Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Scrub Extreme Facial Scrub 2.5 fl oz — 6% Glycolic + 1% Salicylic for Brightening & Pore Refining

Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Scrub Extreme is a potent 3-in-1 facial scrub that combines 6% glycolic acid, 1% salicylic acid, and physical exfoliant beads to resurface, decongest, and brighten skin.

This concentrated facial polish is a stronger version of Nip + Fab’s popular Glycolic Fix Scrub. Formulated to remove dead skin cells, clear pore congestion and improve texture, it blends chemical AHAs and BHAs with a gentle physical scrub to lift impurities and help reveal a more even-looking complexion. The tube is travel-friendly (75 ml / 2.5 fl oz) and recommended for use 1–3 times weekly depending on tolerance and skin sensitivity.

How does this scrub improve dull or uneven skin?

The 6% glycolic acid works as an alpha hydroxy acid to loosen and lift the bonds between dead skin cells, accelerating surface renewal and improving tone and texture. Over repeated use, areas of discoloration and rough patches look softened and more uniform. The added grapefruit scent offers a refreshing feel during use.

• 6% glycolic acid promotes surface exfoliation and refines texture.
• Physical beads polish away flakey residue for immediate smoothness.
• Regular weekly use supports a brighter, more even complexion.

Will it help with clogged pores and blackheads?

Yes — the formula combines 1% salicylic acid (a BHA) with mechanical exfoliation to penetrate oily buildup and ease extraction of debris from pores. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, so it can help dissolve sebum that contributes to blackheads while the scrub’s beads remove surface blockages. This dual approach helps the skin look cleaner and less congested when used as directed.

• 1% salicylic acid targets pore-clogging oil and debris.
• Beads support dislodging trapped impurities for clearer pores.
• Best used as a targeted weekly treatment for congested skin.

How should I use the Glycolic Fix Scrub Extreme safely?

Apply a small amount to damp skin and gently massage, focusing on areas of congestion; rinse thoroughly and follow with sunscreen during the day. Limit use to 1–3 times per week based on how your skin reacts, and avoid combining with other strong actives without professional advice. If irritation or sensitivity occurs, reduce frequency or pause use.

• Use on damp skin; massage gently and rinse well.
• Start once weekly, then increase up to three times as tolerated.
• Always follow with daily SPF when used in the morning or exposed to sun.

What are the key ingredients and what do they do?

This formula pairs chemical and physical exfoliants with soothing aloe vera to balance efficacy with calming support. Glycolic acid addresses surface buildup, salicylic acid works within pores, and aloe vera helps reduce discomfort while supporting the skin’s feel after exfoliation. The result is a multi-action resurfacing product designed to refresh and refine.

• 6% glycolic acid: surface exfoliation for smoother skin.
• 1% salicylic acid: helps clear pore congestion and blackheads.
• Aloe vera: soothes and calms the skin post-exfoliation.

Who is this for? Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Scrub Extreme suits people looking for a stronger weekly resurfacing treatment—particularly those with oily, combination, or congested skin who want clearer pores and improved texture. If you have sensitive or barrier-compromised skin, introduce it slowly or consult a skincare professional. This product is designed as an exfoliating treatment rather than a daily cleanser, and pairs best with a gentle routine and daytime sun protection.
