Sorella Apothecary Grapefruit Polishing Powder

The Sorella Apothecary Grapefruit Polishing Powder is a powder-to-lather exfoliating cleanser that works on both the face and body to smooth texture, clear congestion, and leave skin looking noticeably cleaner and more refined with each use. It combines physical and chemical exfoliation in one step, making it an efficient option for anyone who wants to get more out of their daily cleanse. The formula carries a bright, citrusy scent from grapefruit and lemon peel oils, with a warm vanilla undertone that makes it pleasant to use.

Key Benefits

Dissolves Dead Skin Without Over-Stripping Papain, a proteolytic enzyme derived from papaya, breaks down the protein bonds holding dead skin cells to the surface, so they rinse away without the need for harsh physical force.

Chemically Exfoliates to Smooth and Refine Texture Lactic acid loosens surface buildup and softens the look of uneven texture, while salicylic acid cuts through excess oil inside the pore to keep congestion from forming.

Draws Out Impurities with Kaolin Clay Kaolin clay and rice starch work together to absorb excess oil and pull impurities from the pores during the cleanse, leaving skin feeling clean without tightness.

Calms and Conditions While It Cleanses Dipotassium glycyrrhizate and licorice root extract help quiet visible redness and irritation, while panthenol and allantoin restore comfort to the skin barrier so it doesn't feel stripped after exfoliation.

Supports an Even, Consistent Skin Tone Licorice root extract and lemon peel oil work at the surface level to address uneven pigmentation over time, helping skin look more consistent in tone and clarity with regular use.

If your skin tends to look dull, feel rough, or break out along the jawline, chest, or back, the Sorella Apothecary Grapefruit Polishing Powder gives you a thorough exfoliating cleanse without the irritation that often comes with scrubs or high-strength acid treatments. It works well for oily, acne-prone, and combination skin types that need consistent exfoliation to keep pores clear and texture smooth.

This powder cleanser is also a strong fit for anyone dealing with uneven skin tone, clogged pores, or post-breakout marks that linger longer than you'd like. The blend of enzymatic, alpha hydroxy, and beta hydroxy exfoliation addresses multiple layers of skin concern in a single step.

If your skin is sensitive or reactive, start with two to three uses per week and see how your skin responds before increasing frequency. Because this formula contains both salicylic acid and lactic acid, those with compromised or recently treated skin should ease in gradually.

For a deeper exfoliating treatment, mix the Grapefruit Polishing Powder directly into a gentle cleansing oil or balm before applying. The oil medium slows down rinsing, giving the papain enzymes and lactic acid more contact time with the skin, which translates to noticeably smoother texture after just one use.

Prepare: Wet your palms thoroughly before dispensing.

Apply: Shake a small amount of the powder into wet hands and rub together to activate into a light lather.

Technique: Massage gently onto the face or body in circular motions, avoiding the eye area, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Frequency: Can be used daily or as often as skin tolerates. Use alone or add a small amount to your regular cleanser for an extra layer of exfoliation.
