GHOSTBOND Smooth Start Exfoliating Gel: The New Name for Apricot Exfoliating Cream
GHOSTBOND's scalp exfoliator, previously sold as Remove All and as the Apricot Exfoliating Cream, is now called Smooth Start Exfoliating Gel. The new name came with GHOSTBOND's 2026 rebrand, and it arrives in its new packaging from 2 November 2026, in a 250 ml jar.
What GHOSTBOND Smooth Start Exfoliating Gel is
Smooth Start is designed to prepare the scalp for a fresh application. It is formulated with apricot seed powder, which gently exfoliates to remove dead skin cells and surface build-up, leaving the scalp smoother and refreshed.
A smooth, clean scalp gives the adhesive a better surface to bond to, which is why exfoliation is a standard step in professional preparation routines.
Who it suits
Smooth Start suits anyone preparing for a new application, particularly wearers whose bond lifts early because of dry or flaking skin, and professionals preparing a client's scalp.
Key features
- Formulated with apricot seed powder
