I purchase this product because of the great reviews. Will continue to use but will not repurchase. It's too harsh to use on my face but as a body scrub, it does smooth my skin. It did lessen the bumps on my thighs but didn't get rid of my back acne. Instead, I switched to Neutrogena All In One Daily Scrub and my back acne improved significantly.

I absolutely love this scrub, it's probably my favorite skincare product. You can really feel that it exfoliates well. I use this twice a week, and usually start off by scrubbing thoroughly before I leave it on as a mask for 15 min. This contains glycolic acid, so if you have sensitive skin you can drop the scrubbing-part and just use it as a mask and still get the benefits. This really makes your skin look clear and radiant, and you can very well see the before and after results. I always use a clay mask after this scrub before finishing up with a moisturizing mask, an important step, because this product can feel rough and a bit drying. However, using the moisturizing mask my skin feels SUPER soft, and there is very easy to apply makeup the next day since there are no dry spots or flaking.
Very basic bottle containing 250 ml and lasts for ages, I've had mine for over a year. RECOMMENDED!

This was a really decent product. I especially used it to exfoliate before applying self-tanner or just to help beat the blah winter skin I get. The bottle says it's gentle enough to use everyday for face and body, but I wouldn't recommend using daily on the face. as it's a little too harsh beyond maybe once a week for me. This lasted me forever as well. Only complaint is this was a touch pricey, so I'll experiment with some cheaper options before considering picking this up again.

I`ve bought this two times - that is, over a whole year.
I used ut twice a week on my face - and it really lasts for a very long time.
I would not recommend this to very sensitive or very dry skin - the grains are too harsh for that(also the active ingredients will probably dry the skin out a bit) - but for normale/oily skin that isn`t very sensitive, yes.
This did save my skin one late nights with more makeup on than usual, and it made my skin quite soft the next day.
However, it didn`t make my breakouts go away/reduce - didn`t clear my skin up.
I changed from this to Jan Marinis daily cleanser(exfoliates, but without the grains) - and Jan Marini gives it a more radiant look(and helps the break out a little bit) more than MD.
Much more I would say, actually.
So, I`m using the rest on my body - and if Jan Marini stop having a more positive effect I`ll go back to MD.

This is a real game changer! ..So to speak. It has approximately the same sized particles as the St.Ives daily microdermabrasion, but way more exfoliating power! I'm sure you all know how to use a scrub, results will be heightened if left on the skin for a few minutes at least, due to the high glycolic acid content. Just buy it! Any Australians out there, it is a third of the price if you purchase online from the UK. The mark-up for MD Formulations in Australia is actually ridiculous!

I have this in the larger professional size with a pump. It's the best morning cleanser for me - easy to use in the shower. Scrubs always rinse off better in the shower. It helps exfoliate any dry, flaky skin leftover from retinols, glycolics or whatever. It leaves your skin nice and smooth for moisturizer and foundation application. As good as it scrubs clean, it doesn't seem to dry out the skin at all. Even if I don't put moisturizer on (my skin is very oily), it doesn't really feel dry - just nice, smooth and clean. This scrub does contain glycolic and I think that helps it "deep clean" your skin. Two thumbs up!

This is absolutely great! As others have mentioned, one package will last about two years. Taken in consideration, this is dirt cheap! :)
My only complaint is the packaging, which goes for all MD Formulations-products: the screw cap very easily breaks, and when it is broken, it is impossible to fix!
This is still a five lippie for me, and yes, I would repurchase! :)

This is the best scrub I have ever tried! I use it as a face scrub twice a weak and it is great. Usually I scrub for about 1 min and then I leave it on my face 10min as a mask. When I remove it my face is so smooth and it looks healty whith a super glow. Absolutely love it!

This is a great scrub. The grains are nice and small without being irritating. I used this in the shower and started using it on my stretch marks. I was thrilled that i saw an improvement!

The best peeling ever. I love this. The little grains do not disappear as you scrub, so you can just scrub for as long as you like without having to reapply any more product. It smells really nice, and the product will last a long time. I will buy this again when I run out of it.

I really like this scrub. Use to have it in the shower and use it in my face and upper back.
Is quite expensive, thats the only reason i wont buy it again.

I absolutely love this product! Its so gentle, and it leaves the skin with a glow a couple of days after using its. It also makes the skin so smooth, you cannot imagine.

I cant say if it has affected my skin acne-wise, but it certainly doesn't make it worse.
I have used this for 1,5 years, 2 times a week, and its still a lot left in the bottle. I think a bottle lasts for about 2 years! I will definitely buy a new one, when the one i have now is empty!

This is no doubt my HG scrub. It leaves my skin babysoft! I use this mostly for my face, it's too expencieve for a body scrub. But for a face scrub I have no complaints about the price at all, I need just a tiny bit and the bottle is big, so it will last a really, really long time.
It leaves my skin a bit red, so I use it just in the evening 1 - 2 times a week. Then I wake up with super soft and smooth skin. Will buy again!

Although this is expensive, it last for a very, very long time. I bought mine almost two years ago, and still have some left. This is a super scrub, which I use both on my body and my face. It leaves my skin soft, just like a baby!! I leave it on for ten minutes (in the shower), then i add some water and scrub it gently, then I wash it off. You can feel the skin is improved right away! I will never live without this scrub!!

This is my HG face scrub! It leaves my skin soft and glowing after use, and a little goes a long way. The scrub is very fine, so it is good for sensitive skin. I just gently massage it on my face and neck in the shower before washing off. I use it every 2-3 days. It is expensive (about 26 pounds), but you get a lot of products and it lasts ages. I have never used anything like this scrub before and this is my favourite by far! Will keep repurchasing for ever!

I love, love this stuff. If you have dry skin, clogged pores or eneven skintone than you got to try this product. It really works. I also use it on my legs and arms. Perfect! A little goes a long way too.

This is a great product and although expensive it really does do more than just a plain exfoliating scrub or a rub down with a good body wash and my Body Shop scrubby gloves which is my usual routine.
I use this about twice a week in the summer on legs and arms. I haven't been using on my face or chest area as I use retin A and an AHA cream there so this would be overkill for me.
What I can say is that my arms and legs not only feel super-smooth and soft after using this but I have seen an overall improvement in skin texture after a few weeks of regular use, my skin just looks more dense and firm - like I've just applied a moisturiser (when I haven't).
I use this by applying first to dry skin then slowly adding water by weting my palms and massaging - I'll do this for a few mins then rinse in the shower.
Another added bonus is close clean leg shave with no bumpy bits afterwards and immaculate self-tan application.
I intend to use this only in the summer months when my arms and legs are on display but have to admit that if I see a reversal in the skin improvement then I may become a year-round devotee.
If nothing else treat yourself for a few weeks before a holiday.
