    This is just an average scrub. It feels very mild and has teeny tiny exfoliating particles which are supposed to be diamond powder and quartz powder. The diamond and quartz powder can be seen as...

    Finally, a gem by La Mer (aside from the original cream and it's lotion cousins). This is an awesome scrub/microdermabrasion product. The tube, which for La Mer, I think is reasonably priced. ...

    Unfreaking believable!!! Been using for a week or so and I now have the softest skin I have had in 15 years. AMAZING. The soft skin makes the bizarre glitter worth it.

    this product is a very mild exfoliator. perhaps too gentle to be effective in exfoliating anything. for those who can't use an abrasive scrub, i would recommend an enzyme mask. i personally love...

    I have combo skin and I massage this all over the face with a little water for a few minutes after cleansing. After you rinse your face, skin is definitely smoother and softer. However, I agree...

    A good scrub, but totally over priced. I like the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant more than this and it is half the price. I will use it up but I won't be buying it again.

    I think this is a nice product as a splurge. I use it only as a scrub, and it leaves my skin soft and glowing. The texture of the diamond dust is also very nice. However, for $75, I am not sure it...

    It's an OK product only if it's cheaper for the quality that it comes in my opinion.
