I have sensitive skin and acne prone so I thought this gentle formula would be a good product to regularly exfoliate. However I have kept it in the shower to use in the mornings and the small hole...

Love this product, I use it every night before cleansing. I find it really does the job, and it doesn't have any scent. My only complaint would be that it is hard to pour out, so sometimes I use...

Its OK - but for the price (too high IMO) not worth it. A basic mechanical exfoliator. Not too strong, not too wimpy.

Aw man. I really wanted to LOOOOVE this product. It's really neat and kind of fun to use. And it does make my skin super soft (albeit dry) but I think it also made me break out. My face would be...

This is my HG scrub. I was skeptical at first since the powder is very fine, but this uses enzymes to exfoliate your face, not actual scrubby beads. I cleanse my skin before using this, and then I...

This is NOT a cleanser - please bear that in mind. As the title suggested, it's an exfoliator. The best I have encountered so far. Yes, it is a bit peculiar to mix the powder with water and run...

This is a dry product. You put a little in the palm of your hand, mix with warm water to create a paste and rub on your face (or anywhere else!). It has no scent. It melts fairly quickly so be sure...

A powder as a gentle daily scrub - that's genious! why wasn't it thought of before. When adding water, it turns into a paste & foams up ever so lightly. So you can double this as a cleanser...

Main advantage of this product is that it does what it says - it gently exfoliates your face. I have noticed my skin's texture is improved after use, however I am not sure if it is worth the price!...

$50 for 2.6 oz It has a very powdery consistency (hence, it's very gentle). I did not notice any changes (good or bad) in my skin. For $50 that is not a good thing! I bought this before I...
