The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Microdermabrasion Scrub 100ml — Vegan exfoliant for brighter, smoother skin

The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Microdermabrasion is a gentle, vitamin C–enriched facial scrub that buffs away dead skin with fine exfoliating particles for a smoother, brighter-looking complexion.

Designed to revive tired, lackluster skin, this 100ml vegan microdermabrasion scrub combines finely milled particles — including crushed garnet stones — with Camu camu extract to help refresh skin texture and reveal a more radiant appearance. The formula focuses on physical exfoliation along with antioxidant-rich vitamin C from camu camu berries and is made with at least 90% natural-origin ingredients in recyclable packaging.

How does this scrub gently remove dead skin without over-stripping?

The Body Shop's microdermabrasion uses very fine abrasive particles that physically slough away dead skin cells while a creamy carrier calms the skin surface, so the action is effective without harsh tearing. The texture is designed for controlled pressure and short massage, reducing the risk of irritation compared with coarser scrubs.

• Fine crushed garnet stone provides controlled physical exfoliation.
• Creamy base cushions skin during massage to minimize abrasion.
• Short, gentle application recommended, then rinse thoroughly.

What role does vitamin C from camu camu play in this formula?

Camu camu is included as a natural source of vitamin C, which supports the appearance of brightness and a more even-looking tone in cosmetic skincare routines. In this product it complements exfoliation by leaving the skin looking refreshed and more luminous at the surface.

• High natural vitamin C content in camu camu extract for antioxidant support.
• Works with exfoliation to reveal fresher-looking skin underneath.
• Part of a routine aimed at improving radiance, not a medical treatment.

How should I use it for best results and safety?

Use on clean, damp skin one to two times weekly, massaging in gentle circular motions and avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, pat dry, then follow with your usual serum and moisturizer; always use SPF during the day after exfoliation.

• Apply to damp face, avoiding sensitive eyelids and broken skin.
• Massage gently for about 30–60 seconds, then rinse clean.
• Limit frequency to prevent over-exfoliation; follow with SPF daytime protection.

Who is this for: This microdermabrasion scrub is aimed at people with dull or texture-prone skin who want a brighter-looking complexion through physical exfoliation.
