Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub ($6.99) is an anti-acne facial scrub that utilizes salicylic acid while exfoliating with microbeads to help slough away dead skin cells. This product is alcohol-free (alcohol is a huge no-no in skin products!), which is always a big plus when considering an exfoliant and regular skin product. It does have menthol in it, which gives the product its tingling sensation when used. I find I keep this in my shower caddy and reach for it occasionally. It does tickle my nose a bit, because of the menthol, but I know I’m a bit overly sensitive when it comes to that kind of thing. The microbeads are incredibly gentle, and I feel like this is a good abrasiveness level for an everyday or every other day scrub.

Aaagggh microbeads!! NOOOO!
I read this article about how tiny plastic microbeads are filling the ocean with plastic. Little animals eat them, those little animals get eaten by bigger ones, and they work their way up the food chain and cause who-knows-what. It’s really scary.
Maybe — hopefully — the microbeads in this product are just jojoba or something biodegradable!
But anyways, I’ve stopped buying products with little plastic (polyethylene) exfoliation beads in them!
Oh no! I hadn’t heard that, but it doesn’t sound good at all. Thanks for clueing us in!
i love this product!! works really well!!
That’s awesome, I’m glad it works well for you Vanessa!
This product works great! It was the first biore product that I bought. It dramatically unclogged my pores and made it super soft. I recommand it and mostly ALL the other Biore products.
That’s awesome, Tori! So good to know that their other products are good, too! What are your faves by them?
