GlyMed Plus Peptide Micro Scrub is a manual exfoliating scrub that uses corundum crystals, the same crystals used in professional microdermabrasion treatments, to physically buff away dead skin cells and surface roughness. Boosted with multiple forms of vitamin C, antioxidant-rich plant oils, and a proprietary amino acid complex, it goes beyond basic exfoliation to address uneven tone, dullness, and the effects of daily environmental exposure. It carries a light herbal scent from lavender, lavandin, rosemary, and clary sage oils.
Key Benefits
Physically resurfaces skin with professional-grade crystals Corundum crystals provide the same mechanical exfoliation used in microdermabrasion, lifting dead skin cells and smoothing rough texture in minutes.
Delivers three forms of vitamin C to address uneven tone Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, and potassium sorbate work together to brighten skin and support a more even complexion over time.
Calms and protects with antioxidant botanicals Boswellia serrata (boswellin) extract, red wine polyphenols, chamomile, and raspberry work together to neutralize environmental damage and reduce visible redness and irritation after exfoliation.
Hydrates while it exfoliates Sodium hyaluronate draws moisture into the skin, while sunflower oil, grape seed oil, and jojoba oil reinforce the skin's moisture barrier so skin feels soft rather than stripped.
Supports skin with a multi-mineral and amino acid complex The proprietary HG5 Complex delivers copper gluconate, zinc gluconate, magnesium aspartate, and glycine to support skin repair and resilience at the surface level.

If your skin looks dull, feels rough, or has a bumpy texture that a cleanser alone won't address, Peptide Micro Scrub is built for that job. It works well for normal, combination, and oily skin types that can tolerate physical exfoliation and want a deeper refresh than a daily wash provides.
This scrub is also a strong option for anyone who wants the texture benefits of microdermabrasion at home. The corundum crystals deliver real mechanical exfoliation without requiring a professional appointment, making it practical for a weekly maintenance routine.
It is not recommended for active breakouts, sensitized skin, or skin with a compromised barrier. If you're unsure whether it's the right fit, our licensed estheticians are happy to help you figure that out.
-
For a more targeted resurfacing treatment, mix a small amount of Peptide Micro Scrub directly into your cleanser before massaging it onto skin. This dilutes the crystal intensity slightly, making it a gentler option for those who want exfoliation with a little more control.
-
Prepare: Cleanse skin thoroughly before use.
Apply: Dispense a small amount onto fingertips and apply to face, neck, or chest, avoiding the eye area.
Technique: Add a minimal amount of water and massage in gentle circular motions for up to one minute. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water or remove with a warm cloth. Follow with your toner, serum, and moisturizer.
Frequency: Use 1 to 2 times per week. Apply SPF if using in the morning. Can also be used on the body.

Key Ingredients
- Corundum Crystals: Same crystals used in microdermabrasion that gives a manual exfoliation to the skin with less irritation.
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Soothes, brightens, and helps reverse and protect against environmental damage.
- PC10 Complex: Proprietary amino acid complex with natural antioxidants, and pharmaceutical-grade botanicals to help correct free radical damage while calming inflammation.
- Grape Seed Oil: Increases cell turnover and collagen production to improve skin’s elasticity.
- Sunflower (Helianthus Annuus) Seed Oil: Rich source of linoleic acid, a fatty acid that helps maintain the integrity of the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss.
- Vitamin C (MAP): One of the most gentle, stable, water-soluble forms of vitamin C, safe for dry and sensitive skin types. Has a slower release into the body, providing more sustained brightening and antioxidant benefits.
- Vitamin C (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate): A deeply penetrating, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that brightens dark spots, evens skin tone, and boosts collagen production without the irritation or instability of traditional Vitamin C.

What makes GlyMed Plus Peptide Micro Scrub different from other exfoliating scrubs?
Most at-home scrubs use sugar, salt, or synthetic beads as their exfoliating agent. Peptide Micro Scrub uses corundum crystals, the same material used in professional microdermabrasion treatments, for a more consistent and controlled mechanical exfoliation. On top of that, the formula includes three forms of vitamin C, botanical antioxidants, and sodium hyaluronate, so it does more than just buff the surface.
What are corundum crystals, and why are they used in GlyMed Plus Peptide Micro Scrub?
Corundum crystals are a mineral-based abrasive with a uniform particle size, which is why they're used in professional microdermabrasion machines. In Peptide Micro Scrub, they provide precise mechanical exfoliation that physically lifts dead skin cells and rough texture without the jagged edges found in some granular scrubs. The result is a smoother surface after just one use.
How often should I use GlyMed Plus Peptide Micro Scrub?
Once or twice per week is ideal for most skin types. Over-exfoliating can compromise the skin's barrier, so it's best to space out uses and pay attention to how your skin responds. If you notice increased sensitivity or redness, pull back to once a week or every ten days.
Can I use GlyMed Plus Peptide Micro Scrub if I have acne or sensitive skin?
Peptide Micro Scrub is not recommended for use over active breakouts or sensitized skin. Physical exfoliation over inflamed skin can spread bacteria and worsen irritation. If you're managing acne or sensitivity, a free skincare consultation with one of our estheticians can help you find a better-matched exfoliant.
What is the HG5 Complex in GlyMed Plus Peptide Micro Scrub?
HG5 Complex is a proprietary blend that includes copper gluconate, zinc gluconate, magnesium aspartate, and the amino acid glycine. These minerals and amino acids support the skin's natural repair process at the surface level, helping skin recover and maintain resilience after exfoliation.
Does GlyMed Plus Peptide Micro Scrub contain vitamin C?
Yes, it contains three forms: tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, and potassium sorbate. Each form has a slightly different delivery mechanism, but together they work to brighten skin tone and address the uneven pigmentation that often comes with environmental damage and sun exposure.
Can GlyMed Plus Peptide Micro Scrub be used on the body?
Yes. While it's formulated for the face, neck, and chest, it can also be used on the body as a smoothing and resurfacing treatment. Areas like elbows, knees, and upper arms that tend to accumulate rough texture respond well to the corundum crystals in this formula.
