## Questions and answers

### How well does Bliss Micro Magic Microdermabrasion Scrub work for combination skin?

Bliss Micro Magic Microdermabrasion Scrub works reasonably well for combination skin, offering moderate exfoliation and absorbing excess oil while calming the skin with soothing extracts. However, a product of this type needs ingredients like niacinamide, propolis, and zinc PCA to provide balanced hydration, enhance radiance, and manage oily shine more effectively for this skin type.

### Which ingredients make this exfoliant a good fit for combination skin?

This exfoliant fits your combination skin thanks to pumice and papain, which smooth texture and absorb excess oil, while aloe, chamomile, and lavender extracts calm your skin. For a better fit, combination skin needs ingredients like niacinamide, propolis, or zinc PCA to regulate oiliness and add radiance without irritation.
Sources: [Giornale Italiano Di Dermatologia E Venereologia, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25876142/)

### What does Pumice do for combination skin?

Pumice physically removes thick, rough patches of skin, but combination skin requires gentle care to avoid harming its delicate areas while smoothing dry spots. A product of this type needs gentle exfoliating ingredients and soothing agents to help clear dead skin without stripping moisture from dry areas.
Sources: [Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1980](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7354146/)

### What does Aloe Vera Leaf Juice do for combination skin?

Aloe vera leaf juice helps keep combination skin hydrated by increasing water content without making it oily. It also helps calm redness and supports skin recovery.
Sources: [Skin Research and Technology, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17026654/), [Clinical Pharmacology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30588129/)

### Where does this exfoliant go in a skincare routine for combination skin?

This exfoliant treatment goes in the evening routine once a week. Combination skin works best with products that use gentle polishing ingredients and soothing plant extracts to smooth texture and absorb excess oil without harshness.

### Can I use this exfoliant with retinol, and in what order?

This exfoliant is best used on a different night than your retinol to help protect your combination skin from irritation and dryness. When using both in your routine, alternate nights so your skin has time to recover between treatments.

### How often should I use this exfoliant?

Start using this exfoliant once a week, and if your skin tolerates it well and shows good results, you may carefully use it more often. Combination skin needs products with gentle scrubbers and calming ingredients like aloe and chamomile to smooth texture and reduce oily shine without irritation.

### Can this exfoliant clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?

This scrub is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for combination skin, as it contains no heavy oils and features soothing aloe and calming extracts. However, because it is an exfoliant with pumice and fruit enzymes, it may occasionally cause mild irritation if used too often, but it should not cause skin purging since it does not speed up cell turnover in the way retinoids or acids do. To better fit combination skin without risking dryness or irritation, products of this type need gentle smoothing ingredients and balancing agents that control oil without stripping moisture.
Sources: [Giornale Italiano Di Dermatologia E Venereologia, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25876142/)

### Is this exfoliant fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum). Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
