"Here's some pointers if someone has a more acneic or problem skin type with facial scrubs. Traditionally facial scrubs for acneic skin types are not ideal. Basically, the skin with acne is already aggrevated and stressed on its own and usually infected. So the mild scrub is probably going to irritate it even more. However, using a gamage facial scrub would definitely help to alleviate some of that congestion that builds up and it's not granular, it's, you know, a wet consistency. And as it dries you can kind of be gentle and exfoliate the product of with avoiding the actual blemished areas or infected areas. So I think choosing a gamage instead of a traditional granular facial scrub would be ideal for a more problem skin type."
