Wanted to let you all know of another use I found for this that was a lifesaver to me! Chapped lips! My lips have been peeling off and cracking for over a month now and NO product would make...

The beauty of this scrub is that it works for everyone. Those with sensitive skin can use it on dampened skin for a gentler scrub, and those who can handle it can use it on dry skin for more of a...

This review is gonna be short and to the point...OUCH! Luckily I received a generous sample of this product in a swap, as I have never thought about trying MAC's "exfoliator" before, but let me say...

This is my HG scrub! I only use every few days because it is quite abrasive -so beware, this is not for the faint of heart (the equivalent in my mind was Stila's old petal infusion scrub - but for...

I've got a oily t-zone and normal skin on my cheeks, and around my nose and upper lip area I had a lot of flaky, dry, scaly skin (i know, weird for a oily t-zone) and I'd tried every scrub to get...

This scrub is not bad. I'm on Retin A Micro, been on it for about a year and a half and I get random flaky phases. This works well. It is harsh though, so you have to be gentle with it. Because of...

I have sensitive skin that reacts poorly to scrubs, and this stuff works well with me. The more water you mix in with Microfine, the thinner it will become, so if you need it to be a more subtle...

LOVE this stuff. If you are having problems with this, add more water to thin it out... Leaves my skin glowing (not red & irritated) and smooth as a baby's butt. I use this 2x a week. Every time I...

Kind of harsh so I ended up using it for my body. It was cheap so no big worries.

I think the reason some people say this is too harsh is because they are using it wrong. This product is NOT meant to be used on damp/wet skin; it is meant to be used on dry skin. It has the same...

To be honest I never thought that MAC and great skincare to come up in the same sentence! But this stuff is great, I bought it based on some recs from the boards and the reviews. The price was a...

i'm kind of torn on this product. like other reviewers, this scrub is definitely on the intense side. be sure to be VERY gentle when using. that's what the biggest drawback for me is. i love...

Okay, this scrub is NOT meant for sensitive skin. All those reviewers who claim this scrub is too abrasive must go try a gentler one with "gentle beads." The MAC refinisher is definitely good for...

I know that its probably better than most cheaper scrubs out there but those microfine particles really scratch and it hurts to use it.. Its a good thing I got it as a sample from the MAC counter.

Not bad at all. I just happen to find that AVON'S 'clinical'Micro exfoliator to be superior, I get better results with it. They are similiar in size, tube and texure. When Avon has a half-off sale,...

This is by far the best scrub I've ever used. I have easily irritated skin, but this didn't bother me at all - and it really worked! I have to say, I used medium pressure, not heavy, like I would...
