There are many reasons I was drawn to Nécessaire's The Body Exfoliator: 1). I loved that it came in a fragrance-free formula, because I find myself becoming more and more sensitive to fragrances over the years; 2). The minimalistic branding was super Instagram-worthy with its simple typeface and simple packageing; and 3). The sqeeze bottle seemed easy to use, compared to other body scrubs I've used in the past that create a mess in the shower.
The brand has quickly created a cult following [1] with its products that have clean ingredients and chic packageing. While some scrubs can feel harsh and actually have the opposite effect on your skin, this one is great for people who are looking for a scrub that's soothing and doesn't feel like you're using sandpaper on your skin. I'm also a fan of the brand's fragrance-free body wash as well.
The gel-like scrub exfoliates with a blend of acids and pumice stone. The soothing formula also features glycerin and marula seed oil, which moisturises, and niacinamide (aka vitamin B3) that strengthens the skin barrier. If you're looking for something with a scent, the scrub also comes in sandalwood and eucalyptus. I really like the fact that the product also doesn't leave a layer of oil on your skin afterward. It's a good product to use when you're in a rush but still want to get the job done.
Keep reading to shop out the $30 scrub if you're in the market for something that's easy and effective ahead.
