Quick Answer
Choose the KP Body Bumps Be Gone Scrub if you want to smooth rough, bumpy skin with chemical exfoliants. Pick the Exfoliating Crush Scrub for a gentler, hydrating polish that buffs away dryness without acids.
Exfoliation style: chemical vs. physical
The KP Body Bumps Be Gone Scrub combines glycolic and lactic acids with volcanic sand, giving you both chemical and physical exfoliation. The Exfoliating Crush Scrub relies on brown sugar and crushed Tahitian coconut shell for a purely physical buff.
If your skin tolerates AHAs, the KP scrub offers a more intensive resurfacing approach. If you prefer a straightforward scrub without acids, the Exfoliating Crush is the simpler choice.
Texture and feel
Volcanic sand in the KP scrub provides a gritty texture that helps slough off dead skin, while the brown sugar and coconut shell pieces in the Exfoliating Crush offer a coarser, granular polish. Both are effective, but the feel on your skin differs noticeably.
Consider whether you want a scrub that dissolves somewhat as you massage (sugar) or one that maintains its abrasiveness throughout (volcanic sand).
Skin type and sensitivity
The Exfoliating Crush Scrub is labeled dermatologist tested, non-allergenic, and non-irritating, making it a safer bet for sensitive skin. The KP scrub contains AHAs, which can cause irritation if you're new to chemical exfoliants or have compromised skin.
If you have active eczema, sunburn, or broken skin, skip acid-based exfoliation and opt for the gentler sugar scrub until your skin barrier is healthy.
