How it works
As a physical scrub, this product's job is to lift away built-up surface debris and dead skin cells that a regular cleanser passes over. Its granular texture works mechanically as you massage it in, rather than relying on an acid to dissolve buildup chemically. That mechanical action is why a light hand and a short massage time matter more here than with a foaming cleanser. Rinsing then carries the loosened debris away, leaving a smoother surface behind. Used a couple of times a week rather than daily, it works as an occasional texture step layered on top of a regular cleansing routine.

Inside the formula
Inside the formula
When do I use Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub?
Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub is an occasional exfoliating step, used a couple of times a week rather than as a daily cleanser. Work it into your routine at that point rather than swapping it in for a different step, since the timing is part of how a Korean routine sequences a pore scrub.
How much Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub should I use?
A little goes further than it looks: most people use a coin-sized amount or a few pumps for the face, then adjust up or down once they see how their skin responds over the first week.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea?
Yes. This is the Korean-market ETUDE release, imported with its original Korean-language packaging, barcode, and batch code intact, rather than a version reformulated or repackaged for US retail. We check that batch code against the one on the box before it ships, instead of relying on the listing alone.
Can I use Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub if I have sensitive skin?
Patch test on the inner arm before the first full-face application, as with any new formula, and watch for redness or stinging over the following day before working it into daily use.
How long does one 200 g of Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub last?
That depends on how much you apply each time and how often, but a typical full-size bottle used once or twice a day generally lasts one to two months for most people.

Ingredient list read from incidecoder.com on 10 September 2026.
17 of 19 explained
- Sodium Bicarbonate pH adjuster
- Baking soda. In a formula it raises pH, and in a fizzing product it is the half that meets an acid and releases carbon dioxide.
- Water/Aqua/Eau solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Silica absorbent
- Silica is finely milled mineral, essentially very pure sand. It absorbs oil, stops powders clumping and soft-focuses the look of pores and fine lines.
- Hydrated Silica absorbent
- Hydrated Silica is silica holding bound water. It absorbs oil, thickens, and in a toothpaste or scrub works as a mild polishing grain.
- Microcrystalline Cellulose absorbent
- Microcrystalline Cellulose is purified cellulose ground fine. It thickens, holds powders in suspension and gives a soft, matte feel.
- PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil emulsifier
- PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is a castor-oil-derived solubiliser. It is what keeps fragrance and oil-soluble ingredients dissolved in a watery formula so it stays clear.
- Fragrance/Parfum fragrance
- Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate surfactant
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate is a mild coconut-derived surfactant known for a rich, creamy lather that rinses without tightness.
- Cellulose Gum thickener
- Cellulose Gum is plant cellulose modified to dissolve in water. It thickens, holds particles in suspension and gives a smooth, slippery body.
- Sodium Sulfite antioxidant
- A reducing agent used to stop vitamin C and other easily oxidised ingredients from browning in the bottle.
- Menthoxypropanediol humectant
- Menthoxypropanediol is menthol joined to a glycol. It hydrates and gives a long, low cooling feel rather than the sharp hit of menthol itself.
5 more explained
- Limonene fragrance component
- Limonene is the citrus-peel aromatic. It appears here because EU labelling requires 26 fragrance components to be named individually rather than hidden inside "fragrance", and it is one of them.
- Hexyl Cinnamal fragrance component
- Hexyl Cinnamal is a jasmine-like aromatic. It is one of the 26 fragrance components EU labelling requires to be named individually.
- Sodium Chloride thickener
- Sodium Chloride is salt. In a cleanser it thickens the liquid; in a mask or essence it balances the mineral content of the water phase. It has no active role.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Linalool fragrance component
- Linalool is a floral aromatic found in lavender, bergamot and coriander. It is one of the 26 fragrance components EU labelling requires to be declared by name.

How to use
- Wet the face with lukewarm water, rather than rushing through this step.
- Take a small amount and massage gently over the face in circular motions.
- Focus on the T-zone and other areas prone to congestion, avoiding the eye area.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, rather than rushing through this step.
Worth knowing
- Use no more than two to three times a week, since over-scrubbing can leave skin feeling raw or sensitized.
- Avoid use over active breakouts or irritated skin.
