Recipe For Men Facial Scrub (100ml)

Dead skin cells, clogged pores, and dull texture don't clear themselves - they need a little encouragement. The Recipe for Men Facial Scrub is a weekly exfoliating face wash that uses Hydrated Silica Microspheres to physically buff away the buildup that makes skin look flat and feel rough, while Centella Asiatica (Cica) keeps the process calm and controlled, soothing any irritation that physical exfoliation can sometimes cause. The result is skin that looks visibly clearer and brighter, feels smoother to the touch, and absorbs your regular skincare products more effectively afterward. Use 1-2 times per week as a targeted treatment step - not a daily wash. A straightforward, purposeful exfoliator from Recipe for Men. 100% vegan, produced in Sweden.

Who's It For

The Facial Scrub suits most skin types and is particularly effective for those dealing with dullness, rough texture, congested pores, or skin that feels like it has a layer of buildup that regular cleansing isn't shifting. It works well for those who shave regularly - exfoliating before a shave lifts beard hairs for a closer result and reduces the risk of ingrown hairs. Not recommended for skin that is actively broken out, sunburned, or highly sensitized - allow skin to settle before exfoliating.

Key Benefits

• Physically buffs away dead skin cells - Hydrated Silica Microspheres provide gentle but effective physical exfoliation that clears the surface buildup responsible for dullness, rough texture, and congested pores
• Soothes while it exfoliates - Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract calms the skin during the exfoliation process, reducing the redness and irritation that can follow physical scrubbing and leaving skin comfortable rather than raw
• Visibly brighter, smoother skin after one use - removing the layer of dead skin cells reveals the fresher, more even skin beneath, with results that are noticeable from the first session
• Improves skincare absorption - a freshly exfoliated skin surface absorbs serums, moisturizers, and treatments significantly more effectively, making everything else in your routine work harder 
• Ideal pre-shave prep - exfoliating before shaving lifts beard hairs away from the skin, allowing for a closer shave and reducing the likelihood of ingrown hairs and razor bumps
• Gentle enough for weekly use - the Silica Microsphere particle size is calibrated for effective exfoliation without the micro-tearing associated with harsh physical scrubs
• 100% vegan - produced in Sweden with no parabens 

Key Ingredients

• Hydrated Silica - ultra-fine mineral microspheres that provide physical exfoliation by gently buffing dead skin cells from the surface. Smooth and uniform in particle size, delivering effective exfoliation without the jagged edges found in walnut shell or apricot pit scrubs that can cause micro-tears in the skin
• Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract (Cica) - a powerhouse botanical with well-documented anti-inflammatory and skin-repair properties. Soothes irritation caused by physical exfoliation, calms redness, and supports barrier recovery so skin is left comfortable and balanced after scrubbing
• Glycerin - a foundational humectant that draws moisture into the skin during the cleansing process, counteracting any potential dryness from exfoliation and leaving skin feeling hydrated rather than stripped
• Cocamidopropyl Betaine - a gentle, coconut-derived surfactant that supports effective cleansing alongside the physical exfoliation without over-stripping the skin barrier
• Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate - a mild secondary surfactant that contributes to lather and cleansing without the harshness associated with primary sulfate cleansers 

How To Use

Wet your face with warm water. Apply a small amount of the Facial Scrub to your fingertips and work into the skin using gentle circular motions across the face, avoiding the eye area. Spend 30-60 seconds massaging the scrub across the face, paying extra attention to areas prone to congestion such as the nose, chin, and forehead. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use 1-2 times per week only - not as a daily cleanser. Follow immediately with your regular serum and moisturizer while skin is fresh and receptive. For pre-shave use, apply and rinse before your shave prep products.

Why MASC Recommends This

Exfoliation is the step that makes everything else in your skincare routine work harder - and the Facial Scrub earns its weekly place because it does it without the drama. Hydrated Silica is a significantly smarter choice of exfoliant than the crushed shells or seed powders found in cheaper scrubs, delivering consistent particle size and effective exfoliation without the risk of micro-damage. Centella Asiatica adds a layer of soothing intelligence that separates this from a basic buff-and-rinse scrub. Use it twice a week, keep your regular routine going after, and your skin will notice the difference within a fortnight.
