When ClayCo sent their latest skincare innovation… the ClayCo Matcha Enzyme Scrub with AHA & BHA (70 gm) to TheGlitz office, we at TheGlitz knew we were in for something special. And, why not? ClayCo has built a well-earned reputation for delivering effective, thoughtfully formulated products, and we had every reason to expect this one would live up to the standard. And it did more than deliver… it impressed. From first application, it was clear: this scrub doesn’t just promise results, it achieves them. Our skin felt instantly smoother, fresher, and visibly more refined.

Let’s dive into TheGlitz review…

ClayCo Matcha Enzyme Scrub with AHA & BHA – First Impressions: Looks to Kill (Dead Skin Cells)

ClayCo clearly understood the assignment. The scrub arrives in a sleek, millennial-pink tube with just the right amount of minimalism to whisper “eco-chic” without screaming “trying too hard.” It’s travel-friendly, Instagrammable, and screams, “I exfoliate, but I do it stylishly.”

Uncapping it reveals a creamy, subtly gritty paste… the texture equivalent of a cashmere sweater with a little sass. It’s gentle, yet firm. Think: exfoliation with manners.

The Ingredients: Science Meets Spa Day

Here’s the magic mix:

AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid): A powerhouse for refining texture and restoring radiance, AHA gently exfoliates the skin’s surface, revealing a smoother, more even complexion with every use.

BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid): Known for its ability to penetrate deeply, BHA works below the surface to clear out pores and reduce congestion, making it ideal for maintaining clarity and balance.

Matcha Extract: Rich in antioxidants and naturally calming, matcha helps soothe the skin while supporting its natural defenses, leaving it looking refreshed and revitalized.

Enzymes: Derived from fruit, these natural exfoliants work gently yet effectively to dissolve dead skin cells, promoting a luminous, polished finish without irritation.

Together, they do more than exfoliate. They harmonize.

The Experience: Scrub, Rinse, Radiate

Application is a sensorial delight. The scrub massages on like silk with a side of scrub. Leave it on for a minute or two, and let the acids get to work (no tingling, just tingly potential). Rinse off and cue the mirror double take: smooth, soft to touch and radiant skin.

After a few days of testing, Team Glitz unanimously agreed: our skin felt clearer, pores looked more behaved, and there was an undeniable soft, silky, smooth and radiant vibe.

TheGlitz Verdict: A Soft (But Fierce) “Yes“

Let’s get one thing straight: this scrub is not your gritty 2010 face wash that doubles up as sandpaper. It’s a sophisticated blend of chemical and physical exfoliation that respects your skin barrier while still sloughing off dead cells to the curb.

Who’s it best for?

• Oily or combo skin – yes… works like magic.
• Dullness, texture, blackheads? Helps smoothen the skin. This is indeed your skincare power play.
• Sensitive skin? We felt it was gentle enough to work on all kinds of skin. But still if your skin is very sensitive, proceed with a patch test.

TheGlitz Final Words:

ClayCo’s Matcha Enzyme Scrub is like a detox yoga class for your face: gentle but transformative. It’s that rare exfoliant that makes you feel like you’ve done something luxurious and productive for your skin.

What sets this scrub apart is its ability to strike the perfect balance between indulgence and efficacy. Just like a restorative yoga class that leaves you feeling both relaxed and recharged, the scrub delivers noticeable results without overwhelming the skin. It’s formulated with a mix of chemical and enzymatic exfoliants AHA, BHA, and fruit-derived enzymes, each working harmoniously to renew the skin’s surface, clear pores, and improve texture. But despite its active ingredients, the scrub remains remarkably gentle, making it suitable for regular use without irritation. That’s the “gentle but transformative” magic.

And yes, while the “green” matcha element adds a layer of wellness appeal, this is no gimmick. The antioxidant-rich extract actually soothes and protects the skin, giving the product its signature fresh and calm-meets-clarity feel. The glamorous side comes from the refined finish it leaves behind… smooth, radiant, and visibly refreshed skin.

So, is it worth the hype? At TheGlitz, we’re giving it a resounding yes. Our skin’s never felt smoother.

In a crowded skincare landscape, where every new launch promises the moon, it’s rare for a product to actually live up to its claims. ClayCo’s Matcha Enzyme Scrub not only meets expectations, it quietly exceeds them. After consistent use for a couple of days, the results are tangible: refined texture, minimized pores, and a visibly brighter complexion.
