FAQ

Q: How often should I use the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Resurfacing Body Scrub?
A: Our experts recommend beginning with 2-3 applications weekly, gradually increasing frequency as your skin acclimates to the glycolic acid. Those with sensitive skin should start with once weekly application. For optimal results, use consistently as part of your body care routine, adjusting frequency based on your skin's response and tolerance.

Q: Can I use this body scrub if I have keratosis pilaris?
A: Yes, this professional-grade formulation is particularly effective for addressing keratosis pilaris. The dual-action exfoliation helps clear clogged hair follicles whilst the glycolic acid promotes cellular turnover, reducing the appearance of those characteristic rough, bumpy patches. Concentrate application on affected areas such as the backs of arms and thighs. Consistent use delivers progressive improvements in both texture and appearance.

Q: Will this product help with body acne?
A: Absolutely. The concentrated glycolic acid effectively clears pores, dissolves impurities, and reduces inflammation—all essential factors in managing body acne. The anti-inflammatory botanical extracts further support acne-prone skin whilst the exfoliating action prevents future breakouts by removing dead skin cell buildup that can clog pores. Many of our customers report significant improvements in back and chest acne with regular use.

Q: Is it normal to experience tingling or mild irritation when first using this scrub?
A: Some initial tingling, warmth, or mild flaking can be part of the normal resurfacing process as your skin adjusts to the glycolic acid concentration. Start with less frequent application and gradually increase usage as tolerance builds. However, if you experience severe redness, burning, or persistent irritation, discontinue use and consult our skincare experts for personalised guidance.

Q: How long before I see results?
A: You'll notice immediate improvements in skin texture and smoothness after the first application. However, optimal results for concerns such as keratosis pilaris, body acne, and hyperpigmentation develop progressively over 4-8 weeks of consistent use. Benefits continue to intensify with ongoing application as cellular turnover and collagen production are enhanced.

Q: Should I use moisturiser after applying this body scrub?
A: Yes, following with a rich moisturiser is essential. Our experts recommend the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Hand & Body Lotion or any antioxidant-rich body moisturiser to seal in hydration and support the skin's barrier function. This enhances the resurfacing benefits whilst ensuring optimal skin comfort and health.
