St. Ives Gentle Moisturizing Scrub & Mask — 2-in-1 mild exfoliant and hydrating overnight boost

St. Ives Gentle Moisturizing Scrub & Mask is a dual-purpose skincare treatment that exfoliates lightly while delivering lasting moisture for smoother, softer skin.

Designed for anyone who wants a simple two-in-one product, this formula works as a mild scrub to lift dull surface cells and as a leave-on mask to hydrate and calm. The texture balances tiny exfoliating particles with emollient-rich ingredients so you can refine skin texture without stripping natural oils. It’s fragrance-balanced and suitable for routine use where gentle renewal and replenishment are desired.

How does the product gently exfoliate without over-drying?

The scrub uses fine, skin-friendly exfoliating beads that remove dead skin cells without aggressive abrasion. Paired with moisturizing agents, it minimizes friction and preserves the skin’s barrier, reducing the chance of irritation after use.

• Fine physical exfoliants for even removal of surface flakes
• Moisture-binding ingredients to protect hydration levels
• Balanced texture that rinses clean without leaving residue

When should I use it as a scrub versus a mask?

Use as a scrub during your cleansing step to lift dead skin and smooth texture; use as a mask when your skin needs an extra moisture boost or a refreshed look. The mask application is left on longer to allow hydrating ingredients to penetrate.

• Scrub: massage gently for 30–60 seconds, then rinse
• Mask: apply a thin layer, leave for 5–10 minutes, then rinse
• Frequency: 2–3 times weekly, or as your skin tolerates

Will this work for sensitive, combination, or dry skin?

The gentle formulation is intended to be suitable for a broad range of skin types, including combination and dry skin, because it combines mild exfoliation with hydrating components. If you have very sensitive or reactive skin, patch testing is recommended before full-face use.

• Hydrating base helps dry patches feel softer after use
• Mild exfoliation addresses texture on combination zones
• Patch test on the inner wrist or jawline if sensitive

Who is this for: St. Ives Gentle Moisturizing Scrub & Mask is ideal for anyone wanting a low-effort, dual-action product that refreshes skin texture while restoring moisture. It’s a convenient choice for busy routines, seasonal skin changes, or as an occasional boost before events. Avoid use on broken, sunburned, or severely irritated skin; consult a dermatologist for specific skin conditions.
