Odacite
Peach Cypress Serum Concentrate, SGD58 (via Pure Tincture)

People with combination skin, this is the serum for you. Combination skin can be difficult to work with: products that suit your T-zone may be overly drying on other places, but this serum balances between the two beautifully. Mix the product with your cream for a daily boost, or apply onto dry skin for an intense treatment. The peach oil helps to balance complexion and leaves skin soft and glowy. A must-have!

Orbis
Body Scrub Jam, SGD29 (via Zalora)

A problem with exfoliators are its microbeads that can damage our ecosystem, but have no fear with this Orbis body scrub jam. Made with 100% natural scrub particles from peach, apricot, and corn, treat both your body and the ocean right. This thick jam helps to clarify and cleanse your skin without stripping your natural oil. Or, keep it on for a little longer and use it as a body mask to keep your skin feeling supple and soft.

VECUA Honey
Wonder Honey Body Gommage Body Scrub, SGD20.40 (via Zalora)

True, the key ingredient in this body scrub is honeydew. But, still, the peach and apricot seeds are used as its main exfoliator to purify your skin. Though this scrub doesn’t have that wonderful peach scent, it harnesses the power of peaches, apricot, lemon, and honey to provide a comprehensive scrub that firms and refines the skin.
