    I really regret buying this. I've used half the tube and haven't seen any results, plus it leaves my skin with a chalky white residue.

    I got a sample of this from Holt Renfrew. Like the heroine dealer giving the first 'fix' for free, I think it was a marketing ploy because I now cannot live without it. It is a lightly scented...

    Swapped mine away. Really ordinary product with an identity crisis: Is it a masque? A scrub? Who knows. For a high-end exfoliant that works, get Dr. Brandt's Microdermabrasion in a Jar.

    It is a pricey product but one tube lasts more than a year for me. It brightens up the complexion instantly, and I'm so happy that it has never broken me out! The trick, I think, is to use a lot of...

    I tried out the samples, and it's a nice scrub, but you really have to "scrub" it off to get the film off your skin. I love all of the other La Mer products, but this one doesn't really stand out...

    It's feels like a green-white clay base (like a typical pale green clay mud mask) with exfoliating beads inside. The only difference to normal exfoliators is that it's not a cleanser based (i.e....

    I dislike this scrub. I got a large sample at Neiman's and followed the suggestion that I use toner afterward, to get the diamond flecks off my face, with limited success. My co-workers noticed...

    Not worth the 75$--you are basically paying for the thrill of buy a so called "fabulous" product. The whole line is way over-hyped.

    I'm still on the fence over this one; as it contains diamonds which are a girl's best friend, but not on the skin. I like the slight minty fragrance and masklike option of this. The scrubbing...

    Good scrub. Not completely refining, but gives good results. You have to apply to a wet (not damp) face or it will dry quickly. Smells great. Probably the best thing about this is that it can...
