Is this scrub a physical or chemical exfoliant? — Facial Scrub "Pure Line" Raspberry and Cranberry 50 ml.

This is a physical or mechanical exfoliator: its exfoliating action comes from cranberry seed particles that lift away dead surface cells when massaged over the skin. It is not an acid-based product. The source material explicitly positions it as a practical option for people who do not want stronger acid peeling treatments, because the exfoliation occurs through gentle friction rather than chemical dissolution of cell bonds.

This difference matters if you are comparing products. Acid peels such as AHAs or BHAs work throughout the skin's surface layer and can be more difficult to control for sensitive skin, while a physical scrub's impact depends mainly on how much pressure you use and how often you exfoliate. Since the particles here are from cranberry seeds, they are designed to be milder than sharp, aggressive particles. However, even a mild physical scrub will not suit every day for most dry or sensitive skin types. If you normally use acid toners or creams, avoid layering a physical scrub on top of them on the same day unless you know your skin tolerates it. This scrub is a convenient option for a simple facial cleansing ritual, but it is not intended to replace a medical skincare treatment and should not be used on irritated areas.
