Quick Answer

Use the Vita C Face Wash first to cleanse and prep your skin, then follow with the Vita C Face Scrub for exfoliation—but not both in the same session unless you have tough, oily skin.

Why the Order Matters

Cleansing before exfoliating ensures that dirt, oil, and makeup are removed first, allowing the scrub's exfoliating particles to work directly on clean skin. Using the scrub on a dirty face can push impurities deeper into pores, reducing its effectiveness and potentially causing irritation.

When to Skip One or the Other

If your skin is sensitive, dry, or prone to redness, use the Face Wash alone on most days and reserve the Face Scrub for once or twice a week. Over-exfoliating can strip the skin barrier and lead to irritation.

The Trade-Offs

  • Face Wash First, Scrub Second: Use the Face Wash to remove surface impurities, then apply the Face Scrub for targeted exfoliation. This is the safest, most effective order for normal to combination skin. Use Face Scrub max 2–3 times per week if following this order.
  • Scrub Alone for Quick Refinement: On mornings when you're short on time, you can use the Face Scrub as a standalone exfoliating cleanser. It will still remove light oil and dead skin, but won't deep-cleanse like the Face Wash. Best for non-makeup days or as a gentle wake-up exfoliant.
  • Alternating Days: For balanced routines, use the Face Wash daily and the Face Scrub every other day or every third day. This gives your skin recovery time while still benefiting from both products. Pay attention to redness or tightness as a sign to reduce scrub frequency.
