AHAVA Facial Mud Exfoliator 3.4 fl oz — Dead Sea Mud & Osmoter™ gentle polish for smoother, brighter skin

AHAVA Time To Clear Facial Mud Exfoliator is a gentle mud-based scrub that cleanses, buffs away dead skin and transforms into a creamy moisturizer when mixed with water.

This facial mud exfoliator combines Dead Sea minerals with AHAVA's Osmoter™ complex and Vitamin E to reveal a smoother, brighter-looking complexion while helping your next steps of skincare absorb better. The product starts as a textured, cream-mud scrub that softens into a velvety emulsion as you add water, making it easy to rinse away without over-drying. It is allergy tested and formulated without parabens.

How does this mud exfoliator remove dead skin without irritating sensitive areas?

The formula uses finely textured Dead Sea mud particles to polish the surface of skin gently, rather than coarse grains that can cause micro-tears. AHAVA balances physical exfoliation with hydrating ingredients so the process feels smoothing rather than abrasive.

• Dead Sea mud provides gentle polishing minerals
• Texture converts to creamy emulsion with water for a softer finish
• Allergy tested to minimize irritation risk

Will this product help skincare serums and moisturizers work better?

By removing surface dead skin and impurities, the exfoliator improves skin texture and can increase the uptake of serums and moisturizers applied afterward. The presence of Osmoter™ and emollient Vitamin E supports skin barrier comfort so following products sit more evenly on the skin.

• Smooths skin surface for improved product contact
• Osmoter™ helps maintain mineral balance for healthier-looking skin
• Vitamin E adds antioxidant-supportive conditioning

How do you use it for best results and how often should you apply it?

Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin, massage in gentle circular motions, then add water to emulsify into a creamy texture and continue massaging briefly before rinsing. Frequency depends on skin type: once or twice weekly for most skin types; adjust if you have very sensitive or compromised skin.

• Massage onto dry or slightly damp face in circles
• Add water to transform scrub into cream, then rinse thoroughly
• Use 1–2 times per week or as tolerated

Does the product contain harsh preservatives or allergens?

This formulation is paraben-free and has been allergy tested, aiming to reduce common preservative concerns. If you have specific sensitivities, check the full ingredient list and patch-test before first use.

• Paraben-free formulation
• Allergy tested to lower irritation potential
• Recommended patch-test for known sensitivities
