Warning: I picked a $75 enzyme peel over a $20 scrub for a client with rosacea flare-ups last month.

A flare-up from a scrub is that bad?

Yeah, it can be really bad, @angela191. A harsh scrub can cause micro-tears and strip your skin barrier, letting in irritants. That's why a flare-up happens, it's your skin freaking out. I learned this the hard way with a gritty walnut scrub years ago. Now I only use chemical exfoliants a couple times a week. Physical scrubs are just too rough for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
