I've been using this cleanser for about two weeks now and really love it. My face always looks clearer after a chemical peel from the derm, but the results are difficult to keep up over time. This cleanser seems to give me those same results (of course it has taken a few weeks to get to that point rather than 5 minutes in the doctor's office). It is pricey, but worth it. I massage it in and then leave it on for a few minutes to give the AHA/BHA time to work.

I love this scrub. Its a great amount of product for the money, and i love flip top bottles--you don't lose the cap. Its done a great job at loosening up blackheads on my nose and chin. I use it everyday, even though it says only 2-3 times per day, and i haven't seen any irritation or excess dryness.

Great exfoliator, I use this every morning and my skin no longer gets the flaky dry patches I used to have.

I love this product. I love the way it feels. Smells not so bad. It makes my skin feel so good. I think I am going to try and use it more often, I only use like 2-3 times a week. I think I am going to try 4-5. Living in NYC creates huge blackhead problems and this helps a great deal.

I just got a huge bottle of this stuff off ebay after reading about it. I was dissapointed at first that it didnt feel more grainy. But, after my skin felt really smooth. Other products can do the same but Im a skin care snob and think if I dont pay a lot for it, it wont work good. dumb I know :/ oh yeah..dont love the smell

Love it, love it, love it! I have been using it every day and it is very mild on my skin. I have noticed improvement in my skin. It's gentle, but strong. I will definitely buy it again!

After trying a sample, I had to buy the full sized product. This is a GREAT, GrEaT, GReAt exfoliating cleanser! I find if I keep my oily skin very exfoliated, it stays clear and bright...and this is the cleanser to do it. I don't have to scrub hard or long with this, and the AHA/BHA is a bonus. I usually like very natural products, but I'm using this every other day, and it doesn't bother my skin at all...on the contrary, my skin looks radiant and healthy. Yep, this and some Green Cream, and my skin's as good as it's ever going to get.

I love this cleanser! I went to Sephora in search of that "perfect exfoliator" and the SA suggested I use this. Of course, I couldn't wait until I got home to try it out. After cleansing w/ Philosophy Purity, I tried out Murad. To my amazement, it left my face so silky smooth, I couldn't stop touching my face! And my large pores on my nose? GONE! AMAZING! I couldn't believe it! And the great thing about it is you don't need to squirt out a half gallon of it to get results. Only a tiny quarter size usually does the trick for me. It says to use it 2-3 times a week, but for me I use it 4-5 times a week. What girl doesn't want smooth, radiant skin?!?! Would definately purchase again if I run out, but since you only need a little bit, this tube will probably last about 8 months. Great stuff!!! ps. And the smell isn't bad either.. to me it smells kinda like....tequila? Dunno. Maybe that's why I am so addicted??

Very effective scrub that I can use daily, keeps my acne in check, and my face radiant and smooth. I especially like how fine the particles are, since they are gentle even when I have inflamed pimples on my face. This helps tone down redness, and the BHA really helps keep my nose blackhead-free.

This is a wonderful albeit pricey scrub. I find it to be perfect for my combination skin that can get a bit flakey due to using Green Cream. The "grains" are small (but there are tons). I find it gentle yet effective. Also, the product comes in an easy flip top squeeze tube. You will find that not much product comes out but you don't need much -- the first couple of times I used it, I squeezed out enough for 2 or 3 applications. I use this approx twice a week on my face, neck and decollete. Because it also contains AHA/BHA, I leave it on a bit after gently scrubbing while I tend to the rest of myself in the shower.

My favorite face scrub for my combination skin. The tiny jojoba beads gently buff away flakes and the cleansing base rinses off quickly and completely. This scrub is especially refreshing on a hot summer day. If I'm wearing full makeup or heavy sunscreen, I use a makeup remover first or follow up with toner. As with any scrub, be sure to avoid the eye area.

So far I like this. I like that it has a chemical exfoliant (AHA/BHA) and the jojoba beads.

I think this might be a little too much to use every day, but it's a great to use a few times a week to keep the skin exfoliated.

I liked this a lot, I use it a couple of times a week and voila!--my skin looks fresh and clean, no flakes! That's the biggest problem with my skin, is flaking and acne. This helped to rid the flakiness and the clarifying cleanser got rid of my acne!

i like it, but i feel that from using it so much it has sensitised my skin. and stripped my acid mantle. i like the feel of the jojoba beads, it feels as though my face is actually clean. i don't feel like its gentle enough to use everyday. because of the AHA and BHA. i personally think your face shouldn't be stripped everyday.

This is an average scrub cleanser with tiny microbeads that contains AHA and BHA that is supposed to manually and chemically exfoliate your skin. However,the treatment is washed down the drain and pretty ineffective. You can try a cheaper alternative like OoO Daily Renewing Cleanser with BHA and microbeads.

This is a facial scrub with added aha and bha, the tiny jojoba beads in this cleanser is pretty gentle. I like the idea of this cleanser doing three jobs at once with the cleanser, aha/bha and a manual exfoliation all in one.
It does leave my skin soft and supple, also takes off makeup completely(my makeup is very minimal). It feels gentle enough for me to use everyday in the shower, so far no irritation or breakouts.
If it continue to work well for me, I would buy this again when I run out.
