| Verdict | Beyoung's physical exfoliant — rice hull powder + charcoal powder + cellulose microparticles in a clear gel base. The rice hull provides gentle mechanical exfoliation (rice husks are softer than walnut shell or apricot pit fragments, meaning less micro-tearing), charcoal absorbs excess oil and impurities, and saccharide isomerate (a plant-derived humectant that binds to the skin's keratin) prevents the stripped feeling. The adjustable-intensity approach is clever: apply to wet skin for gentle exfoliation, or to dry skin for deeper scrubbing on oily areas. From Beyoung's professional aesthetics heritage — field-tested by Brazilian estheticians. At R$53 (~$11), use 2-3 times per week. | Creamy is one of Brazil's most interesting clean-actives indie brands and the 10% Glycolic + Niacinamide is their AHA hero. Glycolic acid sits at #2 in the INCI for genuine resurfacing, niacinamide buffers and brightens, sweet almond oil adds emollience, and Brazilian Atlantic seaweeds (Sargassum filipendula + Hypnea musciformis) contribute marine-derived antioxidants. R$70 ($14) for serious AHA work in a non-stripping cream base. |
