St.Ives Coconut & Coffee Scrub 170g

St. Ives Coconut & Coffee Scrub is a physical exfoliating facial scrub formulated to cleanse and remove dead skin cells using natural exfoliants. It belongs to the class of mechanical exfoliators, containing key ingredients such as walnut shell powder, coffee extract (caffeine), and coconut fruit extract. The formulation also includes humectants like glycerin and mild surfactants to support cleansing while maintaining some hydration. While generally well tolerated, some users may experience mild skin irritation, redness, dryness, or a tingling sensation—especially with frequent or vigorous use. If you are considering this product, you may want to know that it uses 100% natural exfoliants, has a strong coffee scent, and provides a deep scrub feel that may be more suitable for normal to oily skin types.
