Exfoliates + Smooths Texture + Refines the Look of Pores
1.7 oz
Skin Script Retinol 2% Exfoliating Scrub/Mask combines physical exfoliation with retinol, kojic acid, and malic acid to target rough texture, dullness, visible pores, and uneven-looking skin.
Fine jojoba beads lift away surface buildup while 2% retinol supports skin renewal. Kojic acid helps improve the appearance of uneven tone and discoloration, while malic acid provides additional exfoliation. Skin feels smoother and softer, and pores and sebaceous filaments can look less noticeable.
Use it as a scrub for quick physical exfoliation or leave it on as a mask to give the formula more time on the skin.

Why Choose Skin Script?
Skin Script is a professional skincare line that combines effective ingredients with accessible pricing. The formulas are straightforward, results-focused, and easy to incorporate into a daily routine.
It's one of the reasons I like Skin Script so much: you can build an effective skincare routine for around $100 or less. The Retinol 2% Exfoliating Scrub/Mask is a great example of what the line does well, combining retinol, kojic acid, malic acid, and physical exfoliation in one product that can be used two different ways.
How to Use
After cleansing, apply an even layer to the face, neck, and chest, avoiding the eye area. Add a small amount of water and gently massage in circular motions for 1–2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
To use as a mask, leave on for up to 10 minutes before rinsing.
Use 2–3 times per week. I like using it at least twice a week: once as a scrub and once as a mask.
Follow with hydrating serum and moisturizer, and use sunscreen daily. Skin Script specifically recommends applying SPF in the morning when using this product.
Pila's Tip: This is actually the product that made me buy into the Skin Script line. I didn't start using it for blackheads or sebaceous filaments, but I noticed such an improvement in how visible mine were that it made me take a much closer look at the rest of the line. It's still one of my favorite Skin Script products. I also prefer using it in the morning. The immediate exfoliation leaves my skin smoother, so my makeup goes on better afterward.
Pairs Well With
Skin Script Ageless Skin Hydrating Serum: Apply after exfoliating to replenish hydration without adding another exfoliating step.
Skin Script Acai Berry Moisturizer: Follow with this lightweight but nourishing moisturizer to hydrate and keep freshly exfoliated skin feeling soft and comfortable. Skin Script recommends it for normal, combination, and dry skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I use Skin Script Retinol 2% Exfoliating Scrub/Mask?
A: Use it 2–3 times a week. I like using it at least twice: once as a scrub and once as a mask. You don't have to use it the same way every time. Skin Script also recommends 2–3 times weekly.
Q: What's the difference between using it as a scrub and using it as a mask?
A: When you massage it over your skin, the jojoba beads provide immediate physical exfoliation. When you leave it on as a mask for up to 10 minutes, you're giving the retinol, kojic acid, and malic acid more contact time with the skin before rinsing.
Q: Can Skin Script Retinol 2% Exfoliating Scrub/Mask help with sebaceous filaments?
A: Yes, it can help make them look less noticeable. Sebaceous filaments are a normal part of the pore and naturally refill, so they can't be permanently removed. Regular exfoliation can help reduce the oil and dead skin buildup that makes them more visible. This was actually one of the first differences I personally noticed when I started using this product.
Q: Can it help with blackheads and clogged pores?
A: Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin and surface buildup that can contribute to congestion and make pores look more noticeable. Skin Script lists acne among the concerns this product is designed for.
Q: Can I use this with other retinol or exfoliating acids?
A: I wouldn't layer another retinol, scrub, peel, or strong exfoliating acid in the same routine. Follow this with hydrating products and moisturizer instead.
Q: Can I use the Skin Script Retinol Scrub in the morning?
A: Yes. I actually prefer using it in the morning because the exfoliation leaves my skin feeling smoother before I apply makeup. Follow with the rest of your skincare and sunscreen.
Q: Is a 2% retinol scrub the same as a leave-on 2% retinol treatment?
A: No. This is a rinse-off scrub/mask rather than a leave-on retinol product, so the percentages aren't directly comparable. How a retinol product performs depends on the complete formula, how it's used, and how long it remains on the skin.
