What the scrub does
Vivier lists three benefits: it gently exfoliates dead skin cells with biodegradable beads, brightens and refreshes the complexion, and hydrates and softens the skin. The brand credits the vitamin C with calming and brightening and the hyaluronic acid with moisture.
Key ingredients
Vivier lists hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. The beads are biodegradable, which is worth noting given how many physical scrubs still use plastic microbeads.
Who it is for
People who prefer a physical scrub to an acid, and anyone treating body skin as well as the face. If your skin is reactive or you are mid-way through a course of resurfacing treatments, an acid-free option is often the safer choice.
How to use it
After cleansing, apply to damp skin and massage gently in a circular motion on the face or body, then rinse completely. Vivier says it may be used daily, though most skin does not need that.
How it fits with your treatments at Bar Beauty
Physical exfoliation has to be paused around resurfacing work. We will tell you which weeks to skip it, and we would rather you under-exfoliate than arrive for a treatment on raw skin.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the scrub on my body?
Yes. Vivier describes it as a face and body scrub and directs circular massage on either, followed by a complete rinse.
How often should I use it?
Vivier says it may be used daily. In practice we suggest matching frequency to how your skin responds, and pausing it around resurfacing treatments.
Are the beads plastic?
No. Vivier states the beads are biodegradable.
Is it suitable if I use retinol?
Physical exfoliation on top of a retinol can be too much for some skin. Bring your routine to the consult and we will schedule it properly.
