Skin Script Retinol 2% Exfoliating Scrub/Mask
1.7 oz
When your skin feels rough, looks dull, or your pores seem more noticeable no matter how well you're cleansing, sometimes it simply needs better exfoliation.
Skin Script Retinol 2% Exfoliating Scrub/Mask combines fine jojoba beads with 2% retinol, kojic acid, and malic acid to smooth uneven texture, brighten dull-looking skin, and help improve the appearance of discoloration, visible pores, blackheads, and sebaceous filaments.
What Makes It Different
This is both a physical and chemical exfoliator. Fine jojoba beads physically lift away dead skin and surface buildup, while retinol, kojic acid, and malic acid help improve the appearance of rough texture, dullness, uneven tone, and discoloration.
Together, the physical and chemical exfoliation also helps clear away the buildup that can make pores, blackheads, and sebaceous filaments look more noticeable.
Key Ingredients
Retinol 2%
Supports skin renewal to help improve the appearance of uneven texture, dullness, discoloration, and fine lines. Regular exfoliation also helps reduce the buildup that can make blackheads and sebaceous filaments look more noticeable.
Kojic Acid
Helps brighten the appearance of uneven skin tone, dark spots, and discoloration.
Malic Acid
An alpha hydroxy acid that chemically exfoliates to smooth rough texture, brighten dull-looking skin, and help clear away buildup around the pores.
Jojoba Esters
Fine, rounded beads that provide physical exfoliation by lifting away dead skin cells and surface buildup, helping skin feel smoother and pores look more refined.
Why It Stands Out
* Combines physical and chemical exfoliation in one product
* Smooths rough, uneven skin texture
* Brightens dull-looking skin and helps improve the appearance of discoloration
* Helps pores, blackheads, and sebaceous filaments look less noticeable
* Can be used as either a scrub or an exfoliating mask
* Leaves skin feeling immediately softer and smoother
Pila's tip: One of the first things I noticed when I started using this was how much less noticeable my sebaceous filaments looked. I prefer using it in the morning because the exfoliation leaves my skin so smooth that my makeup goes on better afterward.
How to Use
After cleansing, apply an even layer to the face, neck, and chest, avoiding the eye area.
As a scrub: Add a small amount of water and gently massage in circular motions for 1–2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
As a mask: Leave on for up to 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Use 2–3 times per week. Follow with a hydrating serum and moisturizer. If you also use a leave-on retinol or exfoliating acids, adjust frequency based on your skin's tolerance. Use sunscreen daily.
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 moisturizer to keep freshly exfoliated skin feeling soft and comfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does Skin Script Retinol 2% Exfoliating Scrub/Mask help with blackheads and sebaceous filaments?
A: It can help make them look less noticeable by exfoliating dead skin and buildup around the pores. Sebaceous filaments are a normal part of the pore and naturally refill, so they can't be permanently removed.
Q: Is Skin Script Retinol 2% Exfoliating Scrub/Mask a physical or chemical exfoliant?
A: It's both. Fine jojoba beads provide physical exfoliation, while retinol, kojic acid, and malic acid provide chemical exfoliation to help smooth texture, brighten uneven-looking skin, and reduce surface buildup.
Q: Can I use Skin Script Retinol 2% Exfoliating Scrub/Mask with another retinol?
A: Yes. Because this is a rinse-off retinol product, it can be used in a routine that also includes a leave-on retinol such as Skin Script Advanced Renewal Serum. If your skin is sensitive or new to retinol, introduce products gradually and adjust how often you use them based on how your skin responds.
Q: Is the 2% retinol in this scrub the same as a leave-on 2% retinol treatment?
A: No. This is a rinse-off scrub and mask rather than a leave-on retinol treatment, 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.
