10 Best Face Scrubs in Singapore for Smooth, Flawless Skin (2025)

Many mistakenly think that exfoliation is linked to particular skin problems. However, every skin type requires regular exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, which helps to prevent dry, flaky areas and clogged pores.

This process can result in a more radiant, smooth, and glowing complexion, an even skin tone, and reduced breakouts. We’ve gathered a list of the top face scrubs available that are effective and will enhance your skin’s glow.

Gentlest Physical and Chemical Exfoliant: Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator

When it comes to exfoliation, few products hit the sweet spot between effective and ultra-gentle, but Dermalogica’s Daily Microfoliant does it effortlessly. This exfoliator blends the best of both physical and chemical exfoliation to reveal smoother, brighter skin without a hint of irritation.

Crowned Experts’ Choice for Best Wash-off Exfoliant in our Daily Vanity Beauty Awards 2025, its rice-based powder formula activates upon contact with water, transforming into a creamy paste that buffs away dullness using a dream team of salicylic acid, papain, and rice enzymes.

The result? Instantly polished skin with improved texture and clarity after just one use (yes, it’s clinically proven). It’s also packed with a skin-brightening complex of licorice and rice extract to target uneven tone over time.

Dermatologist-tested, free from artificial fragrances and colours, and suitable for all skin types – even sensitive – this exfoliator is gentle enough for daily use.
