AROUND ME Natural Perfume Vita Body Scrub Yuja
Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Honey extract + 6 moreWorks
“Infused with Yuzu Extract that contains Vitamin C to improve skin tone, hydrates and enhances skin elasticity.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, honey extract.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
Evens skin toneAlbizia julibrissin bark extract, Ascorbic acid + 1 moreNot delivered
“Infused with Yuzu Extract that contains Vitamin C to improve skin tone, hydrates and enhances skin elasticity.”
This product contains ingredients (albizia julibrissin bark extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
ExfoliationMicrocrystalline celluloseNot delivered
“Benefits: A yuzu-scented hypoallergenic body scrub to gently exfoliate the skin, preventing skin roughness due to the build-up of dead skin cells.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.

Ingredient callouts
- This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.10% - 0.20%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
- Humectants (glycerin 3.60% - 4.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
Price
The product retails from 10.50$ up to 14.00$ in the United States.
