I have been using it daily and faithfully for the last 3 years now and i am very satisfied. It really cleared my skin completely and even my monthly break outs are gone. The age spots and the sun spots have faded dramatically (i saw the first results after just one month's use), my skin feels so soft after every use, everything applied on my skin afterwards is so easily and completely absorbed and i can really tell that it is a very good product when i am away and leave this back at home in order to travel light. Just 3 or 4 days in a row without using it and i can see my skin losing its freshness. I am only giving it 4 stars because after 3 years using it i feel as if i am bored with it, but i do not dare change it with anything else!

I didn’t think it was too bad. I liked that the granules are actually smaller than the typical scrubs you get so that the product didn’t seem too coarse. However, I prefer Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant as a more gentle scrub (trying to treat my skin more gently after years of harsh abuse) so will not re-purchase.

I have been using the toner and liquid wash and my skin was o.k. , Still would have break-outs. After using this scrub every morning...Wow my skin has cleared up and doesn't look ashy or dull anymore.

This is my favorite Clinique skincare product because it's gentle enough to use daily. But I started off using it once a week then gradually building up to daily use. The beads are extremely fine and don't melt into your face, just gently scrubbing off the dead skin. I usually follow with Clinique's 3-Step program and it has worked wonders. I don't have sensitive skin so this doesn't irritate me and the formula is creamier so it works on dry skin as well. It also lasts a long time because a little goes a long way!

While I did like the size and feel of the granules in this scrub, after I rinsed there was a terrible waxy residue left behind! I understand that this scrub is supposed to leave skin moisturizes, but I could literally scrape the waxy residue off with my nail. YUK! I had to rewash my face, then rescrub with sugar before my face felt clean again. Thumbs way down. Maybe I got a bad batch?

Very nice product especial for dryer skins.It's a cream-oil based scrub very gentle.Doesn't irritate my skin and cleans well enough.Leaves skin soft and smooth.For my oily skin It's not the best choice but still does a good job.I found It very similar with dior's grains de magie.If you prefer a strong clarifying scrub then this is not for you

It does what it promise. I love this scrub it if it weren't for the price it would be a staple in facial cleansing cabinet. It doesn't overdry neither it leaves a weird feeling that it hasn't done is job. After using it daily for a week I notice an improvement on my skin's regarding the white heads and blackheads and a reduction of the pimples. My only poobuhuju is the price even before a month I had to buy a new one so I stop until I get a steady job. Otherwise is a keeper!!

I have sensitive skin and find most scrubs are too granule-y and abrasive, like sandpaper. This stuff is perfection! It has a LOT of beads so it actually WORKS but the beads are very smooth and rounded and the cream part isnt too drying. I keep buying this everytime I run out. HG scrub.

I use this scrub once a week on my extremely sensitive skin, and it isn't too harsh. A lot of people could use this more often than once a week, but I don't want to push it. It works well to slough off the dead skin and make my skin feel more refreshed.

i actually really like this scrub. i bought it a couple of winters back when i was combatting dry, dull and flaky skin. (i went to school where the climate is super dry and cold during winter time) it worked great to rid my dry flakes. after moving back to SF, it got stashed in my goodies drawer and forgot all about it. i stumbled across it the other day while cleaning and decided to give it another try. needless to say, i fell in love again. <3 it completely got rid of all my blackheads and all the little bumps on my chin went away. yay.. what more can a girl ask for? i'm pretty sure that there's another scrub out there that's cheaper and just as effective (it's a pretty standard scrub), but until i find it, i'm sticking to this.

I really like this product. I scrub gently and follow up with the Foaming Cleanser and Moisturizer. You absolutely must wash your face after using this product. I think it is great for dry skin.

UPDATE (2012-02-17): BOYCOTTING RE. CURRENT ANIMAL TESTING FOR CHINESE MARKET

Not good. Execrable on face, just about acceptable on body. Irritation, blotchiness, swelling, break-out. Luckily I caught it fast, soothed it a lot, and it went down in a few hours. Same with othe facial scrubs I've tried, Clinique and otherwise. Fortunately this was a GWP and could be thrown away.

Not as good as fine sugar mixed with usual facial cleanser - that remains the only facial scrub that's worked for me.

OK on body, though; and like other Clinique stuff, a generously-sized GWP, non-fragranced, and sensible squeezy tube.

I'm generally not a fan of Clinique's skin care line, but the 7 Day Scrub Cream exceeded my expectations. My skin isn't sensitive and I can tolerate a lot of exfoliation, so for me this works well as a daily scrub, combined with bi-weekly peels or microderm treatments. The granules are fine and quite gentle, the scent isn't offensive and it doesn't cause my skin to break out or become dry. It's not a favorite, but is good enough to repurchase.

I use a lot of mineral and powder foundations and this has become my regular prep for making my makeup look smooth.It feels a bit oily at first,but does rinse clean.I like how gentle it is on my skin.

Awful Awful Awful. I used this product 4 times before i returned it to get my money back. I had the tester and used it once and awhile and it was ok, so i decided to buy the full bottle, bad idea! After 4 uses, my face was red and broke out all over(it was like i had acne all my life... though i only usually got as pimple or 2 here and there). It took a week use of cortisone to calm my face down. :( I will never use this product ever again!

I love this scrub! I first got this as a GWP and wasn't expecting much from it. However, it really makes me skin feel cleaner, smoother and does not strip the skin of moisture!!! I used to have a lot of clogged pores, white heads and black heads around the nose region but since I've started on this, they have reduced in amount drastically.

I took 1 lippie off cause if I forget to use it once a week, the problems start returning. But still a very good scrub which I will not hesitate to repurchase.

great scrub, doesn't irritate my skin at all, even though it's relatively sensitive. i love that it's fragrance free, unlike many other scrubs.

This is a nice product that I received as a gift with purchase. I will not buy because I wasn't WOW'd by it. It didn't leave the skin dry at all after use. The exfoiliation was nice and fine, but somehow not enough. I didn't dislike it and my skin tolerated it fine.

I use this at night for radiant skin in the morning. This scrub leaves my naturally oily skin soft and smooth. The moisturizers are not too much for me. I believe that it gives you the option of wiping off, or rinsing off...I always rinse, it would be too much the other way. Anyways, great product!

I remember having tried this in highschool and thinking, "OMG it's waaaaayyy too oily! Yuck!" But about 15 years later ( yes, I'm nearly in my 30s) I got a mini one from a GWP and fell in love with it. It's good for those who have moderately dry skin and want to rinse off the scrub with 'something' left behind. It will not strip your skin of moisture because it is very rich in consistency and the granules to cream ratio is perfect, in my opinion. I hate scrubs where you can see each scrubber...they hardly do anything!
EDIT: I stumbled across another scrub by Rachel Perry at the Winners and found their peach papaya scrub to be just as good, ig not better. Now, my poor green Clinique tube sits untouched in my bathroom window ledge. I am sure I will go back to it one day, but for now, it's Rachel Perry all the way because it leaves you with a much 'cleaner' feeling.
