Got a sample of this as a sample, but would never buy it. My skin felt a bit better, but I can get the same results from St Ives invigorating apricot scrub at a fraction of the cost. Just another...

I just walked out of the bathroom after using this for the first time. It might be early, but using this with Idealist, my skin feels baby soft, ultra clean, and not tight at all. It's thermally...

This scrub left my skin feeling ever so soft and clean! I was breaking out like crazy, and had bumps all over my face that turned into horribly painful acne the past few months. Even a trip to the...

I liked the heating properties of this scrub but I couldn't tell if it was making a difference since the rest of the skincare line was breaking me out with cystic acne. Update: i find my skin...

Actually this is on my list for my next "spoil myself" shopping trip. I got a sample of this and I'm amazed. It really draws out impurities like crazy (must.resist.to.pick.at.spots) and the skin is...

Water activates this scrub to heat up nicely. Price is not bad considering the amount of product and the fact that you only use it twice a week. Not so great for sensitive skin though, you can...

Loved this product. It's thermally activated so it is suppose to warm up on your skin, that means it's working. I wouldn't use more than once a week tho. As I understood it, this product is suppose...

"OUCH-OUCH-BURNING!" I believe were the words I uttered during my first encounter w/ this scrub. This stuff just CAN'T be good for your skin. Took it back to Lauder immediately. No questions...

Ok, I'm Estee Lauder skin care products fan, but this one I guess It wasn't for me. It's too strong and irritable! However It does live the skin smooth and clean after all.

I generally like Estee Lauder products and really like idealist and this sounded promising. It really doesn't do anything for me one way or another. To me, it wasn't worth the high price tag. I...

Way too abrasive for my dry/roseaca prone skin. I do get flaky patches that need exfoliation, but this one is just so damaging. I'll use the rest of the tube on my elbows & feet.

Idealist is one of my HGs - I've used it everyday since it came out, and my skin loves it. But I'm not as impressed by this scrub. It didn't heat up as much as I thought it would, and the scrub...
