Gentle Scrub for Skin Redness Without Irritation
Introducing the TIRTIR Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub — the first redness-friendly exfoliating scrub in the TIRTIR Matcha Line, clinically proven to be suitable for use on irritated skin with no significant increase in redness after a single application. Inspired by the iconic bubble tea aesthetic, this dual-formula scrub combines plant-based Matcha Cellulose Pearl Balls with a non-irritating Konjac Gel Scrub base to deliver customisable, thorough exfoliation that adapts to your skin's daily needs.
Most exfoliating scrubs are off-limits for redness-prone and sensitive skin — too abrasive, too stripping, and too likely to aggravate inflammation. The TIRTIR Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub redefines what a scrub can do for reactive skin: its low-irritation soothing formula gently removes dead skin cells, excess sebum and surface congestion without triggering redness or excessive friction. The result is clinically verified — 84.9% dead skin cell removal when using the Gel and Pearl together, and 60.74% with Gel alone for gentler days.
The scrub's standout feature is its customisability: you control the intensity. Use the Gel-type only for everyday gentle maintenance, or combine Gel and Pearl for a more intensive weekly treatment — letting you calibrate exfoliation based on your skin's condition on any given day. Formulated with Matcha PDRN for soothing throughout the exfoliation process, and tested on 22 women and men aged 22–62.
Key Ingredients
Matcha Cellulose Pearl Ball — Customisable Physical Exfoliant
Bubble tea-inspired cellulose pearl balls that provide extra exfoliation when added to the Konjac Gel Scrub base. Made from plant-derived cellulose, they deliver physical exfoliation without the microplastic concerns of synthetic scrub beads. Adjust the quantity of pearls to control exfoliation intensity — more pearls for intensive treatment, fewer for everyday gentle refinement.
Konjac Gel Scrub — Plant-Based Non-Irritating Gel Base
A plant-based konjac gel formula that acts as the gentle, non-irritating scrub base. Konjac is a naturally derived ingredient renowned in skincare for its ability to cleanse and refine skin texture without stripping moisture or triggering inflammation — making it one of the few physical exfoliation bases considered safe for sensitive and redness-prone skin. The gel base also delivers inner skin hydration during the scrubbing process, confirmed by a 3.98% moisture improvement after use.
Dual Scrub Formula — Two-Type Customisable Exfoliation System
The combination of Matcha Cellulose Pearl Balls and Konjac Gel Scrub creates a two-type exfoliation system that enables fully customisable scrubbing for different skin areas and daily needs. Clinically tested separately and together, the dual formula provides a measurable difference in exfoliation depth — 84.9% dead skin cell removal with both types combined, versus 60.74% with gel alone — giving users genuine flexibility and control over their skin treatment.
Key Technology & Innovation
Gentle Exfoliation for Redness-Prone Skin
A low-irritation, soothing formula that can be used comfortably on skin reddened by external irritation. Clinically confirmed suitable for use on irritated skin — no significant increase in skin redness (a* value) was observed after a single application, even on pre-irritated skin. This makes the Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub a rare exfoliator genuinely appropriate for sensitive, redness-prone skin types.
Plant-Based Matcha Pearl and Konjac Gel Scrub
A mild scrub formula where plant-derived cellulose matcha pearls and konjac scrub gel work in combination to gently refine dead skin cells and excess sebum without excessive friction. Both components are plant-based, avoiding synthetic microbeads and the skin irritation associated with harsh physical exfoliants — aligning with clean beauty standards while delivering effective exfoliation results.
Customisable Matcha Pearl Texture
The amount of matcha cellulose pearls can be adjusted based on the skin's condition on any given day, allowing self-customised exfoliation ranging from gentle daily care (gel only) to intensive weekly treatment (gel plus pearls). This adaptability makes the scrub versatile across different skin zones and seasonal skin changes — targeting congested areas like the nose and chin with more pearls while keeping cheeks and sensitive areas gentler.

Q1. Is this scrub really safe to use on sensitive or redness-prone skin?
Yes — and unusually for a physical scrub, this is backed by clinical evidence. The TIRTIR Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub was tested on pre-irritated skin and showed no significant increase in redness (a* value) after a single application. The Konjac Gel Scrub base is plant-derived and specifically selected for its gentle, non-irritating properties, while Matcha PDRN provides active calming throughout the exfoliation process. This makes it one of the very few scrubs appropriate for skin prone to flushing, sensitivity or reactive redness.
Q2. What are the Matcha Cellulose Pearl Balls made from, and are they eco-friendly?
The Matcha Cellulose Pearl Balls are made from plant-derived cellulose — a natural, biodegradable material that provides effective physical exfoliation without the environmental concerns associated with synthetic plastic microbeads (which are banned in many countries). Their bubble tea-inspired appearance is a deliberate design choice that also communicates their plant-based, gentle nature. As cellulose beads, they break down naturally and do not persist as microplastic pollution.
Q3. How do I know how many pearls to use?
The pearl quantity is deliberately self-adjustable, and there is no fixed rule — this is the scrub's key innovation. As a starting guideline: use zero pearls (Gel only) for everyday gentle maintenance or on sensitive skin days; use a small pinch of pearls for moderate weekly exfoliation; and use a larger amount for intensive monthly deep-cleansing treatment, particularly on congested T-zone areas. Clinical results confirm that Gel + Pearl together remove 84.9% of dead skin cells versus 60.74% for Gel alone — so adjusting pearl quantity meaningfully changes exfoliation intensity.
Q4. Can I use this scrub after the Matcha Pack Cleanser, or should I choose one?
Both products serve different exfoliation roles and can complement each other in a routine, though they should not be used simultaneously on the same day to avoid over-exfoliation. The Matcha Pack Cleanser (T0 step) uses chemical exfoliation via four exfoliating acids for a daily gentle cleanse. The Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub provides physical exfoliation via pearls and gel for a deeper, more intensive treatment. A well-rounded routine might use the Pack Cleanser most days and substitute the Bubble Tea Scrub 1–2 times per week for targeted dead skin cell and sebum removal.
Q5. Where does the Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub fit in the full TIRTIR Matcha Line?
The TIRTIR Matcha Bubble Tea Scrub sits alongside the Matcha Pack Cleanser as a cleansing and exfoliation step — used before toning and treatment. In the full Matcha Line routine: use the Bubble Tea Scrub on exfoliation days (1–3 times per week) in place of or after the Pack Cleanser as your T0 step, followed by the Matcha Skin Toner to restore pH, the Matcha Dual Serum for targeted redness treatment, and the Matcha Calming Cream to seal and protect. Together, the complete six-product Matcha Line creates a clinically supported, redness-first skincare system from cleansing to protection.
