Nécessaire Body Exfoliator — 180 ml gentle AHA/BHA/PHA in-shower scrub for smoothing keratosis pilaris and rough patches

Nécessaire The Body Exfoliator is an in-shower dual-action exfoliant combining volcanic pumice with AHA, BHA and PHA to visibly smooth rough patches and help improve the appearance of keratosis pilaris, ingrown hairs and textured skin.

This fragrance-free formula blends gentle physical buffing with a trio of chemical exfoliants designed for regular use in the shower. It rinses clean, is dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic, and is crafted without sulfates, silicones, parabens or phthalates. The product targets bumpy, uneven body skin while keeping the barrier feeling hydrated and non-stripped.

How does it combine physical and chemical exfoliation?

The Body Exfoliator uses volcanic pumice particles to sweep away surface dead skin while AHA (alpha hydroxyacid), BHA (beta hydroxyacid) and PHA (polyhydroxyacid) work at different layers to loosen bonds between cells and clear pores. Together they smooth texture without heavy scrubbing.

• Volcanic pumice provides tactile resurfacing for visible smoothing.
• AHA promotes surface cell turnover for even tone.
• BHA penetrates follicles to help with ingrown hairs.
• PHA offers gentle, hydrating chemical exfoliation for sensitive skin.

When and how should I use it in my routine?

Use this exfoliator in the shower on wet skin, a few times weekly depending on tolerance and skin needs. Massage evenly over rough areas, rinse thoroughly, and follow with a body moisturizer while skin is still damp to lock in softness.

• Apply on damp skin during showering; avoid broken or inflamed areas.
• Massage gently—no need for aggressive scrubbing—to minimize irritation.
• Rinse completely and pat dry before applying body hydration.
• Start with 1–2 times weekly, then increase frequency as tolerated.

Is it suitable for sensitive or fragrance-sensitive skin?

The formula is fragrance-free and created to be non-drying and non-stripping, making it a good choice for fragrance-sensitive users. It is dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic, but users with highly reactive skin should patch-test first and consult a clinician if concerned.

• No added fragrances or masking agents—neutral base suitable for layering.
• Formulated without SLS/SLES, silicones, parabens, phthalates, PEGs.
• Dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic and vegan-friendly.

What visible improvements can I expect and when?

With consistent, correct use you can expect smoother-feeling skin and a reduction in the look of rough patches, keratosis pilaris bumps and ingrown-hair visibility over several weeks. Results vary by skin type and frequency of use.

• Smoother texture often noticed after a few treatments.
• Reduced appearance of bumps and fewer ingrown hairs with ongoing use.
• Works well as part of a maintenance routine alongside moisturizers.
