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.

Key actives
Sodium Bicarbonate
First on the list, the baking soda this line is named for is the primary alkaline exfoliating ingredient in this scrub, meant to lift debris out of visibly clogged pores.
Silica
Positioned among the early texture ingredients, silica is one of two physical exfoliating particles in this scrub (paired with hydrated silica), giving the formula its gritty, pore-focused texture.
Microcrystalline Cellulose
A plant-derived exfoliating particle placed mid list, a gentler physical texture Korean scrubs use alongside silica for a polishing rather than harsh scraping feel.
Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
A mild, coconut-derived surfactant among the later ingredients, the cleansing base that carries the physical exfoliating particles through a rinse-off scrub.
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.

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.
