Kylie Jenner recently announced the release of a new walnut face scrub, but some people aren't happy.

She said the scrub is really gentle, but many aren't convinced because walnut scrubs can be damaging to the skin. So people have been reacting negatively to the launch on Twitter.

"There are walnut shells in it, and when you drag them across your face as an exfoliator, you are creating micro-tears in the skin," Hassan Sayyed, the founder of skincare brand Haus Urban, said in a video. "You are cutting your face over and over and over again."

Dermatologist Marisa Garshick told INSIDER that walnut scrubs can irritate the surface of the skin, so it's better to use chemical exfoliants like glycolic acid and lactic acid.
