The 16 Best Body Scrubs & Exfoliators of 2022

This triple-acid (glycolic, lactic, and salicylic) foaming body scrub has become a favorite among beauty editors, and the minimalist packaging looks chic in any shower.

If you're prone to breakouts, this drugstore favorite contains a small amount of salicylic acid to treat acne without irritation.

Even with the dose of AHAs in this vanilla-scented scrub, skin is left hydrated thanks to jojoba seed oil (to clear out blocked pores and decrease inflammation) and castor oil (which minimizes the appearance of blemishes and pigmentation).

The peppermint scent of this cleansing gel is both refreshing and soothing, and contains ground pumice for gentle-yet-effective exfoliation.

Activate Olay's new Exfoliating Face & Body Powder with a touch of water to produce a lathering scrub that is packed with vitamins C and E.

You may know about the health benefits of red wine. But have you ever considered the value of it when used on the skin? Caudalie's scrub uses crushed grape seeds to naturally rid the body of dry skin, and boasts a delightful lemon rosemary scent.

Take smooth skin one step further and try this resurfacing body mask, featuring lactic acid (for a chemical exfoliation), green tea, and sandalwood oil, to rid dry patches and unwanted bumps. 

The best doesn't mean the most expensive. The purple rice water in this scrub gently exfoliates away dead skin so that even the most sensitive, dry skin types can tolerate the buffing.

If you're a fan of Biologique Recherche's cult-favorite P50 lotion, you'll be head-over-heels for their P50 body scrub. Like the lotion, the purifying scrub is filled with AHAs and BHAs that promotes cell turnover, removes dead skin cells, life impurities to prepare skin for following products (think a self-tan). 

If you're looking to dissipate tiny bumps on your legs or arms, turn to First Aid Beauty's body scrub. A powerful 10 percent of AHAs and pumice beads work to chemically and physically exfoliate the skin.

If you're looking for serious moisture with your scrubbing, try the Dove exfoliating body polish. Made with a quarter hydrating cream, you'll notice that your skin is soft and supple before you even have time to grab your moisturizer. 

The body iteration of the Anti-Aging Award-winning face exfoliator, Dr. Lancer's self-warming body polish uses fine quartz crystals, fruit extract (for added chemically exfoliate), and marula oil to buff away dry patches and promote cell turnover for long-lasting results.

For your next spa day, we suggest this coconut and rose-scented body scrub that boasts detoxifying pink clay and shea butter for a pampering treatment (and a chic #shelfie prop).

Feeling lazy? Skip the scrub and opt for this body wash, which is made with crushed walnut shells for instant exfoliation.

If your skin can handle a strong exfoliation, a coffee scrub will work wonders on keratosis pilaris or dry patches. Ground coffee improves circulation and promotes collagen production to diminish the appearance of cellulite, while cacao and almond oil hydrate and fade scars and marks.

The dual-action scrub iteration of Sol de Janeiro's cult-favorite Bum Bum Cream boasts the same sweet scent, but uses crushed cupuaçu seeds to buff away dead skin and guarana to improve circulation.
