LOVE this scrub. the particles are the perfect size and it's really non-irritating on my sensitive skin. I use this a couple times a week along with all the other products in the Alba "sea" line...

Reading all these great reviews, I expected a great scrub. What I got was a very mediocre one. This leaves flakes of skin all over my oily face. Maybe I got a dud tube? With all the hype, I thought...

Waw, I didn't know a scrub could be so fine yet so effective. I'm in love. The smell is lovely, scrubs well and doesn't overdry my face, even in winter. I'm hooked.

An effective and gentle exfoliator. Not as effective as my beloved Sisley exfoliator, but a quarter the price. Lovely, fresh scent. Who says good has to be expensive?

this scrub seems just right - not too gentle, not too harsh.

This scrub is amazing. I have very sensitive skin, and I can use this every day as long as I moisturize (with Jojoba oil). It leaves my skin incredibly soft. Will definitely be buying again.

This was too harsh for my acne prone skin, but my mother used it and it worked really well on her. So I would recommend this for normal skin only, not for anyone with sensitive skin.

This is a pretty nice scrub. I am looking for an extra-extra gentle scrub. This doesn't quite fit the bill. The numerous scrubbing particles are small, but as aserobins notes in her review, they...

I like this scrub very much. At first I thought the particles were going to be too small to really exfoliate my thick skin, but I was wrong. My oily skin does not naturally shed skin cells as...

I so wanted to love this but can't say I did. It stung my dry sensitive skin and somehow seemed to make it more dry. Gave it to my neighbor who adores it. :-(

This is a gentle scrub that doesn't irritate my persnickety skin. The scent is pleasant, and my skin feels soft and moist afterward.

Compared to other facial scrubs I have used, this has some of the smallest grains. However, the individual, little grains seem more jagged -if that makes sense. By comparison, the Aveno facial...

Works well and leaves the skin oh-so-soft. Gentle tiny exfoliating grains that hardly feel like you're smoothing your skin at all, but they end up working much more effectively than larger grains....
