Good gentle exfoliator in a gel. For the price you can find a cheaper substitution. It does an okay job but is gentle.

I've been using this exfoliant on my acne prone and oily skin for years. I absolutely love it! It leaves my face feeling smooth, and it doesn't cause breakouts since it's oil free. I've tried a few exfoliants from the drug store and they always cause me to break out. I'd rather spend a bit more money for this great product.

Lancome Pure Focus Exfoliator (3.4 fl oz for $25 usd) is a face scrub for a combination to oily skin type. The scrub comes in the medium sized green beams to deeply clean the pores and remove oils. This smells fresh and clean of an ocean scent. After one application, my face does feel softer and smoother, but many face scrubs do this. It does cleans my pores deeply and removes the oil. But my face has a bad reaction to the product and I had a big break out of pink medium size pimples all over my face. Many other department products do breaks me out so I do not know if this product did the damage. Pure Focus Exfoliator comes in a teal green squeeze tube with a removable lid. Pure Focus might be a good product for people who do not have a sensitive skin and want a face scrub to deeply clean the pores and prevent shine.

I guess I just have no luck with Lancome's products since most of them either fail to work or break me out. This is not a bad scrub, but it's just too harsh for me. My mom and my friend who have normal to oily skin really like it.

Nice basic exfoliator for oily skin. It is comforting to know it is oil free and non comdeogenic even though you rinse it off. it is a gel which is interesting. The smell is refreshing. The tube looks awfully tacky. Bright green with fake soecks that are supposed to resemble the buffing beads. I would expect sleeker packaging from Lancome. It was nice, and I still have some left, but I have stowed it away beacuse it was a bit rough for my sensitive skin. I have purchased my HG exfoliator. There is nothing wrong with this it is a nice heavy duty exfoliator.

Positives;
It doesn't have wussy exfoliating beads, really cleanses without being too rough.
Doesn't seem to make me break out.
Skin feels very refreshed after use.
Lasts a long time for it's size.

Negatives;
Contains dyes to make it that pretty aqua blue color and a whole lotta fragrance.
A bit pricey.
They don't make finding a list of ingredients easy.
All in all, I'm not that crazy about it, but it's not a shabby product at the same time.

I've been using this product two to four times a week for the past six months. For reference, my skin is combination sensitive and acne-prone. I really like this. I bought it when I had a lot of dry skin from an acne product, and I wanted to slough off the dead skin cells. This was oil-free, and I found it at the Lancome outlet for $10. The granules are small and round, so they don't irritate my skin. It feels good, and my skin definitely feels smoother when I am done. I don't think there is anything particularly special about this exfoliator, but I do like it and would repurchase. At regular price, it is a little expensive, but my tube is just about empty after six months of regular use. Not bad.

I love this stuff! I often end up using it daily, I really feel like it does a great job cleaning and exfoliating my face. I've never had an issue with it being too harsh or scratchy and I enjoy using it. I will definitley be repurchasing this product.

Very nice exfoilator. Doing great job in removing dead cells and leaving your skin clean, healthy and matte. But I have impression that it's a bit harsh... Like rubbing sand onto my face... So I rub it really gentle because I'm affraid I'll scratch my skin... Probably it's just my imagination, but I prefer gentle exfoliators

Excellent exfoliant! Especially if you have oily skin! It is great, really 'scrubs' well and removes dead skin cells, leaves skin really smooth and matte. I find it is one of the best I've used. I use it either every day or every other day, my skin can take a lot of exfoliation. I love this scrub!!!

I like this product. It's a lighter exfoliater that I use 3-4 times a week before applying make-up. It provides a smooth surface on my skin. It smells nice and clean also!

As all the others products of this pure focus line PURE FOCUS EXFOLIATOR Its nothing special too.Its way too soft almoste like a regular cleanser.The only reason that I bought this product was the the fact that I THOUGHT It has salicylic acid but after a few days I saw the ingridients and the salicylic acid was almoste the last thing in the list.I couldn t stand it and I gave this scrub to a friend of mine with normal skin and she is using it like regular cleanser every night......

I have only been using this product for a couple of days. I'll update if I need to. At this point I really like this product. My aesthetician strongly suggested that I switch from the St. Ives apricot scrub I have been using to a higher quality exfoliant with smooth beads. She recommended one by Dermalogica but the price was out of this world. So, I bought this product at Sephora. The beads are smooth. It feels so gentle I wasn't sure it was working, but my face is very smooth; so, it must be working. I think the price is fine for the amount of product you get. The packaging is also fine. My only complaint is that it appears to be dyed slightly blue-green. I am fine with white or off-white scrub and I really don't need the extra dye. Other than that, no complaints. Would definitely re-purchase.

I love Pure Focus Exfoliator! What an amazing product...it scrubs away all of the dead skin and leaves me with fresh, soft, clean-feeling skin. The price is reasonable considering how long it lasts me (you use just a little bit a couple of times a week). And it is definitely the best scrub I've ever tried! The particles are small and my skin is not irritated. My mom also loves this and has been using it for more than a year now--she says it's unlike any other scrub she's ever used. Two thumbs way up!

This is an awesome scrub! The microbeads are tiny, smooth, round and firm. They feel like smooth little granules, and they really do a great job of buffing off dry skin and flakes. This scrub deep cleans skin and contains salicylic acid to penetrate into pores and keep them clean and clear. It also contains Zinc Gluconate to help control excess oil production on the skin. This scrub does not have the typical "paste-y" base, instead it has a gel-cleanser base that actually helps to cleanse the skin after exfoliating and buffing away dead skin cells. Lots and lots of microbeads in this scrub too! Love this stuff! 5 lippies! :)
