use it on the backs of my hands.

This exfoliator is a bit too harsh for my sensitive face skin. I did find it good as a body exfoliator though.

While this scrub seemed to have some brightening effects on my skin, I found that with prolonged use, my skin became and felt more sensitive. I only used this once or twice a week for over a month, so this was probably too strong for me. My skin did feel smooth for awhile, but it did little to unclog the stubborn clogged pores that I have. Those with less sensitive skin will probably appreciate this more than I do!

Non drying for skin prone to dryness and dehydration, and soooo good at keeping spots at bay. It’s one of my favourites and it’s a no nonsense, does what it says it will do, perfect scrub for hurried mornings in the shower.

My skin afterward feels clean and scrubbed but not stripped. I’m not a fan of the strong chemical smell but you get used to it.

Highly recommended.

This product works wonders. I started using it 4 years ago, when I suffered horrible hormonal acne on my back, and it helped clear the active pimples and create much smoother skin. After seeing how well it worked on my back, I started using it on my face, 3-4 times per week, and haven't stopped. It's the perfect 're-set' product - if I can feel my face getting oily, or I feel a pimple coming on, I use the scrub at night and my skin is re-set by morning. Absolutely love it!

I usually don't re-purchase many products because I find something I don't like about them but this one is amazing and completely worth trying. I get little blind pimples occasionally under the skin and I put some of this on and rub it in and leave for 15-30 minutes OR put it on before bed and leave it overnight and they're either gone the next day or have come up to the surface. Great product. (also is great just as a daily exfoliate)

I can't live without this scrub! I've been using for over a year now. It does what it claims, removing dead skin, revealing a smoother, brighter, more youthful complexion. I have combination skin which is prone to breakouts and use this scrub every third day, any more and my skin will dry out. I use in conjunction with my other skinstitut products including Glycolic cleanser. Helps minimise pores and reduce inflammation and breakouts. Hands down best product I've ever used, my holy grail!

This scrub is awesome! I can only use it twice a week though because if I use it too much it drys out my skin! However this is the only scrub that doesn’t irritate my skin once used!

I have combination and sensitised skin; my huge concern is textured surface on my face.

PRO:
- very good exfoliant cleanser
- ocean friendly
- Glycolic scrubs does remove impurities and dead skin
- Reduce skin texture for softer and smooth skin
- can be used on face or body

CONS:
- this scrub is really good and did smooth out my textured face but it was too harsh to the point that dried out in some areas like around my mouth.
- I used twice a week and it was a bit too harsh so I changed it to once a week, it did help a bit but my face still react a bit bad that I got redness and dried on my cheeks and around my mouth despite I do not have sensitive skin but I do have sensitised skin that reacts to certain products.

Overall, I wouldn’t use this exfoliant on my face so I would just use it on my back and chest that tend to get pimples sometimes.

I'm prone to break outs on my back, this helped and made a noticeable difference at first using it daily but after about 3 months (like most acne treatments) it started becoming less effective. Since my acne wasn't as severe I started using the L-Lactic acid as my daily back cleanser ( this is what I use for my face) and I now only use the glycolic acid as a once a week exfoliant. I've had GREAT results! It the best regime I've ever had.
I did find this scrub to be too harsh for a daily face wash, it made me peel. My face is normal skin with the odd pimple or blackhead. So I only used it as a once a week scrub for my face and mainly focus on problem areas - pigmentation, spots, fine lines and large pores. Works well and smooths the face

I can not recommend this product enough. It has so many uses and great value - the bottle lasts FOREVER! Its really great on its own as an exfoliate and its very fine so not as harsh. Its also great as a spot treatment. I usually get those under the skin pimples that swell up and take forever to come to the surface - I put this on the area and leave it over night and wake up in the morning and the pimple is at the surface and all swelling is gone. Honestly couldn't recommend enough.

I’ve been using this exfoliant now for at least 2 years and love it! It’s fantastic to smash on in the shower after cleansing when you’re in a hurry but want to feel like you’ve had a facial and leaves your skin super smooth!

I have really awful acne/oily skin and sometimes this product is the only thing that can help me tame it. My acne is caused by medical reasons rather than hormones or congestion so it can be really hard to manage but this product is great at helping me manage it. Although it doesn’t erase my acne it does help me manage breakouts and even helps tame my oil for the next day which is great. Only problem is that this product can be a little harsh sometimes so I can’t use it every time I want a good exfoliation.

Great for cleaning my pores, I have congested skin that has cleared up using this twice a week without drying my skin out like other scrubs!

I jumped head first into my Skinstitut regimen, starting about 5 of the products at once, I was told to use this only once a week to start and while I did do as I was told, I nearly scrubbed my face off the first time I used this and ended up with an extremely red and flakey face for about 3 days after my first use!
I still use this once a week, just a little bit more gently! I love how fresh and soft it leaves my skin feeling! Still hesitant to use more than weekly but I use the gentle cleanser and L-actic cleanser the other days of the week and have definitely noticed a difference in the clarity of my skin!

This scrub is so damn good! I use this 1-2 times per week and have seen huge improvements in my skin. I have had less breakouts, my skin is smooth and my makeup sits/applies to my face much better. I have even converted my partner who uses this everyday, he has made comment of having less breakouts also and also loves this product! An absolute staple for clean and clear skin in our house!

Love this exfoliant. Face always feels clean after using it and it won’t break the bank - definitely one on repeat purchase.

I have used this for over a year now and it is by far the best exfoliator I have ever used! Leaves my skin feeling super soft and clean after! 100% recommend!!!

This is a great weekly scrub even for my sensitive skin to really clean all the imperfections out

I’ve been using this scrub for well over a year now and this is only my second tube purchased. A little bit goes a long way and it’s definitely worth it weight in gold. My skin has never felt softer,smoother and cleaner after using this scrub! Definitely recommend anyone to try it!!

I have been using the scrub for years, it does the job very well, leaving my face feeling amazing and fresh.

My skin feels super smooth after every use!!

Struggled with acne and congestion for a long time and my skin needs something strong I have realised over trying a million different products. After using this for a few weeks my acne had cleared and the little bumps on my skin were a lot smoother. Can’t live without with this product now!

Works to remove all dead skin and does not dry out my skin like some other scrubs I have used in the past.

I was actually recommended the Skinstitut products by a skin specialist when i was getting microdermabrasion done, i was told to use this product once a week. It is literally the best exfoliator i have ever used. It leaves by skin feeling so soft, fresh and looking so hydrated. Even my partner was surprised at how soft my skin was after the first time i used it.

I have never had a skin care routine so went and got a skin analysis, I was suggested to use this scrub for my congested skin. A little goes a long way which is great meaning the bottle will last a while. I use this product 2 times a week, I really look forward to those nights whereI know I get to use it lol. Using this scrub I feel that it helps to give a deep clean, leaving your skin feeling refreshed. I love this product!

Great for a weekly deep clean that doesn’t flare up my sensitive skin, that’s also prone to breakouts.

Amazing exfoliator for keeping blackhead and pimples away. Leaves skin feeling clean and smooth

As someone who battles acne and combo skin a chemical exfoliator is the better option for my skincare so I went on a limb and bought this after I filched some from my sister for two weeks and saw a good improvement.
This makes a fantastic face and body exfoliator and I also use this to fight off ingrown hairs and bacne. It's a definite all-rounder that makes a great addition to your skincare routine and it comes in a large squeezy bottle so you are getting bang for your buck.
Packaging is okay not pretty but not ugly definitely has a place in my shower basket.

This is the perfect exfoliator, I use it 3 times a week and it leaves my skin soft and doesn't irritate me or leave me dry and flakey like some exfoliators can.

Love this exfoliant and even though I have dry and sensitive skin it doesn't have any negative effects. My skin feels so clear and smooth after use, and doesn't dry out or get too tight.

Fantastic for cleaning off every last bit of make up or grime. I have dry skin and it doesn't irritate, just a bit of stinging around the driest parts like a mild peel which stopped after a couple weeks of use. My skin always feels refreshed and bright after using.

My favorite go to face scrub. My face has never felt so smooth. I find after using this scrub at night, the next morning my makeup just glides on. Love this product!

This scrub is truly a god send! My skin has become soooo much better use this!

This scrub gives a deep clean and feels a lot more exfoliating than most scrubs. You only need the tiniest amount and a lot goes a long way. Since using this scrub and the glycolic cleanser I haven’t had any pimples yet. This scrub may be too harsh for sensitive skin.

One of my favourite skin care products. Works really nicely just to exfoliate but also good as a spot treatment for under the skin pimples. It can sting a little on sensitive areas so be careful. Really great product.

I have been using this glycolic scrub in an attempt to get rid of keratosis pilaris (KP) from my upper arms and, although my arms seemed smoother, the redness did not diminish as much as I'd have liked. I will probably try another tube to see if more frequent use makes a difference but I won't be holding my breath.

This is an amazing Skinstitut face and body scrub that leaves my skin smooth without being too rough in the process :)

I was torn between this and the alpha h micro cleanse exfoliator, so I ended up buying both. This one was a lot more exfoliating than the alpha h. It is good and I prefer this over the alpha h because I feel like it does more at exfoliating. I wouldnt use it anymore than 3x a week because it is very effective.

Amazing scrub, leaves skin feeling so smooth and thoroughly cleaned. Definitely noticed a difference in the texture and appearance of my skin. Would definitely repurchase

Awesome price for good quality products! Loved the texture of this scrub, unfortunately due to my VERY sensitive skin this was not good for me and I would not recommend for sensitive skin people. However I gave it to a friend who has had great results and loves it. Hoping they make one similar for sensitive skin types.

This is my go to exfoliator- it’s perfect for my oily t-zone and leave my skin prepped beautifully for makeup. I use it twice a week

This scrub is awesome for oily skin, & keeping the blackheads away.

This scrub is great to scrub impurities out of my sensitive skin once or twice a week.

I used this product up to twice a week and it leaves my skin smooth and feeling fresh. It is a bit abrasive so I rub gently as to not aggrevate my skin. I like this product!

This has been great for removing dead skin, and generally brightening and improving skin tone.

I got a sample of this product and have used it with absolute pleasure. It leaves your skin super smooth and gets the crap off the surface. I did notice the few days following I always get a few whiteheads but I am guessing that's it bringing the stuff to the surface. Highly recommend!

Great for spot treating or for under the skin pimples. Really brings them to the surface. Also great for exfoliating.

This scrub gives a real deep clean. It has many small granules and you can feel them working with just a slight rub. Only need to use it twice per week.

This is the best cleanser, especially for acne prone skin. It lathers very well and is great for hyperpigmentation. I like that it has quite a high percentage of glycolic acid but not too much to irritate the skin. Would highly recommend for all oily to combo skin types

I started using this on my face after getting laser hair removal and my skin had never looked for felt better. My skin use to have a lot of clogged pores with dry areas and this takes complete care of it. Love it and would never change

Years ago I used this... And then started delving into other me expensive brands as I started making more money. However, in my mid 30s...acne reared it's ugly head AGAIN and whilst there are other 'good' glycolic based scrubs these are nothing compared to this scrub. Why did I ever let it go? Within the first 3 days of using this again... My skin is glowing. Skinstitut is a fabulous results driven brand. I'm actually thinking of replacing my whole range with skinstitut just like I did when I first discovered the brand 8 years ago. Value for money and results driven. What else could you ask for!

My go to product for breakouts. I usually will cleanses and then exfoliate my T section with this scrub. Its also amazing as a spot treatment for under the skin pimples - it brings them to the surface overnight if left on. Great!

I suffer from congested skin which leaves my face with little bumps and clogged pores. This AMAZING product helps unclog and smoothen my skin ! It’s gentle enough to use every night (which I love) !

I absolutely love this scrub, it's gentle enough not to irritate your skin while at the same time removing dead skin & left over fake tan

Love to use this glycolic scrub 1-2 times a week. Also great to leave as a spot treatment overnight when I have a pimple & it works so well in reducing redness & inflammation

Lovveee! This is my fave scrub! I love a scrub that actually feels like it is doing something! I use this a couple times a week and it doesn't dry out my skin after use. Love it! Feel so clean after.

Such a great product, its really exfoliating but at the same time feels really fine and gentle on the skin. It can have a bit of a tang/burn to it in sensitive areas. I usually leave it on a couple minutes to work before washing it off. Great!

Not harsh on my sensitive skin.Makes skin lovely and soft also great before self tan.great product

I have combination skin and adult acne. I tried this product out in the hope that it would assist with congestion, however it made my skin super sensitive and red and made even my gentle moisturisers sting my face! Would not recommend if your skin is sensitive or if you have stripped your skin barrier by using strong anti-acne products (such as retinal products).

makes your skin so smooth and clear! don't over use though as it can dry your skin out

Got to admit it was a little rough on my skin at first. So i only really used it twice a week but it definitely dried out acne and made the appearance less visible. Good Price too

love this product my skin and breakouts have been clearing up but those black heads were just sticking around. this scrub has worked really well in getting that dirt out and really cleaning my skin. such a good product and great for the price- a little goes a long way

I received this as a free gift with purchase about 6 months ago and I still have at least a third of the bottle left. I use it two to three times a week on areas where I get congested (jawline, chin, nose) and find that it really helps keep my skin clear without drying it out or rubbing it raw. I have dry and sensitive skin but find that if you use this is precise areas where you need it, it’s super effective at cleaning pores as well as minimizing dry patches. Will definitely buy a tube when I run out

I bought this body scrub because I’m having laser hair removal and it is recommended by the beauty therapist. I have normal skin type. I’m using this after 7 days after the laser to prevent ingrown hair. It is the best body scrub I have used. It feels really good, gives a good scrub without drying the skin and I’m not getting any ingrown at all. And it’s good for the fishes and the environment.

Can't fault this product or this brand. This light exfoliating scrub is a good, all over body product. I have sensitive skin so this has helped with dryness and breakouts. Highly recommend for those wanting to try a new exfoliating scrub that isn't harsh.

i have been using it for like 3 weeks now and it always gives my skin such a soft feeling .. a good product to keep. i regret not buying it earlier

Perfect exfoliator to use every other day after cleansing. Only a small amount needs to be used so it lasts a long time, and doesn't need to be left on the skin for long so easy to apply as part of my shower routine. Smooths my skin and reduces appearance of acne.

Love using this in the shower.. targeting my scars. I then use the even blend and vitamin c powder and over the year, i've seen fading of my scars on my back and legs!

I have combo skin prone to break outs. I also get a lot of congestion if I don't use a physical exfoliant every few days. This scrub cleared out my pores and reduces my congestion like no other scrub. I use it every other day and make sure to follow with a good night moisturiser.

This is a really great all rounder product to have. For starters its great for exfoliating the face and I usually leave it on a couple minutes on problem areas. I also use it a few days after laser hair removal and it helps with preventing in grown hairs - or ones that have already started. Only a pea size amount is needed too so the bottle lasts forever.

This scrub is the best one I've ever used. I use a lot of the other skinstitute products and this is probably my fav!
I usually use it once or twice a week and it deep cleans out all my pores. Normally I get to that point in the week where I feel my face is gross and this definitely helps clearing.

I use this scrub in conjunction with the facial cleanser. Amazing product! Leave soon you skin cleansed and hydrated and glowing. Very good product. Breakouts and clogged pores are also a thing of the past. I have combination skin. The glycolic acid in these products are the answer to clear and glowing skin!!

This product is great and excellent value for money. I have sensitive skin prone to breakouts and since using this with other Skinstitut products I have noticed clearer, cleaner skin. The product isn’t too abrasive, just enough to give a thorough clean and scrub. One tube lasts a looong time which also makes it great value. Really happy with this and will continue to use!

I love this product and how the granules really give your skin a good exfoliate while the glycolic works to get to the deeper layers of the skin. Great product for congested skin or combination to oily skin types.

I really like this scrub and it feels gentle on my skin, not too abrasive like some scrubs. I have noticed less blackheads since I started using it. My skin is prone to congestion and this seems to be helping, Would recommend. It's a good price for the amount you need to use (just a pea size amount a couple of times per week).

I bought this from laser clinics Australia after I got my first session of laser on my bikini line and saw it was on sale on adorebeauty and had to purchase more. I use it EVERYWHERE. Legs, butt, arms, back, face (use your ring fingers so you dont scrub too hard), bikini line, everywhere.

This is a great product for getting into those pores. I have fairly congested skin and after regular use (every second day for 2 weeks) my skin starts to clear up and the black heads start to disappear. This one is not a quick fix, so I wouldn't use it for the first time right before an event. It can bring out the impurities in the skin before it starts to get better. Be sure to start it at least a week prior. Either way this product does exactly what it's meant to do, clear up your skin and resurface

My favourite scrub love it

An overnight miracle scrub, all my blackheads were gone by the next morning. After the first scrub! I adore this product given the effectiveness. The smell is intense, in an unpleasant way, but a small price to pay I say. I have to mention my skin is not at all sensitive and I hardly break out, so the high level of acid wasn’t too harsh on my skin. I even use it on my arms and décolletage.

I have oily / combination skin which is also acne prone. Prior to using the Skinstitut products, I had terrible skin and had a difficult time controlling my breakouts. I have been using this range religiously for the last couple of years and it has transformed my skin. The Glycolic Scrub is my favourite product - I use it in the morning, twice a week, and it leaves my skin feeling super smooth and looking refreshed.

This product is hands down one of the biggest game changers in my bathroom. I always loved a good deep scrub so exfoliating was no stranger to me, but my skin never looked or felt as good as it does now. I’ve noticed a reduction in blackheads and pimples, and when I do get one they don’t last as long, pores appear smaller especially on and around my nose (my problem area) my makeup glides on easier, and congestion around my chin is reduced! Seriously amazing scrub that will be in my shower for a long time to come

I prefer other products in their range (eg. Enzymatic micropeel) that are not so harsh but still exfoliate the skin well.

Great scrub, not too harsh for me but may irritate more sensitive skins

I have an oily skin type and find that I get clogged pores constantly through my t-zone. Since using this product my skin has cleared up a crazy amount! I use it all over my face 2 times per week and as needed lightly through my congested areas leaving my skin feeling so smooth. Highly recommend.

Magical scrub works wonders!
This product is amazing works wonders for your skin. After one use of this your skin will glow and feel so soft and look nourished.

Amazing for what you pay for, I love the grit of the scrub combined with the Glycolic and will often leave this on for another 5 whilst I moisturise or brush my teeth. I find I have to make sure I'm using nice hydrating serums along with this as it can be a little drying if nothing extra is used in the routine.

I got this exfoliator as an Adore Beauty sample, and have been buying it ever since! A little goes a long way, and I use it 2-3 times a week depending on how dull I think my skin is looking. Keeps any hormonal break outs at bay, and leaves my skin feeling soooo soft, smooth and bright - highly recommend!!

This scrub is great. It’s not too harsh on my skin and leaves it feeling smooth and refreshed. You don’t need a lot of product. I will definitely buy this again.
