Collistar Gentle Gel Scrub 100ml is a face exfoliator built specifically for sensitive skin, swapping the abrasive granules of a typical scrub for fine sugar micro-grains suspended in a soothing gel. Hyaluronic acid, allantoin and prebiotic inulin keep the skin's barrier comfortable while the sugar dissolves with massage, giving a smoothing, glow-restoring polish that even reactive complexions can use weekly.
About Collistar
Collistar is an Italian beauty house founded in Milan in 1983 by Daniela Sacerdote, originally as the cosmetics arm of a family pharmaceutical group. Its skincare line, developed in collaboration with dermatologists, is built around well-tolerated formulas that combine plant-derived ingredients with proven cosmetic actives. The Sensitive Skin range — including the Gentle Gel Scrub — is dermatologically tested for tolerance and made to nickel-tested standards (less than 0.0001%).
Key ingredients
- Sugar micro-grains: physically smooth and refine without scratching, dissolving as you massage
- Hyaluronic acid & trehalose: humectants that hydrate and help maintain skin comfort during exfoliation
- Allantoin & urea: calming, conditioning actives well tolerated by reactive skin
- St. John's wort & wild motherwort: Italian botanicals selected for hydrating, soothing and rebalancing properties
- Inulin (prebiotic): supports the skin's natural microbiome through the cleansing step
Key benefits
- Smooths rough, dull and tired-looking skin in under a minute
- Gentle enough for sensitive, easily reactive complexions
- No silicones, alcohol, perfume allergens, harsh surfactants or ingredients of animal origin
- Made in Italy and dermatologically tested for sensitive skin and eyes
Who it's for
Best for sensitive, reactive or easily dehydrated skin types who want the smoothness of a scrub without the scratch of harsher granules. Suitable for those with rosacea-prone or post-acne complexions who tolerate gentle physical exfoliation, and a useful option for anyone using stronger actives elsewhere in their routine (retinol, AHAs) and wanting a kinder occasional resurfacing step.
How to use
- Use once or twice a week on cleansed, damp skin.
- Apply a small amount of the gel and massage in light circular motions for around 30–60 seconds, avoiding the immediate eye area.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water until the skin feels clean and smooth.
- Pat dry and follow with your usual toner, serum and moisturiser.
- If your skin is very reactive, start with once weekly and build up only if comfortable.
