HoliFrog's newest product, the Como Popp-E Renewal Scrubby Wash, is part face oil, cleansing gel and physical exfoliant that boasts a transformative oil-gel formula that dissolves into a milk upon contact with water. As the product's name suggests, poppy seeds are one of the main exfoliants in the skincare product, along with bamboo powder, both of which are effective for sloughing away dead skin cells without causing irritation or redness.
While many people are wary of manual exfoliation, HoliFrog was mindful of this when creating this new product. As the brand states, the "gentle and effective formula that gives you the freshly polished gratifying sensation of manual exfoliation without traumatizing your skin’s barrier with overly harsh, jagged bits of shells or sandpaper—think soft, not scratchy."
