So Kylie Skin brought back the Walnut Face Scrub and everyone lost their minds. Again.
Remember when physical exfoliants were canceled? Yeah — she doesn’t care. And honestly? The crunchy-girl internet is split. Some say it’s micro-tear central. Others whisper it’s the only thing that nukes their texture. I grabbed a tube to settle it.
It’s a $22 scrub. The claim: “gentle enough for daily use.” That’s a lie — no walnut shell is gentle. But it’s fine for 2x a week if your skin isn’t a drama queen.
Walnut Powder
Ground shell bits — not microbeads, not sand. Feels like fine beach grit.
Foaming Base
Lathers way more than you’d expect. One pump = face full of suds.
Pink Tube
It’s aesthetic as hell. Your bathroom shelf will look rich.
The formula is shorter than a CVS receipt. No 50-step nonsense — just glycerin for slip, walnut for grit, and a hint of chamomile to pretend it’s soothing.
- Juglans Regia Shell Powder: The actual scrub — medium grit, not sharp
- Glycerin: Keeps it from feeling like sandpaper
- Chamomilla Recutita Extract: Calms the redness you’ll cause
- Citric Acid: pH balancer, not an active
First pump — watery, almost thin. Then the grit hits. It’s not a scrub you zone out through. You *feel* every grain. Rinses clean in 20 seconds — no filmy residue.
Week two: my chin bumps went flat. But I used it on damp skin, not dry — that’s the trick. Dry application = regret city.
My pores looked smaller for about 6 hours. Texture improved after 4 uses. No burns, no breakouts — but I’m not sensitive. YMMV hard here.
It’s a solid scrub for people who *want* to feel exfoliation. Not for the gentle-girl era. But if your skin craves texture-slapping, this delivers.
