Key ingredients (why it works)
- Salicylic Acid: A beta-hydroxy acid that gets deep into pores to clear out excess oil and reduce the appearance of blemishes.

- Shea Butter: An ultra-nourishing butter that melts into skin to provide long-lasting comfort and softness.

For the best results
- Week 1: Skin may start to feel smoother and look more refreshed from the first few uses.
- Week 4: With regular use, you may begin to notice a difference in texture and pores can start to appear more refined.

Always apply your exfoliator to damp skin and use gentle, small circular motions — too much pressure or dry skin can cause irritation. Follow immediately with a hydrating serum or moisturiser while the skin is still slightly damp.
Frequently asked questions
Q: How often should I use a coffee facial exfoliator?
A: Two to three times a week is ideal for most skin types. Apply to damp skin, massage gently in circular motions for about a minute, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid daily use as over-exfoliation can irritate the skin.
Q: Does a coffee exfoliator help with blackheads?
A: Coffee grounds are an effective physical exfoliant that helps dislodge the dead skin cells and debris that contribute to blackheads and clogged pores. Regular use helps keep pores looking cleaner and the skin smoother overall.
