Our verdict

A deep exfoliating apricot scrub for oily or dull skin that needs a strong physical polish. The walnut grit is coarse, so sensitive or reactive skin may find it too rough.

Overview

Anyone fighting dull skin and clogged pores gets a gritty apricot scrub that uses crushed walnut shell powder to buff the face. Massage it over damp skin, rinse, and repeat a few times a week rather than daily.

Deep exfoliation from a natural walnut grit leaves skin feeling noticeably smoother after one rinse. That same grit is the limitation: physical scrubs can feel harsh on thin or sensitive skin, and it is not meant for daily use.

Who it's for

Suited to normal and oily skin that enjoys a vigorous weekly polish to clear pores. People with reactive skin or active breakouts should use a gentle chemical exfoliant instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Natural walnut shell exfoliant
  • Oil free and paraben free
  • Dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic
Cons
  • Coarse grit can irritate sensitive skin
  • Not for daily use
  • Unit count conflicts with the volume listed

Performance notes

Walnut shell particles physically lift dead skin as they are rubbed in, so results depend on pressure and how long you massage. Light circles with damp skin give a polish; scrubbing hard on dry skin raises the risk of redness.
