What the gurus are saying

Your skin turns noticeably softer and smoother right after use, delivering the kind of immediate payoff that reviewers find rare and welcome in skincare. The scrub combines physical exfoliants (bamboo charcoal and pumice) with chemical exfoliants for a dual-action effect, and it's gentle enough not to compromise the skin barrier or increase sensitivity. Use it twice weekly, even on back acne-prone areas, and the bottle lasts ages.

"I love the Necessaire body scrub. They have one that smells like eucalyptus and it's just you feel like you're in a spa when you use it. And right afterward, your skin is immediately softer and smoother. And it's those immediate results that I'm really drawn to. So much in skincare happens slowly and over time, and every once in a while I'm a little impatient and I just want results now."

"For body exfoliation I do like a physical scrub applied gently. One of my favorites is the Necessary exfoliator. It's a charcoal body scrub but it also has some chemical exfoliants in it as well, so it's sort of two for one."
Yay
"I love this one because it's really gentle, and I feel like I'm able to get that proper exfoliating experience in the shower for a good 30 seconds without compromising my skin's barrier or increasing skin sensitivity. It's super gentle, I usually use it about twice per week, but it's a great experience and the bottle lasts forever, especially if you're someone who only uses it once or twice a week."
Yay
"I've got oily skin and I get pimples on my back all the time and it's hard to reach, but this made a massive difference. It feels nice and I feel soft afterwards. I use it weekly as part of my routine. My one complaint is where's the twisty top, it would be nice to have that on here too since this is just a regular screw top. But I understand why they don't have the twisty top on this scrub since it contains particles like bamboo charcoal and pumice that might get stuck in the twisty mechanism."
