Frequently asked questions

Is grape seed powder safe for all skin types?

Grape seed powder can be too abrasive for very sensitive or compromised skin. It is best suited for normal to oily skin types that can tolerate physical exfoliation.

How often should I use products with grape seed powder?

The frequency of use depends on your skin type and the product's formulation. Generally, physical exfoliants should be used 1-3 times per week to avoid over-exfoliation.
