Alba Botanica Hawaiian Pineapple Enzyme Facial Scrub – 4 oz, Pore Purifying Exfoliant with Aloe & Jojoba

Alba Botanica Hawaiian Pore Purifying Pineapple Enzyme Facial Scrub is a 4 oz plant-based exfoliant that uses pineapple enzymes, papaya, and gentle granules to help smooth skin and reduce the look of pores.

Formulated for everyday skin renewal, this 100% vegetarian facial scrub blends botanical fruit enzymes and non-irritating buffing particles with soothing aloe and jojoba oil. It’s free from parabens, phthalates, and harsh sulfates, and is cruelty-free—designed to deliver a refreshed, more even-looking complexion without aggressive chemicals. The scrub’s texture and natural ingredients aim to slough away dead skin cells while calming botanicals help maintain hydration and comfort.

How does this scrub refine pores without over-drying?

The formula pairs pineapple and papaya enzymes with soft exfoliating granules to remove surface buildup that can emphasize pores, while aloe and jojoba seed oil help preserve moisture. That combination reduces the appearance of pores visually without stripping natural oils.

• Pineapple enzyme helps dissolve surface dead skin cells.
• Papaya contributes mild brightening and gentle exfoliation.
• Fine, non-abrasive granules provide tactile polishing.
• Aloe and jojoba oil restore moisture and soothe skin.

What skin types can use Alba Botanica Pineapple Enzyme Scrub?

This scrub is formulated for most skin types, especially normal, combination, and dull skin that needs surface renewal. Sensitive skin users should patch-test first since enzymes and physical granules can cause irritation for very reactive skin.

• Suitable: normal, combination, and oily-leaning skin.
• Caution: perform a patch test if you have very sensitive or compromised skin.
• Not intended for use on broken or inflamed skin.
• Can be incorporated into a weekly or biweekly exfoliation routine.

How should I use the scrub in my skincare routine?

Use on clean, damp skin two to three times per week or as tolerated. Massage gently in circular motions then rinse thoroughly; follow with toner, serum, and moisturizer to lock in hydration and support skin barrier recovery.

• Apply to damp face—avoid the eye area.
• Massage 30–60 seconds for light exfoliation.
• Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
• Follow with moisturizer and SPF in the morning routine.

What makes this product a botanical, cruelty-free option?

• 100% vegetarian formulation with botanical extracts.
• Free from parabens, phthalates, and harsh sulfates.
• Cruelty-free (not tested on animals).

Who is this for: Ideal for shoppers seeking a botanical facial scrub that gently polishes and brightens without synthetic fragrances or aggressive surfactants. It suits individuals looking to soften texture, minimize the visible appearance of pores, and refresh dull complexions while prioritizing vegetarian, cruelty-free ingredients. If you have very sensitive skin or active irritation, consult product instructions and consider a patch test first.
