Salicylic-acid scrub for light physical exfoliation; gentle, not ingrown-hair magic.

What the community says

A scrub with salicylic acid and silica that people use a few times weekly for light exfoliation. It tends to suit sensitive skin that still wants some grit, but it is a bad bet for ingrown hairs or very reactive faces.
