For skin care skeptics, hearing about a brand launch or a new TikTok-viral product isn’t convincing enough to convince them to click “add to cart.” Those in the know are better swayed by expert-developed brands relying on tried-and-true ingredients to power their products. If you count yourself among the skin care savvy, Goldfaden MD is one of those brands that has proven its place. For starters, the brand was founded by Dr. Gary Goldfaden, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist with more than 50 years of experience. Specializing in cleansers, moisturizers, and treatments for a wide range of skin types, Goldfaden MD pairs science-backed studies with plant-based ingredients to deliver a line of at-home products that mimic some of Dr. Goldfaden’s most-requested in-office treatments.
There are a handful of bestsellers to form the basis of your skin care routine, but if there’s one product to try, it’s the Goldfaden MD Doctor’s Scrub. The exfoliating treatment was inspired by in-office microdermabrasion to immediately reveal clearer, brighter skin. Not only is it the top-selling product from the brand, but it’s also a beauty award-winner and a favorite among celebrities like Katie Holmes, Kate Hudson, and Jessica Alba.

Goldfaden MD Doctor’s Scrub
While in-office microdermabrasion uses crystals (or a diamond-tipped wand) to essentially sand your skin for a smoother texture and brighter tone, it can come with a slight recovery time (and side effects like swelling and redness). The Goldfaden MD Doctor’s Scrub eliminates those side effects with a physical scrub that’s infused with ruby crystals. The round crystals produce a gentler exfoliation that’s still able to clear away dead skin cells as you massage the scrub on your face, immediately helping to leave your skin feeling softer and looking more radiant.
As the crystals work to exfoliate, they also allow for the scrub’s moisturizing ingredients to better penetrate the skin. Jojoba seed oil, hyaluronic acid, and squalane work together to soften and hydrate the skin, while seaweed extract and red tea leaf extract offer soothing (and purportedly even collagen-boosting) benefits.
Perhaps just as important as what goes into the face scrub is what Goldfaden MD has intentionally left out. In an effort to make its formulas gentler on all skin types, the cruelty-free brand skips additives that have been deemed potentially irritating, such as silicones, parabens, and gluten. And while there are no synthetic fragrances listed in the Doctor’s Scrub ingredients, it’s always best to do a patch test first, then gradually incorporate the treatment into your routine as your skin begins to adjust (working up to two to three times per week, maximum).
