Completely dissapointed.

The term "Scrub" in its name is really misleading. One would think you can actually use this product to scrub your face! When you rub it between your hands and apply it to your checks, you can actually count the number of particles/scrubbers on your face. I felt about 3 on one cheeck and 4-5 on the other. The consistency is this glossy white liquid that is somewhat thick which makes it difficult to aptly massage your face with the scrub.

On top of all this, it dried out my face.

If you want a similar organic scrub, try pangea organics (the one with the azuki beans).

I have had six (large) sample sachets of this product.

While it really doesn't cut it as a scrub (the granules are too few and far between to effectively exfoliate) it is GREAT as a mask.

I massage it on to damp skin and leave it for 5 minutes, after which my pores appear noticeably smaller.

The consistency is thick and quite luxurious, but a little goes a very long way.

It's a little bit drying, which is why I've only given it a rating of four, but I just make sure I moisturise well afterwards.

I will definitely buy this product when I have run out of my samples.

Huh. This is not a scrub at all. In fact it is like a thick, creamy cleanser and I don't really like it at all. It stings my eyes and takes a lot of rinsing to wash off. I have had good luck with BeFine products but I will not repurchase this one.

I have combination oily skin. I was on the hunt for a scrub that has natural ingredients and has spherical beads and not skin scratching granules. I thought this would be a good one. But I was very very disappointed. It consists mostly of cream. It has very very few beads in them. Does not exfoliate at all. I hate it. I bought this from ulta. It cost me $12.99. I will never buy this again. It also leaves my face oily. I use philosophy's hope ion a jar as my moisturizer. Today after using this scrub I put on my moisturizer and my skin feels sticky, which is usually not the case. I love hope in a jar. Its a bit pricey but I have yet not found a cream that works like it. It never leaves my face oily. The bottom line: I hate this scrub. Waste of my money.

I got this scrub on sale for a few dollars, so it was really cheap.

When I first tried it, it had a really nice, mild, fresh citrus smell that I really liked, and the texture was smooth and white.

I liked how it was gentle for my very sensitive skin and didn't irritate it.
After using the scrub, it felt nice and clean : D

However, there was BARELY any micro-beads - there were probably like, 4 micro-beads per dime-sized squirt of the scrub. That was very disappointing : (

Overall, I liked how it wasn't irritating, it was pretty moisturizing, I felt a small difference in my skin, and it smelled really fresh and nice.
I didn't like how there were so little micro-beads - what's the point of a scrub when there's nothing to exfoliate with? And on top of that, the packaging is very fooling - the box is a lot larger, while the scrub is not as big as I thought it would be. I would recommend this, but if it's not on sale I most definitely won't get this again.
3/5 ~

I think I felt a grand total of five scrubbing granules in my entire sample packet of alleged "scrub," and the base was weirdly oily and never seemed to want to wash off no matter how hard I tried. Do not want. PS. My pores looked no more refined than before.

Ingredients: water (aqua), sodium cocoyl isethionate, TEA lauryl sulfate, stearic acid, acrylates/vinyl neodecanoate crosspolymer, stearamidopropyl dimethylamine, glycol distearate, Ceteth-2, glyceryl stearate, PEG-100 stearate, cetyl alcohol, cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) oil, citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) oil, hydrogenated jojoba oil, hydrogenated castor oil, sodium hydroxide, polysorbate 20, phenoxethanol, caprylyl glycol, potassium sorbate, hexylene glycol.

My Review: The scrub is pearlescent in color - you can see the jojoba beads, though they are lacking in quantity. It smells more like citrus than coconut. I used this in the morning, and after transferring it into a small jar (bought a sample size in a pouch), dipped my index finger to cover the tip. I lathered it in my hands before applying to my face in a circular motion. The scrub is pretty gentle, but the jojoba beads do an effective job of lightly exfoliating the skin. It washes off easily, and my skin felt refreshed. Even after a week of using this, I haven't seen too much of a difference in the appearance of my pores. It's a nice product overall, and works well as a gentle scrub for everyday use.
