    This was my first La Mer purchase and oh boy what a huge rip off! The tube is quite big and has a screw top lid which is quite heavy but the tub is plastic. It's a scrub that you leave on as a mask...

    It is a white clay (Kaolin) based mask/scrub with jojoba-beads that provides gentle exfoliation. It has some impressive actives, however, the contact time of the product with the skin is too short...

    The best face scrub I have ever used! Diamond powder exfoliates without damaging the skin. My skin is softer and brighter after using this product.

    For reference, I have combination, acne prone skin. I ran out of a scrub, so my mom let me use this. I use this weekly after I come out of the sauna. First I cleanse with my biotherm pure fect...

    This is the best exfoliating product I've found. I suppose I'd have to call it an HG product, though I hate spending $75 for a scrub. (I'm on my second tube, however, and the first lasted me over...

    Works well as a scrub but for those with delicate skin, be careful not to over-scrub because the diamond particles, though fine, can be extremely abrasive. Found that my skin looks "fairer" after...

    I do like this, I really do - but the price of AU$200 is very prohibative. <br> This is not your typical scrub, but more of a clay mask with very small, sharp diamond/quartz fragments in it. It...

    I love this product. It makes my skin look amazing. Tones down the red, if I have any. Hides breakouts. Or plays up the good skin days. It's worth paying the money for everytime.

    For some reason I always come back to this product over and over again. As the previous reviewer pointed out, it does leave a white film and "sparkles" on you face. This is not a big issue for me...

    General: Not a bad 'refiner' - this is by no means a 'scrub' since it has the texture of a clay-mask with the odd smattering of 'scrub-like' particles within it. It is a nice treatment that can be...
