This limited-edition version is bound to sell out.
Collaborations used to be rare and exciting, but now they’re overdone. Every brand and person has one, and most of the time they don’t make sense. Despite my cynicism, I am deeply invested in and 100 percent behind the body care-fragrance mash-up between Soft Services and D.S. & Durga. The former makes genuinely effective products and the latter the most inimitable and divine fragrances.
The result of the partnership is a new variation of Soft Services’s hero product, the Microcrystal Exfoliant Body Buffing Bar. It has all the romance and nostalgia of an old-school bar of soap but with the supped-up efficacy of a modern, scientifically-backed formula. Then there’s the bonus of D.S. & Durga’s Debaser fragrance, which is a $210 indulgence outside of this collab.

The Buffing Bar is the remedy for anything less than pristinely smooth and even skin. It’s a physical exfoliant with moisturizing, soothing, and humectant properties. The formula sloughs off roughness, bumpy skin texture (think: chicken skin and keratosis pilaris), and dark spots with magnesium oxide, the strength of which is determined by the pressure you choose to exert. It simultaneously imparts deep penetrating hydration thanka to shea butter and glycerin and soothes potential post-exfoliation irritation with calming aloe vera. This edition has a cherry on top, and that’s D.S. & Durga’s woody fig, orange blossom, and light musk scent.
A shopper called the two-pack buffing bar “revolutionary” for treating keratosis pilaris (KP). A Sephora reviewer of the unscented version called the “super gentle but really effective” formula a form of “sorcery.” Others say it’s the best product they’ve tried for “soft and smooth skin” in decades. Clearly, it’s worth a try.
Head to Soft Services to shop the chic, limited-edition Debaser Microcrystal Exfoliant Body Buffing Bar. It’s a marriage between two products that are prone to selling out—so, don’t wait too long.
