My rating say it all. I notice my face looks more cleaner and smoother in every angle and lighting. I am on my 6th bottle! Don't even get me started with the smell... obsessed!

I love this product. Seriously the best scrub I have bought so far (I haven't bought many since they come in large amounts but anyway, this scrub is awesome.) At first I didn't really notice much different beside my skin being softer and less oily straight after using it (which is usual for a scrub) but after learning how to use the product best (using your fingertips to exfoliate for a few minutes and then using a good moisturiser to stop dirt filling pores) my spots are nowhere to been seen, barely any blemish left and my blackheads are pretty much completely gone. No product has ever been able to get rid of my blackheads for so long and so completely inexpensive as well! However since my skin type is combination/oily and it has worked well, I really would not recommend this to people who have dry or sensitive skin as it will most likely be too harsh-those with that skin type should look for cream scrubs like biore's deep pore cleansing scrub which I have tried and did keep my skin clear for a while.

This broke me out. My skin is generally clear (I had really bad acne in middle school but I've been almost completely clear for two years) and not sensitive at all and it still broke me out! If you swear by this product, Up&Up (the Target brand) Makes a great dupe of this for about a dollar cheaper and Biore has an AMAZING scrub that I definitely reccommend. I wouldn't buy this product again and I wouldn't reccommend it to anyone.

I got the travel size of this, even though I have heard good things, because I never tried this stuff until now. I think this scrub is great, only if I use it 3 times a week. I love the smell, and how abrasive it is. I feel like I am really exfoliating my skin. But when I started to use this every day, my cheek area near the sides of my mouth started to get dry. I don't know if that's normal if someone exfoliates everyday. So I'll only use this only every other day. I already used half of it, so I might get a new one. Overall, good product!

I was a bit hesitant on using this scrub because of some of the negative reviews about how harsh it is but i went a head and steamed my face, started to rub it on my face and it kinda felt like rubbing sand on your face and i was thinking my skin might hate me for this but i washed it off and WOW my skin felt soo soft and fantastic.. I wouldn't scrub hard with this one but slow gentle scrubbing..
Would i use it all the time? No. Just every now and then. Will i buy again? Yes.

I really love the way it makes my skin feel, like a babys bottom. SO SMOOTH! It doesn't irritate or strip me of moisture, and it helps with acne but I think I'll try the blemish fighting one next time, because I want something even stronger. It works really well as a scrub, twice a week at night. The first time I used it I was in awe, I kept touching my soft face. The packaging is good too, because they offer it in a tub or a flip cap on the bottom side. The consistency is good too, not oily, but thick. I like to use it as a body scrub once a week or so, it makes you feel so soft.

Edit. This stuff is terrible. I used it on my cheeks to help unclog pores and my cheeks were bleeding. BLEEDING. I almost cried. Do not buy this, there are better scrubs out there please listen to me. It's a body scrub now.

BADBADBADBAD!

I have acne-prone, oily, sensitive skin. lots of acne scarring.
My skin HATED this stuff.
The exfoliating shells are uneven and scratch ur face and already-sensitive acne.
I dreaded the thought of washing my face with this stuff.
My skin broke out horribly with cystic acne and the acne i already had became angry and red, or were bloody after being uprooted. my skin actually ached for a whole week until i decided to stop using it.
the day after i stopped using this product, my skin improved dramatically.

will NEVER BUY AGAIN!

I don't think this product is very invigorating at all. Maybe it's just because my skin isn't sensitive at all and very used to a stronger exfoliation. So if you have very tough built skin like mine its a no go!

This is a great product to use a few times a week to exfoliate your skin. It makes your face feel really smooth. You only need, and should use a *little bit*. By that I mean like a pea sized amount. Any more would be overkill and might irritate your skin. The smell is pleasant and doesn't smell like you're using a lot of chemicals. The price is really low. Definitely worth your money.

Invigorating is right, this really leaves the face feeling refreshed! This is my HG scrub for my combo skin. Highly recommend.

This product smells good and I only paid $1 for the little sample bottle!! Although it's oil free, I find it's very harsh on my face. I am very careful with this product on my skin as it's really abrasive so I take my time. I like to use it more as a body scrub. I also think it broke out my face a little bit so I only use it about once or twice a week! The particles in this product can do some harm to your face, as it's basically tearing it apart : / body scrub for sure !!

Its okay, but its a bit harsh, I don't think my delicate face skin needs this much sandpapery abrasion. Smells ok and didn't make me break out but its kind of just painful.

I love this product for many reasons: first of all-it is SO affordable! Secondly-it has a very nice texture and leave my skin feeling so clean.
It has also really helped my little whiteheads and blackheads.
Wonderful exfoliator; just be gentle and only use a little bit.

I also like using it on the rest of my body.

Recommend highly if you don't have sensitive skin.

After using Benefit's Honey Scrub for years, I wanted to come back to this one, which I used as a teenager.
Since my skin is oilier and more acne prone, I bought the oil free version. This scrub is amazing for the little price. Right after using this once, my skin is noticeably cleaner and smooth. This is really great for oily and acne prone skin because it's oil free and won't clog your pores.
One point less because it might be too harsh to use it every day, plus this might not be ideal for sensitive skin.
Otherwise, it's a great scrub.
UPDATE: Now I am using this every second day, and the irritation is gone, but my skin got smoother. That means 5 lippies for this product because it is much better than many expensive scrubs and it does what it says.

I can't believe I've yet to write a review for this. This is the darlingest scrub ever! Yes, it is somewhat harsh, but I could probably wash my face with rocks and not get a reaction. I actually love the harshness. Just don't wash you face with it every day and your skin won't become overly sensitised. This scrub clears out any blackheads and whiteheads and leaves me glowing. My skin looks great after a scrub, and much less oily. It's also a great body scrub for the arms and legs. It's not quite abrasive enough for knees and ankles.

I finally broke down and bought this, wow!!!!! I'm sorry i didn't buy it sooner. I had very few "active" pimples, just some red marks and my skin texture was still a bit uneven and dry patches were driving me nuts. I have to say after only a week my skin is so much smoother and the red marks are fading. Great stuff and an HG for me!
