I have dry, sensitive skin — will this scrub feel too harsh? — Facial Scrub "Pure Line" Raspberry and Cranberry 50 ml.

This scrub was formulated for dry and sensitive skin, with a focus on polishing rather than aggressively sanding the face. The exfoliating particles come from cranberry seeds, which the manufacturer describes as milder than sharp, aggressive particles. Alongside these particles, the formula contains almond oil, flaxseed oil and olive oil. These oils help reduce the tight feeling that can appear after cleansing by forming a light softening layer on the skin surface. Raspberry juice is included for its soothing effect and to help the skin look calmer and more even in tone, while verbena and peony extracts are botanical ingredients often used in skincare for easily reacting skin.

Still, a gentle label does not guarantee zero reaction. If your skin is easily reddened or very reactive, use a light touch and avoid pressing the scrub into the skin. Do not apply it on irritated or broken areas. If you are particularly delicate, patch testing on a small area of your jaw or cheek first is a sensible step before using it over the whole face. Exfoliation removes surface cells, so avoid combining this scrub with strong chemical exfoliants or retinol on the same day unless a specialist advises otherwise.
