Cookies N Clean Whipped Clay Intensive Pore + Blackhead Face Scrub with Volcanic Sand + Charcoal

Cleanser · 30 ingredients

A whipped clay face scrub designed to deeply cleanse pores and improve skin texture, particularly suited for oily or congested skin prone to blackheads. Volcanic sand and silica act as microderm-inspired physical exfoliants to help unclog pores and retexturize the skin's surface, while charcoal absorbs excess oil and draws out impurities. Salicylic acid (BHA) works alongside these to clarify and refine the appearance of pores. The formula is fragrance-free and made without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, or mineral oils.
