    A very expensive, non-effective, pimple-provoking, pore-clogging exfoliator. Haven't had those in a while. It's very pretty in bathroom though. I think that's why I bought it. Please don't...

    This is a gentle exfoliator to me - the sugar crystals melt a little too fast for my liking, I like to rub for a good couple minutes before rinsing off, and these go away within 20-30 seconds....

    Where has this been all my life?!?! I used to use MK's microdermabrasion kit and it would leave my skin smooth and silky but it's sooo scratchy and would hurt! Now that I've found MAC's volcanic...

    This product basically feels like scratchy sugar with black colouring and too much fragrance. You could easily get the same effect by using sugar and some olive oil. I wouldn't buy it again because...

    to me this isn't any better or worse than other exfoliators i've used. the consistency is like a sugar scrub, but it dissolves when rubbed into the skin gently. does have a pleasant smell though....

    I love this exfoliator and let me tell you why?....first, the smell is pleasant with an earthy note as of course they add a scent. 2nd, I find it very easy and gentle on my skin without...

    I bought this on the re-release with Heavenly Creatures. Love the transparent squeeze tube, the scent was okay (kind of like an Aveda earthy smell). Used it 2x and it made me break out...

    This was one of those products that everyone talked about. So knowing me, I practically ran to my MAC store to buy it. I do like how it exfoliates. It's gentle enough that it doesnt hurt my face...

    I was so excited to find this at a CCO! I must say... I just don't understand the hype. I personally do not like the scent. It does what it's meant to do - exfoliate your face, but you can find...

    The exfoliator is just a bit better than the thermal mask. The smell is not the best in the world, but it is what it is. This is a okay product; it is not worth the $ 19.50 I paid for it. It was...

    This is a fun exfoliator. I mean, IT'S BLACK! Fun but not an excellent product, it feels very gritty and the black color turns gray when mixed with water and for me, doesn't take much to wash off....
