    I have been on the hunt for a good product to exfoliate. After reading the rave reviews here, and elsewhere, I thought I had to try it. While the product was okay, it did not live up to my...

    This product came to me highly recommended by a friend because she knows I have ridiculously dry, flaky skin usually. This DOES work well as an exfoliator, especially when used on a slightly...

    I purchased the Volcanic Ash Exfoliator when it was re-released with the MAC Style Black Collection in October. I was so excited when I got it, and the results where instant. For starters, I have...

    I bought this because of the hype; wanted to see if it was all that. It's not. Now maybe this is because I'm an esthetician and have had experience with other skincare products, but I have to say...

    The granules are pretty large and rough, but they melt when put in contact with wet skin, so you get a soft scrub that still gently exfoliates. Its scary that it is so dark, and foamy though....

    I like this stuff, but not as much as I was hoping to. The sugar that acts as the exfoliator in it is really great because it dissolves and makes my face feel SO smooth. But this stuff smells...

    This stuff really rocks! It leaves skin so clean and soft. What really sets it apart from other exfoliators is the foaming action. Even though it only foams a little bit, I think foaming makes the...

    This product is just ok. The scrub has tiny little granules that gradually disappear into a creamy texture as you rub them into your face. The product itself is black, which is a little scary, so...

    This is not a very good exfoliator. It is soooo gentle that it barely does anything. I could crack a pack of sugar open and exfoliate better with that and that would be a lot cheaper! Plus it is so...
