Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testThe transforming exfoliator for radiant, comfortable skin. This melting facial scrub harnesses real raspberry seeds for an ultra-gentle exfoliation. On contact, its gel texture transforms beneath your fingertips into a sumptuous oil that lifts away impurities without harshness. Add water, and it becomes a generous milk that leaves the skin soft, glowing and beautifully comfortable.
Exfoliating Oil Gel is a cushioning scrub from Payot. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 20 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as moderately cushioned — emollient enough to feel like a cream, without the heaviest occlusives near the top. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Caprylic/capric Triglyceride and Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Caprylic/capric Triglyceride, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil and Sucrose Stearate.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry, Combination (dry), Combination (oily) and Oily skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and brightening and tone. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
Use it in the evening. In a routine it goes after cleansing, before serums. Start at once or twice a week and build up only if skin stays comfortable. Wear sunscreen the next morning — fresh exfoliation raises UV sensitivity.
