Why You’ll Love It
A CURVEBALL FOR SENSITIVE SKIN.
Exfoliation without irritation. Using 100% natural and perfectly spherical Jojoba Beads, this Omega-rich gel gently rolls across the skin to lift away dead skin cells and impurities – leaving zero damage to skin (or oceans). No rawness, no redness. Skin feels soft, smooth and nourished.
Without exfoliation, you won’t be getting the most out of your skincare. Removing dead skin cells means your products don't just sit on top, but actually get to work on your skin. And now sensitive skin can do it too.

Kukui
Kukui Oil’s #1 job is to prevent water loss in the skin. An Omega-rich shield, this lightweight, brightening oil protects the skin’s delicate moisture barrier so that it stays soft and moisturised.

Jojoba Bead
The wax from the jojoba plant is formed into tiny spherical beads. Excellent exfoliators, they roll across the skin to gently remove dead skin cells. They’re 100% natural and biodegradable so kind to oceans too.
"We joined forces with a few fellow natural brands to get plastic microbeads banned in the UK in 2018. Jojoba wax beads are a brilliant natural alternative that don't harm ocean life. These tiny perfect spheres roll across skin without tearing skin cells, for a smoother, brighter complexion. A paragon of virtue."

Reviews
Silky Soft Skin
"I am a huge fan of this exfoliator and have been using it for years and it never disappoints. I love the smell and texture of the tiny little beads that run over your skin and then the milky consistency that forms when water is added. This is my go-to exfoliator every time!"
Exfoliating Greatness!!
"This is an amazing product. Exfoliates and leaves skin soft."
Middlemist Seven™ Gentle Cream Cleanser & Face Cloth
"A little goes a long way. Very gentle and gets all my makeup off. My skin feels hydrated and not dry after using. I would prefer an option without the cloth."
Great exfoliator
"The Pai Virtuous Circle Exfoliator is gentle but thorough. It also does not contain any microplastics, only natural jojoba beads made from the wax of the jojoba plant. It also contains a variety of natural, plant oils. After a gentle scrub, my skin is smooth and glowing, no dry skin patches and no irritation."
Brilliant, gentle exfoliator
"Great product - a little goes a long way and it’s effective whilst still excellent for sensitive skin"
Exfoliant genius
"A warm feeling when you first put it on your skin and then it melts into your face, leaving it thoroughly clean after you have rinsed the product off"
Leaves my skin feeling refreshed.
"Leaves my skin feeling refreshed. It feels clean and smooth and appears less dry. Feels gentle yet exfoliating."
Virtuous Circle
"This is the first physical exfoliant I have tried in a long while. Previous ones left my skin irritated and red. The application and removal of this product was easy, my skin felt smooth, fresh and soft with NO irritation and I feel the effects have lasted, skin look more luminous and smooth."
Virtuous Circle
"Is wonderful!Gentle but very effective. Leaves skin clean and smooth. ❤️"
Q&A
- How do we know when it's expired or past its ideal shelf life?
- Hi Katie, Yes, there is an expiry date which you can find on the tube. This indicates when the product needs to be used up by. We don't recommend using products past this date so it's important to keep an eye on this. Pai Customer Experience Team
- Bonjour, ce produit peut il être utilisé si on est enceinte ? Merci
- Bonjour Maya, notre cercle vertueux est adapté tout au long de votre grossesse. Cependant, veuillez noter que ce produit contient des huiles essentielles. Nous utilisons bien en dessous du niveau recommandé pendant la grossesse, nous ne les considérons donc pas comme un risque, mais si vous préférez les éviter complètement pendant votre premier trimestre, nous vous recommandons d'attendre d'utiliser ce produit jusqu'à votre deuxième trimestre. Plus d'informations peuvent être trouvées [ici](https://support.paiskincare.com/hc/fr/articles/213255909-Je-suis-enceinte-Puis-je-utiliser-les-produits-Pai-pendant-la-grossesse-).

- I have Rosacea with a slightly sore pink nose. Is this exfoliation product safe to use on my nose?
- Hi Nina! While our Virtuous Circle Exfoliator is suitable for rosacea-prone skin, we would recommend waiting until the flare-up is under control before adding it to your routine. Once the sore skin and redness have calmed, use the exfoliator every 7-10 days to gently buff away the dead skin cells and help the rest of your products absorb into the skin better. We hope this helps! Pai Customer Experience Team
- Hello I am finding the exfoliator quite harsh and it does not easily glide over my skin in the gel stage. However, once adding the water, it becomes gentle and glides very easily over the skin. Would the exfoliator be as effective in the ‘add water’ stage as in the gel stage? Thank you.
- Hi Joanna! Applying the exfoliator to dry skin provides more grip for the jojoba beads to buff away the dead skin cells and leave a smoother surface. You can skip the step of massaging into dry skin but you may not achieve as effective results. If you would like further tips or advice to get the best results out of your skincare routine, please book a [free skin consultation](https://www.paiskincare.com/pages/skincare-consultation?utm_source=zendesk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=zendesk-email) with us and we would be happy to help!

- Il est notifié gommage et masque ! Votre produit est donc un gommage et masque en même temps? Pas besoin de refaire un masque hydratant ou éclatant par dessus donc?? Merci pour vos réponses. Urgent svp
- Salut Marie, merci pour ta question ! Ce produit n'est pas un masque, c'est un exfoliant pour éliminer en douceur les cellules mortes de la peau. Les ingrédients nourrissants agissent pour conditionner et lisser la peau, mais une fois retirés, vous pouvez appliquer un masque pour donner au ski un coup de pouce hydratant, comme notre [Curtain Call Mask](https://www.paiskincare.fr/products/rosehip-bioregenerate-rapid-radiance-mask?utm_source=zendesk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=zendesk-email).
