ETUDE - Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub 200g

ETUDE Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub (200g) is a Korean face scrub that contains 43.5% baking powder (sodium bicarbonate) in micro-sized granules. Made by ETUDE, it gently exfoliates and helps clear excess oil, impurities and buildup from pores, while a cooling agent leaves skin feeling fresh and tight-pored. This 200g tube is the at-home version of the brand’s cult single-use pouches. It suits normal, oily and combination skin with blackheads and congested pores. ETUDE Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub is available in Kuwait from Skin Valet at 6.250 KWD.

Skin Valet Kuwait is an authorized stockist of ETUDE. Every tube is sourced through official distributors, never grey-market or refilled stock, so you receive the original formula as ETUDE makes it in Korea.

What ETUDE Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub Does

This is a weekly reset for congested skin: a crunchy scrub that polishes the surface and leaves pores feeling clean and cool.

• 43.5% baking powder – micro-sized sodium bicarbonate granules gently exfoliate and help lift oil and buildup.
• Silica and cellulose beads – extra fine particles that add to the scrubbing action.
• Cooling sensation – menthoxypropanediol gives a fresh, cool feeling as you massage.
• Glycerin cushion – helps the scrub glide so skin feels smooth, not scratched.
• 200g tube – easy to use at home, and far less packaging than daily pouches.

Crunch Pore Scrub vs Baking Powder Cleansing Foam

Unlike the ETUDE Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam, which is a creamy daily wash, the Crunch Pore Scrub is a dedicated exfoliating step with a much higher concentration of baking powder granules. ETUDE rates both for normal to oily skin and pore care. Use the foam for everyday cleansing and the scrub when your nose and chin feel rough or bumpy. It is a physical exfoliator, not an acid peel, so the results are immediate smoothness rather than a slow resurfacing effect.

Why Pores Need Extra Help in Kuwait

Kuwait’s climate is tough on pores. Summer heat above 45°C increases oil and sweat, and humid coastal days keep skin slick for hours. Fine dust and sand in the air settle onto that oily layer, along with sunscreen, which is the perfect recipe for blackheads on the nose and chin.

A weekly scrub helps clear that buildup so your toner and serum can absorb better. Don’t overdo it, though: long hours in air-conditioning already dry the skin, and scrubbing too often can leave it tight and sensitive. Once or twice a week is plenty for most people.

How to Use ETUDE Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub

1. Cleanse your face and leave it damp.
2. Squeeze a small amount of scrub onto your fingertips.
3. Massage gently in circular motions, focusing on the nose, chin and forehead.
4. Rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water.
5. Follow with a hydrating toner and moisturizer.

Use it 1–2 times a week, in the evening. Massage lightly: the granules do the work, so pressing hard is not needed. Avoid the eye area and any broken, sunburned or irritated skin. Skip it on nights you use strong acids or retinoids, and wear sunscreen the next morning. If you have sensitive skin, patch test first, as the formula contains fragrance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I use ETUDE Baking Powder Crunch Pore Scrub?

Once or twice a week is enough for most skin. It contains 43.5% baking powder granules, so using it every day can over-exfoliate and leave skin feeling tight or sensitive.

Does ETUDE Baking Powder scrub help with blackheads?

It helps. The baking powder granules gently exfoliate and clear oil and buildup from pores, so blackheads on the nose and chin look less visible with regular weekly use alongside a good daily cleanser.
