Gentle scrub for skin redness without irritation.
Introducing the TIRTIR Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub — the first redness-friendly exfoliating scrub in the TIRTIR Matcha Line, suitable for use on irritated skin. Inspired by the iconic bubble tea aesthetic, this dual-formula scrub combines plant-based Matcha Cellulose Pearl Balls with a non-irritating Konjac Gel Scrub base to deliver customisable, thorough exfoliation that adapts to your skin's daily needs.
Most exfoliating scrubs are off-limits for redness-prone and sensitive skin — too abrasive, too stripping, and too likely to aggravate inflammation. The TIRTIR Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub redefines what a scrub can do for reactive skin: its low-irritation soothing formula gently removes dead skin cells, excess sebum and surface congestion without triggering redness or excessive friction. It removes dead skin cells when using the Gel and Pearl together, and you can use the gel alone for gentler days. The Matcha PDRN provides active calming throughout the exfoliation process. This makes it one of the very few scrubs appropriate for skin prone to flushing, sensitivity or reactive redness.
The scrub's standout feature is its customisability: you control the intensity. Use the Gel-type only for everyday gentle maintenance, or combine Gel and Pearl for a more intensive weekly treatment — letting you customise the exfoliation based on your skin's condition at any given day.
The combination of Matcha Cellulose Pearl Balls and Konjac Gel Scrub creates a two-type exfoliation system that enables fully customisable scrubbing for different skin areas and daily needs. It is a mild scrub formula where plant-derived cellulose matcha pearls and konjac scrub gel work in combination to gently refine dead skin cells and excess sebum without excessive friction. Both components are plant-based, avoiding synthetic microbeads and the skin irritation associated with harsh physical exfoliants — aligning with clean beauty standards while delivering effective exfoliation results.
The bubble tea-inspired cellulose pearl balls provide extra exfoliation when added to the Konjac Gel Scrub base. Made from plant-derived cellulose, they deliver physical exfoliation without the microplastic concerns of synthetic scrub beads.
On the other hand, the plant-based konjac gel formula that acts as the gentle, non-irritating scrub base. Konjac is a naturally derived ingredient renowned in skincare for its ability to cleanse and refine skin texture without stripping moisture or triggering inflammation — making it one of the few physical exfoliation bases considered safe for sensitive and redness-prone skin. The gel base also delivers inner skin hydration during the scrubbing process.
This scrub has a low-irritation, soothing formula that can be used comfortably on skin reddened by external irritation. It is a rare exfoliator that is genuinely appropriate for sensitive, redness-prone skin types.
Q: Can I use this scrub after the Matcha Pack Cleanser, or should I choose one?
Both products serve different exfoliation roles and can complement each other in a routine, though they should not be used simultaneously on the same day to avoid over-exfoliation. The Matcha Pack Cleanser (T0 step) uses chemical exfoliation via four exfoliating acids for a daily gentle cleanse. The Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub provides physical exfoliation via pearls and gel for a deeper, more intensive treatment. A well-rounded routine might use the Pack Cleanser most days and substitute the Bubble Tea Scrub 1–2 times per week for targeted dead skin cell and sebum removal.
HOW TO USE
- Use before toning and treatment. The TIRTIR Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub sits alongside the Matcha Pack Cleanser as a cleansing and exfoliation step. In the full Matcha Line routine: use the Bubble Tea Scrub on exfoliation days (1–3 times per week) in place of or after the Pack Cleanser as your T0 step.
- The amount of matcha cellulose pearls can be adjusted based on the skin's condition on any given day, allowing self-customised exfoliation ranging from gentle daily care (gel only) to intensive weekly treatment (gel plus pearls). This adaptability makes the scrub versatile across different skin zones and seasonal skin changes — targeting congested areas like the nose and chin with more pearls while keeping cheeks and sensitive areas gentler.
-
Tip! Crush 1-2 matcha pearls to customise your level of exfoliation. Adjust the quantity of pearls to control exfoliation intensity — more pearls for intensive treatment, fewer for everyday gentle refinement. Use the Gel-type only for everyday gentle maintenance, or combine Gel and Pearl for a more intensive weekly treatment
- How do I know how many pearls to use? The pearl quantity is deliberately self-adjustable, and there is no fixed rule — this is the scrub's key innovation. As a starting guideline: use zero pearls (Gel only) for everyday gentle maintenance or on sensitive skin days; use a small pinch of pearls for moderate weekly exfoliation; and use a larger amount for intensive monthly deep-cleansing treatment, particularly on congested T-zone areas.
