“Limpia y exfolia tu piel con Essential Scrub, el limpiador facial de uso diario con textura en gel y partículas exfoliantes suaves que eliminan las células muertas.”
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.
