Reveal smoother, more radiant-looking skin every time you cleanse with Essense Rooibos Exfoligrain. This customisable powder exfoliator helps remove dull, dead skin cells while refining texture and supporting a clearer, more luminous complexion without leaving your skin feeling stripped or irritated.

You mix the finely milled powder directly into your cleanser to create an exfoliating treatment tailored to your skin’s needs. Rice powder gently buffs away surface build-up to smooth and brighten your skin, while natural cellulose beads provide soft physical exfoliation without harsh abrasion.

Green unfermented Rooibos helps protect your skin against environmental stressors with antioxidant support, while colloidal oatmeal helps calm sensitivity and maintain skin comfort. The result is skin that feels softer, refreshed and visibly refined after every exfoliating cleanse.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Essense Rooibos Exfoligrain on sensitive skin?

What does a powder exfoliator do differently?
A powder exfoliator lets you control the intensity by adjusting how much product you mix into your cleanser.
Will the exfoliating particles feel harsh on my skin?
No. The formula uses finely milled exfoliants designed to polish the skin gently without scratching.
Is this a chemical exfoliant or a physical exfoliant?
It is a gentle physical exfoliant that uses fine particles to polish away dead skin cells.
Can I exfoliate and use a masque together?
Yes, depending on the type of masque and your skin's tolerance. Exfoliating first can help remove accumulated dead surface skin cells before applying a hydrating or nourishing masque. Avoid combining multiple intensive treatments if your skin is sensitive or compromised.
Can I exfoliate and use retinol on the same night?
When introducing retinol, it is preferable to avoid combining it with strong exfoliation or scrubs until your skin has adjusted. Using exfoliation and retinol on alternate nights can help reduce unnecessary irritation. Annique Rooibos also recommends avoiding harsh actives and physical scrubs when initially introducing Retinol Night Treatment.
Can I use Hyaluronic Acid³ Serum with Retinol Night Treatment?
Yes. Hydrating support can be particularly useful when using retinol.
How often should I exfoliate?
For most skin, approximately one to two times per week is sufficient depending on the exfoliator and individual skin tolerance. More frequent exfoliation is not automatically more effective.
