For skin that needs exfoliation but finds most scrubs too harsh, the ST. Ives Oatmeal Gentle Smoothing Scrub is the answer — a mild, soothing exfoliant that removes dead skin cells, smooths texture, and calms irritation simultaneously, without the abrasiveness that makes many scrubs unsuitable for sensitive skin types. Oatmeal has been used in skincare for centuries for good reason: rich in avenanthramides (unique antioxidants with proven anti-itch and anti-inflammatory properties), as well as beta-glucan (a polysaccharide with notable skin-soothing and barrier-supporting activity), colloidal oatmeal is one of the most dermatologically accepted ingredients for sensitive, reactive, and compromised skin. The shea butter in this formula adds a layer of rich emollience, softening the skin as the oatmeal exfoliants buff away the surface roughness that accumulates between deeper cleansing steps. The physical exfoliants — 100% natural and derived from oat — are finer and gentler than the walnut shell used in St. Ives' more intensive formulas, making this scrub suitable for daily use on sensitive skin types that would not tolerate stronger exfoliation. ST. Ives Oatmeal Gentle Smoothing Scrub 170gm is paraben-free, non-comedogenic, dermatologist-tested, and vegan — the most accessible and gentle entry point in the St. Ives face scrub range.

What's Special About ST. Ives Oatmeal Gentle Smoothing Scrub 170gm
