An exfoliating scrub contains in a mild cream or gel base a therapeutically effective concentration of niacinamide and an abrasive exfoliating agent, preferably powdered walnut shells. The scrub is applied topically to areas of the skin that are to be treated and is massaged into the skin. The scrub is thereafter removed. The scrub contains niacinamide in an amount between about 1 and 20% by weight. |
