Does the pineapple extract actually exfoliate the skin, and can I still use a body scrub alongside this milk?

Pineapple extract contains bromelain, an enzyme complex naturally present in the fruit. In cosmetics, enzymes like this are valued because they help loosen the tiny dead cells sitting on the skin surface. The result is a gentle polishing effect: skin can look fresher and feel softer to the touch over time. It is important to set expectations correctly — this is not a peel or an acid treatment. In a leave-on body milk, the enzyme component works mildly and gradually with regular use; you should not expect visible peeling or an immediate dramatic change after one application.

Regarding scrubs: yes, you can still use one, and the two actually complement each other in a sensible routine. A practical approach:

• Use a mechanical scrub 1–2 times a week in the shower, then apply this milk afterwards — freshly exfoliated skin tends to absorb the coconut and avocado oils particularly well.
• On the other days, the milk alone provides its gentle enzymatic smoothing plus moisture, so you are not over-scrubbing.
• If your skin is on the sensitive side, avoid combining a scrub, an acid product and this milk all on the same day — layering several exfoliating actions can leave skin feeling irritated.

If you know you are sensitive to pineapple or bromelain, pay attention to how your skin reacts, apply only to intact skin, and stop use if irritation appears.
