Face Scrub "Apricot", 50 ml - PURE LINE

Elfa Pharm PURE LINE Puhastav näokoorija is a face scrub for normal and combination skin, chosen when the complexion looks dull, pores seem congested, or the surface feels uneven. It works through gentle mechanical exfoliation: fine apricot seed powder and silica polish away the layer of dead cells that can make skin look rough and tired. This helps the face feel smoother and look fresher after rinsing, without the harsh “over-scrubbed” feeling many people want to avoid.

The formula is interesting because it combines exfoliating particles with absorbent and softening ingredients. Kaolin clay and charcoal powder help lift excess oil and surface impurities from the skin, which is why this kind of scrub is often used on the T-zone or when pores appear more visible. At the same time, emollients such as shea butter, sweet almond oil, linseed oil and corn oil help reduce the dry, tight sensation that some cleansing products can leave behind. Urea and glycerin also help hold water in the upper layers of the skin, so the finish feels smoother rather than stripped.

Plant extracts add a balancing touch to the composition. Verbena and peony are included not as aggressive actives, but as botanical ingredients that fit a refreshing facial exfoliator aimed at a cleaner, more even-looking complexion. The apricot-chamomile scent gives the product a pleasant, classic scrub character, and the creamy base helps the particles glide more evenly during massage.

This scrub suits people who want to add a face exfoliator to their skin regimen once or twice a week, especially if makeup, sunscreen or urban dust tends to leave the skin looking less bright. It can be a good option before a hydrating mask or before the evening step of skincare, when you want the skin surface to feel more refined.

Because this is a mechanical exfoliant, use a light hand and avoid rubbing active breakouts, the eye area, or skin that feels irritated or very sensitive. If you already use acids, retinoids or other resurfacing products, it is wise not to combine them on the same day until you know how your skin responds.
