I liked this--but I like all scrubs!! I love the minty smell and the gritty texture of the scrub! It's a really good exfoliator!!

I really like this! It smells pleasant, and isn't too harsh, as long as I just put it on my face, and don't really rub. I feel like my skin is smooth and clean afterwards.

I normally do not have the best luck with Origins, but this is actually a very nice scrub. I originally bought it because I was looking for a less abrasive/gritty alternative to the St. Ive's apricot scrub, and I will admit that at first I didn't think this scrub was doing anything. After consistent use, though, I noticed my skin did appear to be much clearer and brighter. Did not repurchase when it ran out, but am considering it now!

Great product. I like how the papaya seeds are tiny enough and smooth enough to not scratch my skin. My skin always feels so soft when I use this!

Description: A sappy/scrubby mixture that I allow to sit on my face for 10 minutes or so after the physical scrubbing to allow the enzymes to work chemically (during the rest of my shower).
What I love: The scent - it is slightly piney. The texture - just the right amount of scrubby and I like the goopy part too, reminds me of honey. The packaging - looks pretty in my shower. And the effects! - Sure, people have noticed my skin before, but not three in one day, including a particularly oblivious man!
The Downside: Don't let it come near sensitive skin. The lady in the store told me they have a different scrub for that.

This has an odd smell - it's not really enjoyable. At first I thought it would make a good scrub - it seemed to really take off the flakes. After a few weeks of use my face kept itching and breaking out. I think some times Origins has too natural ingredients - plus this product contains pine in it, which I am allergic to. There are so many other better scrubs to use that are gentler that I don't recommend buying it again if you have any type of sensitive skin.

The smell of this product is sweet from the fruit enzymes. It isn't really grainy and doesn't scratch my face like most scrubs tend to do. It washes away clean.

I test drove this for about a month and was pleased to notice that the usual redness I get on my face subsided. But after awhile my face started breaking out and I kept using it hoping that it was cleaning out my pores but the blemishes just wouldn't clear up. I had to go back to my old standby, St Ives Medicated Scrub, and my face has since cleared up. I guess it just wasn't scrubby enough. Oh well, I'd rather have some redness than a face full of acne.

TOO gentle, even on my super sensitive skin. Left a film, no exfoliation. Open jar container lets way too much water in, too.

Smells great. I use about once a week. Works great if you put on face and let sit for a minute before rinsing. Love it!

NADM contains walnut shell powder, mango seeds & crushed abricot kernels as manual exfoliating agents as well as papaya enzymes to help loosen the dead skin cells. it works best when left on as a masl for a couple of minutes before scrubbing. my skin feels amazingly soft after using this, the scrubbing particles seem to be round in order not to damage the skin, and the smell is really nice. another staple.

I like this scrub very much. It has just the right amount of "scrubbiness" to be effective without being too harsh. I also like the smell, and I usually leave it on as a facial mask for a few minutes. It has made my face temporarily red a few times though, so if your skin is very sensitive - skip this.

I dont think theres enough particles in this to make it work well enough. A higher concentration of them would be way better. Its nice because it wont dry your skin out, but theres some way more effective ones, like Astara's daily refining scrub.

Lovely scrub that isn't too harsh to use every morning in the shower. The consistency takes a little getting used to, but once you start you'll get totally hooked. My skin feels so soft afterwards!

This is a top of the line exfoliater. The smell is a little harsh, very spoiled fruit scented. But once you get past that, this scrub leaves your skin super soft. Did not cause any breakouts for me but I have heard that it does to some. The jar is another problem with this product, a tube would be easier, jar is slick and a pain to open in the shower. However, despite the down side, this is an excellent scrub. I only use it once a week, but love the way my skin feels and looks when I use it.

Pretty good scrub that I find too abrasive for my skin. It has papaya enzymes to exfoliate even without rubbing and is a dual action face scrub. the particles however are too large and gritty for my taste. Smells juicy and wonderful.

When I first tried it, it looks and smell kindof goey, but I find that it's effective and I'm beginning to like the smell. I use it during shower so rinsing off is no problem to me. The packaging's alright, no complaints since this stuff really works- my skin has this "glow" which i really like. Will definitly buy again!

I really love this stuff. When I first tried it I didn't think it was working because it didn't scrape the crap out of my skin, but when I washed it off I was very happy with the results. It leaves my skin soft and glowing. It smells delish also.
