How it works
A sugar scrub works through physical texture rather than a chemical acid: the granules are massaged over skin to lift dry, flaking surface skin, then rinsed away completely. That physical action is gentler on some skin than an acid but rougher than a peeling gel, which is why lighter pressure and a shorter massage matter more with a scrub than with a chemical exfoliant. Judge it by how the treated area feels immediately after rinsing. A fair trial means giving it the same handful of uses you would give any new step before deciding whether it earns a permanent place in your routine. Consistency across days does more for a fair read than any single application, since a genuine change in how skin looks or feels builds gradually rather than all at once.
Key benefits
- A scrub built specifically for its place as an occasional exfoliating step
- Carries NEOGEN's own formulation approach into a scrub format
- Sourced for the Korean market, the same Dermalogy Real Polish - Royal Honey & Sugar Scrub 100g sold on shelves in Korea
- Sized at 100g for regular use
- Carries its original Korean-market barcode and batch code intact
- Part of NEOGEN's wider range, built for the same routine step every time
How to use
- Massage over damp skin with light pressure for under a minute, focusing on rough patches, then rinse thoroughly. Use once or twice a week.
How often should I use Dermalogy Real Polish - Royal Honey & Sugar Scrub 100g?
Once or twice a week is the usual pace; using a physical scrub more often than that risks irritating the surface rather than smoothing it. As with any new step, give it a fair, consistent trial of a week or two before you decide whether to keep it in your routine, and stop if you notice ongoing irritation rather than pushing through it.
Can I use it on active breakouts?
Avoid scrubbing directly over active breakouts, since physical friction on inflamed skin tends to make it feel more irritated rather than better. As with any new step, give it a fair, consistent trial of a week or two before you decide whether to keep it in your routine, and stop if you notice ongoing irritation rather than pushing through it.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a version made for the US market?
This is the Korean-market formula, the same one sold on shelves in Korea rather than a version reformulated for US retail.
Can I use this if my skin runs sensitive?
This scrub is formulated with skin types like normal or dry skin in mind, but any new product is worth a patch test first if your skin reacts easily. A short patch test on the inside of your arm or behind an ear before it goes on your face is worth doing, and that goes for sensitive skin most of all.
How long before I will know if this is right for my skin?
Give it a full week or two of consistent use before you judge, since a single use rarely tells you much either way. Watch for how skin feels and looks rather than for any specific number, and stop use if you notice ongoing irritation.

Ingredient list read from neogenlab.us on 30 August 2026.
27 of 29 explained
- 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.
- Sucrose(25.285%) humectant
- Sucrose is table sugar, used here as a humectant. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and, in a scrub, doubles as the physical grain.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride emollient
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is the light fraction of coconut oil, with the heavy parts removed. It is the workhorse emollient of modern formulas: it softens skin, dissolves oil-soluble actives and absorbs without the greasy weight of a whole plant oil.
- Dicaprylyl Carbonate emollient
- Dicaprylyl Carbonate is a light, fast-spreading emollient with a notably dry finish. It is chosen where a formula has to spread thin without leaving a heavy film.
- Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate emulsifier
- Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate is a mild sugar-derived solubiliser used to dissolve fragrance and oil into watery formulas.
- Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax occlusive
- Candelilla wax, from a desert shrub, and the usual plant substitute for beeswax. It gives sticks and balms a firm, slightly brittle set.
- Disteardimonium Hectorite thickener
- Disteardimonium Hectorite is a modified clay used to thicken the oil phase and stop pigments settling to the bottom of the bottle.
- Xylose sugar
- Xylose is a simple wood sugar. It is a humectant, and it is the unit the xylitol-based hydration blends are built from.
- Water 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.
- Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract(12.59ppm) plant extract
- Rice Extract is the anchor of the Korean rice-skincare category. It carries starches, amino acids and ferulic acid, and it is used for the look of dullness and for a soft, blurred finish.
- Glutathione antioxidant
- Glutathione is a small peptide the body uses as one of its main antioxidants. In skincare it is used as an antioxidant and for the look of dullness; it is unstable in water, so formulas that carry it are usually built around protecting it.
- Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil emollient
- Sea buckthorn oil, deep orange from its carotenoid content, which is often why a formula carrying it has a colour nobody added. It is high in the unusual fatty acid palmitoleic acid.
15 more explained
- Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate thickener
- Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate is a polymer thickener that holds a gel stable even with a lot of salt or acid in the formula.
- Hydroxyacetophenone preservative booster
- Hydroxyacetophenone is an antioxidant that also strengthens a preservative system, so a formula needs less traditional preservative. Korean formulas pair it with 1,2-hexanediol constantly.
- Dipropylene Glycol humectant
- Dipropylene Glycol is a glycol used as a solvent and a light humectant. Its main job is keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid rather than adding hydration of its own.
- Caprylyl Glycol preservative booster
- Caprylyl Glycol is a glycol that conditions skin and, more importantly, strengthens a preservative system so less of the traditional preservative is needed. It appears in most modern formulas built without parabens.
- Hydrogenated Polydecene emollient
- Hydrogenated Polydecene is a synthetic hydrocarbon emollient used in place of mineral oil. It is stable, has no scent, and gives a cushioned slip without oxidising.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- Hedera Helix (Ivy) Leaf/Stem Extract plant extract
- Ivy Leaf and Stem Extract carries saponins, plant compounds that foam slightly in water. It is used in body and eye formulas for the look of puffiness.
- Pimpinella Anisum (Anise) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Anise seed extract. It carries the plant's aromatic compounds and is used as a conditioning extract that contributes scent.
- Maltodextrin film former
- Maltodextrin is a starch-derived sugar chain used to carry powdered extracts and to form a light film. It also gives a soft, smoothing feel.
- Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract plant extract
- Vanilla bean extract. It carries vanillin, the compound its scent comes from, along with polyphenols, so it contributes fragrance as well as extract.
- Trideceth-10 emulsifier
- An ethoxylated fatty alcohol used as an emulsifier and solubiliser. It dissolves small amounts of oil or fragrance into a watery formula without clouding it.
- Musa Sapientum (Banana) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Banana fruit extract, carrying sugars, starch and potassium. It hydrates and leaves a soft, cushioned feel.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate active
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
