Essense Exfoligrain Powder Exfoliator – 30g
Reveal smoother, more radiant-looking skin with every gentle exfoliation
Skin that looks dull, feels rough, or appears uneven is often carrying a natural build-up of dead surface cells — and the right exfoliation can make a visible difference. Essense Rooibos Exfoligrain is a water-activated exfoliating powder that brings together the antioxidant power of Green Rooibos with soothing colloidal oatmeal, designed to work gently and effectively without leaving skin feeling stripped or uncomfortable.
What sets this formula apart is its powder-to-paste format. A small amount is dispensed into damp hands, combined with your preferred Annique cleanser, and the two blend into a soft Rooibos paste that cleanses and exfoliates in a single step. This approach keeps the formula fresh at the point of use while giving you control over how much product you apply.
Used one to two times per week, Exfoligrain helps support skin that looks more even, feels softer, and is better prepared to absorb the serums and moisturisers you apply next. It is fragrance free, making it a considered choice for those who prefer to keep their routine free from added scent.
Key Ingredients and Benefits
Essense Exfoligrain combines three carefully chosen ingredients that work together to exfoliate gently while supporting skin comfort and radiance.
Green Rooibos Leaves
Packed with antioxidants, Green Rooibos helps protect the skin from the effects of environmental stress during exfoliation, while supporting a healthier, more radiant-looking complexion over time.
Colloidal Oatmeal
Known for its calming properties, colloidal oatmeal helps soothe and comfort the skin while it is being exfoliated, contributing to a softer feel and reducing the risk of irritation associated with exfoliation.
Rice Powder
This finely milled powder provides the gentle physical exfoliation action, buffing away the outermost layer of dull, dead skin cells to reveal a smoother and more luminous surface beneath.

Who It’s For
Essense Exfoligrain has been formulated with a gentle approach that makes it suitable for most skin types. It is particularly well suited to anyone who is noticing any of the following concerns:
- Skin that looks dull or tired
- A rough or uneven skin texture
- Skin that appears to need a radiance boost
- A desire for smoother-feeling skin
Because the formula includes soothing colloidal oatmeal to calm and comfort skin during the exfoliation process, it is a gentler option than many traditional exfoliators. Those with sensitivity should start with once-a-week use and adjust frequency based on how their skin responds.
Frequency note: Use one to two times per week. Always adjust based on your skin’s comfort — less frequent use is recommended for more sensitive skin types.
How To Use
- Dispense a small amount of Exfoligrain powder into damp hands.
- Add a few pumps of your preferred Annique cleanser.
- Mix the two together to form a smooth Rooibos paste.
- Gently massage the paste over the face and neck in circular motions, avoiding the delicate eye area.
- Rinse thoroughly with water.
- Follow with your usual serum and moisturiser.
Tips
- Use one to two times per week for best results — consistent, gentle exfoliation is more effective than frequent or aggressive scrubbing.
- Always apply a moisturiser suited to your skin type after exfoliating to support skin comfort and hydration.
- Exfoliating before your serum and moisturiser can help those products absorb more effectively.
- Avoid the eye area at all times.
- Ensure the lid is closed securely after each use and store the product in a cool, dry place.

FAQs
Q: How often should I use Exfoligrain?
A: One to two times per week is recommended for most skin types. If your skin is on the more sensitive side, start with once a week and adjust based on how your skin feels after each use.
Q: Is Exfoligrain suitable for sensitive skin?
A: The formula includes colloidal oatmeal specifically to soothe and calm the skin during exfoliation, making it a gentler option than many traditional exfoliators. That said, those with sensitive skin should begin with less frequent use and observe how their skin responds.
Q: Which Annique cleanser should I mix it with?
A: Exfoligrain is designed to be mixed with any Annique Rooibos cleanser — use whichever one is already part of your current routine. Simply add a few pumps of your cleanser to the powder in your damp palm and blend to form the exfoliating paste.
Q: Should I apply moisturiser after using Exfoligrain?
A: Yes. After rinsing, always follow with a moisturiser suited to your skin type. Applying hydrating products post-exfoliation helps support comfort and locks in moisture. Applying your serum first before moisturiser will also improve absorption.
Q: Why is regular exfoliation important for skin?
A: Over time, dead skin cells naturally accumulate on the surface, which can leave the complexion looking dull, rough, or uneven. Removing this surface build-up regularly supports smoother-looking skin, improved radiance, and better absorption of the skincare products you use every day.
