Mario Badescu Botanical Exfoliating Scrub – Ivory Palm Seeds, Green Tea & Aloe | All Skin Types | 3.4 fl oz

Gentle exfoliation for a refreshed, balanced complexion

Give your skin a fresh start with the Mario Badescu Botanical Exfoliating Scrub. This lightweight, gel-based formula polishes away dull buildup without over-drying, making it suitable for all skin types. After use, the complexion often looks brighter, softer, and more even, with a comfortable, balanced feel you can sense as you touch your skin. The rinse-off formula helps prep skin for serums and moisturizers, supporting a smoother transition between steps in your routine.

What makes this scrub stand out is its botanical blend. Finely ground Ivory Palm Seeds provide a natural, non-abrasive polish that refines texture without irritation. Aloe Vera, Coconut, and Gingko work together to replenish hydration and comfort during exfoliation, helping skin feel calm and supple. Ginger and Green Tea Extract contribute a revitalizing touch that may help maintain a fresh-looking complexion over time, without promising specific results.
