I really like how my skin looks after using this. Nice and fresh and glowy. I only wish the particles in it wear round because I worry that they are scratching my skin. The texture is goopy, but glides on the skin. I think it works best when you put it on scrub for a few seconds then let it sit on like a mask.

I really like this exfoliator. It doesn't leave my skin greasy and it's very gentle. I could see a difference with my first application. The smell is a little stong but I'll get over it, very fruity but overall a good product.

This is currently my favorite scrub.
It's gentler than the scrub-of-my-youth, the St Ives peach & apricot, and also a little pricier.
I wish it was in a tube, rather than a jar, as it makes it difficult to exfoliate in the shower. I usually stick my arms outside the shower curtain to open the jar, to keep this stuff out of the shower spray.
Nice texture, pleasant scent, and oh, what it does for your skin tone! After about a month, I started getting compliments on my skin, and kept hearing the word "glowing"!
I've read that papaya is fantastic for your skin, and I improved my skin condition by taking papaya supplements, as well as using this scrub.

This is my absolute fav exfoliator for now. I was able to get this baby for only $12 since I got a $10 coupon for my birthday for being on the Origins store's mailing list. And for $10, this stuff is AWESOME! I really believe that there is no way I will have to repurchase this until my next bday since a little goes a long way! I had discovered this product when a friend of mine gave me a little trial pack of Origins stuff for Xmas years ago. The tiny jar of Never a Dull Moment lasted me three months!!! The best part is, there are fruit enzymes in the scrub (the texture is kinda thick and rich... like the filling of a fig newton) and you don't even HAVE to use it to scrub your face to get exfoliation! I only scrub it in in my T-zone, and let a thin layer sit on the rest of my face while I continue with my shower routine. When I wash it off and moisturize... WOW, my skin is glowing and so smooth and soft. I get this really great clean and fresh feeling, as if my skin is finally able to breathe! The only con to this product is the packaging. It comes is a huge jar, which is great, but it might be more convenient for ppl who like to use things in the shower if it was in a squeeze tube, etc.
But who cares? :) It works wonders! :)

it's a nice scrub that isnt real abrasive. It did leave my skin smooth, but i wouldnt buy it again. I cant see myself coughing up the money for this when i can find cheaper. Although it is nice if you wanna splurge a little on yourself and on something nice.

Origins Never a Dull Moment Scrub works exceptionally well at removing dead skin cells. My skin is noticably clearer and has a radient look. No complaints, it does everything I could ever want. I *thought* it was my holy grail scrub, but in effort to save money, I recently purchased St. Ive's Apricot Scrub and I feel that it does the same job Never a Dull Moment does for a ton cheaper. Overall this is a great scrub but there may be other options out there.

When I went in to buy Night-A-Mins, the salesperson talked me into getting this kit that also contained Never a Dull Moment scrub along with some other products, and since it was barely more expensive than just the Night-A-Mins, I got it. This scrub is OK. I don't like the smell or the fact that you can't use it in the shower because you have to scoop it out of a jar, but it is nice that it seems to leave a moisturizing residue on your skin. I'd never buy this, though. Queen Helene Mint Scrub is much better, and MUCH cheaper.

This is great! It really brightens up my complexion and makes my skin feel soft and looking really nice. I love it because it doesn't dry out my skin.

The gel base combined with the scrubbing grains, really does a great job of polishing your skin. And the smell if absolutely heavenly!
I don't care for the container--a screw on jar. You have to put your fingers in and scoop some onto your hands. This can not only get messy, but if you're like me and like to scrub in the shower, it is very difficult not to get water in the container!
I experience no break outs, but I think the Dermalogica Microfoliant is a better product, and lasts far longer than the Never A Dull Moment Scrub.

my staple! enough said =p It's the best product in origins to me!
[Packaging]
in a large tub but wish it is in a squeeze plastic tube with a hard plastic snap on cap like most of origins products
[Quality]
Unlike other swappers, i do not find the grains too harsh on my face. In fact i think it's the right texture. Maybe it's bcuz i do not use alot of the scrub at a time. I use about a 1-2 pea size each time. Love the refreshing natural scent, very good "touch" by Origins! Skin feels all soft & smooth after use and love it totally with long term usage.
[Overall]
though it's kinda costly at SGD45 but it's a reasonable amt at 125ml. Just watch how much ur using and it's worth the $$$ as it can lasts u quite some time. Definitely a good buy, will reco to all. If ur lucky, u can get it cheaper thru origins rare promotions (they hardly hv any promotions)

I got this in a promo value set and thus it worked out cheaper than the normal retail price. Unfortunately I had to give this away coz I broke out in rashes after using. Wanted to like this but I still prefer Dermalogica's Daily Microexfoliant. NADM is too harsh on sensitive skin. It literally tears the skin cause I can feel the scrub grains pulling and tugging my skin tho I try to massage very gently. Definitely not worth a try for those with very sensitive complexions.

I'm the type that tends to do a lot of damage to my skin when using a scrub by scrubbing too hard (heck, no pain no gain, I'd use sandpaper if I could). I did a lot of damage to my skin after using Clinique's exfoliating scrub and was shopping around for something more gentler.
After hearing so many great things about this scrub, I decided to give it a go. This scrub is really gentle on your skin and you;re supposed to leave it on for 5 minutes after scrubbing (for the fruit enzymes to work, I think).
The texture is thick to the point of being almost gooey. The scrub particles are small and not harsh. Has a pleasent fruity smell.
After washing it off, I was left with glowing, soft skin. This stuff really works!
Con: Packaging. This stuff comes in a large, flat jar and after prolonged usage, water is bound to get into the jar, making it messier than it alreayd is. Plus the packing makes it really hard to use in the shower (imagine unscrewing the lid, digging out a chunk with your wet fingers then trying to close the lid back on again). Is it that hard to package it in a tube?

Pros: Leaves my skin as smooth as a baby's bottom and even seems to get rid of some pesky blackheads on my nose. Smells like honey.
Cons: Is goopy and sticky. May be a little harsh for sensitive or thin skin.

An okay scrub. A little harsh on my skin though, I still prefer scrubs with microbeads rather than grinded fruit. I think it may have caused my skin to break out, but I'm not completely sure because I started another new product at the same time.

The texture of this scrub is really thick. I dampen my face first, then put bits on forehead, cheeks, and chin. Then I message and spread it all over for about a minute, and wash it off. It makes my skin really soft and glowing! I love this, but NOT the packaging.

I really enjoyed the sweet honey scent of this product. Problem is, that is where the love affair ended. I'm not much for enzyme exfoliants as I they take me from happy skin to peeling nightmare before I can blink an eye. I use AHAs, BHAs and manual exfoliants that would scrub most people raw, but, I just can't seem to handle those darn enzymes. I also agree that many enzyme exfoliants have a rather disconcerting, slimey texture, usually accompanied by 6 sorry little grains which someone somewhere thought would work for extra manual exfoliation. Never a Dull Moment in not my idea of a scrub, in either the chemical or physical sense of the word.

I really like this as a scrub. I only use it 1-2 times a week and it smells decent and is not nearly abrasive as some scrubs I've used before. The only problem is that it comes in a tub and it's too much to fool with in the shower. If they put it in a tube, I would give this a 5 star rating.

Great scrub, not too harsh but does the job effectively and leaves my skin glowing. The smell takes some getting used to as does the thick texture of the scrub.

I absolutely loved the smell of this, and it seemed like a good scrub to try (since I had been looking for one). I had heard great things about this, so was really looking forward to using it. The first time I used it, it made my skin really smooth and nice, so I kept using it. After a few more times though, it seemed to irritate my skin. Got a small rash on my cheek from it (I think?) and broke out from it. :( Though it smells divine, was not the scrub for me. One other thing I didn't like about it was the packaging. I used a small plastic scoop to get it out, but it's hard to not get water into the container while in the shower :/.
