The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Microdermabrasion Facial Scrub — 100ml, vegan vitamin C exfoliant for brighter skin

The Body Shop Vitamin C Glow Boosting Microdermabrasion is a vegan facial scrub that gently buffs away dead skin and surface residue to reveal a smoother, brighter-looking complexion.

This 100ml exfoliating treatment combines fine physical particles with vitamin C–rich camu camu extract to polish skin texture and help restore radiance. Formulated with at least 90% natural-origin ingredients and housed in recyclable packaging, the formula is designed for regular use on tired or dull skin to refresh and soften the surface without heavy oils or harsh chemicals.

How will this microdermabrasion fit into my weekly skincare routine?

Use the scrub 1–3 times per week depending on your skin’s sensitivity and the strength of your existing exfoliation habits. Apply to damp skin, massage gently in circular motions, then rinse thoroughly—avoid daily use to prevent over-exfoliation.

• Frequency: start once weekly, increase if skin tolerates it
• Application: damp skin, gentle circular massage
• Follow-up: hydrate with serum and moisturizer after rinsing
• Precautions: avoid broken or highly irritated skin

What makes this Vitamin C formula different from a basic scrub?

Instead of large abrasive beads, this product uses a fine blend of exfoliating particles including crushed garnet stones for precise surface polishing. The formula is boosted with camu camu, a fruit concentrate high in naturally occurring vitamin C, to help the skin appear more luminous after exfoliation.

• Exfoliants: fine particles and crushed garnet for controlled buffing
• Active ingredient: camu camu for vitamin C content
• Texture: smooth, non-greasy rinse-off paste
• Result: softer, more even-feeling skin surface

Is this product suitable for sensitive or combination skin?

The scrub is formulated to be effective without heavy oils, but its physical exfoliants mean it may be too intense for very sensitive or compromised skin. If you have sensitivity, perform a patch test and reduce frequency; those with combination or normal skin typically tolerate gentle, short massages and weekly use well.

• Sensitive skin: patch test first; use less frequently
• Combination/oily skin: effective at removing surface buildup
• Normal/dull skin: good option for weekly resurfacing
• Always follow with SPF in daytime routines

How does this product reflect The Body Shop’s sustainability and ethical commitments?

The Vitamin C line is made with at least 90% natural-origin ingredients and comes in recyclable packaging, reflecting The Body Shop’s emphasis on quality ingredients with a positive impact. The brand also maintains cruelty-free policies and sources key botanicals ethically.

• Ingredient profile: 90%+ natural-origin components

• Ethics: cruelty-free and responsibly sourced extracts
• Brand mission: combining beauty with social and environmental care

Who is this for? This exfoliating microdermabrasion is designed for people with tired, dull, or textured skin seeking a weekly physical polish that also supports skin brightness with vitamin C-rich camu camu. It’s suited to vegan shoppers who prefer largely natural-origin formulations and recyclable packaging, but those with highly reactive or broken skin should choose a gentler chemical or enzyme-based exfoliant instead.
