Just-scrubby-enough face scrub with sesame and silicum microspheres / 1.67 oz

Gommage Bio was just what our selection of facial scrubs needed: a slightly scrubbier, “ooh, this is working,” but still kind-to-skin option. It’s a gentle but effective, creamy scrub that uses perfectly round yet pleasantly gritty silicum microspheres to give skin a soft-focus effect and silky-powdery feel after treatment. Sesame plays a protective role in the formulation, while verbena lends refreshing qualities that are particularly helpful on combination skin. It’s one of those sneaky products that we didn’t expect to think much of, but then found ourselves unable to do without — perhaps because it is so perfectly balanced and leaves skin so baby-soft.

You can use Gommage Bio in two slightly different ways. Gently massaging it onto dry or wet skin and rinsing right away provides a pleasant massage action boosted with the detoxifying efficacy of lemon verbena. You can also use it as a mask by leaving it on skin for 10 minutes to allow the antibacterial activity of lemon verbena to kick in alongside the nourishing action of shea butter. This can be particularly helpful on skin that tends to overproduce oil as it can minimize a “sebum rebound” effect.
