Details & care

What it is: A weekly multi-exfoliation treatment for skin health formulated with bamboo charcoal.

What it does: Two methods of exfoliation—chemical and physical—work synergistically to exfoliate, soften and renew skin. A gentle AHA/BHA trio of glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids help remove dead skin cells, while pumice and bamboo charcoal soften skin without irritation.

How to use: Apply all over your body. Massage to create a foam. Rinse well.

Great for KP

I have recently been having a problem with KP and within two washes this has cleared it up almost completely. Plus I really love the scent, I got Eucalyptus.

Not an exfoliator

I am so bummed I didn’t like this product because I own dozens of other Necessaire products and love them all. This is not an exfoliation, this a shower gel with exfoliation in it. I hope they come out with another product that can truly act as a deep exfoliation. Sincerely a girly who loves to spray tan, but needs a great product for body prep

amazinggggggggg

bought this with not much promise since influencers promote it , but man was I wrong ! this stuff got rid of my kp in 2 days, and leaves my skin to feel like I just shaved and helps with shaving irritation if used before and after you shave 10/10 I'm telling all my friends about this product its too good !

Mehhh, I’ll pass

After falling in love with the body wash from this brand, couldn’t wait to try the exfoliator. Unfortunately it left me very underwhelmed - not sure if there is any exfoliation going on at all, it immediately foams as soon as the water touches it. It’s also EXTREMELY messy, the product just falls out of the tube leaving a mess everywhere and wasted product. The only thing I like about it is the smell. Won’t be repurchasing,

Seriously Lovely

This body exfoliator is so fun to use. It’s really a great add on to my current shower routine. It feels great and lathers well, I’d say a little goes a long way. My skin feels so soft afterward. Is anything groundbreaking happening? Probably not but feels luxurious and spa like for everyday life. Worth it!

Exfoliator Convert

I never really thought I had a need for a body exfoliator until I was gifted this. Really enjoyable to use, cleanses and smooths. Love the scent. Was surprised to see a difference after showering - my skin just looks and feels healthier. Kind of could get addicted to this stuff!

good product, eh packaging

I gave this 3 stars because the packing is not the best, the screw cap in the shower is annoying. I would prefer this to have the same packaging as the body wash. I like the product, but its not the best exfoliator I've ever tried. its not the worst either. It just didn't measure up to some of the other necessaire products I love.
