I really like this scrub. I have sensitive/dry skin and still prefer this scrub over some of the more mild ones I've tried, such as Aveeno's Skin Brightening Daily Scrub. It really feels like it's exfoliating and it leaves my face feeling very refreshed. Although it is grainier than some other scrubs, it isn't particularly rough -- just scrub gently and follow with moisturizer. Definitely a must have for any skin type, and so incredibly affordable!

I've been using this scrub for about 13 years and love it. I've tried a few others over the years but they never stand up to this one. It's thick but not too thick and the grains really do their job. I don't feel like exfoliants with the rounded beads in them always do the most thorough job at getting your face smooth. I use this stuff about twice a week, and also on my neck and upper chest about once a week. It rinses clean, leaves my skin as smooth as can be, and helps reduce breakouts and blackheads. I have learned a trick over the years of using this: it works MUCH better with the steam in your shower. I wash my face, then rub this stuff on and let it sit for a couple minutes while I shave my legs and stuff, then rinse. Maybe the salicylic acid has more time to work or something, IDK, but I notice that my skin is much smoother and softer using it this way vs. just rinsing it right off. Overall, my HG scrub and one I will always repurchase.

i bought this product as an exfoliater and i would say it worked rather well. i like the way the product feels on my skin and it has a pleasant smell too! the only downside is that it didn't really help to clear up the blemishes on my face.

This product seemed to work at first. I absolutely love the way it feels as you scrub your skin because of the little grains in it. It leaves your skin feeling clean, but the point of this product is to clear your skin and it doesnt. It broke my skin out. It dried my skin out A LOT. I would not reccomend this product because of the results after a few days.

I've used this for a month and the outlook is bleak. It actually seems to give me more breakouts than just plain old soap and water would, so that sucks. It does feel really nice to use though, and doesn't leave me dry or irritated. Just doesn't help in the blemish control department as well as it should.

This scrub is a creamy, with a combination of sandy chunks in it for exfoliation. This works very well on my skin, containing 1% salicylic acid to help control my oily, troubled skin.

This can be quite a harsh mechanical exfoliator - it feels a bit like wet sand, so be sure to use it carefully! I only use this once every two or 3 days, and it leaves my skin feeling quite soft afterwards. It eliminates blackheads and dead skin very well!

I've tried many many scrubs over the years, the latest being a Nuxe one that cost me 30$ and honestly i don't understand why i do that. For 7$CA i get the best scrub on the market. Someone should pound me on the head everytime i wanna try out something else....
I exfoliate 2-3 times a week, i have combination/oily skin and the occasional pimple. It takes care of everything and makes my skin smooth, even, glowing.
Really, you cannot go wrong.

I've been using this product for several years now and I love it. I use it on my face and neck everyday. It exfoliates well, eliminates blackheads and helps to clear my pores. Occasionally I will mix it with my Acne Free face wash to boost the effects, and the combination does wonders for my oily, acne prone skin.

I absolutely love this scrub!! I tried it for the first time a few years ago with a sample...and fell in love with it. For the past year or so i have been repurchasing it and i use it every night in the shower. I have combination skin, with a few minor breakouts constantly, so it mqy seem a bit harsh, but i think it works wonderfully. If i dont take a shower one night, i wont use this, because i think the steam from the shower helps it work better...but i deffinetily will repurchase, as i am currently on my 4th tube!!
