Ole Henriksen 10% AHA Strawberry Lemonade Smoothing Scrub — 3 oz, gentle dual chemical + sugar exfoliant

This 3 oz smoothing scrub from OLEHENRIKSEN pairs chemical and physical exfoliation to refresh rough, dull skin. The formula uses glycolic and lactic acids to loosen dead skin cells, while ultra-fine sugar and lemon peel buff away residue for a brighter, more even surface. Calming plant extracts help temper sensitivity after exfoliation, and the product is formulated without common irritants and is vegan and cruelty-free.

How does this scrub reshape skin texture without harshness?

The scrub blends 10% AHAs (glycolic and lactic acids) for controlled chemical exfoliation with ultra-fine sugar and lemon peel for gentle physical polishing. This combination helps lift and sweep away dead skin without heavy abrasion.

• 10% AHA concentration targets surface texture and promotes smoother skin feel.
• Ultra-fine sugar particles provide a delicate physical buff, not coarse scratching.
• Lemon peel powder adds mild polishing and a natural brightening element.
• Holy basil and chamomile extracts help calm the skin after exfoliation.

Can I use this on my face as well as my body?

Yes — the formulation is suitable for face and body, but treat facial skin more gently and monitor sensitivity. Start with a small patch and use less pressure on delicate areas, avoiding broken or inflamed skin.

• Recommended for Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily skin types.
• Apply sparingly on the face; use slightly more on thicker body areas like elbows and knees.
• Do not use on active rashes, open wounds, or severely irritated skin.
• Follow with sunscreen after use—AHAs can increase sun sensitivity.

What results and sensory experience should I expect?

After rinsing, skin typically feels smoother and looks more polished with a refined appearance. The texture is a grainy scrub that dissolves and rinses clean, leaving a faint citrus-floral scent from its low-percentage fragrance and botanical extracts.

• Visible smoothing and reduced roughness after one use for many users.
• Light, refreshing scent with less than 1% synthetic fragrance.
• Non-greasy finish that preps skin for serums or moisturizers.
• Formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates, mineral oil, and other listed actives.

Who is this for? If you want to refine uneven texture, polish away dull surface cells, and safely combine chemical and physical exfoliation, this 3 oz OLEHENRIKSEN scrub is designed for you. It suits a wide range of skin types—normal to oily, dry to combination—when used thoughtfully: patch-test first, use moderate frequency (1–3 times weekly depending on tolerance), and always follow exfoliation with sun protection. The formulation’s calming botanicals and clean-ingredient profile make it a good option for shoppers seeking an effective, cruelty-free exfoliant without many common irritants.
