This stuff did not break me out and woke me up in the morning! It did have stronger exfoliating beads than the anit-againg blemish cleanser. I love this stuff and it did give me an improvement on my skin, it feels softer and gets rid of my blemishes faster.

I really didn't want to write this negative review because I like Olay products and I love the nourishing creme cleanser so I figured the scrub would be good since I like to use a scrub 2x a week to exfoliate.
This left my skin lobster red for hours with a burning tight like sensation and I don't have sensitive skin. I was really surprised because like I said I like Olay's products especially their face cleansers and their super moisturizing body washes.
Too bad because it's a nice smelling gentle scrub, I guess I'll stick with the other scrub they carry the 2in1 swirl like green bottle scrub.

I find most facial scrubs, tend to leave my face tight and dry, but this was just amazing. My skin felt refreshed, light and soft, and the micro-beads in the scrub itself are small enough that it's not irritating to use this daily (i use it in the morning and before bed) i would buy this again and again.

Several days ago I purchased this scrub along with the Total Effects Cream Cleanser + Blemish Control face wash and the Total Effects Firming Night Cream. (I also use Olay Complete SPF 15 Sensitive moisturizer but I have already been using this for the last year.)

I like this scrub. It's scrubbing particles are small and gentle enough for me to use daily, which is what my sensitive skin needs. I have been using this once a day (before bed). I love the smell too, it smells like an orange popsicle. When I pat my face with a towel afterward, my face doesn't feel tight and dry at all.

I have sensitive skin that is acne prone with certain ingredients, and it can easily unbalance to become too oily or too dry (or even oily/dry at the same time). Using this scrub in conjunction with the other products has balanced out my face in just a matter of days. I will continue buying it.

While I really like the add-water TE cleansing cloths, I cannot say the same for this scrub. With its promise of "refreshing citrus" goodness I was hoping for a drugstore duplicate of Bliss's Clog Dissolving Cleansing Milk. But no, it is not. This scrub-that-lathers does cleanse my skin & remove makeup. But I HATE the afterburn---courtesy of menthol. I think it much more menthol than it is citrus. Blech. Menthol is for medicines----and nothing else IMO. I will definitely not repurchase. I am not even sure that I will finish up this tube.
