Advanced Resurfacing for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin

Eliminate deep-seated impurities and smooth uneven skin texture with our Purifying Facial Polish. Expertly developed as a non-comedogenic mechanical exfoliant, this polish utilizes fine Natural Volcanic Pumice to lift away dead skin cells without the micro-tears caused by synthetic beads. By uniting the antibacterial power of Neem with botanical Salicylic Acid (BHA), it actively clears pores and prevents the oily buildup that leads to breakouts.

The Clinical & Holistic Benefits

Mechanical Pore Decongestant: Fine Natural Volcanic Pumice provides a controlled "micro-buff," physically dislodging oxidized sebum (blackheads) and environmental pollutants.
Blemish-Neutralising Action: High-potency Neem and Tea Tree work in synergy to target acne-causing bacteria, reducing the risk of post-exfoliation breakouts.
Surface Texture Refinement: Non-abrasive physical resurfacing smooths uneven skin "pitting" and scarring, promoting a more uniform and refined complexion.
Anti-Shine Detoxification: Natural astringent Witch Hazel tightens pores immediately after exfoliation to regulate sebum flow and maintain a long-lasting matte finish

How to use

Your Weekly Purifying Ritual
To maintain a clear, matte complexion and prevent the buildup of pore-clogging debris, integrate this polish into your regime 2–3 times per week.

Preparation: Begin by cleansing with our Purifying Face Wash to remove surface grime. Leave the skin damp to allow the polish to glide effectively without friction.

Application: Apply a pea-sized amount of the polish to your fingertips. Focus on the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) where sebum production and blackheads are most concentrated.

Mechanical Exfoliation: Using light, circular motions, massage the polish into the skin. Allow the Natural Volcanic Pumice to perform a controlled micro-buff of the surface texture. Do not apply heavy pressure; the mineral grains are designed to lift debris through gentle contact.

Enzymatic Activation: Let the polish sit on the skin for 30–60 seconds. This allows the Salicylic Acid in Wild Mint and the antibacterial properties of Neem to penetrate the pores and dissolve deep-seated congestion.

Rinse & Refine: Rinse thoroughly with cool water. The cold temperature helps to constrict the pores immediately after they have been cleared and maximizes the refreshing, anti-shine effect of the Spearmint and Witch Hazel.

Seal: Pat the skin dry and follow with the Purifying Facial Toner and Mattifying Day Cream to lock in hydration and maintain the skin's pH balance.

Active Ingredients

Potent Actives for Clarity & Oil Control

The Natural Exfoliant & Blemish Heroes

Natural Volcanic Pumice: A biodegradable physical exfoliant that provides a smooth resurfacing effect. Its porous nature helps absorb excess surface lipids while lifting away the dulling dead skin cells that cause pore congestion.
Neem: A powerful Ayurvedic antiseptic and antibacterial agent. Neem is essential for those with excess skin oils, providing deep cleansing properties that help alleviate Kapha and Pitta imbalances while clearing active blemishes.
Tea Tree: A potent antiseptic skin tonic that cools inflammation and encourages rapid skin healing. Its antimicrobial properties make it a gold standard for treating acne, breakouts, and localized skin infections.
Wild Mint (Natural BHA): Rich in Salicylic Acid (Beta Hydroxy Acid), Wild Mint provides deep chemical exfoliation to relieve congestion. It stimulates the skin while acting as a natural astringent to purify and clarify the complexion.

Pore-Refining & Brightening Botanicals

Witch Hazel: Rich in antioxidants and bioflavonoids, Witch Hazel provides powerful astringent properties. It clarifies the skin and tightens the pores, making it highly effective for refined texture and long-term oil control.
Bearberry: Contains naturally brightening compounds, including Arbutin and Ursolic acid. These actives combat oxidative damage from pollution and help to fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (acne scarring).
Spearmint & Eucalyptus: An invigorating duo that reduces Kapha and Vata imbalances. Spearmint provides vitamins A and C to help with dermatitis, while Eucalyptus acts as a refreshing tonic to decongest the skin.

Vitamin-Rich Tonics & Hydration

Sweet Orange: Cold-pressed to preserve Vitamins A, B, and C, Orange essence feeds acne-prone skin to help heal blemishes. It supports natural collagen formation and improves overall skin tone and vitality.
Vegetable Glycerin: A pure humectant that preserves skin homeostasis. By drawing moisture from the environment into the surface layers, it ensures the skin remains hydrated and enables other skin lipids to perform more effectively.

FAQs

What is the best face wash scrub for blackheads and large pores?

The most effective treatment for blackheads combines physical exfoliation with oil-soluble acids. Our Purifying Facial Polish uses Natural Volcanic Pumice to dislodge oxidized sebum (blackheads) while Wild Mint provides a natural source of Salicylic Acid (BHA). This dual-action approach clears the pore lining and utilizes Witch Hazel to tighten the pore opening and reduce visible pore size.

Is it safe to use a facial scrub on acne-prone skin?

Yes, provided the exfoliant is non-abrasive. Unlike jagged shells that cause micro-tears and spread bacteria, this polish uses spherical Volcanic Pumice for a gentle micro-buff. Combined with the antibacterial properties of Neem and Tea Tree, it disinfects the skin surface during exfoliation to help heal active blemishes and prevent post-scrub breakouts.

Can I use this exfoliating polish for oily skin and shine?

Yes. Oily skin requires regular exfoliation to prevent dead skin cells from trapping sebum. This polish contains Quassia and Witch Hazel, natural astringents that regulate sebum production. The porous nature of Volcanic Pumice absorbs excess surface lipids, providing a long-lasting matte finish and refined skin texture.

Is this facial polish biodegradable and plastic-free?

Yes. Our Purifying Facial Polish is 100% plastic-free and contains no synthetic microbeads. We use Natural Volcanic Pumice, a sustainable and biodegradable mineral. This ensures an environmentally responsible skincare routine without compromising the clinical efficacy of the physical resurfacing treatment.
