Ole Henriksen 10% AHA Strawberry Lemonade Smoothing Scrub 3 oz — Glycolic & Lactic Exfoliant

This three-ounce jar combines 10% glycolic and lactic acids with ultra-fine sugar and lemon peel to lift dead skin cells and buff away rough patches. Formulated to target dullness, uneven texture, and the appearance of enlarged pores, the product balances potent resurfacing acids with calming botanicals like holy basil and chamomile. Free from many common irritants and cruelty-free, this scrub is designed for regular use as part of an at-home skin-renewal routine.

How does the scrub actually smooth skin without over-drying?

The formula uses a two-pronged approach: AHAs help loosen the bonds between dead surface cells while the fine sugar and lemon peel physically polish the skin. This combination removes buildup without relying on harsh, abrasive particles, and the soothing extracts reduce the sensation of irritation after exfoliation.

• 10% AHA blend (glycolic + lactic) for chemical resurfacing
• Ultra-fine sugar and lemon peel for gentle physical buffing
• Holy basil and chamomile to help calm and comfort skin
• Less than 1% synthetic fragrance and many common irritants excluded

When should I use this scrub in my skincare routine?

Use it on clean, dry or damp skin as a targeted exfoliation step, not as a leave-on treatment. Because of the AHA content, apply this scrub up to a few times weekly depending on your skin's tolerance, then follow with hydrating and SPF products during daytime use.

• Apply after cleansing, before serums and moisturizers
• Limit daytime sun exposure and always use SPF post-exfoliation
• Start with once weekly and increase frequency as tolerated
• Not intended as a daily replacement for gentle cleansers

Is this suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The scrub balances a moderate AHA concentration with gentle physical exfoliants and soothing botanicals, which can work for many skin types when used carefully. Those with known sensitivity to AHAs, active eczema, or open lesions should patch-test and consult a dermatologist before regular use.

• Formulated for normal, dry, combination, and oily skin types
• Peppered with calming extracts to reduce post-exfoliation redness
• Contains no parabens, sulfates SLS/SLES, or common harsh additives
• Vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free

What immediate results and longer-term benefits can I expect?

Right away you should notice smoother, more polished skin texture and a brighter surface after buffing and rinsing. With consistent use, the resurfacing action of AHAs and regular physical exfoliation can help reduce rough patches, improve product absorption, and refine the look of pores.

• Immediate: visibly polished, softer skin after rinsing
• Short term: fewer dry spots and improved skin-tone uniformity
• Ongoing: enhanced texture and better uptake of active treatments
• Packaging: convenient 3oz jar for travel and at-home rituals

Who is this for: This scrub is made for people seeking a powerful at-home resurfacer that pairs chemical AHAs with mild physical exfoliation to tackle dullness and uneven texture. It suits those who can tolerate a moderate AHA level and want clear, polished results without heavy fragrances or many common irritants. If you have very sensitive or compromised skin, start conservatively and patch-test before regular use.
