Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Scrub Extreme 2.5 fl oz — 6% Glycolic + 1% Salicylic Exfoliating Face Scrub for Brightening & Pore Refining

Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Scrub Extreme is a concentrated 3-in-1 facial exfoliator combining 6% glycolic acid, 1% salicylic acid and physical beads to resurface skin, refine pores and brighten the complexion.

This targeted treatment tube delivers a higher-strength version of Nip+Fab’s glycolic scrub formulated to polish away dull surface cells while helping to clear and refine congested pores. Use it as part of your cleansing routine one to three times weekly to help lift dead skin, improve texture and refresh the look of skin that appears uneven or clogged. The formula also includes soothing aloe vera and an invigorating grapefruit scent for an energizing at-home resurfacing session.

How does this scrub resurface and brighten skin?

The product combines chemical exfoliation from glycolic acid with a beta-hydroxy salicylic acid and fine physical beads to tackle both surface dullness and pore congestion. Glycolic acid encourages cellular turnover which helps fade uneven tone and acne marks, while the beads smooth texture for immediate polish.

• 6% glycolic acid for AHA exfoliation and surface renewal
• Fine physical micro-beads to slough away dead cells
• 1% salicylic acid to help clear pore buildup and blackheads
• Aloe vera to calm skin after exfoliation

Will this work for oily or congested skin?

Yes — the blend of salicylic acid plus physical exfoliant is formulated to reduce shine and address congestion that causes enlarged-looking pores and blackheads. It's intended as a weekly or occasional intensive step rather than a daily scrub for oil control maintenance.

• Salicylic acid penetrates oily pores to help dissolve trapped debris
• Physical exfoliation removes surface oils and buildup
• Regular use (1–3× weekly) can help keep pores clearer and skin matte

How should I use it safely in my routine?

Apply a small amount to damp skin, gently massage to polish, then rinse thoroughly. Limit use to one to three times per week, avoid combining with other strong acids or retinoids on the same day, and always follow with SPF during daytime routines.

• Use on damp skin, massage gently, rinse well
• Start with once weekly, increase if skin tolerates it
• Follow daytime use with broad-spectrum sunscreen
• Avoid use on irritated or compromised skin

What are the sensation and aroma like?

The formula provides a tactile polishing feel from the beads and a mild tingling from active acids — typical with AHA/BHA products. A grapefruit fragrance gives a fresh, energizing scent while aloe vera helps soothe after exfoliation.

• Mild tingling from glycolic acid is normal
• Grapefruit fragrance for an awakening scent profile
• Aloe vera included to reduce post-exfoliation sensitivity

Who is this for: Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Scrub Extreme is designed for people seeking a weekly resurfacing treatment to improve texture, reduce the appearance of dullness and manage congested pores. It’s suited to oily and combination skin types or anyone experienced with acid exfoliants looking for a stronger over-the-counter glycolic option. If your skin is sensitive, consider patch-testing or choosing a lower-strength exfoliant before incorporating this higher-potency formula.
