Snapshot date2026-11-02

A rinse-off physical facial scrub in a 2 fl oz jar. The exfoliant is pumice, carried in a cream base of water, glycerin, caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone and four fatty alcohols, with a three-peptide complex, a two-ceramide complex and four fruit and leaf extracts behind it. The listing calls the scent unscented and the finish polished; the declaration nonetheless carries a fragrance at position 38, which is why the fragrance-free claim fails below.

Use is wet the face, apply a small amount avoiding the eye area, massage for about 30 seconds, rinse, then follow with a mask for 10 to 15 minutes. The listing labels the texture gritty and the after-feel smooth, and asks buyers to patch test. No exfoliation frequency and no timeline for visible change is stated anywhere on the page.

02Rating and customer voice

The star distribution and the language buyers use to justify it are two different kinds of evidence. The first is arithmetic and can be read off a chart. The second is qualitative and only carries weight where enough people repeat it. Neither is pushed past what the product page actually published.

Shape of the rating

BandShare of ratingsImplied countReading
5 star77%8,997delighted, repeat-purchase intent
4 star13%1,519satisfied, small reservations
3 star6%701mixed, the swing group
2 star2%234disappointed on a stated promise
1 star2%234failed outright for this buyer

Five-star ratings outnumber one-star ratings by 38.5 to 1. A ratio this wide means the modal buyer is not merely tolerant of the formula, they are enthusiastic about it; the one-star tail still matters because it usually names a single mechanism that failed.

What buyers say, in aggregate

Published summary

Customers find this exfoliating scrub effective and gentle, noting it's not too harsh on the skin and can be used daily. The product receives positive feedback for its appearance, making skin look brighter and glowing, with one customer mentioning it provides medical-grade benefits at a fraction of the cost. The fine grains receive mixed reviews - while some find them perfect, others report bad reactions.

Verbatim review text did not render on the captured product page, so no quotation appears here. The aggregate summary and the aspect table above are the published substitutes. Nothing has been written on a reviewer's behalf, and no sample quotation has been reconstructed from memory.

03Ingredients

41 declared ingredients were merged into one roster and graded on three axes: comedogenic risk, irritation risk and overall safety. On all three, a lower number is safer. The level assigned to an ingredient is the highest of its three grades, so a single severe flag is never averaged away by two benign ones. Where the two reference databases disagree, the higher figure is kept and the spread is disclosed in the notes.

What’s inside

Alcohol-free EU-allergen-free Oil-free Paraben-free Sulfate-free Cruelty-free Reef-safe Not Fragrance-free Not Silicone-free Not Fungal-acne-safe Not Pore-clogger-free Not Vegan

A dashed tag is a failed claim, not a marketing variant: the formula does not meet that standard. A solid ink tag means the formula meets it on the declared list.

“Not graded” is missing data, not a clean record. Commodity vehicles and botanical blends routinely carry no grade in either database, and an absent grade must never be read as a zero.

Functional families

The family split is taken from the first stated function of each ingredient. It shows what the formula is mostly made of, which is usually a better guide to how it feels than the front-of-pack claim list.

Ingredients that carry a flag

#IngredientFunctionComedogenicIrritancyWhy it is listed
8Ethylhexyl PalmitateEmollient2-40comedogenic grade 2-4
10Ceteareth-20Cleansing23irritancy grade 3

A grade describes the ingredient in isolation, not this product. Position in the list matters: a flagged ingredient at the end of a long declaration is present at a far lower concentration than one near the front.

Class-level concerns

ConcernWhat it means
May Trigger AcneCan clog pores or trigger breakouts.
May Worsen Oily SkinMay increase shine or excess oil.
May Worsen EczemaMay worsen itching or irritation for eczema.
May Worsen RosaceaCan trigger flare-ups in rosacea-prone skin.

These are class-level warnings: the formula contains ingredients capable of the stated effect. They are not a prediction about any individual user, and a patch test on the inner forearm remains the only cheap way to resolve them.

Order follows the label. Ingredients below roughly the one-percent mark may be listed in any order, so the tail of this list carries position information that is weaker than it looks.

Reading the grades

The roster is the 41-ingredient declaration in label order, joined to one grading source. The second grading database was unreadable on this run, so no ingredient here carries a second opinion and the safety column is empty on every row. Thirty-one of 41 rows are ungraded: fifteen because the grading record omits them entirely, including every peptide and every ceramide the listing markets, and sixteen because the grade cells are blank. Two rows carry a flag - ethylhexyl palmitate at comedogenic 2 to 4, read at its upper bound, and ceteareth-20 at irritancy 3. Ungraded is missing data, never a zero.

04Price and history

Everything below is native USD against a U.S. delivery address. No currency has been converted and no value has been estimated. The history block covers the whole monitoring record rather than a rolling window, so a low from two years ago still counts.

No historical price channel answered for this product on the capture date, so the table above carries no history. The comparison below therefore uses the price points that the live listing itself published, each with its own reading.

These are simultaneous quotes from one page, not a time series. The gap between the list anchor and the one-time price is the printed discount; the gap to the subscription price is what the retailer pays for a repeat commitment.

06Data notes

  • No review text was captured. The inline review block did not render on the desktop product page, the mobile page was not served, and the dedicated review endpoint returned a login wall. The section shows the aggregate rating, the distribution and the published aspect summary only, and no quotation has been reconstructed.
  • No buyer photos were captured. The listing rendered no customer image tiles on any captured page, so the gallery holds the three listing photographs only. Listing imagery was not substituted for buyer imagery.
  • No historical price record was captured, so the price-history table in section 04 lists all three channels as having no record: no all-time low, high, average or dated extreme exists for this product in this report. Three routes to the historical price source returned a CDN challenge page. The only price observation anywhere in this report is the live listing snapshot of $20.00.
  • The second ingredient database was blocked at access level on this run, returning a challenge placeholder rather than any content. Its coverage of this product is therefore undetermined - this is an access block, not evidence that the product is unindexed.
  • Thirty-one of the 41 declared ingredients carry no grade at all, and no ingredient carries a grade from more than one source. Twenty-four percent grade coverage is the real ceiling of the ingredient section.
  • The second community source carries zero reviews for this product, so it contributes no rating. Its price field is a relative band of four dollar signs, not an amount, and has not been converted.
  • The community source's 27-row record omits fifteen ingredients that the label declares, including all six peptide and ceramide actives, and includes one ingredient the label does not declare. Benefit counts computed on that record are undercounts, and the discrepancy is disclosed rather than reconciled.
  • Price is a single snapshot from 2026-11-02 against a U.S. delivery ZIP of 10001, in native USD with no conversion. Every figure describes that moment and nothing else.
  • Ratings, prices and sales ranks move between captures. Every figure here describes the snapshot date at the top of the page and nothing else.
  • Ingredient grades are community-database aggregates used as a reference, not a regulatory or dermatological verdict. Formulas are reformulated without notice and the carton is the authoritative text.
  • No reviewer name, handle, profile link or other identifier appears anywhere in this report.
