Gentle Scrub for Skin Redness Without Irritation

Introducing the TIRTIR Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub — the first redness-friendly exfoliating scrub in the TIRTIR Matcha Line, clinically proven to be suitable for use on irritated skin with no significant increase in redness after a single application. Inspired by the iconic bubble tea aesthetic, this dual-formula scrub combines plant-based Matcha Cellulose Pearl Balls with a non-irritating Konjac Gel Scrub base to deliver customisable, thorough exfoliation that adapts to your skin's daily needs.

Most exfoliating scrubs are off-limits for redness-prone and sensitive skin — too abrasive, too stripping, and too likely to aggravate inflammation. The TIRTIR Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub redefines what a scrub can do for reactive skin: its low-irritation soothing formula gently removes dead skin cells, excess sebum and surface congestion without triggering redness or excessive friction. The result is clinically verified — 84.9% dead skin cell removal when using the Gel and Pearl together, and 60.74% with Gel alone for gentler days.

The scrub's standout feature is its customisability: you control the intensity. Use the Gel-type only for everyday gentle maintenance, or combine Gel and Pearl for a more intensive weekly treatment — letting you calibrate exfoliation based on your skin's condition on any given day. Formulated with Matcha PDRN for soothing throughout the exfoliation process, and tested on 22 women and men aged 22–62.

Key Ingredients

Matcha Cellulose Pearl Ball — Customisable Physical Exfoliant

Bubble tea-inspired cellulose pearl balls that provide extra exfoliation when added to the Konjac Gel Scrub base. Made from plant-derived cellulose, they deliver physical exfoliation without the microplastic concerns of synthetic scrub beads. Adjust the quantity of pearls to control exfoliation intensity — more pearls for intensive treatment, fewer for everyday gentle refinement.

Konjac Gel Scrub — Plant-Based Non-Irritating Gel Base

A plant-based konjac gel formula that acts as the gentle, non-irritating scrub base. Konjac is a naturally derived ingredient renowned in skincare for its ability to cleanse and refine skin texture without stripping moisture or triggering inflammation — making it one of the few physical exfoliation bases considered safe for sensitive and redness-prone skin. The gel base also delivers inner skin hydration during the scrubbing process, confirmed by a 3.98% moisture improvement after use.

Dual Scrub Formula — Two-Type Customisable Exfoliation System

The combination of Matcha Cellulose Pearl Balls and Konjac Gel Scrub creates a two-type exfoliation system that enables fully customisable scrubbing for different skin areas and daily needs. Clinically tested separately and together, the dual formula provides a measurable difference in exfoliation depth — 84.9% dead skin cell removal with both types combined, versus 60.74% with gel alone — giving users genuine flexibility and control over their skin treatment.

Key Technology & Innovation

Gentle Exfoliation for Redness-Prone Skin

A low-irritation, soothing formula that can be used comfortably on skin reddened by external irritation. Clinically confirmed suitable for use on irritated skin — no significant increase in skin redness (a* value) was observed after a single application, even on pre-irritated skin. This makes the Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub a rare exfoliator genuinely appropriate for sensitive, redness-prone skin types.

Plant-Based Matcha Pearl and Konjac Gel Scrub

A mild scrub formula where plant-derived cellulose matcha pearls and konjac scrub gel work in combination to gently refine dead skin cells and excess sebum without excessive friction. Both components are plant-based, avoiding synthetic microbeads and the skin irritation associated with harsh physical exfoliants — aligning with clean beauty standards while delivering effective exfoliation results.

Customisable Matcha Pearl Texture

The amount of matcha cellulose pearls can be adjusted based on the skin's condition on any given day, allowing self-customised exfoliation ranging from gentle daily care (gel only) to intensive weekly treatment (gel plus pearls). This adaptability makes the scrub versatile across different skin zones and seasonal skin changes — targeting congested areas like the nose and chin with more pearls while keeping cheeks and sensitive areas gentler.
