MartiDerm Facial Scrub

MartiDerm Facial Scrub is a dual-action exfoliant for oily and combination skin that combines fine physical beads with a pore-clearing acid to smooth texture, reduce shine and help improve the look of pores. It’s intended for non-sensitive skin types who want a deeper clean without stripping.

What it is

How to use

Use 2–3 times a week. Avoid daily use to prevent irritation.

• Preparation: Start with a gentle cleanser and damp skin.
• Application: Apply a pea-sized amount, then gently massage in small circular motions for 1–2 minutes, concentrating on the T‑zone and areas with congestion.
• Rinse: Remove thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
• Finish: Follow with a hydrating serum or moisturiser. If you use the scrub during the day, apply an SPF afterwards to protect freshly exfoliated skin.

Why it works

• Salicylic acid: A beta-hydroxy acid that helps clear oil-blocked pores for a cleaner feel.
• Aluminium oxide & silica: Fine exfoliating particles that smooth rough texture without harsh scratching when used as directed.
• Bentonite & zinc oxide: Absorb excess sebum and contribute to a mattified finish.

What to expect

• Immediately: smoother skin feel, reduced surface shine and a refreshed complexion after rinsing.
• With regular use: improved pore appearance and fewer surface bumps over a few weeks when incorporated into a consistent routine.

Good to know

• Always patch test before first use and stop if persistent irritation occurs.
• Do not use on broken, inflamed or very sensitive skin.
• If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or under medical treatment, consult a healthcare professional before using products containing salicylic acid.
• Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly if contact occurs.
